Asus has unveiled the ROG Strix XG129C, a 12.3-inch touchscreen monitor with a 1920x720 resolution, designed as an auxiliary display for PC. It connects via USB-C and is used for monitoring the system or watching videos. Its price is 240 euros, similar to that of a large monitor, but with a compact size that makes it a niche accessory for enthusiasts.
Technical specifications and connectivity of the ROG Strix XG129C 🖥️
The touch panel offers a resolution of 1920x720 pixels, sufficient for displaying system widgets, hardware statistics, or secondary video playback. The USB-C connection simplifies cabling, as it transmits video and data over a single cable. However, its 12.3-inch size limits its use as a primary monitor. It is aimed at users looking for a compact second screen without taking up much desk space.
The accessory your wallet doesn't need but your desk does 💸
For 240 euros, you can buy a full 24-inch monitor, but Asus offers you a tablet-sized screen to display your CPU temperature. If you're the type who needs to see every fan spinning in real-time while you work, this is your gadget. For everyone else, it's a luxury that justifies its price only if you have money to spare and lack space on your desk.
