The ASUS ROG Strix XG129C isn't your typical gaming monitor—it takes your existing setup to the next level. As a streamer, it puts your chat and broadcast controls right at your fingertips without taking you out of the game. For professional use, its touchscreen adds a second, fully functional workspace.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG129C isn't a gaming monitor, but rather a sharp, well-built touchscreen secondary display for sensor readings, chat, and controls that integrates seamlessly with a laptop via USB-C. At around 215 to 220 euros, it remains a convenient upgrade for streamers, creators, and hardware enthusiasts, but it's not a must-have.

Depending on the application, the control panel will also change accordingly. If you're using Photoshop, the display will let you adjust brush sizes, easily zoom into pictures, adjust contrast, and more. It's also pretty customisable. Note that this control panel software is also available on some Asus ProArt models, but this makes it available (along with the XG129C's touchscreen) and usable on any Windows PC.
