The new Asus ROG GL504 Scar II, Hero II and Zephyrus GM501 gaming laptops have in common the use of panels at 144 Hz and 3 ms with very narrow bezels. This panel is the product of an exclusive collaboration between Asus and AU Optronics.

Asus has assisted AU Optronics in the development of the 144 Hz and 3 ms panels with very narrow bezels, it will have the exclusive for one year

Asus has teamed up with AU Optronics in the research and development of the panel, with an economical side included. This means that Asus has the right to exclusively use this new panel for at least a year, which will allow it to be one step above the competition in this regard. In this situation, Asus's main rivals such as Gigabyte and MSI will have to find their own alternative, or sit and wait for the exclusivity agreement with Asus to end.

Currently both MSI and Gigabyte offer laptops with 144 Hz panels and a response time of 7 ms, and 120 Hz panels with a response time of 3 ms. These panels are manufactured by a multitude of manufacturers such as BOE Display, LG, Philips, Samsung and Sharp. Neither of these manufacturers is currently capable of matching AU Optronics, putting Asus at a competitive advantage.

Certainly, the difference between a panel at 7 ms and one at 3 ms is almost negligible, but we already know how marketing works. Do you think that a 144 Hz and 3 ms panel is a real advantage over a 144 Hz and 7 ms panel?
