Technical details
Asus prepares first OLED monitor for esports — 24.5 inches and 540Hz refresh rate.
Ahead of the Computex 2026 exhibition, Asus showcased a new OLED monitor from the ROG Strix lineup for gamers. The company calls the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace «the world's first OLED monitor for esports».
Given that the monitor has a 24.5-inch diagonal, it can be said that Asus is targeting the classic esports format, rather than larger 26.5- and 27-inch OLED monitors for gamers that are already on the market.
Asus did not disclose all the device's characteristics. The description only mentions a screen refresh rate of 540 Hz, which is likely to be sufficient for most esports disciplines.
Context and background
More details are likely to be revealed during the Computex exhibition.
Apparently, the XG259QWPG Ace is a separate product, not a new variant of the previously announced ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W with a 26.5-inch diagonal and support for a 540 Hz refresh rate at 720p resolution.
Industry impact
The 24.5-inch OLED monitor is likely to become a good replacement for LCD monitors for esports athletes in various disciplines.
