ASUS unveils new ROG gaming monitors packed with up to 720Hz refresh rate, OLED panel

Asus-ROG-Swift-Gaming-monitors

At this year’s Gamescom, ASUS revealed three new gaming displays aimed at esports fans. The new lineup, part of the company’s Ace series, focuses on fast OLED screens that reduce blur and offer bright, accurate colors for quick-action games.

The top-tier model, the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, runs at 720Hz, making it the quickest of the bunch. It uses a 1080p WOLED panel with a peak brightness of 1,700 nits and works with Dolby Vision for sharper HDR visuals. A handy extra is the built-in Position Sensor, which tracks the screen’s angle and height. This info appears on the display, so gamers can easily reset their preferred viewing position after moving the monitor.

The other two monitors use QD-OLED panels. The new ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace offers a 560Hz refresh rate and comes with a special coating that ASUS says boosts dark tones by up to 40 percent while also protecting the screen from scratches. The cheaper version, the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace, drops down to a 360Hz refresh rate but keeps the same coating. ASUS hopes this lower speed will keep the price down for budget-conscious buyers.

All three screens are 24.5 inches in size, which makes them more travel-friendly than the larger models ASUS has put out before. The company first teased this series at Computex 2026 with the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace.

Pricing and availability are still limited. The ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace will hit stores in early Q4 for $1,099 (~Php68,000). The ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace will also arrive in early Q4, priced at $699 (~Php43,000). ASUS hasn’t announced a release date or cost for the entry-level XG259QDNS Ace yet.

Following a long break from solo adventures, two major new games in the Tomb Raider series were revealed at The Game Awards 2025.

Sei Crypto Wallet to come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi and The Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit that promotes the Sei network, have entered a global partnership that aims to promote mainstream blockchain adoption. From 2026, Xiaomi phones available outside mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a wallet and crypto discovery app developed by Sei Labs. This would definitely help increase the adoption of the network as Xiaomi is one of the biggest smartphone vendors in the world, just behind Samsung and Apple. Participating phones will be able to conduct peer-to-peer payments, explore Web3 products, and access decentralized applications without the need to download third-party apps. What’s more, Sei plans to implement stablecoin payments in over 20,000 Xiaomi stores, starting in Hong Kong and the European Union.
