ASUS Unveils 720Hz OLED Monitors as Its Fast IPS Line Reaches 920Hz

Summary

  • 720Hz is the final spec for ASUS's leaked 24.5-inch ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, confirming the company’s top Gamescom esports display and lifting the earlier “above 600Hz” figure.
  • Three 1080p OLED models make up the new lineup: the Tandem WOLED PG259QWS at 720Hz, the QD-OLED XG259QDPG at 560Hz, and the QD-OLED XG259QDNS at 360Hz.
  • ASUS is pairing those panels with esports-focused features, including a position sensor on the PG259QWS and BlackShield Film on the Strix OLEDs that it says boosts surface hardness 2.5 times and improves perceived blacks by up to 40%.
  • Two 27-inch Fast IPS monitors broaden the launch: the XG27UCMG switches between 4K 240Hz, QHD 400Hz and FHD 488Hz, while the XG27ACNS scales from QHD 475Hz to FHD 620Hz and HD 920Hz.
  • Pricing for the new Gamescom OLED monitors is still unannounced, leaving ASUS's record refresh-rate push framed mainly by specs ahead of the show.
