Asus ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG Announced with a 24″ 610Hz Panel for Competitive Gaming
Today at a pre-Computex media day Asus announced their new ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG gaming monitor, aimed at professional and eports gamers. It’s a 24.1″ sized screen built around a so-called “Super TN” panel and offers a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a massive 610Hz refresh rate. It’s clearly aimed at a niche gaming market, for those who are still after a small sized screen and are focused almost entirely on speed, latency and refresh rate. This is a follow up to their ROG Swift Pro PG248QP which had “only” a 540Hz refresh rate and which we reviewed a while back.
Asus ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG Specs
The new screen is 24.1″ in size with a flat format, and it’s built around a “Super TN” Film panel. There’s a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 0.1ms G2G response time spec, 170/160 viewing angles and an extended colour gamut covering 90% DCI-P3. Further specs are still pending.
It’s actually a native 600Hz panel but Asus have included a small 10Hz overclock in order to offer something that little bit faster on paper than some competing 600Hz models that are appearing on the market. This is supported by adaptive-sync
Asus even specifically talk about the input lag of the monitor, saying that it offers a 0.8ms lag which is “2.25X faster than competing esports monitors” they say.
ELMB 2
This new monitor also supports Asus’ “Extreme Low Motion Blur 2” (ELMB 2) tech. ELMB 2 is a backlight strobing technique designed to tackle the blur that arises from sample-and-hold and this is a new take on their blur-crushing technique that uses new dual backlight technology to enhance blur reduction performance. With two strips of backlight LEDs and ten total backlight zones, the XG248QSG offers exceptional clarity for objects in motion, giving you better tracking of opponents in the heat of battle.
Previous implementations of the tech strobed the entire backlight at once, but monitors scan out row by row, creating a timing problem. The tech could create an optimal zone of clarity in the centre of the screen — which is, to be fair, where gamers focus most of their attention — but blur and strobe crosstalk might appear in other regions of the screen, particularly the upper right and lower right corners.
ELMB 2 addresses this problem with a multi-zone edge backlight. It allows for independent pulse control for each region of the display. The screen can time the backlight strobe for each segment of the display separately, ensuring low motion blur across the entire display. From the limited tests we were able to run in person at Computex, this seemed to work well, with basically the same visual performance across the entire screen area.
Thankfully Asus have also been focusing on the brightness of the screen when using ELMB 2 mode. The ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG offers 370 nits of brightness with ELMB 2 enabled at its recommended level three setting. They say “that’s roughly three times brighter than the first-generation tech, and 65% brighter than comparable solutions from our competitors.”
Designed with esports setups in mind
Asus have also reduced the footprint of its stand by 30% compared to the current ROG Strix XG Series stand design, ensuring that the stand doesn’t interfere with your mousing hand in the middle of the action.
A wide range of ergonomic adjustments, including an impressive 160mm height adjustment range and the ability to tilt the display backward a full 35°, let you position the display just where you need it.
