Asus has been steadily expanding its ROG Swift range of monitors over the last couple of years, with a big focus on pushing higher refresh rates. However, shortly, Asus will be releading its highest refresh rate monitor ever- the ROG Swift PG258Q, which boasts a massive 240Hz native refresh rate.
While panels like the ROG SWIFT PG348Q achieve higher refresh rates through overclocking, the TN panel used for the PG258Q is capable of pushing 240Hz without extra tweaking. This is a 1080p panel, which makes sense given that right now the highest refresh rate we've seen on a commercial 1440p monitor is 165Hz. Whereas 1080p monitors have been able to break the 200Hz barrier.
This is a 24.5-inch display with a TN panel, which means colors won't pop quite as nicely as they would on an IPS screen. However, it does mean competitive gamers can enjoy the benefits of an ultra-high refresh rate coupled with 1ms gray to gray response time. Aside from that, the other big selling point for this monitor is G-Sync, which has featured in all ROG Swift monitors so far.
Pricing has yet to be annoucned and you won't be able to pick one of these up in time for Christmas unfortunately. However, Asus is looking to bring these monitors to market in early 2017.
KitGuru Says: I've been fortunate enough to own the original 1440p/144Hz ROG Swift monitor for some time now and I must admit, I would struggle to go back to gaming at 60Hz. I do wonder if the law of diminishing returns would come into effect once you start pushing past 200Hz. Either way, it will be interesting to see this monitor in action when it launches next year.
It was interesting until I read TN 1080P.
At real 240HZ there seems to be no point for G-sync or FreeSync.
There still is, because your GPU won’t always be capable of running such high FPS.
If the monitor is 240hz and i see in game 40 frames, the repeated frames are evenly spread out, so no, there is no point for a lower refresh rate scenario for a use of a g-sync.
If your GPU is producing 40 FPS, not all frames will be reproduced on the screen, even on a 240 Hz one. It will be better than on a 120Hz, but will still be worse than a G sync / freesync monitor.
Ah another item made just for people to buy to say they have one wheb it offers little to no benefit
4ms response time at 240hz/fps, 8ms at 120hz/fps 16ms at 60hz/fps and 33ms at 30hz/fps.. i guess that’s why 30fps looks so laggy.
Not touching 4K any time soon unless GPU’s are gonna get much more powerful, even then it’s stuck at 60hz.

Enjoy your screen tearing mess then. I would prefer my refresh rate actually matches my FPS so that there is no tearing.
yeah thats a shameful step back
