Technical benefits: what it actually gives you

610 Hz: a new frame every 1.64 ms

At 240 Hz a new image arrives every 4.17 ms and at 280 Hz every 3.57 ms. At 610 Hz, every 1.64 ms. The return per hertz keeps shrinking, but the cumulative effect is real: between two frames the enemy covers less ground, so there's less to guess. The catch is that you need to actually hold 600 fps in game; in CS2 or Valorant with a strong GPU that's realistic, in anything heavier it isn't.

0.8 ms of input lag — and ASUS publishes it

Almost no manufacturer gives this figure: it's how long the monitor takes to start drawing what it receives, separate from hertz and pixel response. ASUS states 0.8 ms and claims that's 56% lower than other 600 Hz panels. Having the number on the table is rare and valuable, because it's the one link in the chain most spec sheets hide.

ELMB 2: strobing without losing so much brightness

Backlight strobing fights the blur your own eye creates while tracking an object, but it has always had a toll: the screen gets darker. ELMB 2 triples the brightness of the previous generation per ASUS, so the extreme-clarity mode stops being uncomfortable in a normally lit room.

How it performs by game type

Tactical shooters

Valorant · CS2
10/10

It's the fastest monitor in this comparison and it was built for exactly this: 1080p so the GPU can push hundreds of fps, a Super TN panel with no overshoot, and ELMB 2 for spray control. If you compete in CS2 or Valorant and your rig delivers 500-600 fps, nothing else on this list beats it.

Mechanical speed and precision

Rocket League
9/10

Rocket League comfortably runs past 400 fps on a decent PC, so here you can actually use a good chunk of those 610 Hz. The motion clarity helps read the ball's path. You give up the colour and contrast of an OLED, which in such a visual game you do miss.

High click-rate PvP

Minecraft
6/10

Wasted. Minecraft is rarely played chasing 600 fps and, if you do, it's on a stripped-back setup. 1080p on a 24-inch TN leaves the game looking fairly poor next to any OLED, and the premium isn't justified.

Mixed competitive play

Roblox
7/10

Roblox shooters are light and can reach very high fps, so you'd notice something. But paying this panel's price to play Roblox makes no sense: the same money buys a far better monitor for everything else.

Pros, cons and who it's for

Strengths

  • 610 Hz: the highest refresh rate in the whole comparison
  • ASUS publishes the input lag (0.8 ms), which almost nobody does
  • ELMB 2 with triple the brightness of the previous generation
  • 0.1 ms Super TN panel with no overshoot
  • Tripod thread and a small-footprint base: it frees up desk space

Weaknesses

  • Very expensive for a 24-inch 1080p panel
  • You need a real 500-600 fps to use it; below that it's too much monitor
  • TN: colour and viewing angles well behind an OLED
  • Only 19 Amazon reviews: it's a very recent launch

Ideal for: The tactical shooter player with a very strong PC who wants the absolute ceiling in fluidity and doesn't mind that it's a mediocre monitor outside the shooter.

Review summary

4.2 (19)

It has very few Amazon reviews (19 at the capture date), so its average rating doesn't say much yet. That's why this analysis leans on the spec sheet and on what ASUS publishes rather than on buyer experience.

It is not OLED but best in motion clarity!!

**10/10 esports monitor — ridiculously fast, smooth, and made for serious gaming** I really enjoyed this monitor and honestly think it deserves more attention. The ASUS ROG Strix Ace XG248QSG is an incredible esports-focused monitor, especially if you care about speed, smoothness, and motion clarity. This is not just a regular 1080p gaming monitor — it feels like it was built specifically for players who want every possible competitive advantage. The biggest highlight is how insanely smooth it feels. The refresh rate is on another level, and fast-paced games feel extremely responsive. Camera movement, tracking, flick shots, and quick reactions all feel more connected and immediate. If you pl

Good monitor for competitive gaming

Works as advertised. I'm running a 9800x3d for valorant , getting 700fps. It's much more clear than my Alienware 240hz as tested on blur busters.

Slightly Disappointed

Works very well as the tech reviewers/youtubers stated but paying this much money for a SINGLE dead pixel on a brand new monitor, and it’s close to the center of the screen too, is very frustrating to say the least
