ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is the world’s first monitor to achieve a refresh rate 540 Hz. A record for a screen that is intended for use in eSports or enthusiast gamers who want the fastest monitor on the market.

Refresh rate, also known as refresh rate, is a key value when purchasing screens, especially more specialized gaming monitors that must display images coming from the graphics chip to avoid image fragmentation, judder, flickering, input lag, and other display defects that degrade the experience. Or if we are concerned with a competition in esports.

Of course, when we talk about refresh rate, the higher the better. This value has not stopped growing in recent years from 30/60 Hz of the basic monitor and from there today we find all sorts of values ​​depending on the type of technology used for the panel and the native resolution, since the higher it is, the more it costs to increase the refresh rate.

ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP

This model represents the highest refresh rate achieved so far, some impressive 540 Hz. Use a special type panel for this E-TN which claims to be 60% faster than standard TN. This type of panel, without being the best for image quality, is the one that allows you to get the highest frequency.

The ASUS model has a diagonal of o 24.1 inches and its native resolution will remain at FHD for 1920 x 1080 pixels. It supports G-Sync image synchronization technology and includes NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer, which captures end-to-end system latency and provides the best gaming experience. Audio is also enhanced with a built-in ESS DAC that provides surround sound, as well as enhancements for shooters (shooting and footsteps) by minimizing audio lag.

The monitor has a new stand design with retractable and locking claws that reduce the footprint of the stand and free up desk space. No price has been given for this monitor, which is specifically aimed at professional gamers and sets a new refresh rate record.

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM

Another of the new monitors that ASUS presented at CES is committed to the image quality provided by OLED panels, but also maintaining a high refresh rate. Actually, reaches 240 Hz which is the current limit for this type of panel and is combined with a response time of just 0.3 milliseconds.

It has a size of 27 inches and an interesting native resolution 1440 p. It features an anti-reflective micro-textured coating that reduces reflections and provides a better viewing experience in all lighting conditions. Its maximum brightness is also high: 1000 nits.

ASUS improved the thermal design of the monitor to protect the OLED panel and increase its lifespan. It has its own heatsink and a new internal design to improve cooling. Internal airflow has been optimized and the top vents are larger to improve evenness of heat dissipation, while intelligent voltage optimization ensures consistent brightness for each pixel by controlling the amount of voltage applied to it.

ROG claims to have worked closely with the panel manufacturer to determine the correlation between OLED brightness, voltage level and operating temperature. An algorithm encoded by the smart panel optimizes the voltage based on temperature changes to ensure consistent brightness across the panel. We do not have a price for this model with a closed size to the average that the monitor sector achieves, but with a good resolution and great image quality thanks to the OLED panel.
