ASUS has made its new ROG Swift PG258Q gaming monitor available, offering a 1920x1080 resolution and massive 240Hz refresh rate - for those, like me, who want to live on the bleeding edge.

The ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q is a 24.5-inch 1080p display that the company designed for eSports and super-fast games, especially those intense first-person shooters like CS:GO, Overwatch, and more.

ASUS has included NVIDIA's Ultra Low Motion Blur technology, which erases most of the motion blur - I have to use mine more to make judgment on that, which is coming very soon. ASUS includes a slick design, and its new Light Signature - something that provides light projection effects while you're gaming.

The company also includes some gaming-specific features on the ROG Swift PG258Q, including a crosshair overlay, an on-screen timer, a FPS counter, and a design alignment function. There's also 6 different preset display modes, with Racing, RTS/RPG, FPS, Scenery, Cinema, and sRGB.

For those who still use 3D Vision, ASUS has included support for 3D Vision 2 on the ROG Swift PG258Q display.
