I didn’t expect one of the main highlights of my time in and around Gamescom to be gaming monitors—I thought it might be handhelds or keyboards—but the presence of so many high refresh rate panels changed that pretty sharpish. Left, right, up, down, forwards and backwards: there they were, those incredibly snappy panels.
During an Asus event just before the Gamescom gates swung open, it seemed like the most attention was surrounding a new OLED, and I was drawn to this monitor too, but not because of its new tandem OLED tech nor its Glossy TrueBlack surface. I was primarily drawn to it because it can hit 540 Hz at 1440p.
