Asus has announced two new gaming monitors this month – the ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS and the ROG Strix XG129C. The XG34WCDMS is a 34-inch curved ultrawide featuring a high-refresh-rate RGB Tandem QD-OLED panel, while the XG129C is a 12.3-inch secondary touchscreen designed for system monitoring and productivity.
The ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS uses a WQHD (3440×1440) 1800R curved panel with a 0.03ms GTG response time and a 280Hz refresh rate. It features “BlackShield Film” to improve scratch resistance and black levels, alongside the ROG Stripe Pixel arrangement for text clarity. The monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black-compliant and covers 99% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 15W power delivery.
The ROG Strix XG129C is a secondary 1920×720 IPS display with a 24:9 aspect ratio. It features 10-point touch controls and comes bundled with a one-year subscription to AIDA64 Extreme (€59.95), allowing it to serve as a hardware-monitoring dashboard via exclusive ROG SensorPanel interfaces. The panel covers 125% sRGB and includes a hybrid-signal USB-C port for single-cable power and video, as well as an HDMI 1.2 port.
Both monitors are supported by the ASUS DisplayWidget Center for setting adjustments and firmware updates. The XG34WCDMS features a new compact stand design, while the XG129C includes a built-in adjustable kickstand and a standard tripod socket for mounting.

KitGuru says: The ROG Strix XG129C looks especially useful for someone who wants a second monitor but doesn't have the desk space for a standard-sized monitor.
