ASUS Republic of Gamers is bringing two 24.5-inch OLED esports monitors to the Philippines: the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace at PHP 90,000 in December 2026, and the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace at PHP 55,000 in 2027. Both use a TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED panel with a 0.02ms grey-to-grey response time, and differ in refresh rate, DisplayPort version and one exclusive sensor.
Panel details
The panel uses two stacked light-emitting layers, which ROG rates at up to 31% higher brightness, 34% larger colour volume and up to 63% longer lifespan than a conventional WOLED. That is how it reaches 1700 nits peak brightness in HDR at 24.5 inches.
Colour is rated at 99.5% DCI-P3 with true 10-bit output and Delta E under 2, and the glossy TrueBlack coating is there to keep blacks deep under arena lighting. Because every pixel lights itself, there is no backlight blooming, so contrast stays even across the panel.

Built around the setup, not just the panel
Both monitors carry measurement scales on the stand and base, marked for tilt, swivel and height, so a player can rebuild the same position at a different venue. There’s Quick OSD that provides instant access to brightness, shadow boost and saturation, Hue Optimizer for six-axis hue and saturation tuning, and three Esports Color Modes include presets for CS2, PUBG and VALORANT.
The PG259QWS Ace adds a Position Sensor that shows tilt angles, height and monitor-to-user distance on screen, and it is the official monitor of the PGL CS2 Major Singapore 2026, which ROG describes as the first Counter-Strike Major played on OLED.
For connectivity, the 720Hz model needs DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 for its full 80Gbps of bandwidth, while the 540Hz model runs DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC.
Price and availability
The ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace lands in December 2026 at PHP 90,000, and the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace follows in 2027 at PHP 55,000. Both carry a three-year warranty that covers OLED burn-in, alongside OLED Care Pro and a GaNFET power supply with an advanced thermal design.
