ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced today the ROG Swift 500Hz, the world’s first esports gaming monitor with a refresh rate of 500Hz. In terms of display technology, ASUS ROG has always been at the forefront. ASUS introduced the first 144 Hz 1080p gaming display a decade ago. The ROG G-SYNC 240 Hz gaming display was announced in 2017. ROG released the world’s first 360 Hz gaming monitor in 2020.
The Swift 500Hz has a 24.1-inch FHD (1920
x 1080) display that uses Esports-TN panel (E-TN) technologies to create
responsiveness that is 60% faster than regular TN LCD monitors, making it the
leading LCD screen ever. The Swift 500Hz monitor’s firmware has been updated to
include NVIDIA G-SYNC and an improved mode for esports called “Esports
Vibrance.” Both of these features are made to work best with esports. This then
lets more light pass through the LCD crystals, which makes the colors look more
vivid.

With latency being such an important

Valorant, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege.
