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

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was hesitant about ordering this monitor, but I decided to just give it a try, and if I didnt like it, I would return it. I have been using this monitor for months now, and I have zero problems with it. There is no image ghosting at all when I watch movies. All of the text on the screen are super clear and sharp. And I didnt have a problem scaling up texts and icons in Windows 10 to 200% so everything isnt super tiny. I think all the negative reviewers had problems with their graphics cards or PC, or they are just computer illiterate. The little multi-function joystick button on the back of the monitor is very easy to use, and I havent had any problems with it. I hardly ever used the joystick button after the initial setup, since the monitor turns on and off with my PC. I use this monitor to watch movies all day everyday, and play videogames. And the picture quality and refresh rate is great. I have played Counter Strike Global Offensive on it, as well as Borderlands 3, and Cyberpunk 2077, and other games on it, and I have had zero problems at all. If youve had an ASUS monitor before, it is pretty much the same thing, with the same bezel design, the same material for the screen, except it is a lot larger, and has a higher DPI. I like the single joystick button in the back, which keeps me from having to feel around for the correct button to push. I give this monitor a 10 out of 10. And at 200 dollars it is a great deal. I would recommend this product to friends and family.

[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.

I bought this monitor to use at its native resolution (4K) with a 2019 16 Macbook Pro for my daily work monitor. This results in really small text for most people, but I love all the screen real estate. Right off the bat, I noticed that text was frustratingly fuzzy at 4K and went down the rabbit hole of tweaking macOS settings to get the text to look sharp. This was to no avail, even after HiDPI / retina mode where the OS renders an 8K framebuffer and then downsamples to 4K for output). And yes, I tried different cables including the provided HDMI (through a USB-C hub) and a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. I then started to notice that colors on the dock looked really off--yellow was almost indistinguishable from white, and everything seemed a bit faded. After a couple hours I realized that not only is the color reproduction poor, but this monitor has TERRIBLE viewing angles, so bad that even sitting at my desk about 24 from the screen, there is a massive color shift from the middle to the bottom of the screen. After doing some more research, I determined that the type of panel used (TN) is known to have these issues. The final straw was I noticed backlight bleed at the corners, and once its seen you cant unsee it... Since Im not interested in the fast response time for gaming, I realized this monitor is not for me. I returned it and ultimately bought a 4K 27 Samsung monitor with an IPS panel (was notably more expensive, around $400) and have no issues with color, viewing angles, or text sharpness.

This monitor is great. Ive had it about 10 months now and just thought I would leave a review... When I first unboxed it I thought it was way to big for a monitor. I upgraded from a 22 and let me just say.. this is perfect! Not super massive, but definitely not small. Perfect for sitting a foot or so away.. you can see everything in shooter games. I play a lot of shooters (Destiny, PUBG, CoD), and I swear I can see the entire screen without moving my eyes at all. Works great with my PS4 Pro and PC. Only downside is the base. You can only move it up and down, no side to side. Still for the price, its amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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!

Excellent in every way! 4K and perfect for the gamer or photoshop expert!

The resolution is of course great but 60 he is killing me in many games. The screen tearing is awful, but for feeling high res images and streaming its greta

Well for starters, this monitor is pretty great and can deliver some pretty stunning visuals. I upon buying this monitor was kind of upset upon unboxing it and playing with it, that is because I needed to make a ton of adjustments and figure out why I was getting such bad screen tearing...Turns out my graphics card wasnt setup to do what I wanted it to do. So that meant that I needed to do some research and learn a little more about the monitors functions as well, but after it was amazing!

Overall, I am very pleased with the VP28UQG. 4k resolution, picture quality, input lag, and Freesync are all upgrades from my previous monitor. Unfortunately, I am among those who have experienced flickering. I have replaced the HDMI 2.0 cable and power cord but the monitor continues to randomly flicker. I am unsure whats causing it but I suspect it has something to do with Freesync. Thankfully, Amazon is sending an overnight replacement. Once after I test out the new VP28UQG I will update everyone. Edit: Sadly, I’m reducing from 4/5 stars to 2/5. I appreciate how quickly I recieved my replacement but unfortunately the second VP28UQG also exhibits the same flicker. A quick Google search or look through the reviews on Amazon can also confirm this. I cannot believe Asus still hasn’t fixed the problem that is likely caused by FreeSync. Anyways, I will be contacting Amazon tomorrow about a refund or hopefully a credit so that I can buy another model instead. Back to researching displays I go Edit 2: After further research, I feel 2/5 is unfair. I’m changing it to 4/5 because I believe it is only due to my circumstances needing FreeSync 2. As I mentioned before, it is a great monitor but for PC with AMD. With that said, anyone with an XboxOne X trying to utilize FreeSync I highly recommend any monitor that has FreeSync 2 (only like 4 on the market as of October 2018) or waiting until they release more.

For whatever reason, it flickers. Two of my friends got this and raved about it. Overall its great and I love it but the flickering is annoying and painful on the eyes. The first one I exchanged, maybe just a defect, but happens on the replacement too. Ran the same settings as my friends, they dont have the issue, I do. Kind of sad since its supposed to help your eyes. Been through everything I could to figure it out but nothing. Changed settings on the monitor and my xbox for hours to no avail. Ill deal with it I guess...
