ASUS PG248Q will be a 180 Hz Full HD monitor

It seems we are moving from 144 towards 180 Hz, and honestly, I have no idea why. But the ASUS PG248Q pushes it further, supporting an overclocked refresh rate of 180Hz and featuring Nvidia’s G-SYNC variable refresh rate technology.

This model is adopts the recent ‘ROG SWIFT’ styling, a series of gaming monitors of which this is a member as PC Monitors report:

Bezels are slender, although not remarkably so – unboundedly a limitation of the panel used which will have a moderate panel border to contend with. The stand appears to feature the ‘Light In Motion’ red ring. There is also a joystick (JOG button) for intuitive control of the OSD (On Screen Display) menu system. The stand is fully adjustable, with tilt, swivel, height and pivot adjustment.

It has a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, TN (Twisted Nematic) panel type and a medium matte anti-glare screen surface for effective glare handling. On this monitor it is overclocked to 180Hz and combined with G-SYNC (30 – 180Hz), eliminating stuttering and tearing from the traditional frame and refresh rate mismatches on compatible Nvidia GPUs. A flicker-free WLED backlight is used, yielding a 350 cd/m² typical maximum luminance and a range of ‘Ulta Low Blue Light’ settings feature.

The stand attaches by 100 x 100mm VESA, allowing it to be detached and an alternative VESA compatible stand or mount used. DP 1.2 (with G-SYNC), HDMI 1.4, 2 2 USB 3.0 ports and a 3.5mm earphone jack feature. The monitor is now slipping out in the UK with an SRP of £399 (which is roughly 479 EURO).

I would prefer this over a 4k monitor myself. Smoothness and reduced input lag is way more important to me than higher resolution... I don't see myself going for more than a 24" monitor, or atleast not yet.

Of course, I would need to have the fps to go with it.

240Hz or no GO!

Come on guys, I am sure there are screens and driver electronics which can do that perfectly synced with backlight strobe having proper intervals.

1080p is great resolution. It has fully sufficient details, this resolution is not that bandwidth heavy on cable standard side.
And it is not that heavy for GPUs to render at high frame rate if user wants that.

180hz. For the demanding gamer who likes to play 6 year old games and new games at the lowest possible settings.

What a sausage fest.

True that.
With the new games its hard to have a decent fps without some settings off or low.
@ 1080p TN panel & G-Sync the combination its not good.

Good bye 1080p & TN panels.
