AGON by AOC has announced the AGP327KG, a 31.5-inch 5120x2880 gaming monitor running at 144Hz that becomes the world's first 5K display with NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar support, unveiled at Gamescom 2026. No pricing or release date has been shared yet.
AGON by AOC has unveiled the AGP327KG, a 31.5-inch gaming monitor with a native 5120x2880 resolution running at 144Hz, according to TechPowerUp and Digital Trends. AOC and NVIDIA are calling it the world's first 5K monitor to feature G-SYNC Pulsar, NVIDIA's variable frequency backlight technology designed to sharpen perceived motion clarity without changing the actual refresh rate.
Until now, G-SYNC Pulsar has been limited to 27-inch, 2560x1440 panels topping out at 360Hz, specs aimed squarely at competitive gamers chasing high frame rates. The AGP327KG takes a different route: instead of pushing refresh rate higher, AOC quadrupled the pixel count and grew the panel to 31.5 inches while settling for a more modest 144Hz, betting that gamers moving past 1440p prioritize resolution and immersion over frame rate. The monitor also includes G-SYNC Ambient Adaptive Technology, a built-in ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness and color temperature to match the surrounding room.
"G-SYNC Pulsar represents a major advancement in gaming display technology, bringing the ultimate motion clarity alongside variable refresh rate gaming," said Justin Walker, Senior Director of GeForce Product Management at NVIDIA, per TechPowerUp. Acer previously showed a similar 31.5-inch 5K G-SYNC Pulsar monitor, the Predator XB323QX, at CES and Computex 2025, but according to Digital Trends that display still hasn't shipped. AOC has not yet shared pricing or a release date for the AGP327KG, meaning it's still unclear which company will actually get a 5K G-SYNC Pulsar monitor onto shelves first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution and refresh rate does the AOC AGP327KG support?
The AGP327KG features a 31.5-inch panel with a native 5120x2880 (5K) resolution running at a 144Hz refresh rate.
What is G-SYNC Pulsar?
G-SYNC Pulsar is NVIDIA's variable frequency backlight technology that improves perceived motion clarity by pulsing the backlight, helping fast-moving objects stay sharper without changing the actual refresh rate, while maintaining tear-free variable refresh rate gaming.
Is the AOC AGP327KG the first 5K monitor with G-SYNC Pulsar?
AOC and NVIDIA are billing it as the world's first 5K gaming monitor with G-SYNC Pulsar support. Acer showed a similar spec monitor, the Predator XB323QX, earlier but it has not shipped yet, so 'first' may end up meaning first to actually reach the market.
When can I buy the AOC AGP327KG and how much does it cost?
AOC has not yet announced a release date or pricing for the AGP327KG. It was showcased live at the AGON by AOC booth at Gamescom 2026.
