Earlier this week, AOC introduced two new gaming monitors aimed specifically at Esports players. The Agon CU34G4Z and the Agon 25G4SXU boast refresh rates of 240 Hz and 310 Hz, respectively. However, Asus has launched a pair of competing monitors that exceed these specs significantly.
Refresh Rates and Resolutions
The ROG Strix XG32UCG utilizes a 32-inch Nano IPS display, offering a refresh rate of 320 Hz at 1080p resolution. Alternatively, it can reduce its refresh rate to 160 Hz, allowing for a 4K output. No matter the chosen resolution and refresh rate, this monitor keeps a fast 0.3 ms GtG response time, covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and provides brightness levels of 350 nits for SDR or 400 nits for HDR.
High-Speed Performance
In contrast, the ROG Strix XG248Q5G-P can achieve an impressive 610 Hz when overclocked, thanks to its 24.1-inch TN panel that runs at 1080p. Asus claims this monitor also offers 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, with an ultra-fast 0.1 ms response time and support for variable refresh rate technologies like AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync. As shown in the images below, both monitors are equipped with modern connectivity options such as HDMI 2.1 and USB Type-C with Power Delivery capabilities.
Pricing and Availability
The ROG Strix XG248Q5G-P is set to be released next month in China at a price of CNY 7,999 (approximately $1,097). In comparison, the ROG Strix XG32UCG will retail for CNY 3,999 (around $548), although the exact launch date remains uncertain for now. It is expected that these monitors will be available in other regions later this year, similar to the earlier release of the ROG Strix XG27UCDMG and ROG Swift PG27UCDM, which currently retails for $1,199 on Amazon. Asus has already made the ROG Strix XG32UCG available on its global website, where additional technical specifications can be found.
