INI DIA MONITOR, GAMING GEAR, DAN ROUTER YANG BLI MADE PAKE DARI ASUS ROG! 😍

I am delighted with the final set up, I love the aesthetics and the white components which I find very elegant. Special mention to the portable 16 inch ROG Strix, personally I am using it for portable consoles because it is very convenient to move around but also when travelling. The moonlight white peripherals then complete the set up in a minimalist way.

The monitor came to me and I got a lot of pleasure from the smoothness and clarity of the picture in games, and in the hands of a skilled cyber sportsman such a monitor can become an indisputable advantage in competitions.

A good, excellent display monitor, an ideal tool for work and play, but the cost will obviously be rather high.

If you want to buy yourself one monique, then as a flagship it is certainly a top.

ASUS has once again released a decent monitor that can offer its player a quality matrix with the fastest refresh rate of 180 Hz.
