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).

A lot of people in this thread that don't understand the basics of gaming and gaming hardware. 180Hz does not "require" 180fps, and 120Hz is not something your eyes cannot perceive (this bs needs to stop). A 180Hz monitor means your refreshes the image 180 times a second, and that means you'll get less time spent between the latest rendered frame and what is shown on your screen (less input-lag). This is very important in games like CS:GO where every ms counts. Everything above 120Hz is infinitely better than 60Hz even for desktop use.

Anyone playing fps games competitively (a lot of the guys playing cs:go have ****ty hardware than cannot run anything other than cs go on 100+fps).
Who cares about a few extra Hz, and 1080 tn!? Really should be putting their resources into developing 4K 120hz... Esp. So with cards like 1080ti and beyond around the corner. You'd think they would see the dollar signs... First to produce such a monitor= $$$$$$$$...

You better start contacting aliens to supply you with GPU to run games on 4k @ 144fps rock stable.
Yeah, also ask them for monitor.
Two 1080 will achieve that easily.Ya we will contact aliens when we need 480Hz at 8k resolution.

It's a TN panel. The 180 FPS I'd because they can, so why not when there's G-STYNC.
I'd rather a AMVA+ or IPS panel.

Idd, bring on the 4k 144hz monitors!
Where the hell is that 4k 144hz monitor Asus showed at computex? That's the only one that would make me upgrade.

You can repeat this till you're blue... zero impact believe me
It's amazing how something so simple as this eludes so many:
65-110 fps @180 refreshes/s >> 65-110fps @75Hz

Old wives tales die hard. I can recall for many years the battle cry on the forums was, "The human eye cannot see more than 60 fps." During this time frame, a local church was selling off all of their Sony FWB-900 24in CRT monitors. I stopped by, saw the gold mine, and bought all 20 of them. Sold them for $300 each on ebay, because the human eye can interpret many factors beyond 60 fps, and real competitive gamers know this.
Certainly the difference between 120hz and 144hz is noticeable(yes, I have tested it) in a gaming environment where your field of view is changing quickly. I this scenario, refresh rate has a much more dramatic impact than resolution, anti aliasing, etc. Detail is lost, but liquid smooth frame rates remain the most visible. As you move towards very slow moving games or desktop browsing, frame rates are not as discernible, yet resolution and other detail settings are a higher priority.

you guys need 180 fps for 180 hz..IF u getting only max to max 60 fps then no need to buy this monitor.

I'm just sitting over here with my Qnix 2414 144hz monitor overclocked to 182HZ. Unfortunately no lightboost, but still much better than 60hz. Honestly https://cen.acs.org/articles/94/i28/rise-OLED-displays.html A couple more hurdles left for OLED. We sure could use some LCD Quantum Dot gaming monitors now though couldn't we?

Well, this monitor is obviously made for twitch shooters such as csgo, tf2, the upcoming quake and such. Back in the day a lot of people used to run their CRTs at 800x600@160Hz.
However, there has been a 24" 1080p korean monitor called QNIX/X-Star that uses a benq panel and runs at 180Hz just fine. It costs 150usd so I see no reason to pay a premium price for branding and slick design. On top of it its latency should be even lower as it doesn't have a scaler or OSD. The only drawback is the lack of g-sync.

3440x1440 IPS 120-144Hz Gsync will do.

I think two 1080's should handle that dream monitor fairly well. Also by Christmas we should know the release date of 1080ti. Where there is no info at all about 4k @ 144hz screens.

Yet people call me nuts for buying a 1080p 27 inch monitor instead of a higher resolution :p
At least I'm running everything at solid framerates.
And I still prefer 1080p because of the ****ty upscaling of the GPUs that make everything blurry if you use a non-native resolution. 1080p on a 4K monitor, or 720p on a 1440p monitor should look super sharp, but it doesn't, since the upscaling implementation of both nvidia and amd is just plain idiotic. If they don't fix that, 1080p will be the way to go for years to come. Unless you want a blurry image, or stutter, or having to lower your graphics. I don't want any of that, so 1080p is king.
