At Computex 2025, ASUS unveiled an impressive gamer monitor aimed at cyber athletes and fans of fast-paced competitive gaming.

Here's What We Know

The model is called ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG and its main feature is a record refresh rate of 610Hz. This figure is not achieved by any monitor, but for this gamers will have to pay for the quality of the image, because the TN-matrix, which is used in the ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG, is significantly inferior to IPS and OLED-panels.

The main features of the ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG are:

  • display: 24.1″ Super TN-matrix with a resolution of 1920×1080 (Full HD);
  • 400 nits peak brightness. This meets the VESA DisplayHDR 400 standard, which means basic HDR support, but without the deep contrast of an OLED or Mini-LED;
  • 610Hz refresh rate (in overclocked mode);
  • response time: 0.1 ms, input lag 0.8 ms;
  • Extreme Low Motion Blur 2 (ELMB 2) to minimise blur and increase brightness by up to 65%;
  • up to 90% DCI-P3 colour saturation;
  • Support for NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync to eliminate frame gaps;
  • connectivity: DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, 3.5mm audio jack.

The monitor is mounted on a compact stand that makes room for a keyboard and mouse.

ASUS has not yet announced the price and launch date for the ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG.
