In a media gathering event held at its Philippine HQ, ASUS showcased its newest lineup of gaming monitors which focused on faster speeds and larger screens combined with innovative display technologies, all designed to up your gaming experience to the next level.
These trends pushes ASUS’ development of its new monitors by adding features such as 0.5ms response time, HDR, FreeSync 2, and IPS displays with high refresh rates.
Faster Gaming Monitors Now A Reality
The new VG258QR and VG278QR both boast 165Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time.
The VG279Q on the other hand, uses an IPS panel and has 144Hz refresh rate, a feature that’s unique to it.
These monitors are also equipped with Radeon FreeSync, to eliminate scree tearing and Extreme Low Motion Blue (ELMB) to minimize blurring in fast-paced titles. There’s also ASUS MOBA Mode, which highlights health bars on select MOBA games.
Bigger, Crisper, and Powerful
The new ROG Strix XG32VQR now incorporates HDR 400, and boasts 144Hz refresh rate, 125% sRGB, and AMD’s FreeSync 2 HDR Technology. All these features go hand-in-hand to deliver rich in-game colors plus wide black and white tones, along with tear-free visuals.
ASUS’ first Dual Full HD (DFHD) LCD monitor, the ROG Strix XG49VQ, boasts a resolution of 3840×1080, enough for three sources to be plugged in and displayed on the screen. A content creator’s dream, it features a panel rated to have a 90% DCI-P3, 125% sRGB, and DisplayHDR 400, resulting to excellent colors and richer contrast.
