How to Choose Between Speed, Resolution, and Panel Type
Before jumping into specific ASUS gaming monitor deals, it helps to know what specs actually matter. Competitive gamers chasing every frame should prioritize refresh rate (240Hz and above) and response time, because these directly impact motion clarity and input feel. Resolution is the second big factor: 1080p is easier to drive at very high frame rates, while a 4K gaming monitor demands more GPU power but looks noticeably sharper in single‑player and cinematic titles. Panel type is the third piece. Fast IPS panels balance esports‑level speed with good color and viewing angles, while Super TN leans hardest into raw speed for serious competitors. OLED gaming monitor options push image quality and response times even further, with deep blacks and almost instant pixel transitions. Decide whether you care more about ranked performance, visual fidelity, or a flexible mix of both.
Under USD 150: Budget 240Hz ASUS TUF Fast IPS Options
If you want a 240Hz gaming monitor without blowing your budget, ASUS’s TUF line has two standout deals. The ASUS TUF Gaming VG249QM5A drops to USD 99.99 (approx. RM460), giving you a 24‑inch Fast IPS panel at 240Hz with a 0.30ms response time. It supports both FreeSync Premium and G‑SYNC Compatible, covers 99% sRGB, and offers dual HDMI 2.0 plus DisplayPort 1.4, making it a strong value pick for fast shooters and racers. Stepping up slightly in price, the ASUS TUF Gaming VG249QML5A is currently USD 149 (approx. RM685). This 23.8‑inch 1080p Fast IPS display also runs at 240Hz with a 0.3ms response time, supports G‑SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium, and adds a height‑adjustable stand plus ASUS DisplayWidget and Gaming AI features. Both are excellent entry points into high‑refresh competitive gaming.
Pure Esports Speed: ASUS ROG Strix Ace 610Hz for Competitive Players
For players who treat every ranked match like a tournament, the ASUS ROG Strix Ace pushes refresh rate to the extreme. This 24‑inch 1080p esports monitor uses a Super TN panel with a staggering 610Hz refresh rate and 0.1ms response time. That combination delivers some of the cleanest motion and fastest pixel transitions available, making it ideal for top‑tier FPS and arena shooters where micro‑adjustments and flick shots matter. Variable refresh rate support, low input lag, and DisplayHDR 400 round out its competitive feature set, while HDMI 2.1 ensures enough bandwidth for 1080p at ultra‑high frame rates on supported GPUs. Recently, its price dropped from USD 899 to USD 799 (approx. RM3,675), a notable esports monitor sale for such a specialized screen. This model is overkill for casual use but a compelling upgrade if you want every possible in‑game advantage.
Premium Flexibility: ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDP 4K/480Hz WOLED Dual Mode
If you want one display that handles both cinematic 4K and ultra‑fast esports, the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDP stands out. This 32‑inch WOLED gaming monitor supports Dual Mode operation: it can run as a 4K gaming monitor at 240Hz, or instantly switch to Full HD at 480Hz for competitive play. With a 0.03ms response time, G‑SYNC compatibility, and 99% DCI‑P3 coverage with true 10‑bit color, it combines elite motion performance with excellent HDR‑ready visuals and deep OLED contrast. A custom heatsink is included to help protect the panel, and USB‑C with 90W charging makes it practical for gaming laptops or single‑cable desk setups. The current deal drops it from USD 899.99 to USD 499.99 (approx. RM2,300), a 44% reduction and a very strong price for a high‑end OLED gaming monitor that can cover nearly every genre and playstyle in one screen.
New 4K Dual Mode ROG Strix and TUF Monitors for Future‑Proof Setups
Beyond today’s discounts, ASUS is expanding its lineup of 4K gaming monitors with upgraded Dual Mode technology across new ROG Strix and TUF models. The ROG Strix XG27UCGR (also known as XG27UCG Gen2) offers a 27‑inch 4K IPS panel with a 0.3ms response time and can switch between 4K at 162Hz and Full HD at 485Hz. The XG27UCSR (XG27UCS Gen2) delivers 4K at 160Hz or Full HD at 324Hz. For a more affordable option, the TUF Gaming VG27UQEL5A keeps the same 27‑inch 4K IPS format but runs 4K at 80Hz or Full HD at 310Hz. All three include ASUS Smart Pixel 4K upscaling and HDR support, while the ROG models add 10‑bit color depth and USB‑C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 15W power delivery. These flexible Dual Mode designs help future‑proof your setup for both high‑resolution and high‑refresh gaming.
