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.

This is good I always get headaches unless the refresh rate is a multiple of 60 so 240hz would make sense for me, I remember switching up my monitor to 144hz and even to this day I can't handle it, feels like my eyes are melting but if I set it back down to 120hz I have no issues whatsoever, I imagine 3D would be alot better at 240hz as well instead of 60 per eye you get 120 per eye.

The monitor is geared toward the competitive fps scene.

This. It's not for me.

I'm definitely not interested in a sub 27", sub 1440p monitor no matter the features.

My dream monitor would be a ~27-30" 1440p 144Hz+ IPS G-SYNC but, and especially without backlight bleed. I would have gone for one of those ASUS/Acer 27" ones if it wasn't for that.

Interpolated frames like TV's, most tvs that also claim 120hz are interpolated , you can also find 500hz plasma tvs

nope, Sony is using native 200Hz LED panels for some years. Plasma Panels are different from LED Panels, Plasma TVs can go up to 2kHz nativ. THe disadvantage high power consumption of Plasma TVs.

at one time I thought who the hell can get 144 fps to justify a rog swift and I bought one

But who the hell gets 240 fps? hmm 1080p 1080 sli might work out, wonder how it would look like... but that monitor alone is asking for the highest grade components, that's gonna kill your wallet.

CS:GO on a GTX980 at low settings, which pretty much every pro plays at.
