ASUS Intros ROG Swift PG258Q Call of Duty - Black Ops 4 Edition

[btarunr]

ASUS today introduced a Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 co-branded variant of its ROG Swift PG258Q gaming monitor. This includes game branding on the front bezel, a Black Ops 4 logo projected below the monitor stand instead of the ASUS ROG logo (customizable), and the monitor's RGB LED embellishments glowing in Black Ops 4 shade of amber. The rest of this 25-inch monitor's feature-set remains unchanged: 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution, 240 Hz refresh-rate, a TN-panel, 1 ms (GTG) response time, 350 cd/m² maximum brightness, and support for NVIDIA G-Sync, along with ULMB (ultra low motion blur). Display inputs include DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI. Available now, the ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q Call of Duty - Black Ops 4 Edition is priced at USD $549.

Update: ASUS reached out to us that their product page for this monitor had inaccuracies related to resolution, panel type, and response-time. We have hence corrected them.

"2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, 240 Hz refresh-rate"

um nope, that is a 1920x1080 monitor.

Not sure how it can be a 240hz with a 5ms gtg. Too slow. Need to be under 4.3ms with proper processing

 

[madness777]

Wait 1440p 240Hz IPS? WHAT?

 

[Fatalfury]

wasnt it 240hz, 1080p ,TN this model??

Yes, The non-COD BO4 E

I think someone is confused over at Asus. They have this picture on the product page

You go to product specifications

Response Time : 5ms (Gray to Gray)

Probably 1080p/240hz+1440p 144/165hz.

Probably 1080p/240hz+1440p 144/165hz.

the PG258Q is a native 1080p 240 hz monitor. you dont magically get a higher resolution as an option.

There is ONE 1440p/240hz AOC TN monitor. Has a refresh rate of 144hz at 1440p, 240hz at 1080p.

I was about to say something like this. 5ms will not render 240hz. The best 5ms can theoretically do is 200hz and that assumes perfect optimization, which rarely happens. The best that panel is likely to actually display is 170hz. Now if it were 2ms or 3ms, then you're in with a chance to do 240hz.

LOL, WRONG SPECS!! 1080/240/TN https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG258Q/

Pretty funny flop - who even checked the specification page after editing?

 

[robb]

There is ONE 1440p/240hz AOC TN monitor. Has a refresh rate of 144hz at 1440p, 240hz at 1080p.

Then the monitor you are referring to has a native resolution of 1440p. The monitor here is a native 1080p screen...

Probably a copy-paste error...for the specs

Not on the part of btarunr, the ASUS website shows all the same info. Either someone at ASUS market messed up or ASUS is trying to pull a fast one. Monkey's diddling a football..
