ASUS Announces the ROG PG259QN Monitor: 1080p IPS, 360 Hz, 1 ms, G-SYNC
ASUS today announced the ROG PG259QN monitor, a 24,5" monitor featuring a blazing fast 360 Hz refresh rates paired with a 1 ms response time. Of course, driving that refresh rate means that the monitor itself only offers 1080p resolution - albeit it does so using an IPS panel. Color-accuracy isn't reported as of yet, though, so save your money, at least for now, if you're also looking at color-critical applications. But the defining purpose for this monitor is for it to be one of the best solutions for twitch gaming scenarios. According to an NVIDIA-led study, gamers with a 360 Hz monitor improved their K/D ratio by 4% compared to using a "mere" 240 Hz solution, so there's that. The addition of a G-Sync module, according to ASUS, allows the PG259QN to have the best smoothness of any gaming monitor, bar none.
The ROG PG259QN supports ASUS AURA Sync, slim bezels, tilt, pivot, height, and swivel adjustments. I/O is guaranteed by 1x DisplayPort 1.4 cable and 1x HDMI 2.0 port, alongside 1x 3.5 mm headset jack and 1x USB 3.0 pass-through port, as well. No word on pricing at time of writing.

Probably pricey af given subpar colors and viewing angles.
But your typical gamer NEEDS MOAR MEGAHURTZZZZZZZZ right?
It's IPS and news piece has been updated. Thankfully.
Sorry, you're right. Edited :roll:Probably IPS, seeing as the other 360hz ones are IPS too.
edit; its ips. sauce: www.asus.com/Monitors/ROG-Swift-360Hz-PG259QN/
It hasn't been "left in the closet", it's outright not supported, hasn't been since April 2019.
Thanks thanks to all mediocre so called pro players of those two pathetic games...
Put graphics setting to LOW ( you may see players at distance sooner than others ) stick at 1080p you can be faster man so your K/D ratio will raise dude yeah thats the right way.
I use 60hz still. Willing and want to upgrade to 120hz....but beyond that seems like wtf who wants or needs this unless you're one of those blokes wearing jerseys on gamer teams and your life revolves around it
Sooooooooooooo...........
Also, what more do you want. There are 4k120hz monitors, out there. Right now there’s no need for 4k240hz since current, flagship cards can’t even push 4k120.
