Asus has a 540Hz monitor that allows you to transfer its toes

It’s a 24.1-inch 1080p G-Sync panel that’s sadly saddled with TN display screen expertise, identified for its refresh charges slightly than viewing angles or extensive coloration gamut. But the monitor pulls a fairly cool trick: the stand helps you to pop out and in its toes to slot in narrower areas and lock them in place.

The different factor it has over the Alienware is a value: Asus rep Cat Tompkins tells The Verge it ought to price $899 USD.

It’s additionally obtained a built-in ESS Quad DAC with “near-zero audio latency,” presumably to pipe killer audio out of your PC to its 3.5mm headphone jack. Asus boasts that it really has “above 90% DCI-P3” when it comes to the colours it may well show. Its twin HDMI ports are HDMI 2.0 slightly than 2.1, which implies you most likely gained’t have variable refresh price in your recreation consoles, although you’ll most likely be utilizing DP 1.4 out of your PC to attain the excessive refresh charges anyhow. Like the Alienware and a few earlier displays, it comes with Nvidia’s Reflex Latency Analyzer.

I nonetheless suppose 500Hz displays are overkill for the explanations I laid out this morning: “the response time difference between a 360Hz panel and a 500Hz one is less than one-thousandth of a second — 0.78 milliseconds, to be exact — and only in games where your graphics card or chip can actually deliver 500 frames per second,” I wrote.

But if that’s precisely what you’re searching for, you’ll have a minimum of two choices this yr.
