- The Asus ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is a 24” 1080p monitor targeted at professional esports gamers, with an extremely fast 540Hz refresh rate.
- It uses a custom “E-TN” panel that is about 50% faster than standard TN panels. Motion clarity and input lag are exceptional.
- Image quality is quite good for a TN thanks to solid contrast, wide gamut, and great factory calibration, but viewing angles are poor.
- At $900 it’s hard to recommend to most gamers. The similar BenQ XL2566K costs $600, which is more reasonable for top esports performers.
- The PG248QP offers a glimpse into the future with its industry-leading motion clarity. As prices hopefully fall over time, 500Hz+ monitors could become more mainstream.
- While not perfect, the PG248QP demonstrates the smoothness and responsiveness possible with cutting-edge display tech that will hopefully become more affordable. It’s an impressive showcase product for now.
