This monitor originally released in 2021 and almost 3 years later it's still one of the top contenders on value and features, however that is now in question because of how other competitors have now caught on price and have also surpassed on features. Pros -Affordable -Competitive refresh rate -Multiple USB-A & USB-C ports -Great video quality once properly calibrated Cons -Terrible color calibration out of box (yellow/greenish tint) -Poor 300 nit brightness in 2024 on a non-oled screen is not optimal (you can bump brightness up to 500 but you have to flash its firmware and play around with HDR settings) - A few artifacts issues that may occur randomly depending on your GPU - Monitor not detecting source, if not, not waking up at all after PC is set to sleep This is still a great choice when it comes to an entry level 4K monitor, however when you compare pros & cons against other brands offerings, you quickly realize this monitor is now showing its age. If this monitor was $400 I would recommend it without hesitation, but at the $500 price point it's better to save up for a newer model from LG, or even save up a few more to get an oled screen.

Best 4k monitor for the price. I bought this monitor in total for around 500 or 600 dollars. Got the highest warranty offered and tax included. Only other 4k monitor that beats this is the in store lg 4k monitor price for around 300 or something dollars. Randomly happens and sells out very quickly.

Good monitor for PS5/XSX, I would recommend it because of the price, BUT it has only been less than one month of daily 2-5 hour use and I already have one tiny dead pixel.

Customers consistently note the excellent picture quality, high refresh rate, and effective HDR capabilities of the M28U monitor, making it a strong choice for gaming. Many appreciate its price point and the helpful KVM functionality. However, some users experienced issues with dead pixels and found the brightness and built-in speakers to be suboptimal.
