by
Asus has announced a trio of HDMI 2.1-enabled game monitors that will be perfect for the latest consoles. Starting with the largest, the ROG Swift XG43UQ is a 43-inch 4K gaming monitor with a VA panel and a 144Hz refresh rate. This monitor offers the brightest image in the group, with 1000 nit peak brightness and covers 90% DCI-P3 of the color range.Best of all, the ROG Swift XG43UQ has two HDMI 2.1 ports so you can connect your Xbox Series X and PS5 to this monitor. You’ll also find a DisplayPort 1.4 port with Display Stream Compression (DSC), which essentially allows this monitor to deliver a 144 Hz 4K experience without going into chroma subsampling or any drop in visual quality. Sync to eliminate motion smudges and blurs, resulting in sharper-looking animation for more fluid and responsive gameplay.

Asus says the ROG Swift PG32UQ is the first 32-inch gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1 to take advantage of its 4K IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. Better yet, it has two HDMI 2.1 ports plus a DisplayPort 1.4 port with DSC.

The Asus ROG Swift PG32UQ also features a fantastically bright and vibrant panel that displays 98% DCI-P3 color space and achieves a peak brightness of 600 nit. It also comes with G-Sync and Reflex Latency Analyzer modules, so you get G-Sync based on real hardware and can measure how long it takes a mouse click to translate into on-screen action.

Finally, there is the Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A, a 28-inch 4K gaming monitor with an IPS panel, 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time. On this screen you also get 125% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 color coverage, 400 nits of maximum brightness, ELMB Sync and variable refresh rate technology.

Asus has not yet set prices for any of these monitors, but they will be released in the second quarter of 2021, so expect them to drop sometime between April and July.
