Customer Ratings & Reviews

Probably one of the best 27-28 inch monitors you can get for the price. The picture quality is great. It doesn't have features that pricier monitors have such as USB ports and DisplayPort output (for chaining), but I'm using them with my MacBook Pro M1 14" which does not support chaining anyway, so why overpay. On the negative side (and this is subjective) it comes with a separate power adapter so you can't use a standard power cord with it.

This monitor is perfect for gaming computers. It's price is very cheap as compared to other monitors with same specifications. Like you are getting a same monitor for less than $300 what you will get is more than $600. I am happy with my purchase. Earlier I thought, I will buy it and see if it works good then I will keep it or else will return this, but I was wrong. I consider it my best purchase for my PC, that too within the budget.

I experienced issues with two of these monitors. The first one has a defective “Menu” toggle switch. In addition, the ASUS tape seal was broken on the box upon delivery. Easily to use if the function worked properly. The exchange was also defective as well. The ASUS box was severely wet at the upper right hand corner. The right channel was lower than that of the left channel. Thereby, causing an unbalanced audio effect.

Fantastic monitors for a great price, plus it comes with this weird MOBA display setting with makes everything black and white with the exception for a few colors like red and green. It makes some games look really cool like the arkham games

Overall good monitor. I got two and use them as side monitors.

Monitor is great, however it came with a small dead pixel towards the bottom of the screen

A amazing monitor, graphics fps weight, it is amazing

Received the open box (excellent condition) today. ASUS monitor wasn’t even the correct monitor. The sticker of the correct model was placed over this cheap ASUS monitor. No power plug. No screws for the stand. I don’t know how did this even pass inspection to be resell. Then was on the phone with bestbuy for over 6 hours, 4 separate representatives because each kept hanging up. Decided to get walk into my local bestbuy. Got it refunded. Horrible experience. Last time I’ll make a purchase with BB.

ASUS has been making some exceptional monitors for a few years now, and this gaming monitor is no exception. As I'd just built an ASUS TUF GAMING based PC, this was going to be an upgrade experience to remember; especially as I was lucky enough to find a retail priced Graphics Card (GPU) that's ready for 4K. In the box you'll find the monitor, the base portion of the monitor stand, a wire management cover, a power cord and power adapter, a displayport cable, and the various manuals and warranty information. Assembly requires that you take the monitor and attach the base, using a simple screw that’s already attached to the base for easy installation. The cable management piece attaches to the rear of the stand, allowing you to simply wind the cable through, which helps keep them connected during orientation adjustments. If you opt to mount the monitor, you can pop out the screw tabs on the rear of the VESA mount area, remove the existing stand, and then mount using a compatible wall mount. For inputs, you’ll find this has 2 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort input, along with a headphone jack for audio output. The ASUS stand is quite impressive, reminding me of a 3rd party option that allows for greater flexibility for different orientations. You can move the monitor up, down, tilt left or right, tilt it downward, and place the orientation anywhere between landscape and portrait to your viewing preference. In my opinion, this is probably one of the best OEM stands I’ve ever used on a monitor. I was planning on moving this to another stand that allowed for similar positioning and was surprised to find it was already up to the task! Since my newer GPU could use DisplayPort for 4K viewing, I opted to use the included cable, and was pleasantly surprised at the viewing area of the desktop when I powered on my PC. Being at 4K resolution, there was a lot more space for shortcuts, viewing websites, and a larger viewing area while gaming. I was also able to take advantage of the 4K resolution quality settings on websites like YouTube to view various videos posted by content creators I actively follow. There is a display driver you can install for this monitor, which requires a small download on the ASUS support website. I would highly recommend you install the driver, as this allowed my PC and GPU to properly view all the available resolutions and feature options for the monitor. The only limitation to using DisplayPort, is that you PC handles most of the output settings, and the monitor disables GameVisual, the Blue Light Filter, and color settings options in the display’s built in menus. However, HDR and Adaptive-Sync can still be toggled in the Image settings menu. While connected over HDMI, you can take advantage of the various GameVisual modes for automatic adjustments of picture for a better viewing experience. For instance, in scenery mode the Asus monitor adjusts the colors on the screen to mirror a “Dynamic” style setting helping colors stand out. In fact, there are several pre-defined GameVisual modes including Racing Mode, Cinema, RTS/RPG, FPS, sRGB, MOBA, and a user defined custom setting based on your adjustments. There is even a “GamePlus” menu that allows you to turn on an onscreen Crosshair (with various options), have an FPS counter displayed on screen during gameplay, set a timer, and even an option to help with display adjustments. All these options will display information on the screen to help you practice or assist with monitoring your overall performance. Playing games in 4K, I was able to make out more detail on screen, with a more vivid picture compared to my previous 1080P monitor. Games like WarZone, Red Dead Redemption, Star Trek Online, and World of Warcraft all felt new again thanks to the larger viewing area. With RDR2, I found myself avoiding fast travel points, and instead taking in the visual splendor of the landscape. WarZone gameplay in 4K and with FPS mode made the gameplay smoother overall with colors adjusted to assist with viewing everything in your field of view. The shadowboost is easily my favorite setting to adjust for games like RDR or the new Resident Evil, allowing for better viewing in darker environments, without washing out the image. I was also surprised to find there are two speakers built into the monitor with audio passthrough. You can enable the speakers While they aren’t the loudest, they offer a more flexible option for those currently lacking speakers or who want to quickly set up and go. The headphone jack allows for flexibility of connecting your favorite headphones or a line out for speakers, while using the joystick and menu to adjust volume on the fly. During louder volume settings, the speakers can clearly be heard clipping louder sounds. If you’re a streamer and have a capture card that will pass through 4K output, you’ll find this monitor a perfect pairing for streaming on apps like Twitch or YouTube. This is also a perfect monitor for those looking to do video editing in 4K or pair this with a new Macbook or Mac Mini. This has made my video and photo editing a breeze with a larger viewing area for apps, and tools easily able to stay out of the way of my preview windows! The blue light filter was also a game changer for me personally. Prior to using this monitor, I was using those cheap blue blocking glasses for longer edits. Now, I just turn on my preferred Blue Light Filter (mine is Level 2), and have noticed a significant change in my ability to avoid eye fatigue over the course of the day. My Blue Light glasses are now just sitting on my desk waiting for the day they might need to be used again. Overall, do I like this monitor? No, I LOVE THIS MONITOR! It’s changed my perception of 60hz vs 120hz+ refresh rates, as I’ve barely noticed any issues from the switch. The 4K resolution of this monitor has easily surpassed any expectation I had, and has become my go to for even console gaming with my Xbox Series X hooked up to the second HDMI port, fully taking advantage of the various picture options. If you’re a gamer looking to level up your monitor, this would be a solid choice for you!

Pros - This a great 4k monitor, if you enjoy having all the 4k crisp graphics when playing PC instead of having high frame rate then look no further - for the price for $349 Asus VG289Q is a perfect budget monitor who games on PC/ Console all just a video editor - IPS panels also delivers some great colors like a VA panel, its great viewing angles, colors doesn’t fade when you’re off center - this monitor also comes with 2 HDMI 2.0 one Displayport, a headphone jack at the back, and built in speakers, ( I wouldn’t rely on these speakers tho but it’s still a nice touch to have speakers as part of the monitor. - it’s also equipped with Freesync, of if you have AMD GPU make sure to turn freesync on - i’ve tested this monitor on playing Apex legends , Warzone and Rainbow Six, and yes this monitor is only 60hz meaning up to 60fps of games. - the game did look great on 4k, MCC on PC looks great with this monitor. and running 60fps on PC did not bother me one bit. but then you switch back to higher frame monitor you realize how amazing it performs and seeing how smoother it is - the monitor have couple of game visual setting you can choose from to see what fit your liking on how you want the game to look, I prefer either user or racing settings best - black level looks great as well, loading a game from a VA panel to IP you sure will spot how much having an IPS monitor help with the vibrancy of the world in video games - but if you would really want to take advantage of this monitor, it’s best to be used for consoles, specially the latest PS5/ Xbox Series X. most of their games usually maxed out of either 4k, and the monitor is perfect for it. - Asus VG 289Q also support HDR it’s a positive and a negative on this one, but I wanted to highlight to let you guys know that it’s there and will activate on games that support HDR - sometimes HDR says it’s active and sometimes it will be off even tho i’m playing a game that supports HDR - playing 4k warzone on my PC compare to warzone on console, the game looks better on console, while on PC you’ll need to adjust settings to make sure you could reach that higher 60fps - 28” inc for a monitor in my option is the sweet spot, it’s perfect size for me when I game. i have zero issues reading the text it’s just perfect! cons - about the HDR on this monitor, honestly it helped a tiny bit, so I don’t consider this a true HDR. it does improve the color in a small way, it’s not enough to make me say wow, the picture quality still look SDR - I wish the console provide some shortcuts to switching ports, you literally have to use the setting and choose ports to be able to change it, no way around it - that’s including dealing with the built in speaker, to adjust the volume as well, you will need go to the settings. terrible idea. TUF gaming VG289q like I said is the perfect budget gaming monitor, it’s so much worth it from what it offer in the box. you have a very clean minimalist from design solid IPS, HDR monitor, having the ability to display and be used vertically is well worth of asking price. high recommend it for the price and for console gamers out there you will enjoy playing on this beautiful gaming monitor!

ASUS is one of the top brands in computer related products. I have always been confident when buying ASUS products. ASUS does it again with a high-quality reasonably prices 4K gaming monitor. This review is for the 28-inch ASUS monitor model number VG289Q. It has great color with an IPS screen for a very reasonable price. Sure it is 60 hz but a higher hz 4K monitor will add $100’s to your cost. A nice balance of cost and functionality. I also recommend you review the manual to understand all of the different settings available to you. I rate this as 5 out of 5 stars! Pros: - 4K resolution. - IPS panel. - Solid build. - Fully adjustable; including portrait orientation. - Many gaming presets. - Included speakers (if that matters to you). - Headphone jack. - GREAT color! - Includes Display Port cable. - Freesync/Adaptive-Sync technology - HDR10 - CDI-P3 90% color gamut and contrast performance Cons: - 60 hz refresh rate. - Location of connections. - Does not include HDMI cable. Unboxing and setting up the ASUS 28 inch 4K (3840x2160) was simple. When opening the package, you will find: monitor; Quick Start Guide; Warranty card; power cord, and Display Port (DP) cable. It is nice that at least one of the cables is included. Most people that are gaming will use a DP connection. If you need to use HDMI, you will need to get your own cable. I connected the monitor to the computer with the DP cable. The computer has an Nvidia 2070 graphics card. You will lay the monitor down and attach the base and handle for moving the monitor. You plug the DC cord and cables into the required spots. This is located just in front of the base on the monitor. I found this a little inconvenient and the base is in the way. Thank goodness you are not changing these connections very often! Your connections are: DC, DP, 2 x HDMI, earphone and a Kensington Lock (for a cable lock). The power button is located on the bottom right of the monitor. The other control buttons are found on the rear right of the monitor. Here is their function listed from top to bottom: 1. Toggle stick allowing you to navigate the menus. 2. Close – exit menus. 3. Game Plus: a. Crosshair – allows you to choose the crosshair type. This is useful on FPS games. I like the large green circle setting. b. Timer – I did not try this. c. FPS Counter – shows the frames per second for the game. d. Display alignment – used if you have multiple displays. 4. Game Visual: These are video preset modes. You cannot go wrong with Racing for gaming and Cinema for everything else. a. Scenery – for viewing scenery phots and videos. b. Racing – my favorite for gaming. c. Cinema – my favorite for movies and streaming. d. RTS/RPG: for real time strategy and role play games. e. FPS: for first person shooter. f. sRGB: for photos and graphics. g. MOBA: enhances enemy health bars. h. User: make your own settings. 5. Blue light filter: the higher the number to more blue light is filtered. There are many other benefits and settings for this monitor. I encourage you to read the manual to understand these. This monitor is AMAZING!

The new Asus 28” 4k Tuf Gaming series monitor featuring a WLED IPS screen is very impressive for the asking price. I have several high-end monitors that cost more and this Asus is hanging right in there with them. The colors are brilliant and gaming in 4k with this monitor is awesome if you have a good enough card to push it. To start with while unboxing and assembling the stand I noticed that this monitor has some weight to it and definitely seems built tough as the series name would indicate. It has a very appealing design and with the small bezel and awesome stand that articulates in every direction yes even vertically. You can also lower and raise it by sliding it and everything is very smooth. I have it hooked up with a DisplayPort cable that I already had hooked up to my PC but the monitor comes with one. This is the first time I have seen a monitor come with a displayport cable which I was also impressed by and happy to see. I did not have any issues playing games with this monitor and I can tell the difference moving from 2k to 4k while it’s not near as noticeable as moving from 1080p to 2k or 4k it is still definitely worth upgrading to a 4k monitor if you can afford the graphics card to push it. I am actually surprised that this monitor does not cost more because the screen quality is very good if you can live with the 60hz refresh rate. It is plenty bright and details are sharp with great color reproduction. It also has built-in speakers but they lacked good range on the low end but I use a headset so I do not really care about that. This monitor has a push-button/joystick menu control on the back right that is the easiest to use controls for a monitor menu that I have ever used. I really like the implementation of the joystick. It is the first time I have seen or used one like it. Unless you just can not live without a higher refresh rate and can afford paying for it, this Asus Tuf Gaming monitor is a good choice for 4k gaming and general everyday use as well.

The ASUS - 28" IPS WLED 4k Gaming Monitor is a decent size, HDR capable monitor which is targeted towards gaming or high resolution video applications and general media consumption. Note you must have a video card or subsystem which supports both 4k video and HDR or a gaming console which have some of the same capabilities to fully utilize this display. Three inputs are provided, including one Displayport and two HDMI ports, the latter being suited for output from game consoles. The display panel comes with a study but slimline stand, which also provides 90 degree physical rotation between portrait & landscape positions. The stand utilizes standard VESA mounting with a like side patten on the monitor, so if you have your own multistand rig you can easily mount this monitor to that setup. As for the display, it sports an IPS 3840x2160 4k DCI-P3 panel with HDR10 capabilities (accurate playback of HDR video taken with my iPhone 12 Pro). Looking back at some of my recent video shot in 4k it was difficult to find any flaws with the playback and visual representation yielded by this monitor. The depth of settings available on the monitor itself are pretty extensive, although you do have to access them through a non-intuitive set of controls on the back of lower right side. Having a AMD based system including a Radeon RX560 4k capable video card I was able to take advantage of most of the capabilities of this monitor, including AMD FreeSync (which claims to reduce choppy frame rates) and HDR mode which yielded impressive results. A note about Windows HDR support: at first, I had issues configuring HDR in Windows as my other monitor is 4k but not HDR capable, so when extending my desktop I encountered issues with video blanking. This is not indicative of a deficiency in the monitor and learned to set HDR on only when I had my computer in single display mode. As for the use cases for this monitor: Gaming – crisp gameplay with little lag or frame rate issues including tearing. Not a big gamer, but the most recent iteration of Microsoft flight simulator looked awesome in 4k but ran against limitations related to the frame rates in my video subsystem. Video – excels with pretty dramatic HDR 10 video playback, this display was really able to bring out the HDR effect and amazing detail. Love that this monitor easily pivots from warm HDR content playback to cool retina burning brightness. Really impressed by the color gamut delivered by DCI-P3. Overall, this display really demonstrates the advancement of 4k monitors over the last few years, it greatly improves the capabilities of my first gen Samsung 4k 27 inch monitor. Pros: - Ergonomic and functional stand - Quality panel, pivots from HDR to retina burning brightness - Increased color gamut - Highly tunable/configurable - Flicker free - Integration with AMD and NVIDIA products Cons: - 60 hertz Refresh Rate, give us at least a 100 hertz. - Physical controls and OSD menu system a bit difficult to master.

The ASUS VG289Q Gaming Monitor is a great-looking piece of hardware with a beautiful display that is as good at gaming as it is at 4K video and everyday work. It has all the right bells and whistles to sit on a work desk while becoming a serious game machine after the clock strikes 5. The star here is the 28" 4K IPS panel, but it's paired with a stand that does everything right. The VG289Q has swiveled, lifted, tilted, and twisted its way into my heart. -----Here's the tl;dr version:----- Things I like: - 4k@60Hz looks AMAZING for games and video - Enough color options that I can use a preset for most things - Gaming modes really helpful for dark games without blowing out image - Nice that you can set gaming modes using a main button - Looks great for everyday work - Height adjustment, tilt and swivel are awesome to have and perfectly dialed in Things I don't like: - Difficulty getting 4k@60Hz to work with HDMI on an ASUS laptop (USB-C to DisplayPort works great) - Navigating using the joystick isn't my favorite, but you get used to it - Tinny speakers are not good -----Here's the long version:----- I was very excited to get this monitor, as I have a super-sweet ASUS Q538EI laptop with a 4k display, and dealing with a 1080p monitor as my second was getting me down. I'm a casual gamer and a full-time work-from-homer since the beginning of the pandemic, so I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, doing front-end development, editing images, watching my beloved Chicago Cubs play day games via MLB.tv, or blasting demons in Doom Eternal, digging deep holes with my kids in Minecraft, or doing some neo-platforming in Ori (which looks just KILLER in 4K, btw). I need something that's color accurate for graphics work, and this fits the bill pretty well, compared to the Pantone-validated display of the Q538. I also need something bigger than my laptop screen that's specifically ready for gaming in all light levels. Basically, I need a monitor that can do it ALL, and do it all day long. The ASUS VG289Q is exactly that, and if it weren't for one very troublesome (but mostly solved) problem that's kinda specific to my situation, I'd give it 5 stars without hesitation. Here's the deal: I have a brand new ASUS laptop and I got a brand new ASUS gaming monitor. I plugged one end of a brand new HDMI cable into the laptop and the other into the monitor and... nothing. After a while, I got the thing to display and set it up. It looks AMAZING and I'm like "finally!" Then I locked the PC and and when I came back later... nothing again. Ultimately I discovered that when I set the monitor to run at 4K, 30Hz, the computer recognizes it, and everything "works" fine, but 4K, 60Hz video stutters and judders. Once it was working at 4K 30Hz, I could set the monitor to 60Hz and it was great, but again, every time the computer locks it's back to the same problem. I tried ~everything~ to fix this, 3 different HDMI cables, updating the BIOS, downloading the specific monitor drivers from ASUS, changing to the Intel graphics drivers, then back to ASUS's. Even contacted ASUS support and outlined all my problems in long emails. Nothing. You know what fixed it? Buying a USB-C to DisplayPort cable so I can run the monitor from one of the Q538EI's Thunderbolt 4 ports. First time, flawless. I wish I hadn't had to deal with that, but those few days of frustration will someday soon be a distant memory, and this awesome monitor will still be sitting a couple feet away from me, looking and performing absolutely great. Now my only complaints are the joystick and buttons ASUS uses to navigate its menus are kinda wonky to get used to, and placing them on the right side means I need to swivel the monitor to get at them. Also, the speakers are really not very good. I set them to disabled and will probably never worry about them again. -----The final word:----- As I said above, the ASUS VG289Q can do it ALL and do it ALL DAY. Its 4K, 60Hz IPS panel is beautiful to look at whether you're deep in a dungeon, deep in a spreadsheet, or deep into a 4K nature documentary on YouTube. On top of all that, the screen is attached to a very fine base that can do all the lifting, swiveling, and tilting you need. If you're in the market for a tremendous, capable monitor at a very competitive MSRP, you could do a lot worse. Just use DisplayPort.

ASUS delivers a pretty great value entry point for anyone who wants a budget WLED IPS gaming monitor that delivers true 4k graphics, and some HDR compatibility. This monitor also happened to fit a sweet spot in our search for a new primary monitor for my son’s gaming setup. I grew up a PC gaming enthusiast, as well as a fan of building my own gaming computers, and my son is cultivating the same hobbies- with the benefits of getting my hand-me-downs to work with. He is also an avid gamer, and is starting to dabble in graphic design/art and digital photography. The TUF VG289Q more than caters to all of the things he explores and enjoys. That being said, his current PC setup had him gaming on an 8 year old LED 1080p monitor. This was a pretty good HD monitor for its time, but it was much past its useful life expectancy, and it was definitely time for an upgrade. The TUF VG289Q is our second IPS (In-Plane Switching) monitor, which has been a shift away from the twisted nematic (TN) screens I closely associated with gaming. The TN panel types favored speed and refresh rates, but they lacked color-depth and had pretty diminished viewing angles. My first IPS monitor was a higher-end 165 mhz monitor with a 1ms refresh rate that serves as my main gaming monitor, it will be interesting to see how this one holds up against it. From a build perspective, I’ve never owned an ASUS monitor, but they’ve put together a pretty solid reputation around build quality and craftmanship. This monitor looks to be no exception, it has a sturdy base that connects to the vertical arm with a single thumbscrew- really easy to setup and install yourself, and pretty rock solid as a unit once the monitor is connected. The monitor design comes together in a matte black finish with a minimalist gaming aesthetic to it, the only visual beyond the ASUS and TUF logos is a red ring around the base pivot. The build offers a premium feel with the very tight top and side bezels, a thicker bottom bezel as you would normally expect, and controls on the right lower rear using a few buttons and an OSD joystick (a feature I like more and more for ease of use over additional buttons). My son loves the pivot and angle options offered by the stand design, there is great mobility/flexibility both left to right and sliding up and down (an almost 6 inch change in verticality you can adjust to), as well as up and down tilting of the screen to combat glare. As a primary gaming monitor (as opposed to your side-hustle monitor that gets used for web browsing, streaming and other multi-tasking stuff while gaming…), it will likely remain in the landscape position in our desk setup. In terms of connectivity, it has a single Displayport 1.2, a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio. The built in speakers can provide decent sound, but we game with headsets and don't rely on monitor speakers, so the sound quality isn’t really a high priority for me. The TUF VG289Q monitor offers a pretty decent expanse of OSD features to help bring out the best of the different game types and environments, with more than a few Gaming Visual Mode presets based on game type, and an ability to customize your own. There is a broad array of calibration tools also packed in, but I have to say that the monitor came really well calibrated out of the box. My son particularly enjoyed the GamePlus menu, which offered a few gaming-specific tools in crosshairs, countdown timers and FPS meters he enjoys having on while playing. Very comprehensive feature-set that caters to folks looking for quick and easy presets (me), or for those looking to make adjustments to every slider and toggle until you calibrate your way to perfection. We are using the Displayport to connect to a Nvidia RTX 2070 Super, and are able to take advantage of the G-sync capabilities even though this is a Freesync monitor (which caters to AMD graphic cards). While the monitor has yet to be certified by Nvidia (and will advise you of that in settings), there was no issue with enabling it and validating that it worked through various software and program tests. We enabled HDR in Windows, and while it is entry-level HDR (not VESA certified HDR), you do see the difference in gameplay with it on. Much like my first dive into an IPS monitor, it was pretty astounding to see the visual difference offered in color and depth. It really shines in single-player action/adventure games that are scenery and environment-rich, like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro Exodus or The Witcher 3. I’ve played all three in HD (which I thought was stunning back then), but to revisit them in 4K is a pretty stunning refresh with new depths of color saturation and vivid rendering of details not available on the older monitor. FPS games such as COD Warzone and Black Ops perform pretty well, and we weren’t at all displeased with gameplay or game performance, considering the limiting thresholds of a 60hz refresh rate and a 5ms response time. The particular trade-offs bringing this 4K monitor down to the price range it is in are not at all limiting. Both my son and I are good gamers, but not at the level that those type of advantages are going to elevate our play seriously enough to make it a prime consideration when purchasing a monitor. One FPS in particular my son plays that he noted a heightened difference in was Borderlands 2. Graphically It is a bit more cartoonish in nature than other games, but the leap to 4K over HD really made a difference in gaming experience and really brought a new level of 'pop' to the world for him. Another aspect of the IPS monitor that is great is the wide-angle veiwing for days...it feels like almost 180 degrees of view that is not afforded by the TN monitor types. My son’s love of graphic design, art and photography (as well as general media consumption) also take full advantage of everything this monitor offers as a go-to for all his graphic-heavy hobbies. If you play e-sports level competitive gaming, and desperately need the refresh rates and timing to be the apex features, you will trade that for the graphic depth you get here every day in this price range. You get one or the other, but not both. ASUS brings a 4K world that can manage the needs of the skills most everyday gamers possess, and does so with another great addition to its long line of monitors.

I bought 2 of these monitors to go along with my new desktop computer in my home office. Previously, I had a single 24" monitor. These new ASUS monitors are wonderful and I feel are an excellent value. I looked for monitors at Costco, but they had nothing like these babies. My computer guy recommended I get either HD (1080p) or 4K and to stay away from 2K. I didn't want to spend over $500 each and the TUF 28" monitor was well below that at $350. Most of the other 4K monitors were pretty pricey. Regarding the monitor itself, the picture is great! The stand is phenomenal as it is very solid and super adjustable. You can raise/lower the screen with ease. It also tilts. And you can turn it 90 degrees if desired. It's very fluid and easy to get right where you want it. And it stays in place. It also has a cabling bracket on the back that opens and closes easily (with a simple push) to rout the cables. They've really thought of everything. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Yes, that's how good they are.

I got this monitor for my husband who uses this monitor with his Asus TUF laptop. Great 4K quality for his work on Solidworks program and awesome performance for his gaming needs. We bought other monitor before only to realize it needs a speaker, this one comes with decent speakers. It is adjustable vertically and horizontally swivel, as well. We compared this monitor with other 4K monitors out there, and this definitely comes out top for quality and performance!

I play mostly Xbox App games on my computer but do happen to have some old school games installed like Quake IV and Unreal Tournament. I like to watch YouTube and movies on my computer as well so this monitor is versatile enough to let me game and experience some great visuals as well as watch 4K HDR content off the web. The controls and OSD are very smooth and it also is nice if you have multiple devices plugged in it will auto-switch between inputs. For gaming it has different preset settings as well as supporting Freesync, HDR, and various game specific settings. You can also make your own adjustments and save them to have specific settings for whatever you are doing. Overall very happy with this monitor, looks great mounted off my wall and have been very pleased with the games I have played as well as some of the movies and 4K YouTube content I have watched.

Got this for my PlayStation 5. Setup took about a minute, really nice, sturdy base. Colors are crisp and vibrant. Everything has a photo-realistic sharpness to it, compared to the average 4k tv that adds all sorts of motion blur and processing to everything. It’s most noticeable on games with a lot of tiny text, like Diablo 3. Absolutely a joy to use. Tested this with my laptop’s hdmi-out and again, quick and simple setup. Only thing I dislike is the ports being under the tv instead of on the side. You got to flip it over to plug stuff in, and it’s awkward to try to hold, and gets the screen smudged with fingerprints, not a dealbreaker, just an irritation. For the price, however, you can’t go wrong with this. Doom, Farcry 5, The Last of Us, Spiderman, etc all look better than they ever did on my 40” 4k hdr tv.

This monitor is a great pickup for anyone looking for a cheap 4k monitor. The only con is if you are looking for gaming and want a high refresh rate, this will not be the one for you. I have a 3080 and can play most games at 60 fps without issue. I do have to drop quality from Ultra or Extreme to High, but even at High the graphics look amazing and the game is smooth. My main gaming monitor is a 32" 2k 165 Hz. I replaced a 24" Asus HD 144Hz monitor which was used as a second monitor and am super happy with this purchase. The colors are amazing, the extra desktop space that I got from going from a 1080p monitor to a 4K is a huge help, and overall happy with the monitor.
