ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP 540 Hz gaming monitor and ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM
The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM is the first ROG 1440p OLED gaming monitor with a superfast 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time. It comes with an anti-glare micro-texture coating to reduce reflections for a better viewing experience in all lighting conditions, and it offers 1,000 nits peak brightness.
The thermal design of the cooling system has been greatly improved to help reduce burn-in. It has a custom heatsink and a new internal layout to improve cooling. Internal airflow has been optimized and the top air vents are larger for improved heat dissipation. Heat is dissipated more evenly across the rear of the monitor. The average temperature is 5% lower compared to other 27-inch OLED gaming monitors. Intelligent voltage optimization ensures consistent luminance for each pixel by controlling the amount of voltage applied to it. ROG worked closely with the panel maker to determine the correlation between OLED brightness, voltage level, and operational temperature. A smart algorithm coded for the panel optimizes voltage based on temperature changes to ensure consistent brightness across the panel.
The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM also comes with Uniform Brightness, which keeps the illuminance level even when white windows change dramatically. Plus, new DisplayWidget Center software makes it easy to use a mouse to change system functions and OLED settings via an intuitive interface.
The ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is the world's first 540 Hz gaming monitor. We reached this performance milestone thanks to the new esports TN (E-TN) technology, which offers 60% faster response times than standard TN panels, enabling superfast refresh rates and astounding clarity. It features a new stand design with retractable and locked claws to create a much smaller base footprint to free up more desktop space for pro gamers.
The 24.1-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) monitor with ultrafast 540 Hz (OC) refresh rate is designed for professional gamers and immersive gameplay. The G-SYNC processor includes a built-in NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer that captures end-to-end system latency to deliver the very best gaming experience. Additionally, the built-in ESS DAC provides surround sound, as well as gunshot and footstep enhancements that provide near-zero audio latency.

And here I was thinking 360Hz was unnecessary. 240Hz seems to be the upper practical limit, and even then, 144Hz seems to be sufficient in the vast majority of cases.

Yep +1 even more in OLED that does not suffer from the TN ips an even more ... VA smear and ghosting

diminishing returns means we will need much bigger jumps to notice a difference, skip all that 160-240-360hz nonsense, 500hz might be a worthwhile jump from 120hz, if not, 960hz for sure

Generally speaking I'd agree with you, but for this I don't think so.
The average human's response time is around 0.013 seconds
30Hz is 0.03 seconds
60Hz is 0.017 seconds
90Hz is 0.011 seconds, which is fast enough to accommodate the response time of the fastest humans, and is probably why VR headsets recommend this as the minimum.
144Hz is 0.007 seconds
240Hz is 0.004 seconds, and is the point where the average gamer will have a hard time seeing a noteworthy difference when playing normally (as opposed to aiming rapidly all over the screen)
360Hz is 0.0027 seconds
540Hz is 0.0019 seconds
Like with the Nyquist theorem, you want to double the frequency that meets your requirements to prevent any chance of sampling error. So, since 90Hz is typically enough to outpace the human response time, 180Hz is probably the fastest you ever need in order for the refresh rate to not hold you back.
Of course, there's more to human capabilities that we have to factor in, like the response time of the rest of the hardware or the fact that even at 540Hz i'm sure you could still perceive individual frames (at least in some situations, like a top-down shooter) but you have to draw the line somewhere. For me personally, that line is where there is no chance that my abilities will be compromised by frame rate. 144Hz is "close enough" to 180, so, that's what I'd pick as my upper limit if I cared enough (which I don't).

the OLED PG27AQDM is a winner
it's the down-sized version of the 42" panel w/all the same specs and features.
but it's not a "good" deal. the 42" lists @ $1,399 (if you can find it at that price) and the 27" is sure to be over $1000
still it would be one of the first OLEDs at that size, which is the best selling monitor size category
