ASUS PG248Q will be a 180 Hz Full HD monitor

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).

Full Hd is history now. I prefer 4k/2k 60 hz over Full HD 180 hz.

yes because your ATI 7850 OC can run all games just fine at those res.

wonder if normal eyes can see the difference
my eyes cant see the difference from 120hz vs 144hz
wonder if I can see the difference between 120hz & 180hz.. as there is quite gap

also if combining with FPS.. reaching 180fps is another step, I guess that the reason why asus keep it on HD rather UHD

many things in tech, is like from awesome feature that really have improvement to >>> marketing gimmick that people no longer can really get the benefit

Yes they are overdoing it with marketing here. They compete each other with the spec sheet (bigger = better). We still do not have single GPUs which can handle 4k @ 60 with maxed out graphics. Newer games are always more demanding than older. Let alone hitting 180hz. Except if you are playing LoL and the likes and still you can't tell the difference between 120hz and 180hz. I couldn't tell any difference between 120 and 140 fps on my PG278Q. It's clear those monitors are a niche towards gamers with huge pockets for multi GPUs configurations and the monitor itself. Personally I would be happy with 1080p 60 OLED 60hz and 4K OLED 60hz monitors with sensible prices. Guess I gotta wait some years.

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.
