ASUS Also Shows PG258Q - a 24.5-in monitor with 240 Hz panel
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.

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.
I can honestly only see a use for that Hz value atm for CSGO/Quake/... players. Those games can output some insane framerates.
For anyone playing newer titles this is a tad pointless.
Not that I mind, the less latency the better, but it does seem pointless if you can't get a framerate that high.

"The monitor only works with DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4"
is this true? i looked up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort and it shows there that 1920x1080 240hz is supported in DisplayPort 1.2? i really want to buy this monitor when it releases.
if it wont work for my card should i get the ASUS ROG Swift PG248Q eSports Gaming Monitor - 24" FHD (1920x1080) 1ms, overclockable 180Hz, G-SYNC™ instead?
https://www.asus.com/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG258Q/
ROG Swift PG258Q has a wide selection of connectivity options including DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI. There are also two USB 3.0 ports for your mouse and keyboard.
Sounds like you should be fine.

Nice, looks like it should work with my pc, i only play CS:GO.
I get 299 fps all the time pretty much with all settings maxed with some fps drops here and there but it don't dip down very much.
