ASUS Strix Ace XG248QSG 24.1-inch Super TN Gaming Monitor Boasts up to 610 Hz (OC) Refresh Rate

ASUS has unveiled at Computex 2025 show its new ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG gaming monitor, featuring an impressive 24.1-inch Full HD (1080p) Super TN panel capable of reaching up to 610 Hz refresh rate in overclocked mode. Alongside its exceptional refresh rate, the XG248QSG delivers ultra-low input lag of just 0.8 ms that is 2.25x faster than its competitor (under 600 Hz) On the response time the monitor is capable of achieving a rapid 0.1 ms response time via ASUS's GameFast Technology. As we can clearly see this monitor is aimed at competitive gamers and esports pros putting speed and quick response first while still giving good visual quality.

The monitor uses ASUS's Extreme Low Motion Blur 2 (ELMB 2) technology, which reduce the motion blur while keeping brightness levels up to 65% higher than similar technologies from other brands (ASUS says). Moreover, despite using TN panel the display gives good color covering with 90% of the DCI-P3 range. The ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG also has some handy design features, like a base that's 30% smaller to save desk room and adjustable ergonomics. Exact pricing and availability are yet to be announced.

Also known as the “CS LAN special”. Unfortunately, BenQ Zowie already is the standard and I am not sure who Asus is targeting with that one.

Gamers.

Look most people here are "PC gamers" and they don't compete. They buy bling and then throw tantrums when companies don't bankrupt themselves for PC gaming. I've won money in LANs back in the day and even I can admit PC gaming is teh suxors of virgins. You bought a gaming board, lmao, ok incel. ASUS knows what it's doing and rapes these suckers into the ground and good on ASUS for that.

We've got 480hz+ OLED monitors now, ain't that better then TN in too many ways? Like better latency, infinity blacks, high contrast, better color reproduction?
I think this monitor segment of ASUS's was taking too long to announce this monitor. The monitor market has moved on.

Probably a monitor that was in development for too long.

What ASUS has failed at is implementing their own ELMB2 (which is a derivative of NVIDIA's ULMB2) on their 480Hz OLED PG27AQDP.

240Hz BFI (480Hz with black frames) would be ideal with the promised 65+% brightness.

Exactly. When IPS 480HZ with .5ms pixel response times are being done, TN panels are not justifiable.

Ooo, I currently have that monitor. I don't have interest in that feature. But I know there was a firmware update that fixed some bugs and corrected the out of box color matrix.

I have the LG version of that monitor and while the panel is beautiful, BFI would make the motion clearer, especially since it would still be 240Hz. Anyways its not a major nitpick as I would only use it for eSports stuff (same reason why I turn off adaptive sync sometimes).

To be honest ASUS did their versions of LGs monitors better with the dual-mode on the 32” 4K model and the corrected color issues as you mentioned on the 27” 1440p. LG never fixed the scaling for the 1080p 480Hz mode of mine which is annoying, since I know there is a corrected version with the ASUS variant, but at least the built-in speakers are really good.

Built in speakers. lol
I wish they wouldn't bother. And pass on the savings to consumers. But, hey, good for trouble shooting why ur main speakers, headphones, and headset isn't working. In my experience, built in speakers have always been tinny and can't be good because they're facing behind the monitor, not at you. Nor can they make them too big or have any bass because it would shake the screen yeah?
Supposedly they're super cheap to include. Monitor manufactures probably bought the speakers in bulk to last decades for future models.

The "Pixel Sound" (LG marketing) speakers that the 32GS95UE-B comes with are actually good. They're the same speakers taken from their TVs. Another (and rare) example of good speakers on a PC monitor would be on BenQ's Mobiuz line. They're not as good as a separate sound system, but I don't want to waste desk space for a DAC/AV receiver and studio monitor setup.

You may be confusing it with the slightly cheaper 32GS95UV-W, which does have tinny low-end tweeters.

I was commenting in general about monitors' speakers. Because there's like 3,001 monitor models out there on the market and just a handful have some decent speakers.
And as reviewers will commonly say about the speakers "it's better then having nothing at all for sound."
