In fact, ASUS and ASUS ROG have now been ranked as the top gaming-monitor brands in 18 different countries.

A decade of non-stop innovation in gaming display

ASUS ROG has more than 10 years’ experience developing world-leading gaming displays that both
delight and excite gamers globally. The brand has also introduced numerous game-changing innovations, including the 2012 launch of the world’s first gaming displays with a 144Hz refresh rate. Following this, the 144Hz refresh rate became the standard for every major esports event and tournament. Then, just two years later, ASUS ROG launched the world’s first gaming monitor with QHD resolution and G-SYNC™ technology.

This year ASUS ROG innovation has continued apace, with the introduction of displays boasting a range of world firsts. These include: ROG Swift PG258Q, the world’s first and most responsive gaming monitor to deliver a 240Hz refresh rate; ROG Swift PG27UQ, the world’s first 4K HDR monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate; and ROG Swift PG27VQ, the world’s most responsive curved monitor, with ASUS Aura Sync RGB light synchronization; and ROG Swift PG65, the giant 65-inch display for 4K HDR gaming at up to 120Hz. ROG also created a big buzz at CES 2018 with the announcement of the ROG Bezel-Free Kit, an innovative clip-on lens system that effectively hides the seams between multi-monitor setups to heighten the effect of panoramic immersion.
