Asus has announced a new ultra-fast monitor today at Computex 2022. The new 500Hz monitor was actually unveiled by Nvidia during its show keynote. The Asus ROG Swift 500Hz gaming monitor is its name, and it’s the first monitor to reach the staggering 500Hz refresh rate.
Naturally, this can only be achieved through the tried-and-true TN panel technology. Nvidia claims this is a new form of TN it’s calling E-TN (esports TN). TN is a very mature tech, which makes it relatively cheap. It doesn’t have the best colour accuracy, vibrancy or view angles, but it can consistently be driven to produce ultra-low latency and high refresh rates.
The ROG Swift 500Hz, unsurprisingly, only comes in 24″ running at 1080p. It’s mainly designed for esports players and competitive gamers. This typically means the resolution is low to make it possible for games to reach those high framerates.
