ASUS is rolling out some new high-speed gaming monitors through its enthusiast Republic of Gamers (ROG) division, and one of them is capable of hitting a blistering 610Hz refresh rate. Yeah, you’re going to need a meaty graphics card to come anywhere close to taking full advantage of that kind of speed. For those equipped to do so, however, this is the fastest refresh rate around (that we’re aware of).
It’s also revealed to be a 24.1-inch display with a Super TN panel (sorry, no OLED goodness at this speed tier…yet). And while not mentioned, this is undoubtedly a Full HD 1080p display with a 1920×1080 resolution.
There are a few additional bells and whistles revealed, including the fact that it’s an AMD FreeSync Premium monitor with NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility to boot. It also features a 0.1ms response time, 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs (as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack), and some AI bits (such as a dynamic crosshair).
The ASUS ROG Swift XG248Q5G-P comes bundled with an adjustable arm bracket and will purportedly ship next month for 7,999 Chinese Yuan, which is close to $1,100 in US currency.
