ASUS ROG announces new Strix XG HDR Monitor<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS, CES (JANUARY 6, 2019)\u2014 ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today is excited to introduce the new Strix XG HDR gaming monitor lineup, a trio of FreeSync2 HDR monitors built for high-refresh rate and stutter-free gaming, and available in up to 4K resolution or 144Hz refresh rate in big-screen, super ultra-wide and curved formats.<\/p>\n

KEY POINTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Strix XG438Q: The world\u2019s biggest and fastest 4K Freesync 2 HDR gaming monitor, 43\u201d 4K 3840 x 2160 native resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 90% DCI-P3 coverage, VESA DisplayHDR 600 compliant, ASUS GameFast Input technology, PiP and PbP modes <\/p>\n

\u2022 Strix XG49VQ: 49\u201d super ultra-wide 32:9 3840 x 1080 native resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 90% DCI-P3 coverage, VESA DisplayHDR 400 compliant, view up to 3 sources at the same time<\/p>\n

\u2022 Strix XG32VQR: 32\u201d 2560 x 1440 native resolution with 1800R curve, 144Hz refresh rate, 94% DCI-P3 coverage, VESA DisplayHDR 400 compliant<\/p>\n

\u2022 All feature: FreeSync2 HDR for stutter-free, low latency gameplay with better brightness and contrast, T\u00dcV Rheinland Eye Comfort Certification for flicker-free operation and low blue light output, ASUS Shadow Boost technology to improve viewing in dark areas, exclusive GamePlus hotkeys and GameVisual presets<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s game time<\/strong><\/p>\n

AMD\u2019s first-generation FreeSync introduced a variable refresh rate capability that eliminated the screen tearing and stuttering artifacts caused by turning v-sync off or on. Compatible monitors could match their refresh to the graphics card\u2019s frame rate within a pre-defined range. Below the lower threshold of that range, however, v-sync kicked back in and caused judder.<\/p>\n

FreeSync 2 HDR delivers smoother gameplay below the variable refresh range using a feature called Low Framerate Compensation. The LFC algorithm monitors performance and adaptively inserts frames to maintain fluid animation where v-sync would have caused choppy behavior. LFC is great to have, particularly at a demanding resolution like 4K. But a wide variable refresh range between 48 and 144Hz means most of the time gaming is spent in these ROG Strix XG monitors\u2019 sweet spot, taking advantage of AMD\u2019s FreeSync technology with Radeon RX graphics cards.<\/p>\n

The trio of ROG Strix XG monitors is also optimized to minimize input lag. This delay between an input and the signal\u2019s appearance on-screen can be a real problem on monitors and TVs that perform a lot of image processing in the background. Optimizing the display pipeline with ASUS GameFast Input Technology makes it so that gamers can see and react to on-screen actions milliseconds faster than their opponents. The trio of ROG Strix XG monitors benefit further from FreeSync 2 HDR support, which has HDR-enabled games tone map directly to the monitor\u2019s color space, eliminating an entire tone mapping step and its associated latency.<\/p>\n

All 3 Strix XG monitors have GamePlus Technology, an ASUS-exclusive feature that overlays in-game enhancements on top of the action. With the press of a hotkey, different types of crosshairs are available to improve aiming in first-person shooters that lack a reticle. Other options include a frame rate monitor, an in-game timer, and an alignment tool for multi-monitor setups.<\/p>\n

These are some big monitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, the XG438Q meets VESA\u2019s DisplayHDR 600 requirement and the XG49VQ and XG32VQR meet the DisplayHDR 400 specification. That means it delivers 10-bit image processing and up to 600 cd\/m\u00b2 peak luminance for great contrast that renders a beautiful HDR effect. <\/p>\n

With more and more games supporting HDR, some monitors have claimed support but actual HDR performance has greatly varied, with many failing to meet the VESA specifications. Effective local dimming plays an integral role in matching the VESA DisplayHDR standard\u2019s black level performance requirements. Instead of using the available modular backlights found in most monitors claiming HDR, ROG custom designed the backlights for all 3 ROG Strix XG models, ensuring the best HDR performance. Further, ROG tests each monitor\u2019s brightness at the factory before it\u2019s packaged to be shipped out. And 90% or better coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut quantifies the ROG Strix XG series\u2019 color output advantage.<\/p>\n

Whereas TVs tend to have shiny, reflective screens, the Strix XG series features anti-glare coatings to maximize the panel technology\u2019s inherent advantage. Even from up close, they have consistent uniformity from one side to the other.<\/p>\n

These gaming monitors won\u2019t strain eyes from that distance either. Forty-three inches is a lot of desktop real estate to take in from two or three feet away. But we optimized each display mode with ASUS Eyecare Technology for long-term usability and then had T\u00dcV Rheinland put the trio of ROG Strix XG monitors through its Eye Comfort Certification, ensuring low blue light output and flicker-free operation.<\/p>\n

With the 43\u201d Strix XG438Q, there\u2019s always the option to view multiple sources simultaneously. We support picture-in-picture mode, with a main screen and inset window, along with a picture-by-picture mode that divides the monitor in half. Three HDMI 2.0 inputs and a DisplayPort interface accommodate your PC and game consoles with connectivity to spare. Moreover, a pair of 10W speakers pumps out high-quality sound, no matter what devices you attach. The 49\u201d Strix XG49VQ allows for up to 3 content sources to be viewed simultaneously, and provides the same viewing area as two side-by-side 27\u201d monitors without a gap and bezels to get in the way.<\/p>\n

AVAILABILITY & PRICING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expect the XG49VQ and XG32VQ to be available end of January 2019. Expect the XG438Q to be available in spring 2019. <\/p>\n
