This achievement is said to validate AOC\u2019s ability to tune into the design, innovation, aesthetic and performance needs that are demanded by today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s gaming generation. In particular, it consolidates AOC\u2019s alignment with the aspirations of a new generation of gaming enthusiasts, at all skill levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meeting fierce industry competition,\u00a0AOC has successfully developed and marketed monitor models that answer customer requirements at all levels, from casual gamers to full-blooded esports experts, from leisure to professional. Cutting-edge design, leading performance, and cleverly conceived features all play key roles in how AOC is leading the gaming monitor pack, whether it\u2019s for entry-, medium-, or high-level gamers. Its 2020 collaboration with renowned\u00a0Porsche Design\u00a0to create the PD27 monitor, a perfect fusion of form and function, was a perfect illustration of this, while the striking AG273FXR \u2018Pink Power\u2019 Agon monitor dared to challenge design boundaries while fostering empowerment among its gaming audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AOC\u2019s drive to work in sync with current performance trends has resulted in higher refresh rates, now up to a whopping\u00a0360Hz,\u00a0larger panel sizes,\u00a01000R curvature,\u00a0mini-LED\u00a0backlighting, and, in answer to increasing demand, \u201cSuper Wide\u201d and \u201cUltra Wide\u201d (21:9 and 32:9) monitors. Add in all the benefits of the\u00a0240Hz\u00a0refresh rates selected in many models and Nvidia\u00a0G-SYNC\u00a0Ultimate and AMD\u00a0FreeSync Premium Pro\u00a0anti-tearing technologies and it is clear to see users get the very best gaming experience. Positive peer reviews across the board in trade and consumer publications have been further evidence of the fundamental success of AOC\u2019s market and product strategy. With AOC carrying off prestigious design awards such as\u00a0RedDot Design Awards\u00a0in 2020, the strategy is clearly working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Said Kevin Wu, General Manager of MMD Singapore, \u201cWe feel this achievement is a significant recognition of the design and brand excellence that we strive to maintain, even in a situation where this high-growth sector has been given an unexpected boost by the pandemic. Populations worldwide looked for answers to the boredom of being forced to stay home, while many also needed to invest in new equipment for\u00a0Working from Home (WFH). Going forward, we are determined to continue our leadership role in this hugely competitive field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As evidence of AOC\u2019s success in meeting its audiences\u2019 needs, the company launched its own highly popular \u2018AOC Masters Tournament\u2019 esports event in Asia in 2020, quickly gaining an enthusiastic online following, with tens of thousands of participants and followers tracking the fortunes of the esports teams as they battled for the inaugural Masters crown. In this space, AOC further enhanced its brand recognition through collaborations with champion esports teams such as\u00a0G2\u00a0and\u00a0RNG\u00a0as well as a long-tern event partnership with\u00a0Redbull\u00a0and collaboration with the\u00a0IeSF\u00a0(International Esports Federation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continued Wu, \u201cAOC\u2019s ongoing advancements in monitor technologies have been key to our market successes, and we\u2019re particularly proud of some of the high-end monitor ranges that we\u2019ve launched, such as the premium\u00a0Agon4, the\u00a0Porsche Design collaboration, and the\u00a0G3 Series. These will provide benchmark platforms for our efforts to consolidate our current market position in gaming monitors, with ongoing success a real goal, as we continue to listen and work with the gaming community, and in particular its new members, globally.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaming monitor specialist AOC has again been named by IDC as the global market-share leader in gaming monitors.
