The video provides an on-site look at ASUS monitors announced for Computex 2015, highlighting a 34-inch curved display with 3440x1440 resolution that supports G-Sync and a separate lineup featuring flat panels with FreeSync. The presenter notes the curved monitor uses IPS technology with a slim bezel, a curved silhouette, and an aluminum chassis, complemented by a small desk projection of the ROG logo from the bottom light and a back ROG emblem. On-screen controls reside on the far right back edge, accessible via a joystick-style control pad and multiple buttons, offering features like turbo hotkeys, crosshair overlays, auto-adjust, and rapid refresh-rate adjustments. Latency is stated to be around 5 milliseconds, aligning with expectations for premium gaming displays of this complexity, though the host suggests a deeper hands-on review would be ideal once a full test unit is available. The host also references two additional monitors in the lineup, the MG278Q and MG279Q, noting their panel types and response times, and teases more coverage and a future review, while inviting viewer engagement on which model they'd pick. The video concludes with acknowledgments to MSI for sponsorship and a plug for Linda.com, urging viewers to subscribe for more Computex 2015 coverage and updates.
