ASUS has expanded its display lineup with the introduction of two new ROG gaming monitors: the ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS gaming monitor is an ultrawide 34-inch curved display with Tandem QD-OLED panels, while the ROG Strix XG129C is a 12-inch secondary display for those who wants a dedicated panel for system monitoring. Availability and pricing details for both products will be announced at a later date, the company noted.

The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS features a 34-inch WQHD (3440 x 1440) 280Hz RGB Tandem QD-OLED panel with a 1800R curvature. Notably, the QD-OLED panel adopts RGB stripe sub-pixel layout for improved text clarity, while a layer of BlackShield Film helps lower the black levels to achieve better contrast (it’s also 2.5x more scratch-resistant so regular maintenance should be less likely to leave an unsightly mark on the panel).

The display is VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certified with 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, along with 10-bit color depth support. Its I/O consists of DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC (Display Stream Compression), HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 15W Power Delivery. ASUS has also introduced a more compact stand design for this monitor to free up additional desk space.

Alongside the ultrawide monitor is the ASUS ROG Strix XG129C, which sports a 12.3-inch IPS touchscreen panel with a 24:9 aspect ratio and 1920 x 720 resolution (a slightly cropped Full HD resolution, essentially). The company said it specifically settled at this aspect ratio as it β€œminimizes black bars along the top and bottom of the display” when compared to 32:9 portable screens, offering β€œmore generous vertical viewing area.” The display also features a built-in adjustable kickstand and tripod socket.

While it’s unlikely that this kind of display serves color-critical work, ASUS says this secondary display covers 125% of the sRGB and 90% of the DCI-P3 color space; as a bonus, the display comes bundled with a one-year subscription to AIDA64 Extreme with the display, allowing users to monitor system performance through dedicated ROG SensorPanel interfaces. Connectivity includes a USB-C port responsible for power, video, and data over a single cable, plus an additional USB-C port with 20W Power Delivery, and HDMI 1.2 support.
