I just went eyes-on with the world’s fastest OLED gaming monitor — and motion blur is officially dead

I just went eyes-on with the world’s fastest OLED gaming monitor — and motion blur is officially dead

I have had the opportunity to test one of the fastest OLED gaming monitors on the market, the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS ACE. With a jaw-dropping 720Hz refresh rate, this monitor is a game changer for competitive players. The use of OLED technology, which replaces the flickering of IPS display technology, has drastically improved motion clarity.

This is achieved through a staggeringly low 0.02ms response time, preserving the smoothness of the picture so much so that even my fastest flick-shots didn't cause any smearing. The TrueBlack Glossy Tandem 1080p WOLED panel, featuring a 99.5% DCI-P3 color gamut, deep blacks, and high brightness, delivers vibrant colors and sharp details in every situation.

The Position Sensor feature, which provides real-time monitoring of the monitor's position, is another clever addition that allows gamers to optimize their setup without the stress of recreating exact angles. While this monitor may be overkill for casual players, it sets a new gold standard for competitive players looking for motion perfection.

For those who still want an OLED experience at a lower price, the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG is available at a more affordable $699.
