This allows for unrivalled performance with the highest GPU boost clock. What’s more, this card features an incredibly bold and modern design, perfect for the most advanced gaming builds.
If you’ve been looking for a super-ultra-wide OLED gaming monitor, your wait is over. The ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD monitor, a 49-inch super-ultrawide (5120 x 1440) gaming monitor, feautres an 1800R QD-OLED panel with 144 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time for immersive gaming experiences. To ensure QD-OLED longevity and better performance, it includes a custom heatsink and graphene film, the thinnest yet strongest nanomaterial in the world, behind the whole QD-OLED panel, for better heat dissipation to reduce the risk of burn-in and boost the peak brightness up to 1000 nits. The monitor offers a range of connectivity including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and a USB-C port with 90 W power delivery.

The monitor offers versatile connectivity with a DisplayPort 1.4 port, two HDMI 2.0 ports, two USB 3.2 ports, and a headphone jack, catering to various device connections.
For gamers seeking the ultimate in image clarity, ROG and NVIDIA have introduced G-SYNC Ultra Low Motion Blur 2 (ULMB 2) to the ROG Swift 360 Hz PG27AQN with a firmware update. With over 1000 Hz of effective motion clarity, ULMB 2 offers the best motion blur reduction for competitive gamers available today. To do this, ULMB 2 ensures that each pixel shows the right color at the right time to help get rid of the blurry look gamers sometimes face when objects are moving fast on their screen. ULMB 2 turns the screen’s backlight on and off at a high frequency to handle these scenarios. Furthermore, in instances where the backlight turns on when pixels are still changing colors, this sometimes doubles images and creates unwanted visuals in other monitors. To avoid this, ULMB 2 uses a special technique called Vertical Dependent Overdrive to ensure that the backlight only turns on when all the pixels are showing the right color. This results in clearer pictures and visuals even when scenes and objects are moving fast. It also delivers full refresh rate backlight strobing, nearly 2X-higher brightness than the original ULMB, and zero crosstalk/double images. ROG Swift 360 Hz PG27AQN users can enjoy ULMB 2 now by installing the new firmware.
Another standout product at Computex 2023 is the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless, ROG’s first 96% gaming keyboard with hot-swappable switches, featuring the all-new ROG NX Snow mechanical switches, unique dampening foam with integrated switch-dampening pads, tri-mode connection with ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, and the ROG Omni Receiver. The ROG Omni Receiver allows users to connect their compatible mouse and keyboard via a single dongle, all without compromising performance. Also new in the Scope II series are the ROG Strix Scope II 100% keyboard, also featuring the new ROG NX Snow switches, and ROG Strix Scope II RX, featuring IP57 water and dust resistance and ROG RX optical switches.
We’re also showcasing other new products for the ROG Ace esports collection, a peripheral lineup dedicated to delivering the best performance for esports gaming. A Moonlight White version of the ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition is added to the midst, and now also supports the ROG Omni Receiver. Additionally, we’re introducing two new mouse pads to the lineup: the ROG Moonstone Ace L, a large sized mouse pad featuring a tempered glass surface for ultra-fast glides, and the ROG Hone Ace XXL, which is an extended, table-sized version of the ROG Hone Ace Aim Lab Edition launched earlier this year, with an extra-soft, anti-slip polyurethane base.

Making sustainability a priority
We’re fully committed to sustainability, and we continuously search for innovative methods to decrease our environmental footprint and achieve a net-zero impact. This approach revolves around four main principles: climate action, circular economy, responsible manufacturing, and value creation. We continuously leverage our technological expertise, data-driven methodology, and human-centric approach to develop a net-zero enterprise that supports a circular economy and a responsible supply chain that creates shared value for all. By 2035, we aim to have 100% renewable energy use across all our global operations and achieve net zero by 2050. Additionally, throughout 2022 ASUS laptops exceeded ENERGY STAR® efficiency standards by an average of 34%, and ASUS was listed in the 2023 Corporate Knights Clean200 Index.
To further our net-zero roadmap, we’ve expanded our range of eco-friendly products, including the world’s first commercial carbon footprint and carbon-neutral laptop, the ExpertBook B9 (B9400), and the world’s slimmest OLED laptop, the Zenbook S 13 OLED (UX5304), which is also carbon neutral. These products incorporate multiple environmentally friendly materials, such as post-consumer recycled plastic, post-industrial recycled metal, FSC™ Mix-certified packaging, and use nature-based carbon credits to offset residual emissions. The company verifies all this with SGS, a world leader in verification, inspection, and testing.
For Computex 2023, we have unveiled our latest initiative towards a net zero roadmap with the introduction of a carbon offset service. ASUS Carbon Partner Services enable commercial customers to offset carbon emissions associated with their ASUS products. The service provides an end-to-end delivery service, with reliable quality, accountability, assurance, transparency, flexibility, and competitive pricing. Initially, the service will focus on commercial notebooks and desktops, starting with the ExpertBook B9 OLED (B9403) and D9 Series (D900MDR and D900SDR).
