ASUS has introduced a new line of esports-focused gaming monitors under its Ace collection at Gamescom 2026. The three displays are all built around 24.5-inch, high-refresh-rate OLED panels, a size the company has not previously used in its Ace lineup. The monitors are aimed at competitive players who need fast response times and clear motion during gameplay.
The flagship model, the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace, offers a 720Hz refresh rate, the highest among the new releases. It uses a Tandem 1080p WOLED panel with a peak brightness of up to 1,700 nits and supports Dolby Vision for enhanced HDR. ASUS also included a feature called the Position Sensor, which measures the monitor’s height and tilt and displays that information onscreen, helping players recreate their preferred settings when traveling.
Two additional models use QD-OLED panels with different refresh rates and pricing strategies. The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace runs at 560Hz and includes ASUS’ BlackShield film and an anti-glare coating, which the company says improves perceived black levels by up to 40 percent while making the panel harder. The ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace also uses the same film and coating but drops to a 360Hz refresh rate, a move ASUS says will allow it to sell that model at a more affordable price.
These three monitors follow the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, which ASUS first showed at Computex 2026. The company has previously sold high-quality OLED gaming monitors, including two 27-inch models introduced at CES earlier this year. The new Ace displays are the first in the collection to use a more portable 24.5-inch form factor.
ASUS announced that the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace and the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace will be available in early Q4, priced at $1,099 and $699, respectively. The company has not yet shared a release window or price for the ROG Strix OLED XG259QDNS Ace, its most affordable option. For U.S. gamers, the new sizes and refresh rates expand choices in the competitive monitor segment, though pricing for the entry-level model remains unclear.
