Asus is stirring excitement in the tech world with their latest lineup of monitors, showcasing models that could potentially claim top spots in next year’s best gaming monitors list. Among the standout offerings is the ROG Strix XG32UCG, a versatile display that allows users to choose between 4K and 1080p resolutions depending on the gaming experience they desire. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for both competitive esports and immersive AAA gaming.

What caught my attention with the ROG Strix is its innovative design. While this isn't Asus' first foray into dual-mode monitors—having previously launched the ROG Swift PG32UCDP—the ROG Strix introduces significant improvements. Ditching OLED technology, it now features a Fast IPS panel, enhancing response time and color accuracy.

This next-generation monitor offers players the ability to toggle between a crisp 4K resolution at a swift 160Hz refresh rate or a lightning-fast 1080p at a staggering 360Hz. While these refresh rates are slightly less than those on the ROG Swift, it hints that the ROG Strix XG32UCG could be more wallet-friendly, although Asus has yet to disclose exact pricing and release dates for this exciting new entry.

The ROG Strix is designed to serve gamers who seamlessly switch between fast-paced esports and detailed single-player experiences. Remarkably, it supports the latest adaptive sync technologies, including FreeSync Premium and G-Sync, along with VESA VRR. Connectivity options abound with DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 ports, and even a 15-watt USB-C connection.

A notable highlight is the new ability to adjust the monitor settings with a mouse, eliminating the headache of navigating through cumbersome menus. Asus also promises an array of AI enhancements, such as Dynamic Crosshair and Dynamic Shadow Boost, further enriching gameplay.

In addition to this gaming marvel, there’s the ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV, which caters to creative professionals looking for top-tier performance. This 32-inch display boasts a stunning resolution of 6,016 x 3,384, which is claimed to provide up to 145% more onscreen workspace compared to standard 4K monitors of the same size. This enhanced resolution, combined with 98% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB color coverage, positions it as a formidable tool for graphic designers, video editors, and digital artists. It also aims for VESA’s DisplayHDR 600 certification, ensuring phenomenal image quality.

Enhanced with an anti-glare and low-reflection coating, this monitor maintains clarity without distractions. As for connectivity, it is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and a USB hub, making it a versatile companion for any workstation.

In total, Asus unveiled five additional monitors, but few can match the allure of the XG32UCG and the ProArt Display 6K. Among the newcomers is the ZenScreen MB169CK, a portable 15.6-inch 1080p IPS monitor with a detachable stand—perfect for users needing a secondary screen on the go. There are also several other ZenScreen models including a 32-inch UHD IPS and a 27-inch QHD panel, alongside two more 4K options in the ProArt lineup.

While details around pricing and availability remain under wraps, these exciting displays are set to make their official debut at CES 2025, promising to invigorate the gaming and creative communities in the months to follow.
