The centerpiece is a set of three 24.5-inch e-sports OLED monitors, led by the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace with a 720Hz vertical refresh rate. The other two, the ROG Strix OLED XG259QDPG Ace and XG259QDNS Ace, reach 560Hz and 360Hz respectively. The top model uses a tandem WOLED panel, while the others use Samsung Display's RGB stripe QD-OLED. All three are Full HD with DisplayPort 2.1 or 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 connectivity. The announcement also included two triple-mode LCD displays, the ROG Strix XG27UCMG and XG27ACNS, plus the ROG Gladius IV Ace and ROG Spatha X 65K mice, a Wi-Fi 8 router called the ROG Rapture GT-BN98, and a special edition graphics card themed after Capcom's Onimusha Way of the Sword. None of these products have confirmed release dates or prices for Japan, according to the sources.","whyItMatters":"The 720Hz refresh rate on the flagship OLED marks a step beyond the 540Hz ceiling that was common in competitive displays just a year prior, even as the majority of the newly announced hardware remains unconfirmed for the Japanese market.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eASUS JAPAN made the announcement on August 26, 2026, alongside the gamescom 2026 exhibition in Germany.
