ROG Strix XG248QSG Ace: World’s Fastest Gaming Monitor
The first monitor in the ROG Ace esports collection, the ROG Strix XG248QSG Ace is designed for pro esports and FPS players who demand exceptional responsiveness and performance. Featuring a 24.1-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Super TN panel with an astounding 610Hz (OC) refresh rate and 0.1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, the XG248QSG Ace delivers incredibly smooth gameplay. Cutting-edge Super TN panel technology helps achieve exceptionally low input lag of just 0.8ms — 56% lower than competing 600Hz monitors. The panel also features 90% DCI-P3 gamut, unlike standard TN panels with limited color gamut. These advanced features allow professional gamers to see and react faster than their opponents, offering a decisive competitive edge.
Built-in ROG Extreme Low Motion Blur 2 technology (ELMB 2) enables the monitor to deliver next-level motion clarity by reducing blur and providing brightness levels up to 65% higher than other blur-reduction technologies, further enhancing image quality. In addition, the XG248QSG features multiple Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technologies, including G-SYNC®, and FreeSync™ Premium, ensuring tear-and stutter-free gameplay experiences across various platforms.
The compact stand of the XG248QSG is about 30% smaller than the current XG series design, freeing up valuable desk space. The stand also offers 160mm height adjustment, +45° to -45° swivel, and a wide tilt range of -5° to +35°, allowing gamers to customize their setup for maximum comfort and precision.
