While panels like the ROG SWIFT PG348Q achieve higher refresh rates through overclocking, the TN panel used for the PG258Q is capable of pushing 240Hz without extra tweaking. This is a 1080p panel

Pricing has yet to be annoucned and you won’t be able to pick one of these up in time for Christmas unfortunately. However, Asus is looking to bring these monitors to market in early 2017.

Does this mean the new gen of scalers are here and 4K120 is around the corner?

High Hz is important for VR and other applications (holographic tv?).

It's been said that we will keep noticing differences between reality and CGI until 16K/480Hz. As we become accustomed to one level of visual/motive fidelity the bar keeps raising.
