There’s not a ton of connectivity to be found on the PG259QNR, but then again, there doesn’t need to be. You’ll want to use the DisplayPort 1.4a interface to get the most out of this monitor, as the HDMI 2.0 port will limit the maximum refresh rate to “only” 240 Hz instead of the full 360 Hz. DisplayPort also enables G-Sync at 1 Hz through 360 Hz, which is the widest range I’ve seen on a monitor. Elsewhere, there are some aspects of the PG259QNR that require more consideration. For instance, this panel doesn’t have Asus’ Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) technology – it has Nvidia Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) technology instead, which only works at 144Hz or 240Hz without G-Sync. While ULMB at 240Hz delivers marginally sharper images than a synchronised 360Hz output without ULMB, the differences are small and competitive players will prize 360Hz speed and G-Sync over a bit of extra sharpness at 240Hz. The high-end features continue with a quoted 1ms response time, although the PG259QNR only achieves this level in its Extreme overdrive mode, where it’s hampered by excess overshoot. The PG259QNR delivers a response time of around 2ms in its conventional mode without any overshoot – and that’s easily good enough for competitive play. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. High-Hz isn't just for esports anymore. Though the highest Hz is still expensive and mainly of interest to bigger-budget users. Meta has been a major player in the new wave of virtual reality, and the Meta Quest 2 has been one of the most popular virtual reality headsets for several years. And while the Meta Quest 3 has been released, the Quest 2 still holds up when it comes to offering an immersive virtual experience. It has a super fast processor and a high resolution display. These keep the experience seamless and smooth, whether you’re playing virtual reality games or simply moving throughout the Metaverse. The PG259QNR delivered a colour temperature of 6418K and an average Delta E of 0.64. Both figures are decent, and help the screen render colours with consistency and accuracy. The PG259QNR rendered 99.3% of the sRGB colour gamut, so it will produce every colour required for mainstream and competitive gaming, but only 73% and 72% of the Adobe RGB and DCI-P3/HDR gamuts means it won’t be good enough to take on creative tasks in those colour spaces. This panel is fast, but it’s small and has only a 1080p resolution. Single-player games don’t tend to require the speed provided by the PG259QNR, and you’d be better off with one of the rival Alienware or Samsung panels, which are larger and more immersive.There’s no doubt about it: the Asus ROG Swift PG259QNR is the fastest gaming monitor on the planet, and the butter-smooth gameplay is paired with an impressive response time, build quality and underlying image quality.

I should compliment Toms Hardware for improved mainstream-writing description of how motion blur is reduced -- doubling Hz halves display motion blur, as an alternative to strobing. Yesterday's media used to dismiss high Hz, or was not familiar with the benefits of high Hz. We calibrated the monitor to see if we could improve its performance, but achieved few gains. Only the color accuracy was improved to 1.35, so calibrating the PG259QNR can lead to some gains.

The Asus ROG Swift PG259QNR is, on paper at least, the fastest gaming display in the world thanks to its incredible 360Hz refresh rate. Yes. It’s not for everyone, but the Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QNR absolutely raises the bar for competitive gaming monitors, and it does so while avoiding any major problems that might spoil the fun.

Naturally, there are also settings for adjusting brightness, contrast, and color, as well as options for shortcuts, lighting effects, and general monitor settings. Image quality Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. The 360Hz refresh rate might be brilliant, but there isn’t a world of difference between this display and 240Hz panels – and the latter refresh rate will easily sate mainstream gamers.You don’t have to be an international esports pro to want the best gaming experience possible, and when it comes to speed and smoothness, nothing delivers like the PG259QNR. If you’re an esports player then you’re going to be travelling to lots of events when the pandemic has eased. The PG259QNR is ideal for frequent travel thanks to its small, sturdy and adjustable frame. Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.
