Esports frame chasers just got a 420 Hz side quest. ASUS has added the ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace to its lineup. A Fast IPS screen measuring 24.5 inches pushes 1920 x 1080 pixels at an overclocked 420 Hz, while pixel response lands at 1 ms GtG or 0.3 ms in select conditions. Buyers get black or white through model XG259QNSR-W.
Motion clarity gets the big-brain treatment through ELMB Sync, which pairs adaptive refresh with blur-cutting backlight strobing rather than forcing a choice. VESA DisplayHDR 400 and 90% DCI-P3 coverage add brighter HDR output, broader color, and wider IPS viewing angles, making this less of a washed-out speed-only panel.
Port selection brings one DisplayPort 1.4 socket, dual HDMI 2.1 TMDS connections, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and two 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A slots. The smaller base pivots and swivels, with height and tilt controls keeping extra room for keyboards positioned near the desk edge. Pricing and regional rollout remain in ASUS limbo.
