ASUS has set a new milestone in the field of high-end gaming monitors with the ROG Strix XG248Q5G-P. The monitor, which was presented for the first time at CES 2025, achieves a record-breaking refresh rate of 610 Hz – a figure that was considered utopian just a few years ago. The model is clearly aimed at ambitious e-athletes and anyone who wants to exploit even the smallest advantages in competitive gaming.
- Ultra-high refresh rate of 610 Hz on 24.1 inches
- Response time of just 0.1 milliseconds
- Fast IPS panel with FHD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels)
- Focus on professional e-sports use
Record-breaking refresh rate for maximum precision
With a refresh rate of 610 Hz, the ASUS ROG Strix XG248Q5G-P surpasses all previously known gaming monitors. While most high-end devices settle at 360 or 500 Hz, ASUS raises the bar even higher. The extremely high frequency reduces motion blur to an absolute minimum and ensures unprecedented clarity in fast-paced game scenes – an advantage that can make a real difference, especially in shooters such as CS2 or Valorant.
This performance is made possible by a specially adapted Fast IPS panel with Full HD resolution. This deliberate limitation to 1080p allows the monitor to achieve high refresh rates without noticeably compromising on image quality. The response time of just 0.1 ms (GTG) also underlines the claim of absolute performance. The color reproduction remains stable thanks to the IPS technology – even with fast camera movements.
Optimized for e-sports
ASUS has clearly positioned the XG248Q5G-P in the professional environment. The device was developed in collaboration with the DWG KIA e-sports team and tailored to tournament requirements. This means: no superfluous gimmicks, but a device uncompromisingly trimmed for performance. In addition to the picture quality, the design was also geared towards efficiency. The stand offers full ergonomics with height adjustment, pivot function and tilt and swivel capability.
In addition, the monitor supports technologies such as ASUS ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur), which provides additional sharpness during fast movements, as well as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) to avoid tearing effects. Thanks to DisplayHDR 400 certification, the monitor can also display content with an extended dynamic range – although this is more of an added bonus with a clear focus on competitive use.
Conclusion
With the ROG Strix XG248Q5G-P, ASUS is launching one of the fastest gaming monitors on the market – ideal for ambitious e-athletes and hardcore gamers for whom every millisecond counts. The combination of 610 Hz, 0.1 ms response time and a color-stable Fast IPS panel sets new standards. According to WCCFTech, the monitor will initially be launched in China for 7,999 yuan, or around 1,000 euros.
