Our Verdict
AOC AGON AG271QX
ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q
The ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q is much better than the AOC AGON AG271QX. The PG279Q has much better viewing angles and an optional black frame insertion feature for even clearer motion. The AG271QX has better gradient handling, and there is almost no banding in areas of similar color.
