ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces New Monitors at Gamescom 2026

As the world's No. 1 OLED gaming monitor brand, ROG further sharpens its competitive edge with the launch of the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, the ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace, and the XG259QDNS Ace. These three 24.5-inch Ace esports monitors are developed with direct input from professional players and expand the ROG OLED Esports monitor lineup, joining the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, which recently made its debut at Computex 2026.

Every Ace monitor shares the tools pros rely on to perform at their best, including integrated measurement scales on the tilt (-5°-+33°), swivel (±45°), and height (0-155 mm) adjustments to help players consistently reproduce their preferred setup; a Quick OSD menu that lets players easily tweak core settings before every game; and three Esports Color modes that provide tailored presets optimized for three different FPS gaming scenarios. Every Ace monitor also incorporates Gallium Nitride Field-Effect Transistor (GaNFET) technology in its power-supply design to optimize heat dissipation to protect the panel and help extend the OLED lifespan.
ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace monitor
With a blistering 720 Hz refresh rate, the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace is the new hero of the series and the fastest OLED monitor ever made. Its TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED panel features a 0.02 ms response time for exceptional motion clarity and delivers supersharp imagery with deep, inky blacks, even under bright arena lights. The exclusive Position Sensor feature takes precision setups to the next level: a built-in sensor measures the monitor's tilt, height, and swivel angles and displays them on-screen, so pro players can quickly and precisely dial in their exact preferred setup - even in the high-pressure environment of a live competition.

ROG is also proud to announce that the PG259QWS Ace has been selected as the official esports monitor of the 2026 PGL CS2 Major tournament, bringing the world's fastest OLED to the sport's biggest stage. "A stage this historic deserves a display to match," says Silviu Stroie, CEO of PGL. "The first OLED Major on the fastest OLED ever made - it's a new generation of competitive Counter-Strike." The new ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace will be available in early Q4 with MSRPs of US$1,099 and US$699, respectively.

The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace is a 560 Hz RGB QD-OLED panel featuring BlackShield Film and an anti-glare low-reflection coating that boosts perceived black levels by up to 40% and increases panel hardness by 2.5X. It delivers vivid, true-to-life color and glare-free visuals for fast-paced competitive play. Connectivity options include one DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), two HDMI 2.1, and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports for maximum compatibility.

ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace monitor
The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace combines the benefits of an RGB QD-OLED panel featuring BlackShield Film and an anti-glare low-reflection coating with an accessible 360 Hz refresh rate, enabling a wider base of players to enjoy Ace-grade esports visuals and pro-tuned setup tools. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) and two HDMI 2.1 ports.

ROG Strix XG27UCMG and XG27ACNS Triple Mode monitors
The ROG Strix XG27UCMG is the world's first 4K triple-mode gaming monitor. ROG Triple Mode technology allows gamers to enjoy different game genres with a single monitor. The 27-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) display enables 4K@240 Hz, QHD@400 Hz (OC), or FHD@488 Hz (OC) visuals - so players can prioritize pristine fidelity or blistering speed on demand.

A 95% DCI-P3 wide color gamut and VESA DisplayHDR 400 bring vibrant, lifelike colors and deep contrast, while ASUS Smart Pixel technology enhances every detail for sharper, more vibrant visuals - even at lower resolutions. In addition, a built-in KVM switch with hotkey enables effortless switching and management between two connected systems. The XG27UCMG offers a host of connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), HDMI 2.1, USB-C with 15-watt Power Delivery, and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. It includes ASUS DisplayWidget Center for auto firmware updates and easy export/import of monitor settings to any device, plus ROG Gaming AI technology with AI Visual, Dynamic Shadow Boost, and Dynamic Crosshair.

The ROG Strix XG27ACNS is a 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) triple-mode gaming monitor that offers QHD@475 Hz (OC), FHD@620 Hz, or HD@920 Hz for extreme high-refresh competitive play. Its Fast IPS panel with 0.3 ms (min) GTG response time further reduces ghosting for fluid gaming experiences, while a 95% DCI-P3 wide color gamut and VESA DisplayHDR 400 deliver vibrant, lifelike colors and deep contrast. The XG27ACNS features DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 15-watt Power Delivery. Like the aforementioned XG27UCMG, it features ASUS DisplayWidget Center and ROG Gaming AI technology with AI Visual, Dynamic Shadow Boost, and Dynamic Crosshair.

The 720Hz model (I ain’t typing that name out, Asus) is already confirmed as an official monitor for the Singapore Major, by the way. It seems we are finally getting away from the TN dominance in tournaments, not that 24 inch 1080p OLEDs are here.
