Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the ROG Swift 500Hz, the world’s first 500 Hz refresh-rate Esports gaming monitor. The Swift 500Hz features a 24.1-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display that utilizes Esports-TN panel (E-TN) technology to produce 60% shorter response times than standard TN LCD displays, making it the fastest LCD display ever. To create this ground-breaking gaming panel ROG collaborated with AU Optronics (AUO), leveraging its exclusive AmLED technology. This empowers precise control over brightness, contrast, colours and refresh rate, all in real-time and based on displayed images — resulting in revolutionary performance.
The Swift 500Hz also includes Nvidia G-Sync, and the enhanced Esports Vibrance mode — specifically tuned for Esports — built directly into the monitor firmware. It allows more light to travel through the LCD crystals, giving colours new levels of vibrancy. With latency a crucial factor in esports gaming, the Swift 500Hz also includes Nvidia Reflex Analyzer, allowing gamers to measure latency with just a single click.

ROG Swift 500Hz - Pushing the limits
Asus ROG has always pushed the boundaries of display technology. A decade ago, Asus introduced the world’s first 144 Hz 1080p gaming monitor. In 2017, ROG introduced the first-ever Nvidia G-SYNC 240 Hz gaming monitor. And in 2020, ROG unleashed the first 360 Hz gaming monitor.
With reduced motion blur, improved visuals and lower input latency, the ROG Swift 500Hz is designed to give professional esports gamers an advantage in tournaments. One of these impressive features – the extraordinarily low latency – is made possible in part through a vital partnership with Nvidia.
