Precision meets speed
The new ROG Strix XG248QSG Ace was developed for professional eSports requirements and sets new standards in terms of performance. The overclockable 610 Hz refresh rate ensures smooth, lag-free gaming scenes – a crucial prerequisite for precise aiming and lightning-fast reactions.
At the same time, the Super TN panel reduces input lag to just 0.8 ms, which according to ASUS is around 56 percent less than typical models in this class. Motion blur and ghosting are a thing of the past: The new Extreme Low Motion Blur 2 (ELMB 2) technology works with a dual backlight consisting of two LED strips and ten zones to ensure clear contours and stable brightness even in fast-paced gaming scenes. In combination with three times the maximum brightness of the previous generation and up to 65% more luminosity than comparable technologies, the monitor delivers razor-sharp, high-contrast images – even in bright environments.
Developed for real competition conditions
In addition to pure picture performance, the XG248QSG Ace scores with numerous gaming features that are specially designed for tournament environments. The particularly compact stand leaves more space for mouse and keyboard movements, and the advanced ergonomics allow precise adjustments in height, tilt and rotation.
An integrated AI assistant supports players during training, analyzes movement sequences and helps to improve reaction times – a function that sets new standards, especially in preparation for competitions. In addition, there are adjustable aspect ratios, HDR support and comprehensive color calibration options that cover both competitive gaming and streaming scenarios.
With its designation as the official monitor for the BLAST Counter-Strike 2 2025 tournament series, the XG248QSG Ace cements its position as a professional eSports solution and underscores ASUS ROG’s commitment to bringing technological excellence directly to the competitive scene.
Conclusion
The ASUS ROG Strix XG248QSG Ace is a milestone in the field of eSports displays. With a 610 Hz refresh rate, ultra-fast response time and innovative ELMB 2 technology, the gaming monitor delivers an unrivaled direct gaming experience. The monitor is now available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland – at a recommended retail price of 969.90 euros from specialist retailers and online retailers as well as in the ASUS webshop.
