ASUS Pilot Program: Experience ASUS/ROG products

[xiaodouya]

Hi xiaodouya,

Specs as follow:

ROG Swift PG27UQ - 3840x2160, 4K, G-SYNC HDR, DisplayHDR 1000
ROG Swift PG348Q - 3440x1440, UWQHD, G-SYNC

IMO, not practical to get monitors with 21:9 resolution if you intend to use it with a console.

yes, in that sense, it will be wise to use this opportunity to loan the PG27UQ then?

may i ask:
- what is the difference between asus AC86U and AC88U router other than its speed?
- i had been using my router for 2 years already. do u think i should change my router?

Can! But the PG27UQ is currently loaned out to another media for event use. I'll drop you a PM once the monitor is back, likely in the 2nd week of May.

Hi Tan Gee Ming,

The AC88U has 8 LAN ports as compared to 4 LAN ports on AC86U. Other than the slight different in WLAN speed. Instead of replacing, you can consider getting an AC86U or AC88U to form an AiMesh network for wider coverage.

AC86U is cheaper than AC88U, but the processor in AC86U is at 1.8ghz whereas AC88U is at 1.4ghz. does that mean that AC86U is better?

i just bought asus AC86U + 2 CAT8 cables from china. flying here to singapore.

Currently only 1 in SG, available at Fuwell. Unlikely that we will have sample for this.

I have had the luxury of loaning the ASUS ROG PG258Q Monitor for a few weeks. Setting up the monitor was a breeze and in matter of minutes, I was ready to game. I wanted to see if 240hz was a perceivable upgrade to my games over the current 144hz monitor that I use.

Coming from an IPS monitor - The first thing that I noticed was the colors that indeed seem alittle washed out much like most sites/reviews would have already mentioned so that was a given. I fired up some of the e-sport titles that I usually play, namely CS:GO and Overwatch and I am immediately able to notice how much clearer the motion became especially when there is alot of fast/hectic motion happening all around. Tracking targets was so much easier and at this point, the colors didn't really bother me anymore because of how everything in game felt so much more fluid.

This could be a placebo but I feel like I am able to perform better and hit shots that I normally wouldn't be able to with the this monitor. I would highly recommend this monitor for it's sleek looking 'borderless' design and if you mainly play competitive FPS titles. The high refresh is a game changer and you'd absolutely have to actually try one to believe it!

Thanks again to ASUS@SG for loaning the PG258Q for the trial- Upon returning to a 144hz monitor, I m already starting to miss the high refresh panel and the extremely fluid gaming experience that the PG258Q provided me with.
