ASUS today announced the ROG PG259QN monitor, a 24,5" monitor featuring a blazing fast 360 Hz refresh rates paired with a 1 ms response time. Of course, driving that refresh rate means that the monitor itself only offers 1080p resolution - and you can forget about color-accurate environments with its TN panel. However, that's not the intended purpose for the monitor; rater, the purpose is for it to be one of the best solutions for twitch gaming scenarios. According to an NVIDIA-led study, gamers with a 360 Hz monitor improved their K/D ratio by 4% compared to using a "mere" 240 Hz solution, so there's that. The addition of a G-Sync module, according to ASUS, allows the PG259QN to have the best smoothness of any gaming monitor, bar none.

Interestingly, the monitor also supports NVIDIA's 3D Vision, meaning that users with an NVIDIA graphics card and 3D glasses can enjoy a 3D presentation of compatible games and content. This is a tech that has been left in the closet for some time now, so it's interesting to note its presence, Whether or not this means an eventual comeback of the 3D realm to displays is anyone's guess - but considering adoption of previous generations of the technology, I'd wager a resounding "no". The ROG PG259QN supports ASUS AURA Sync, slim bezels, tilt, pivot, height, and swivel adjustments. I/O is guaranteed by 1x DisplayPort 1.4 cable and 1x HDMI 2.0 port, alongside 1x 3.5 mm headset jack and 1x USB 3.0 pass-through port, as well. No word on pricing at time of writing.
