AOC Unveils 610Hz AGON PRO Gaming Monitors in Partnership with Counter-Strike 2 at IEM Cologne 2025
AOC has officially announced two groundbreaking esports monitors designed to set a new standard for high-speed competitive gaming. The AGON PRO CS24A and AGON PRO AG246FK6 are the world’s first consumer gaming displays to reach an astonishing 610Hz refresh rate, pushing the boundaries of display technology in collaboration with Counter-Strike 2. Designed specifically for esports professionals and fast-paced FPS fans, these monitors offer unprecedented smoothness, responsiveness, and customization for elite-level performance.
“We've worked closely with the Counter-Strike community to understand what truly matters at the highest levels of play, he result is a monitor that pushes beyond 600 Hz to 610 Hz, because in Counter-Strike 2, every millisecond counts. Whether you choose the CS24A with its exclusive CS2 styling or the AG246FK6 in the classic AGON PRO design, you're getting the same uncompromising performance that professional players demand.

Reaching New Heights: 610Hz and Sub-Millisecond Response Times
The AGON PRO CS24A and AG246FK6 feature a native 600Hz refresh rate that can be overclocked to 610Hz, supported by a 0.5ms GtG (gray-to-gray) and 0.3ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) response rate. These specifications virtually eliminate motion blur and ghosting, offering ultra-fluid gameplay critical for reaction-based esports titles like Counter-Strike 2.
Both models use a 24.1-inch Full HD (1920x1080) TN panel, optimized for maximum speed. Additional support for AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC ensures tear-free gameplay, making these monitors ideal for professional environments where every frame counts.
