ROG in-ear active noise-cancelling headphones
The first-ever ROG in-ear headphones feature active noise-cancellation (ANC) technology to eliminate environmental noise for immersive gaming experiences anywhere. Complementing this feature is Ambient Mode, which lets users hear what’s going on around them with the push of a button.

ROG Rapture GT-AC2900 also comes with RGB lighting, making it a great addition to the ambiance of game centers, as well as triple-level game acceleration that prioritizes gaming traffic from the device to the server.
TUF Gaming VG32VQ: World’s 1st display with concurrent motion blur reduction & Adaptive-Sync
TUF Gaming VG32VQ is a 32-inch, QHD (2560×1440), curved VA panel sporting HDR and an ultrafast 144Hz refresh rate for competitive gamers and those seeking immersive gameplay. Those are some serious specs, but not the most exciting thing TUF Gaming VG32VQ has in store.
VA panels are known for offering high contrast ratios and good color accuracy but deliver slower response times than TN based monitors. The VG32VQ gets around this problem by employing an advanced blur-reduction technology called Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB-SYNC™). Previous solutions to combat motion blur relied on a fixed refresh rate and fast strobing backlight to achieve a 1ms (MPRT) response time. Motion blur reduction works by strobing the backlight between refreshes, while also turning up the display’s brightness to help compensate for the reduced luminance. However, conventional motion blur technologies result in image artifacts when the graphics card frame rate isn’t synchronized with the refresh rate of the monitor. ASUS has developed a technology that allows motion blur reduction to work in tandem with the variable refresh rate of Adaptive-Sync. The outcome is ELMB-Sync™ technology, an ASUS-exclusive feature that enables gamers to enjoy sharper moving scenes and butter-smooth gameplay.

In addition to the products and games on display, ROG Convention will feature an exciting schedule of on-stage shows, contests and workshops for visitors to enjoy.
