Asus Takes on Elgato with ROG Strix XG129C: A Secondary Touchscreen Display
Big News in the gaming monitor space: Asus has just announced its latest creation, the ROG Strix XG129C, a 12.3-inch touchscreen IPS display designed to be a secondary monitor for gamers. This move is clearly aimed at taking on Elgato, a well-known brand in the gaming industry. The XG129C boasts a 720p resolution and covers 125 percent of the sRGB color gamut and 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut, making it a great addition to any gaming setup.
The math doesn't add up for some gamers, though - is a secondary display really necessary? Honestly, this is where most gamers fail to see the bigger picture. A secondary display can be a game-changer, especially for streamers and content creators.

Asus is also throwing in a one-year subscription to AIDA64 Extreme, a hardware monitoring tool that would usually cost $65. This is a great value-add for gamers who want to keep an eye on their system's performance. In my experience, having the right tools can make all the difference in optimizing your gaming setup. The NextCore Edge is that this move by Asus is not just about competing with Elgato, but also about expanding the gaming ecosystem as a whole.
The ROG Strix XG129C is a direct competitor to Corsair's Xeneon Edge, which has a 14.5-inch display with the same 720p resolution. However, the XG129C's smaller size might actually be a plus for some gamers who want a more compact setup.

But, let's not forget the risks involved. A secondary display can be a distraction, and some gamers might find it difficult to adjust to having multiple screens. Plus, the XG129C's price point might be a barrier for some gamers. The bottom line is that this is a niche product, and gamers need to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
