ASUS Republic of Gamers has just launched its first 500Hz NVIDIA G-Sync monitor, the ROG Swift 500Hz. This 24-inch display's refresh rate has competitive gamers in mind (for those who play in 1080p). The screen has NVIDIA features like Reflex Analyzer for tracking latency and G-Sync to maintain clarity. It pushes that refresh rate with TN (twisted nematic) panel ASUS ROG calls "E-TN" (esports TN), which prioritizes speed over colour. Unfortunately, there is no pricing yet or release date yet.
