As the presenter of visual contents, monitor of course has
an important role, particularly in the gaming context. Why? Because no matter
how well the graphics card in the PC will be useless when the tearing problem
arises due to screen's refresh rate that's not fast enough to display contents
in high fps.
Therefore, the technology such as Nvidia G-Sync plays an
important role in the development of modern monitors. Nevertheless, this kind
of technology is also useless if there is no monitor manufacturer that's
willing to embed its compatibility. So far there are pretty much monitors with
G-Sync standard, but these duo gaming monitors from Asus deserve to get more
attention thanks to their features.
The first monitor is the Asus ROG Swift PG279Q. This monitor
is equipped with IPS panel at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, with a
viewing angle of about 178 degrees. But the ability that will make you amaze is
its refresh rate that could reach 165 Hz, ensuring all contents presented will
look smooth while maximizing its responsiveness. As a bonus, there is a Turbo
button to change the refresh rate levels with ease.
The second monitor is Asus ROG PG27AQ. It still uses IPS
panel technology and measuring 27 inch, however this monitor has brought a
resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, aka 4K. Because it is packing 4K panel, its
refresh rate only stands at 60 Hz. Asus explains that this monitor is ideal not
just for gaming, but also for photo and video editing, or other content
creation process due to its excellent color reproduction.
Besides carrying G-Sync technology that's compatible with
the majority of the Nvidia GPUs, both of monitors are also equipped with
GameVisual feature. Simply put, this feature allows the users to add overlay on
the top of game that's played - could be in the form of custom viewfinder, fps
counter or just ordinary timer.
Asus also equips both of them with Ultra-Low Blue Light
technology which is designed to cut as much as blue light emissions so that the
risk of eye fatigue can be minimized. About the connectivity, both of monitors
bring DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, two USB 3.0 ports and a headphone jack. 2
watts speakers are also presented to facilitate users who need standard audio
output.
Both of them will be available in next November. So far
there is no information about the prices of these monitors, but it's likely
they will be offered in high prices due to the complete features they bring.
