ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN

The ASUS ROG Swift PG259QN is great for gaming. It has low input lag, a quick response time, and a 360Hz refresh rate, resulting in an incredibly smooth and responsive experience. It has native G-SYNC support and FreeSync compatibility to reduce screen tearing. It isn't well-suited for gaming in the dark, though, as its IPS panel has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look grayish.
