Today, computer hardware is produced specifically for different purposes. While a monitor purchased for production stands out with its color accuracy, latency and refresh rate are critical for a monitor to be used for gaming. Asus ROG Swift has set the bar quite high with 500 Hz.
We call it a first because Asus, which introduced the world’s first 144 Hz monitor in 2012, introduced the world’s first gaming monitor with a 500 Hz refresh rate after 10 years.

“When we introduced the world’s first 144 Hz monitor in 2012, they told us that the human eye can only detect 60 frames per second.” said Gavin Tsai, Product Manager of ASUS Display. Today, 144 Hz and 240 Hz gaming monitors have become common and standard features in the market. The incredibly fast ROG Swift 500 takes technology to a whole new level.”
