The Taiwan-based manufacturer Asus is currently listing a new Republic Of Gamers monitor 360Hz e-sports model known as the ROG Strix XG259QNS. This model, indeed, appears to be a slightly slimmed-down sister model of the ROG Strix XG259QN. Additionally, it features a different stand design, distinguishing it further from its counterpart.
The new Asus 360Hz 1080p monitor features a 24.5-inch IPS panel which, notably, boasts a Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels). Furthermore, it impresses with a rapid 380 Hz refresh rate, and in addition, it offers DisplayHDR 400. Lastly, for seamless gaming, it provides a swift 1 ms response time (gray to gray).
The contrast ratio is 1000:1, the typical brightness is 400 cd/m², the color depth is 8-bit, the power requirement is around 14 watts, and the sRGB coverage is 110 percent. The new 1080p 360Hz monitor does without speakers, but not with GamePlus features such as a dynamic black stabilizer, a smart crosshair overlay, or an fps display. Thanks to ELMB-Sync, you can combine FreeSync Premium with an anti-blur tool.
The interfaces include two HDMI 2.0 inputs (Full HD at max. 240 Hz), a DisplayPort 1.4 (Full HD at max. 380 Hz), a USB 3.2 hub (Gen 1), and a headphone output. The 360 Hz Asus ROG Strix XG259QNS monitor also covers many ergonomic functions with tilt, rotation, height adjustment, pivot, VESA recording (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlighting.
Various screen settings can be easily made under Windows using the Asus DisplayWidget Center software.
