ASUS VP28UQG 28" 4K/UHD 3840x2160 1ms DP HDMI Adaptive Sync/FreeSync Eye Care Monitor

This is a great monitor for the price. I found that I had to have the right settings, then it looked great. I haven’t run any games on it, so I couldn’t rate that. But the 1 ms timing doesn’t hurt.I read a lot of very negative reviews about this monitor and evaluated it with these in mind. Most of them are way off base.Firstly, while some of the view modes are a little “washed-out”, I just set mine to either RGB or Theater mode. Theater mode is the best, in my opinion, because it gives the clearest, brightest picture. And it’s spectacular! I’m comparing it to my older 1900x1080 Samsung 144Hz monitor on the one hand and the OLED display on my iPhone. This monitor is not as bright as my old Samsung, but the colors are better. And this monitor’s color gamut almost seems comparable to my OLED iPhone! It’s really, really nice.Secondly, I reduced the output of only red and blue each, by 5%. This eliminated what was a little bias in the color balance that I didn’t like, but now it’s perfect!Thirdly, the whites are crisp and bright… I do have my brightness turned up to 100%, but a little lower down to 80% is fine too. I have my contrast a bit higher as well. The blacks are deep and true black. There is also subtlety in the display of gray shades.Fourthly, the resolution is awesome! So sharp and crystal clear. I’m doing photo editing on it and the nuances of high res pics come through great.I do not experience any of the display anomalies described in some of the negative reviews. Videos are smooth and spectacular. I did do a high res game benchmark and the display was fine. Looked great. But the video game benchmark result was average, because of the limiting factor of my older nvidia GeForce gtx 1650 card. I would definitely, if you have the money, get a better quality video card to power this monitor.I have been unable to get 10bit color to work, I’m pretty sure because I’m using an HDMI instead of Display Port cable.Also, this monitor is having no problem at all “waking up” when I power on my computer. It does take a little longer than my Samsung did; the screen just comes on as Windows is loading.If you are shopping for a budget computer monitor upgrade, want to save money, don’t really need a better $500 -$700 high res, high refresh rate, I highly recommend this one. 60Hz is just fine for me, looks great compared to my older 144hz monitor. I’m very impressed and pleased with this Asus monitor.The pictures I submitted for this speak for themselves.I can now update my review on this monitor with additional pertinent information. I just connected my monitor using a DisplayPort cable instead of the HDMI and found that graphics performance increased dramatically. My Passmark score for 3D graphics improved right away by more than 20%. I can now enable 10bit color and the display has improved significantly. The display now has even more clarity and brilliance than before when I said it’s spectacular. I just went: “Wow!!!”. Ultra HD videos are absolutely stunning and smooth. I gave this monitor an excellent score before, but now I’m floored! For the price, this monitor is a no-brainer. But do yourself a favor and connect it using a DisplayPort cable.

Monitor is pretty good so far ( upgrade from Asus 27 inch monitor ). Picture quality is excellent ( even better in HDR mode ). Until now, I don't have any complaints with this purchase.

Bought this to use with new Mac Mini M2. Some have complained about not getting a good resolution or requiring a lot of tweaking. For me it worked right out of the box, beautifully! I do quite a bit of CAD work and this monitor does all I could ask for.

Monitor is pretty good so far. Though the price was good for the resolution and refresh rate. You do have to do some messing around with the settings as the out of the box picture quality is absolute trash and just doesn't look good. My personal settings are: Brightness: 92 Contrast: 19 Saturation: 47 Cold Temp. Warm Sharpness: 60 And I found that Theater Mode looks pretty good. The only issue I have with the monitor is that the top of the screen looks the tiniest bit darker than the center or the bottom of the screen, BUT I only think that because I might be sitting a little too low, but at the same time my eyes are level about 3/4 from the bottom of the screen.

This is a great monitor, don't get discouraged by the negative reviews! I encountered a lot of the problems mentioned in the negative reviews but got this thing running finely tuned with no flickering or image issues. ASUS gives you a lot of adjustments and settings on the OSD with the ability to save four profiles but none of the presets are that great out of the box and require some additional tweaking for the best picture. ASUS should have this more fine tuned when it leaves the factory for better plug and play compatibility...take note ASUS! The hardware you connect this to also makes a big difference, here's how my journey has gone since purchasing:I bought this (April 2020) to be a primary monitor that ran off a slightly older MSI gaming laptop with a nVidia GT 765M 2GB connected using the display port cable. This is where I encountered most of my problems with flickering and instability as the GT 765M was not able to handle the 3840 x 2160 resolution even with the laptop screen turned off. I gained the stability by turning the resolution down to 1920 x 1080 and by using the "nVidia Recommended" settings in the nVidia Control Panel. I found that tinkering with too many of these settings also resulted in flickering and blackouts. Not satisfied with this arrangement I recently decided to sell the MSI laptop and build a new micro atx tower (loved the laptop but always have been more a desktop fan because you have more upgrade options).My new tower has a Intel 10th Gen Core i3 chip with the built-in UHD Graphics 630 which has plenty of power to run this monitor at the full 3840 x 2160 resolution. UHD videos on Netflix and Disney+ look amazing and run smoothly. At the end of the day though it's really dependent on the video or picture source, this also has a huge impact on the final quality (check out some of the 4K and 8K videos on YouTube while your adjusting and fine tuning the settings on the monitor). Colors look great and "pop" and the off viewing angles are great as well.After being on the two aforementioned systems, here are the monitor settings that I currently use:GameModeBlue Light Filter - Level 0Brightness - 75Contrast - 75Saturation - 55Color Temp - User Mode R-95 G-100 B-100Skin Tone - NaturalSmart View - OFFSharpness - 50 (Already a high res monitor, too much decreases image quality)Trace Free - 60 (Already a high res monitor, too much decreases image quality)VividPixel - 25 (Already a high res monitor, too much decreases image quality)ASCR - ONAdaptive Sync/FreeSync - OFF (Graphics card on order, will update after install)GamePlus - OFFThese are a good starting point for your initial setup (be sure to save your profile in one of the four available) or if your struggling to find a good combination. Obviously your system and personal tastes will vary and additional tweaking may be required.Cons:- The included stand has limited adjustment, it can only tilt the screen. I'm assuming ASUS did this keep the cost low and most gamers will just mount on an arm anyways...I did and love it!- No USB connectors which I personally find convenient (bought a 4 port USB 3.0 hub for my desk)- Brightness could be better but most gamers probably won't mind, typically playing in darker environments.Hope this helps!(Updated 8/28/2020)

La calidad de imagen es muy buena, el volumen de las bocinas es muy bajo. Aveces sin darme cuenta el brillo baja bastante poquito a poco y se sube de jalón, no sé si se deba a las funciones eye care+, si es un poco molesto a la vista, también hubiera agradecido un puerto USB. Fuera de eso es muy buen monitor y estoy satisfecho .

Compared to a Roku TV, the difference in quality is night and day. The colours are richer, the blacks darker. The difference between 1440 and a low end 4k TV, could be seen again between said low end TV and this monitor. I'm not a seasoned gamer so I couldn't comment how able the screen is for esports. The speakers are terrible. Buy 20$ 8w TV speakers to overcome this. No stars deducted because I don't expect a computer monitor to have good sound quality.

El monitor tiene excelente imagen para el uso que yo le doy. Mi trabajo es enteramente de oficina, por lo que no necesito precisión en tonos, colores y todo eso que para otras personas podría resultar crítico.Despliega textos e imágenes súper nítidas y su tamaño me permite trabajar con múltiples documentos a la vez. No tiene reflejos en la pantalla y su funcionamiento es silencioso.Además de mi computadora, tengo conectado un Amazon FireTV 4K para uso ocasional (Películas y vídeos). A mí me gusta mucho lo que veo. Lo considero una compra perfecta para mis gustos y necesidades.Ahora… el tema de las bocinas… Tienen un sonido muy similar al de un televisor promedio de 32 pulgadas. Si estás buscando algo que te permita ahorrarte el espacio de las bocinas en tu mesa, cables atravesados y conexiones adicionales y mantienes las expectativas dentro de lo razonable, este es el monitor para ti.Sus bocinas no son ideales para escuchar música, pues les faltan graves, pero hacen el trabajo con un volumen bastante aceptable. Para ver películas ocasionalmente, cumplen perfectamente. Insisto, manteniendo las expectativas dentro de lo razonable.Si estás buscando el sonido más cristalino y envolvente, tipo audiófilo o bien trabajas con aplicaciones auditivas, no necesitas un monitor con bocinas incluidas. Necesitas un audio dedicado.

While at the time of purchase it was the best monitor for the price I do like it and it works great but there are some things you need to be aware of before buying. Sorry ASUS in advanced, I know it's unfair to compare monitors that literally can cost double and more but someone had to do it. It is only 60HZ so while 60HZ is industry standard it's not as good for the twitch shooters like CS GO and call of duty as higher end monitors which are available for significantly more money, response time is however excellent. The colors also aren't as accurate as some higher end models (once again available for more money) but it's close enough to where most people couldn't tell unless they had 2 monitors side by side and even then unless you know what you're looking for you are unlikely to notice. Where the cords go in the back of the monitor is also a very slight issue. Because of how it's made there is a point where plastic sticks out making plugging anything into the back of it without turning it around near impossible so it might be a poor fit for a crowded entertainment stand or a messy desk. There are a lot of options to set your picture how you like it, more than what my old monitor had which is nice. Monitor arrived with the screen showing zero dead or stuck pixels which is more than I can say for some other brands at this price point. If you want a cheap 4k 60hz monitor this is a good monitor and likely one of the only ones worth considering for the price. The viewing range is also very good, you can look at it from almost any angle without the picture looking dark like on many TN displays. If you want something with more farkles you are going to pay more for it.Free Advice: Also if you notice ghosting after messing with the settings set trace free to 40 or 60 whichever you prefer.

Pros: Pretty good picture quality. Contrast is very good, colour accuracy is pretty good, though blues are washed out / weak even after recalibrating.Cons: Very poor response times causes motion bluring and artifacts. This monitor is not suitable for gaming. Ghosting is horrendous and makes even basic usage such as scrolling the web nauseating.Played around with the settings and my setup for over a weak, including using different display cables, computers, monitor settings, NVIDIA settings, and windows settings. Could not get the picture quality or performance to improve much at all.
