Asus introduces the TUF Gaming VG30VQL1A, a 200Hz curved gaming monitor

ASUS is adding a new TUF Gaming monitor to its ranks this week. The new VG30VQL1A offers a curved, 21:9 display with a blazing fast 200Hz refresh rate, enabling smoother performance in games, particularly competitive titles like CS:GO, Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends etc. 

The VG30VQL1A uses a curved (1500R) VA panel with a 2560×1080 resolution, 200Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT when Asus ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur) is enabled. This panel has an 8-bit colour depth, 300nits of typical brightness and a 3000:1 contrast ratio, allowing it to cover 127% of the sRGB colour space. The spec sheet states the monitor can playback HDR10+ content, although there is no DisplayHDR certification.

Like most monitors of today, it features both flicker-free technology and low blue light mode to reduce eye strain and FreeSync Premium for a tearless gaming experience. Moreover, users may enable Variable Overdrive technology, allowing the monitor to change the overdrive setting depending on the framerate to reduce ghosting. Other gaming-oriented features include Shadow Boost, GamePlus overlay suite and various colour presets.

For connectivity, you'll find 2x HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.2. There's also a USB hub with 2x USB 3.0 ports, a 3.5mm earphone jack and 2x 2W internal speakers. The included ergonomic stand allows for height, tilt and swivel adjustments.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
