Asus ROG unveils its first 610Hz gaming monitor

Asus has announced two new ROG gaming monitors in China, each catering to different needs. The ROG XG248Q5G-P is aimed at those who want the highest refresh rate possible, while the ROG XG32UCG offers a dual-Hz mode so users can choose between a higher resolution or refresh rate.

According to Wccftech, the ROG XG248Q5G-P is a 24.1-inch monitor that prioritises speed, boasting an impressive 610Hz refresh rate, placing it among the fastest displays available. While it may not match the colour accuracy and size of current Mini-LED or OLED monitors, its 90% DCI-P3 color gamut should provide adequate colour reproduction. Note that achieving the 610Hz refresh rate requires overclocking. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1. For ergonomics, Asus included a monitor arm. The official presentation does not explicitly state the resolution, but we assume it's Full HD. The marketing material also shows the monitor has a 0.1ms response time and supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.

The ASUS ROG XG32UCG adopts a different approach with its Dual-Hz mode. This 32-inch monitor uses Fast IPS technology, covers 95% of the DCI-P3 colour spectrum and offers users the choice between two modes: 4K resolution at a 160Hz refresh rate or Full HD resolution at a 320Hz refresh rate. This flexibility allows users to prioritise either visual fidelity or high-speed gameplay. The XG32UCG also supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 and supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. The rated response time is a mere 0.3 ms.

The Asus ROG XG248Q5G-P will be released in China for 7999 RMB (£838), while the Asus ROG XG32UCG will cost 3999 RMB (£419). Asus has not yet confirmed release dates for these monitors in regions outside of China.
