Quick FAQ:

What is the new ASUS 'MG' branding in relation to existing ASUS VG and PG monitors?

ASUS LCD branding for gaming monitors from 2015:

• PG = premium gaming (ROG)
• MG = mainstream-performance gaming
• VG = value gaming

The terms are used by ASUS to highlight the relative feature sets of each series, rather than referring to the wider LCD market, considering the fact they all pack exclusive ASUS features like GamePlus and use fast-gaming 120/144Hz panels and/or Nvidia G-Sync.
