But wait there's more. If you think that 180 Hz in the previous news-item already was a lot, how about 240 Hz ? No I have no clue who would actually need 240 Hz but ASUS is working on the PG258Q, a 24.5 Inch monitor with 1920x1080 resolution and Gsync Module.

There aren't many technical details that Asus announced. The manufacturer speaks of a response time of 1ms , it is almost certain that this is a monitor with TN panel. The screen comes in a color scheme with titanium and copper hues , says Asus.

In the base are incorporated LEDs , a light on the desk. The monitor only works with DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4.

i guess 240 Hz is truly an over kill, although it dose look kinda cool, PG248Q is more appalling for the old school people who would settle for a 23"-24" display if it's ranged in a right price segment, and can't tell the deference between HD, UHD and 4K on a 23" display

price range?Asus Rog monitors is too expansive.can buy 40 inch 4k led tv in price of some of Asus monitors.

The 40" LED TV have more input lag, doesn't have the real high refresh rate but yeah I agree Rog monitors is to expensive when you might be able to get cheaper monitors that's almost the same for cheaper.

Correct ... TV .. not gaming monitor. There is a difference.

Asus already have a 4K 144Hz prototype TN panel.

I'm pretty sure i won't afford one when they will bring it to the market (also because the Romanian market lacks the capability to bring new stuff fast).

But at some point ... waiting for this to happen so i can upgrade!

Fun fact, Sony had 240Hz Playstation monitor years ago, even if in 3D mode.

display

bt .20.20 HDR is what interests me more than anything else on dp 1.3,1.4
The bandwidth from a dp1.4 that will run a 120htz 4k if using HDR will be slashed in half back down to 60 htz so we just end up back to where we was so we can use the new colour bt20.20
Ironic
