ASUS TUF Gaming VG289Q1A 28” Monitor, 4K UHD (3840 x 2160), IPS, Adaptive-Sync/ FreeSync, Eye Care, DisplayPort HDMI, DCI-P3 HDR 10, Shadow Boost, Black

Great monitor and excellent price to value ratio product. This monitor doesn't have any backlight bleeding problem which is even common on other high end IPS monitor I had. The color coverage and brightness level put it comparable with other HDR400 certified monitors. At least I didn't notice any difference between the HDR content generated by this and Acer XV 282K (it has peak brightness around 450 nits).The gaming experience is great overall, especially you play 3A games instead of FPS games which require higher refresh rate, but highly recommend to set the monitor to higher level overdrive to reduce response time. The only down side is its relative low refresh rate. You will notice some lags in motions when playing competitive FPS games.Watching shows and daily work (like programming, Word, Excel) are also very enjoyable on this monitor. I feel like the contrast ratio is better than the stated measurement when I watch shows, perhaps because it doesn't have any backlight bleeding problem.The experience with this monitor makes me feel other high-end monitors are way overpriced. I even bought another Acer XV282K to compare with, but I only kept this one.

This ASUS monitor is a 28-inch 4K UHD IPS gaming monitor that features beautiful visuals with vibrant and accurate colors.It supports HDR10, enhancing brightness levels beyond standard monitors, making it ideal for content creation or working from home.FreeSync technology helps eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, while Shadow Boost improves visibility in dark areas for gaming.If you're looking for a reasonably priced, feature-rich display, this monitor is a solid choice.

I'm switching from 2021 Sam sung 4k 28" monitors that both failed right after the warranty expired. I've always had good luck with Asus products, so I chose to go back to Asus on my monitors as well. No regrets with buying two of these to replace them! 1st improvement is that these do not have wall warts or power supply bricks, so cabling was a breeze with the standard PC 3-pin power cables. 2nd feature I like is the super thin, almost frameless design. While the viewable size isn't the size of the actual display when off, it adds for a sleek look, especially when running two side-by-side. The image quality is excellent, brightness is good, and response time is perfect. I have a gaming PC connected to both, A PS5 to one, and a Raspberry Pi 4 and MS Surface connected to the other. The monitors transition seamlessly from one input to the other as things are powered on.. a feature with my Sam sungs that was a pain because I had to cycle inputs manually behind the monitors. The stand has 4 screws holding it in that can be used for the VESA mounting which is a great design. Last but not least, these have a gaming mode.. so playing hardcore in COD, the displays have a customizable and adjustable on-screen sight to assist. Love it!

Great monitor if you’re on a budget. Bought this model for my PS5 and gaming desk. Picture is crisp and clear. Only does 60fps, if you’re looking for 120fps on this model it wont go that high. Got this model on sale for a new gaming desk and is my first gaming monitor purchase. Pick this model for the $250 price and am very happy with it, no issues to speak of yet. Will eventually upgrade in a few year to the 144hz asus tuf model but could not afford to drop the $600 on that model. This is a great alternative for the casual to moderate gamer. Highly recommend for someone on a budget.

I got these screens at work and liked them so much I decided to buy them for my home set up. The picture quality is amazing and was very easy to setup. Highly recommend buying these screens!

This is a very good monitor for editing, though like all monitors it has a few quirks. As a gaming monitor I can understand why they put the power indicator LED facing downward, but that makes it completely useless in a well-lit room. With my AMD Radeon graphics card using display port I had to disable ULPS [used Afterburner] so the monitor would wake from sleep – YMMV. Not all the settings are available for every mode and setting individual RGB levels is only available using the Asus Display Widget Lite software, and then only in 3 of the modes. The monitor’s settings let you save favorites or presets, but that does not save those RGB adjustments. The Widget software hangs “Loading” if you have the monitor set to User mode, and it has a bug: if you change the OD level or amount, it will change the monitor settings according to the monitor’s settings menu, but when you run the software again it will always show 100%. The Widget software does not show an option for HDR, and it’s grayed out in the monitor’s settings menu until you enable it in Windows 10 Settings. Oddly, the Asus web site does not offer the Display Widget Lite download for this monitor with the height adjustable stand – no idea why or if it’ll work with that model.Windows 10 automatically sets scaling at 150%, which is fine for most of the apps I run, but I also increased the text size [under Settings -> Ease of Access] to 120. *For me*, reducing the monitor’s VividPixel from 60 to 40 improved text legibility. Using a SpyderX Pro calibrator & software I can only get 98% sRGB, though again YMMV, and setting RGB levels individually helped overall, though it didn’t affect that 98%. I wound up with Brightness = 51, Red = 70, Green = 67, & Blue = 71 -- YMMV. The gamma curve is close, but there are competitively priced monitors that do better. Setting the monitor to sRGB mode I get the same 98% coverage, but you can’t adjust anything in that mode, and the brightness was measured at 167.8 cd/m^2 – the software recommends 120 cd/m^2, which matches what I print, while 167.8 is too bright and does not match well at all. [You may or may not ever print anything, but I think that 120 is sort of a standard offering the greatest compatibility, so everyone else sees what you see, which is important for editing.]
