Product Information

While the ultrawide version has a sturdy design, this one focuses on the gaming vibes, with a large ROG STRIX logo on the top right corner of the display and some features going through on the right half. Tom's Hardware is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. Of course, this is not a cheap feature, therefore you won’t easily find it on a budget gaming display. It’s divided into seven submenus with plenty of choices for picture modes, image adjustment, gaming tools and lighting effects.

At the rear of the monitor, the ROG logo has RGB lighting that’s compatible AuraSync – or you can manually customize the colors via Aura RGB (six different colors and patterns).The native 240hz of this panel, which is the ideal number for competitive gamers, is another characteristic that may compete in this competition. Since the backlight responds slowly to changes in content, turning on HDR for workday tasks made many things like spreadsheets and written documents look washed out.
