Thus, Asus offers a more expensive but improved version: higher refresh rate and a convenient dock make the glasses especially appealing for fast-paced shooters and other graphically demanding games.

Technical details
* Resolution – Full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels).
Despite the high price, the model does not use higher resolution. This is due to limited availability of Micro‑OLED panels in 1440p and 4K formats.
* Refresh rate – 240 Hz, ensuring smooth image even during rapid camera movements.

How it can be used
1. Games – ideal for shooters and other fast-paced genres thanks to the high refresh rate.
2. Entertainment – during breaks from gaming, it’s convenient to watch movies or series.
3. Everyday tasks – the AR interface allows you to perform regular PC work without removing the glasses.

Thus, Asus offers gamers a more advanced and convenient alternative to existing Xreal models, combining high refresh rate with a practical dock station. If you want to buy – consider the pre-order starting May 17.
