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

Didnt end up keeping this monitor. It did work very well and has a very crisp and clear picture! The product arrived right on time and was in the very best condition! Nothing but the very best to say about this product and the seller too!

so Im using this for my laptop, but it can only run 4k at 30 fps, so i had to downgrade to get 60 fps (if you have a high end cpu or game console you should be able to get 4k at 60 fps). Also, there are alot of annoying settings that are just... ehh. Coming from a qhd lg monitor, this one just isnt that great in terms of viewing angles, its really just a cheaped out 4k. If you want to just play games on it, I think thats fine, like for me, if Im looking at an image, I dont see any problems, but the display itself can feel kind of cheap when surfing the web. Plus there were some other stuff too. The stand comes built in to it, and when I set it up, it was just really low, so I put this on a vesa stand I had, but that whole process took like 10 minutes of trying not to damage the screen at weird angles, while normally it wouldve been pretty instant. Ive had some issues with monitors I bought off of amazon, like the last one had a stuck pixel, so I was just happy that this one didnt have damage, but I might try to exchange this for an lg or samsung monitor

Ive got two of these side-by-side and was loving them until one died. Its a great monitor, but 22 months useful life isnt enough. Now instead of the menu I get a very pared-down version of a menu that only lets me choose an input or turn off the power, and I cant connect via DP.

[Update on 1/22/2021] VGA to HDMI Adapter (please see below for a reason I had to get it) arrived and used it. Yup! That worked fine! The fact that the display port quit working sucked but I am quite happy with the monitor. Overall, it is a great monitor. I dont play games on it so I cannot rate on that. I use it for two purposes. As a 2nd monitor for my Mac and as a normal monitor for my PC. For 2 days, the display port was working but on and off. On the 3rd day, it quit working. I used an HDMI cord that came with the monitor, it works fine. Unfortunately, my PC (very old) doesnt have any HDMI ports but VGA and Display so I order an adaptor for the VGA port. -> VGA to HDMI Adapter Converter with Audio,(PC VGA Source Output to TV/Monitor with HDMI Connector),FOINNEX Active Male VGA in Female HDMI 1080p Video Dongle adaptador for Computer,Laptop,Projector Havent received it yet so I will report how it goes when it arrives.

**09/01/2020 Edit** I switched my monitor from my Xbox to PC and the flickering continued during high graphic processing or when switching to graphics with high blacks or greys. Not often, but enough to distract. The picture is clear as day, colors are great, even for photo editing with minor setting adjustments. However, if you plan on gaming on Xbox OR PC, or if you get easily annoyed by a flicker during graphic/video work, you should probably look for another monitor until they fix the issue. Adjusting to 3 stars. Original 4 star review: 4.5/5 for picture and overall build quality 2.5/5 for console gaming 5/5 for daily computer use 3.5/5 for price 5/5 for packing and shipping Overall, this is a good 4k monitor display and I love using it for my PC. However, I originally bought this monitor for my Xbox One X (for 4K HDR) (also used it on my Xbox One S with the upscale 4K option), and I encountered a random flicker during gaming. I tried adjusting the display bit settings (TV & Display Options > Advanced > Video Fidelity & Overscan > Color Depth), which reduced the flicker significantly but not entirely. The random flicker was still there at least once per game, which can be frustrating in mid-battle situations. One thing I noticed when I looked through all of the display settings was that 4K UHD/HDR was not active and not able to be selected as an option with this monitor, which was very disappointing. The picture quality is VERY crisp, and the response time is fantastic, but for a $300 investment, Id recommend buying a different monitor for console gaming considering this Asus flickers (which other reviewers have noted) and also lacks HDR. You can also see a minimal, (insignificant, to me) light leak on the right side of my monitor. This is monitor-specific, so some might have it while others dont. Additional thoughts: I included a picture of the menu button, which took some getting used to, but I actually prefer/enjoy adjusting the settings with it now (compared to my other monitors, a different Asus and a BenQ). The monitor does not have speakers, but it does have a 3.5mm output. The monitor is lightweight, VESA mount compatible, and the frame/bevel is minimal and sleek. My monitor arrived well-packed, and came with additional HDMI cables, which is always appreciated.

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.

I got this monitor to connect to my MacBook while working at my desk. I dont do gaming so I cant comment on this as a gaming monitor but for productivity it has worked out really well. Other reviews have said that there are clarity and picture quality issues but I have seen no issue what so ever at this point. The picture is clear and sharp at 4k 60Hz. The color is good and has plenty of brightness. I do some picture editing and this monitor is working well for those functions. Overall recommended.

I love Acer monitors and I will gladly buy another Acer product in the future. Even so, the minute I plugged this monitor in I got a bad feeling. Out of the box the colors were very washed out, like Easter egg pastels against medium gray (what should be black.) I adjusted all the settings. Then I finally found out the monitor has a 1000:1 contrast ratio. Thats great for a 2014 era monitor, but not nearly good enough for modern software development or movie viewing. Entire sections of my development website are almost unviewable. Also as others have noted, the viewing angle makes it impossible to see one color across the whole screen. Black has a gradient into muddy dark green wherever I tilt my head. I want to be clear that I love Acer and their monitors. Ive been happily using an Acer S236HL for years and it has worked flawlessly. The contrast of that 5yr old monitor is immensely superior to this. The VP28UQG is also well built, no dead pixels, crisp. Bright. The build quality is fine. But IMO its unusable. Just wanted to spare any other coders who might be rushing to pick up a 4K monitor for remote work.

Good tv...bought it on sale and waited to put it up while cleaning the house up. The only issue I have is it glitches on a regularly. Sometimes it the volume a Some time the screen goes blank. Restarting it has been working

My only nitpick would be the screens height. So keep that in mind. But overall loving it.
