Add DisplaySpecifications as a preferred source on GoogleThe Asus ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace and Asus ROG Strix XG259QNSR-W Ace are the black and white colorways of one and the same monitor that has just been launched by Asus. It arrives with a tournament‑grade 420 Hz refresh rate (OC) and a minimum 0.3 ms response time, positioning it among the fastest IPS monitors currently available. The 24.5-inch Fast IPS display has an FHD resolution and is paired with AMD FreeSync Premium, NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible certifications, and ELMB Sync to maintain tear‑free, ghost‑free performance even as frame rates fluctuate. The Asus Variable Overdrive 2.0 further refines motion handling by dynamically adjusting overdrive levels in real time.
The Asus ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace covers 115% of sRGB and 90% of DCI‑P3, offering vibrant saturation and wide‑gamut accuracy. With a peak HDR brightness of 400 nits and HDR10 support, the monitor delivers enhanced highlight detail within the constraints of its LED‑backlit IPS architecture. The anti‑glare surface, 1000:1 contrast ratio and 16.7 million color reproduction round out its visual profile.
Asus integrates a suite of gaming‑centric enhancements, including GameVisual presets, Trace Free technology, Shadow Boost, multiple HDR modes, and GameFast Input. The monitors also feature extensive color controls such as eight color‑temperature modes, six‑axis adjustment, and gamma options ranging from 1.8 to 2.6. DisplayWidget Center provides streamlined software‑based access to all settings, eliminating reliance on physical OSD buttons.
AI‑powered tools elevate the experience further. AI Visual optimizes scenes dynamically, while Dynamic Crosshair adjusts aiming reticles in real time for improved target acquisition. Dynamic Shadow Boost enhances visibility in dark areas without washing out bright regions, giving players a tactical edge in low‑light environments.
The monitors include one DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR3), two HDMI 2.1 ports (TMDS), a USB hub with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type‑A ports and a Type-B port, and a headphone jack. Signal support spans up to 420 Hz over DisplayPort and up to 240 Hz over HDMI. The stand enables tilt from -5° to +20°, swivel ±45°, pivot ±90°, and height adjustment up to 160 mm. The stand's compact footprint saves desk space, while VESA 100 x 100 mm mounting and a 1/4" tripod socket expand placement options.
