Overview
ASUS built this ROG Strix monitor around a Fast IPS panel with a dual mode hotkey that switches between sharp ultra HD and a very fast Full HD esports mode. ELMB Sync pairs motion blur reduction with variable refresh for clear, tear free motion.
Choose it for one screen that handles detailed ultra HD play and high speed competitive matches. The USB-C port carries video through DP Alt mode, but power delivery is not mentioned.
