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).

And? Dont get your reply..
Va has great contrast, better angles then TN and can fake 240hz too..
The only bad thing or marketing is their smart insight and that sharpening bs. I dont use neither of those two on my ips foris.

The Eizo is probably decent, I never used it personally..
But this monitor (PG248Q) is clearly aimed at pro-gamers and I know most pro gamers didn't care for the Eizo. They generally don't care about TN vs VA/IPS/etc. They just want extremely low input lag and extremely high refresh rate. Most of them play with all the settings on low despite having decent graphics cards - to reduce on screen clutter. In fact some of them play in 4:3 still, BenQ's used to have a mode to switch their 16:9 to 4:3, I don't know if they still have it or not.

I'm not too surprised. I have a much easier time tracking things with 4:3/5:4 AR because everything is in the center of my vision.
Don't VA panels still have serious issues with response times? I can live with a little lag but, bad overshoot makes me feel sick.
As for this panel, I think higher refresh rates are a good thing regardless of if they can be pushed right now.

Most pro-gamers hated the Eizo panel. There were multiple CSGO reddit threads where progamers complained about the Eizo VA panels that were being used at lans.
It started a whole joke between Eizo sponsored players and ones who weren't.
