- Asus showed its new ROG Strix XG259QWPG Ace, a 27‑inch OLED panel that can hit 540 Hz refresh.
The monitor was displayed at Computex 2026 and supports 1080p resolution with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 inputs. Asus did not release a launch date or price, but the hardware is positioned as a premium esports offering.
A 540 Hz panel reduces the time each frame is on screen, which can shave milliseconds off reaction windows in fast‑paced titles. For pros who already tune mouse DPI and monitor settings to the limit, the extra frames may translate into a marginal edge.
The claim that higher refresh automatically improves performance is overstated; at the cost of increased power draw and potential OLED burn‑in, the monitor will appeal mainly to a niche of competitive players willing to pay for every possible advantage.
