These latest releases showcase cutting-edge features tailored to gamers, content creators, and professionals.
ROG Strix XG32UCG: A gamerโs delight
At the heart of this announcement is the ROG Strix XG32UCG, a 31.5-inch IPS gaming monitor offering a unique dual-mode feature.

The XG32UCG also supports FreeSync Premium for AMD graphics cards and G-Sync for Nvidia, ensuring smooth visuals without screen tearing. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and a USB-C port with 15W Power Delivery. Gamers seeking high performance and versatility will find this monitor a compelling choice.
ProArt monitors for creators
For creative professionals, Asus has introduced its flagship ProArt Display PA32QCV, a 32-inch 6K monitor with a resolution of 6016×3384 and a pixel density of 216 PPI.
