ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the availability of the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, expanding its Ace esports monitor lineup with two new OLED options.

Developed with direct input from professional players, both 24.5-inch monitors feature a TrueBlack Glossy™ Tandem WOLED panel, delivering a 0.02ms (GTG) response time, up to 1,700 nits peak brightness, 99.5% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and true 10-bit color. These specifications set a new benchmark in the esports monitor category, which has been dominated by TN panels for decades.

Designed with competitive players in mind, the monitors also feature measurement scales on the stand and base, a Quick OSD menu, Hue Optimizer, and three Esports Color Modes to help players fine-tune their setups. The flagship PG259QWS Ace takes performance further with a 720Hz refresh rate, an exclusive Position Sensor, and DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20) connectivity. Meanwhile, the XG259QWPG Ace offers the same OLED esports experience with a 540Hz refresh rate.

Changing the Rules of the Game

For decades, TN panels have been the standard choice for competitive gaming, prioritizing raw speed at the expense of color, contrast, and viewing angles. With the Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, ROG—recognized as the world’s No. 1 OLED gaming monitor brand—aims to eliminate that compromise.

Self-lit OLED pixels switch almost instantly, delivering exceptional motion clarity without sacrificing brightness or relying on backlight strobing technology. Since every pixel generates its own light, the panels eliminate backlight blooming while maintaining consistent contrast, color, and black levels across the screen. This also reduces flicker, providing a more comfortable viewing experience compared with traditional LCD monitors.

The result is a new benchmark for esports professionals: faster, clearer, and more consistent visuals that help players spot more details, react faster, and perform at their full potential. Both monitors also feature Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) technology to further enhance motion clarity.

TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED: Clarity, Color, and Visibility

The 24.5-inch Full HD TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED panels powering the Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace use two stacked light-emitting layers. This design delivers up to 31% higher brightness, 34% greater color volume, and up to 63% longer lifespan compared with conventional WOLED panels.

With peak brightness reaching up to 1,700 nits and an ultra-fast 0.02ms GTG response time, every flick and peek remains razor-sharp. The combination of 99.5% DCI-P3 color gamut, true 10-bit color, and Delta E<2 color accuracy also helps make in-game targets stand out. Per-pixel contrast reveals opponents concealed in shadows, while the TrueBlack Glossy coating maintains deep blacks even under bright arena lighting.

To help protect the panel and extend its lifespan, the monitors incorporate OLED Care Pro with a Neo Proximity Sensor, alongside a GaNFET power-supply design and advanced thermal solution that keep the panel running cooler without compromising performance.

For added peace of mind during training and tournament play, both monitors come with a three-year warranty that includes coverage for OLED burn-in.

Designed for Pros

Developed with direct input from professional players, the ROG Ace series includes features that help competitors get into the game faster and recreate their preferred settings with precision:

• Measurement Scales on Stand and Base: Markings for tilt, swivel, and height allow players to accurately reproduce their preferred monitor setup wherever they compete.
• Quick OSD Menu: Provides instant access to essential display settings, including brightness, Shadow Boost, and saturation.
• Hue Optimizer: Offers six-axis hue and saturation adjustments to make important in-game colors stand out.
• Esports Color Modes: Includes three professionally tuned presets for different FPS scenarios, including game-specific settings optimized for popular first-person shooter titles such as CS2, PUBG, and VALORANT.

ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace: Ready for the Biggest Stage

The ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace combines a 720Hz refresh rate with a 0.02ms (GTG) response time to deliver competition-ready visuals.

Its exclusive Position Sensor displays the monitor’s tilt angle, height, and distance from the user directly on-screen, allowing players to precisely recreate their preferred setup at any venue. Meanwhile, DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20) provides the full 80Gbps bandwidth required to unlock the monitor’s complete 720Hz performance.

The PG259QWS Ace is also the official monitor of the PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026, marking the first Counter-Strike Major tournament to be played on OLED monitors.

ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace: OLED Esports Performance at 540Hz

The ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace features the same Tandem WOLED panel technology found in the Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, delivering an ultra-fast 0.02ms response time and a 540Hz refresh rate.

With its combination of OLED image quality and high-speed performance, the XG259QWPG Ace offers competitive players an accessible way to transition from TN panels to OLED esports gaming.
