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

Only adjustable high is missing for this screen rest is perfect

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.

THEY LITERALLY LIE ABOUT THE SCREEN SIZE its only 26in the screen itself is 25 Everything about this monitor is really great except for the shadows. Dark colors just simply arent dark enough. Like for some reason all of the black on the monitor is washed up and not as black as it should be. You can see from my pictures the first is from my original 1080p monitor that came with my laptop and you can see that the shadowing looks like shadows. And then on the Asus monitor the shadowing is almost non-existent. Everything else about this monitor is better than my old monitor except for the shadowing. Aside from that its a great monitor but because of that I dont know if Ill be keeping it. And it doesnt seem like any amount of playing around with the settings on the monitor change anything.

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.

Note: I am receiving a Warranty Extension from ASUS for this review. This monitor is exactly what I hoped for from a Resolution standpoint. Adding it to my 5K iMac provides a significant improvement over my previous cheap monitor. The price was right and the capabilities for changing to meet my needs are easy. The only drawback is that it will NOT come out of sleep when my iMac wakes up. I have to turn it off and then turn it back on in order for it to receive a signal.

So far the only largest complaint Ive had and the reason I dont give it five stars is that dang button configuration on the back. Its not absolutely terrible but definitely not intuitive and the power off feature is not at all what it could be. Other than that this monitor has been quite great. No other complaints. Cheaper 4k monitor that doesnt noticeably ghost compared to my other Sceptre monitor. I have had this monitor more than a Month without any real issues.

I like everything about this monitor it looks nice the picture quality is good I just wish I had a 4k system to test out the full ability it has

Este monitor me ha permitido lo que quería; tener en pantalla todos los elementos que quiero editar: imágenes y videos. Tengo mejor brillo y resolución; en los trabajos de Excel consigo hojas completas y sin necesidad de usar las barras de desplazamiento. Vendedor atento y el Currier me hizo llegar el producto en pocos días.

This happens to be my second monitor I’ve ever used for Xbox gaming, both from Asus, however one was a 2013 model 23 inch HD monitor. Ive had previous sed monitor until just a week ago when I decided to upgrade to 4K. No problems at all out of the first one for all of these years daily use, however with this one I have but only one issue. This one has wonderful picture quality, no HDR, but that is a small thing, wonderful value for such a nice monitor. The only issue is I encounter random white static flickering towards the top of the screen, which is doable, but I am very concerned the monitor is already toward a bad spot in terms of life. I have read previous reviews stating a similar white flickering which is a bit disheartening, I truly hope this is a fixable issue. Thanks- Jose.

I got the monitor to use with my MacBook Pro for work purposes, works great, a little delay and flickering when I plug the hdmi connector to my MacBook Pro but only for the first 5-10 seconds, probably just enabling the settings for the dual screen function so I don’t mind. Works great, very clear and easy on the eyes. can’t speak to its gaming useage since I don’t game with it but I have watched movies and it looks great. At $250 it’s a great buy imo.
