ASUS has released its first gaming-focused soundbar, the ROG Gjallar, in the US market at a price of $600. The device features a 5.1.2-channel setup with Dolby Atmos support, a wireless 65W subwoofer, and a control hub with built-in microphones designed to enable headset-free multiplayer voice chat while filtering background noise.
Asus has released its first ROG-branded soundbar, the Gjallar, a 2.1.2 system that pairs a wireless 65W 6.5-inch subwoofer with an audio control hub featuring built-in beam-forming microphones. Priced at $600, the compact under-monitor unit delivers solid sound quality but comes wrapped in a boxy, heavily branded black design that reviewers found unremarkable.
Asus's new PG27UCWM monitor uses a tandem RGB Stripe OLED panel at 3840x2160 resolution, a conventional sub-pixel layout that finally solves the text-clarity issues that plagued earlier OLED monitor sub-pixel designs. Color coverage measures 94% DCI-P3 and 89% AdobeRGB, slightly behind top QD-OLED rivals, but the panel's contrast and color volume still place its image quality near the top tier, despite a highly reflective glossy finish that some viewers may dislike.
Asus' new 32-inch ROG Strix XG32UQWMS is a Tandem OLED gaming monitor delivering native 4K at 240Hz, with a frame rate boost mode pushing to 480Hz at 1080p. It supports Adaptive-Sync, DisplayHDR 500 True Black, and a wide DCI-P3+ color gamut, while dropping extras like RGB lighting and built-in speakers to keep costs down.
