New Asus monitor leaks, has 380 Hz panel and new ‘AI gaming features
Nevertheless, the XG259QN appears to lack the Nvidia G-Sync Compatible certification.
Asus recently released an upgraded version of its high-speed 24.5-inch ROG Strix gaming monitor, as reported by DisplaySpecifications. The latest model, known as the Asus ROG Strix XG259QNS, comes with AI capabilities and other enhancements. While it bears a resemblance to its predecessor, the XG259QN, one notable difference is the absence of Nvidia G-Sync Compatible certification.
The Asus ROG Strix XG259QNS boasts a 24.5-inch 1080p gaming monitor featuring a maximum refresh rate of 380 Hz (OC) and an impressive 0.3 ms response time. Notable features also include DisplayHDR 400 and AMD FreeSync Premium support, as well as Asus Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync technology, wide viewing angles, and a 110% sRGB color gamut.
The features of the new XG259QNS may seem similar to the previous ROG Strix XG259QN, but there are some notable differences. The XG259QNS is equipped with AI technology, specifically the “ROG Gaming AI technology with Dynamic Shadow Boost and Dynamic Crosshair, Color Temperature Selection (4 modes), and GameFast Input,” as reported by DisplaySpecifications. This highlights the growing trend of AI integration in the tech industry, and it will be intriguing to observe if these enhancements prove to be significant once we have the opportunity to test an Asus AI-enhanced gaming monitor. Can it compete with the top gaming monitors on the market?
As of the current moment, the source indicates that the Asus ROG Strix XG259QNS does not possess the Nvidia G-Sync Compatible certification. Nevertheless, this could be unrelated to the enhanced gaming monitor’s capabilities and instead be attributed to the time Nvidia labs need to evaluate and approve new monitors according to the different G-Sync standards. It is advisable to wait for official confirmation on the G-Sync capabilities before acquiring this screen, especially if Nvidia GPU support features are sought after. It is important to note that the screen is not yet available for purchase.
The XG259QNS is equipped with a versatile stand that can be adjusted to suit your preferences. Additionally, it features a tripod socket for added convenience. In terms of connectivity, this monitor offers a generous selection of ports including a DP 1.4 port, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a USB 3.2 Type-A hub, and a headphone jack.
