The Asus ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is a high-performance gaming monitor with a massive 540Hz refresh rate, making it one of the fastest displays available. It features a TN panel, which sacrifices color quality and viewing angles for speed. The monitor offers excellent motion clarity and low input latency, outperforming other LCD panels in terms of response time. It also supports ULMB2 for even better motion clarity. However, the high price of $900 and limited availability of 540Hz content make it a niche product for professional esports gamers. The monitor's image quality is decent, with wide gamut support and good factory calibration, but viewing angles are poor. Overall, the PG248QP provides a glimpse into the future of high refresh rate displays but may not be worth the steep price for most gamers.
