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).

HD resolution is not bad. 1440 is sexy and all, but people who want stable frames still have to stick with HD monitors.
I just wish there were cheaper HD monitors with 144hz panels.

This is pretty much a CS:GO monitor, as that's the only popular game where you can get 200FPS as a minimum (it runs with 300+ FPS here.)
So yeah. If you play CS:GO a lot, this makes sense.
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.

You better start contacting aliens to supply you with GPU to run games on 4k @ 144fps rock stable.
Yeah, also ask them for monitor.
