Asus Announces ROG Swift 500Hz Gaming Monitor

by

Asus has announced the ROG Swift 500Hz, a 500 Hz refresh-rate esports gaming monitor. It features a 24.1-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display that utilises Esports-TN panel (E-TN) technology to produce 60% shorter response times than standard TN LCD displays. The monitor includes NVIDIA G-SYNC, and the enhanced Esports Vibrance mode built directly into the monitor firmware. It is reported to allow more light to travel through the LCD crystals, giving colours new levels of vibrancy and the device also includes NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer, allowing gamers to measure latency with just a single click.

“When we introduced the first 144 Hz monitor in 2012, people said the human eye can only perceive 60 frames per second,” explains Gavin Tsai, Display Product Manager for ASUS. “Then, when we introduced our 240 Hz monitor, they said the human can’t perceive the difference,” continues Tsai. “Today, in a market where 144 Hz and 240 Hz gaming monitors are common and standard specs, we are breaking entirely new ground with the incredibly fast ROG Swift 500Hz.”

With reduced motion blur and lower input latency, the ROG Swift 500Hz has been designed to give professional esports gamers an advantage in tournaments. Its low latency is made possible in part through a vital partnership with NVIDIA.  

“The ROG Swift 500Hz with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology provides gamers the lowest latency available of any monitor on the market,” said Seth Schneider, Esports product manager at NVIDIA. “And with NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer on board, gamers can measure their latency with one click, ensuring the fastest response times for the most intense games.”

ASUS ROG releases a brand new 360Hz monitor under its Swift series

by

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) have announced that their all-new ROG Swift 360Hz monitor, the PG259QNR has also been chosen as the official gaming monitor for the DOTA 2 The International 10 tournament where the world’s best teams will gather in Bucharest, Romania and battle it out until mid-October to win the first-place prize purse of $15 million. This says a lot about the quality of the monitor which we will explore in the section below.

The PG259QNR comes with the NVIDIA G-Sync and Reflex technologies and offers a stunning refresh rate of 360Hz, offering a 50% higher refresh rate over its predecessors. Running games on high settings can lead to frame rate fluctuations, but due to the integrated G-Sync technology, the visuals and the gameplay can be kept smooth and lag-free.

This lauded gaming monitor fosters no motion blur and minimal ghosting in order to allow gamers focus on what’s most important: the in-game action. The pixel response time – which is the time taken for a pixel to transition from one colour to the next – is optimised by the G-Sync Variable Overdrive technology which does so in order for the monitor to deliver best motion clarity at all frame rates.

The PG529QNR delivers extremely low latency and features the NVIDIA Reflex which is the world’s first latency-measurement technology. In this context, the latency referred to is the system latency which determines the length of time it takes for a mouse click to occur in game and be displayed on-screen. Through the Reflex analyser’s ability, gamers can tune in-game settings and get the lowest system latency.

The Swift 360 Hz PG259QNR includes the ROG Desk Mount Kit to help gamers free up desk space. The kit has a C-clamp bracket that fits desks or table tops up to 8 cm thick, and it includes padding to protect the desk surface. Once tightened and locked into place, the final setup is a breeze, with the mounting arm of the monitor slipping right into the bracket.

For more information, please visit the ROG Swift 360Hz PG529QNR’s product page. The pricing for this monitor can be found out through local ASUS representatives.

With some latest, high-quality features working in tandem, Asus ROG’s new Swift 360Hz PG259QNR monitor is one of the most alluring gaming monitors out there in the market that strives to take gaming to the next level.

Offering a refresh rate of 360Hz – which is a 50% improvement over its 240Hz monitors – this new 24.5-inch FHD gaming monitor features the Nvidia G-Sync technology and the Nvidia Reflex Latency Analyzer, which is a newly-integrated system-latency measurement tool – essentially measuring the time taken for the pixels to change on the screen once a click of the mouse is detected. The monitor also supports HDR10.

The Swift 360Hz PG259QNR monitor features a Fast IPS panel technology for a 1ms gray-to-gray response time. Additionally, the monitor also comes with a ROG Desk Mount Kit which enables it to be clamped and situated at the edge of almost any flat work surface. Asus ROG also mentions that ‘the stock adjustable mounting arm of the monitor drops right into the desk mount, making more room for a keyboard and mouse so gamers can sit closer to the screen.’

More so, the monitor is designed with a non-glare display surface, a non-reflective bottom bezel as well and it features a new indicator light on the underside of the bezel, which is out of the player’s line of sight enabling fewer distractions. The monitor is equipped with the following I/O ports: a DP (v1.4), HDMI (v2.0), USB 3.0 x 2, and an earphone jack.

The pricing of the 24.5-inch monitor isn’t available yet but for more information, please visit this page.
