ASUS TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A HDMI 2.1 Monitor — 28" 4K UHD (3840 x 2160), Fast IPS, 144 Hz, 1 ms GTG, G-Sync compatible, FreeSync™ Premium, DSC, ELMB Sync, Variable Overdrive, DisplayHDR™ 400, DCI-P3 90%

he ASUS TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A Monitor has been an exceptional addition to my gaming and productivity setup, offering a perfect blend of performance, visual quality, and durability. After extensive use, I can confidently say that this monitor lives up to the TUF Gaming brand's reputation for reliability and high performance. First and foremost, the 4K UHD resolution (3840x2160) delivers stunning clarity and detail, making every game and piece of content look incredibly sharp. The 28-inch display size strikes a great balance between immersion and practicality, fitting well on my desk without overwhelming the space. The IPS panel ensures vibrant colors and wide viewing angles, which is a huge plus for both solo gaming and sharing the screen with friends. One of the standout features is the 144Hz refresh rate, which, combined with Adaptive-Sync (compatible with both FreeSync and G-Sync), provides buttery-smooth gameplay with no noticeable screen tearing or stuttering. Whether I'm playing fast-paced shooters or exploring open-world RPGs, the motion clarity is impeccable. The 1ms response time further enhances the experience, ensuring that even the quickest actions are rendered without ghosting or blur. The HDR10 support adds another layer of visual excellence, offering deeper contrasts and more vivid colors. While it’s not the brightest HDR monitor on the market, it still provides a noticeable improvement in dynamic range, especially in games and movies that support HDR. The ergonomic design is another highlight. The monitor offers tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments, allowing me to find the perfect viewing angle for long gaming sessions or work tasks. The build quality feels robust, as expected from the TUF Gaming line, and the matte finish on the screen effectively reduces glare. Connectivity options are plentiful, with two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB hub. The HDMI 2.1 ports are particularly future-proof, supporting 4K at 120Hz, which is ideal for next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The built-in speakers are decent for casual use, though I still prefer my dedicated gaming headset for immersive audio. In terms of usability, the on-screen display (OSD) menu is intuitive and easy to navigate, with a joystick control that makes adjusting settings a breeze. Features like GamePlus (crosshair overlays, timers) and GameVisual (pre-calibrated display modes) are handy for gamers looking to optimize their experience. Overall, the ASUS TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A Monitor has exceeded my expectations. It’s a versatile, high-performance display that caters to both gamers and professionals. If you’re looking for a 4K monitor with excellent motion handling, color accuracy, and ergonomic flexibility, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Before I begin this review, I feel like it's best to say what I've moved from and how I'm limited/unable to utilise all of the features (currently). Keep that in mind for this version of the review. I'm running this monitor an AMD R9 Fury X using DisplayPort 1.2 as the optimum connection for the moment. This means that I do not have access to HDR, the full 144hz (I'm capped at 60), and some other features just yet. Once the AMD RX7900XTX releases, I will be upgrading to that, and will try to remember to revise this review when I can to better cover the full featureset. With that said, moving from a 27" 2560x1440~144hz TN monitor has been great because the colours, the viewing angles, and the pixel density (visual clarity) is incredible. Despite being 1" bigger than my old monitor, it provides approximately 1.5x the pixel density with 2.25x the resolution, and it's noticed immediately. The monitor is a true joy to look at and in my personal set-up, and the PPI x distance from my screen (30 inches away) means that it achieves greater than 'retina' effect. (for reference, this monitor at 28" requires 22 inches of distance to be classified as 'retina' by Apple trademark standards). One issue with this monitor is getting the Display Port connection to work properly. I managed to get it working, and then it stopped, and now it works again. Can I explain why this happened and how I fixed it? No, not really. I just had to keep attempting everything I could to get it to connect. Changing the cable, unplugging and replugging, changing the monitor feed to DP1.2 instead of 1.4, rebooting my PC many, many times... In the end, something clicked and the monitor has worked flawlessly since. Googling it didn't provide much help other than letting me know it's not an unheard of issue, but it works now. Because of this, I don't turn it off using the power button on the back of the screen, but thankfully it does have an automatic sleep timer where it will go into standby mode if no signal activity is detected (and power up when there IS signal detected) - while also not having any indicator lights. For some people, there lack of an indicator may be offputting, but for me, I think it's a plus because it just looks cleaner. Overall, I'm really loving it, and definitely recommend this monitor so far.

I’ve needed a new monitor after having my old Samsung for over 13 years. I love the extra real estate coming from a 22”. All in all the colour is crisp, great for gaming and for WFH. The only thing that is a bit fiddly is the volume controls (which by the way does not work with the Apple TV remote).

I had an Asus monitor that went faulty, the picture on start up was "fuzzy", the only way I can describe it. This was a 1440p 165hz machine, so I needed at least same in a new one. This one is 144hz only but is 4K and, at the price it wasn't to be rejected. The picture is stable, colours are good. It's used as a gaming monitor and so far all the games look great in 4K. Highly recommended.

It’s a great screen for gaming but the menu buttons on the side are rubbish. Supposed to tap twice and screen menu comes up, never did. Sent back for a full refund just because of this problem. Graphics were good but the menu buttons were poor,

I bought this for my son for the ps5. He's overly impressed with the quality of the picture, And the 120hz is bang on. His TV broke down so he uses this for streaming as well. This monitor is perfect for gaming on PC or ps5. It's definitely worth the money.

My order arrived today, no issues, no damage(as far as I can tell). The only issue I have is that I live in the uk and the monitor does not come with a pre-built in UK plug adapter

Works at 120hz at 4k on my Ps5 for call of duty, (make sure you select the 28" 4k version if you want this feature) not used for pc gaming but i belive it goes more up to 144hz. The sound isn't very good and dosn't come with a remote but it turns off and on when you switch console on/off and any gamer that goes this far for a good picture will most probably have a good headset so no issues for me.

Mycket bra!

Dass Produkt von Asus Erfüllt definitive ihrer Versprechen. Und Punktet mit Farben sowie Bildgeschwindigkeit. Mit der 178°Horizontal wie Vertikal. Ist er ziemlich Perfekter Monitor. Großes Lob an die Asus Techniker. Werkseitig ist mir Persönlich immer zu Hell und zu Grell Eingestellt. ( Geschmacks Sache) Aber man kann es ohne Problem über die Schalter oder dem Tool „Display Widget Lite“ dies einstellen. Das Tool kann man von der Asus Webseite Downloaden. Genauso dem Monitor Treiber. Beim Fein Tuning habe ich das Tool DPT Monitor Prüfprogramm Benutzt. Damit kann man auch herausfinden wo sind Lichthöfe oder Dot Problem. Konnte bei meinen Angeliefert Produkt. Keiner dieser Fehler Feststellen. Das einzige was aber Panel bedingt von der Technik her kommt. Ist das schwarz nicht richtig schwarz ist. Aber ist Technisch bedingt. Und somit Mecker auf hohen nie wo. Das einzige wo ich an Asus selber Anmeckre ist das er bei niedrigen Auflösungen. Wie BIOS bei Auflösungen von 1280x1024 Stroboskop haftet Bild liefernd. Betrifft nicht in Windows. Sondern nur im BIOS. Mein Alter 27“ von Asus hat das nicht gemacht. Das der Bios in 15 Sec. An und aus geht. Somit scheint mir, als wenn dieser Monitor bei niedrigen BIOS Auflösungen. Ein Problem hat. In Windows macht er alles perfekt ohne Fehler. Egal welche Auflösung Eingestellt wird. Wobei die Hauptaufgabe macht sowieso die Grafikkarte. Im meinen Fall ist das eine Asus TUF-RTX3090TI. Dies Karte Harmoniert Perfekt mit dem Monitor zusammen. Die Eigentliche Bewertung von mir. Geht direkt an dem Verkäufer. Die Kaufabwicklung ist Perfekt und Reibungslos erfolgt. Und sage damit Danke. Hast dir die 5Sterne redlich Verdient. 

4K 120 hz olması dışında bir özelliği yok ben Xbox series X te kullandım memnun kalmadım. Özellikle hdr modu açıkken parlaklığı düşük,siyah renk doğruluğu gerçekten zayıf ayrıca glowing problemi var.Evet IPS ekranlarda bu doğal fakat ödenen rakama göre az olsun yada olmasın istiyorsunuz. Sonuç olarak yurtdışı 800 $ ve yurtiçi karşılığı olan rakamlar asla etmez.

I just received this product last 12November 2024, and when i registered it under asus website for warranty it says that it is expired.

Un monitor davvero ottimo, preso in sconto al black friday sia per giocare, vedere film e lavorare, è un buon compromesso tra le tre cose, ma il meglio lo da nel gaming perché ha tutte le funzioni che servono in questo campo: Risoluzione 4k Frequenza 144hz Tempo di risposta 1ms Tipo pannello Ips Compatibilità sia G-sync che Free-sync Display port 1.4 Hdmi 2.1 Associato a un i5 13600kf e rtx 4070 ti, posso giocare in 4k a Cyberpunk con una media di 60 fps con regolazioni al massimo, ray tracing incluso, chiaro che per sfruttare il monitor al meglio servirebbe una 4090 o almeno una 4080, ma anche con la mia scheda il risultato è discreto. Per i video e i film sono meglio i pannelli va e oled perché i neri sono più profondi, ma anche questo ips ha comunque dei buoni neri. Altre due cose importanti sono che ho avuto la fortuna di non avere pixel bruciati e backlight bleeding praticamente assente, di solito questi due aspetti sono un terno al lotto riguardo ai monitor nuovi. Chiudo dicendo che 5 stelle sono tutte meritate, ottimo acquisto Amazon.
