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

I like that it has 1 DP and 2 HDMI ports. I have two laptops connected to it. I still have some problems with my new Dell XPS 15 7590 laptop on HDMI. The issue is, my laptop does not connect to the monitor on HDMI unless I force a reset by changing the refresh from 60HZ to 59. I have to go into the Display Settings, then the Advanced display settings for the monitors HDMI connection and change the refresh rate several times. I havent had this issue with the DP connection. I dont know if the issue is the laptop or the monitor. It is hard finding information. I thought it may be driver issues, but theyve been updated. I mainly use the laptop for huge spreadsheets or Visio drawings from one laptop, or YouTube and games on the other. I dont use any audio, just video and the monitor has been great.

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.

Its a beautiful 4K monitor and a decent bargain. There are two tiny flaws. One flaw is that it sometimes doesnt wake up when the computer does and you have to do something to the little joystick control on the back to force it to wake. Which leads to the second tiny flaw, the little joystick control on the back. Other companies who make monitors have figured this out and have implemented a series of buttons, especially a dedicated and simple on/off button. Using the little joystick on the back to both turn the monitor on and off as well as navigate through the various menus is anti-intuitive and cumbersome, and the joystick is overly-sensitive to what direction youre pushing it. If you push it in even the slightest wrong direction youre suddenly selecting something you dont want. And sometimes, even when pushing it in the correct direction, you still somehow end up selecting an option you didnt want. For me, the quality of the image and price outweigh these two tiny flaws. And, Im sure Ill get better at the joystick the more I use it. I hope.

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!

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!

First monitor I got was damaged (deal pixels, washed out coloring) and I think from the reviews that there may be an issue with quality control or the shipping company. The replacement I got however is great, the picture quality is good although I haven’t played any games on it yet. I have seen other reviewers (on Mac) have said that the resolution was off, I think this is an indicator that the product is damaged. My replacement monitor looks great, was detected automatically and has the standard resolution scaling I expect on a Mac. (see image) For a budget monitor this is a good deal, if it wasn’t for the first one being broke I would be very happy. *First time I have had a damaged product that I had to replace, Amazon’s return process is great. I wasn’t hassled and I really appreciate just being able to take the broken monitor to the UPS store and show them my QR code.*

For the money, I think the monitor is a good buy. I have 3 27 monitor a great tri-monitor stand that has VESA mounts. Since this is a 4K monitor. The other two monitors are 1080p monitors I made it, my main monitor The monitor menu system is easy to learn. My only real complaint its not bright enough

Its a great deal for 4K and should work well as a game console monitor. But I got it to use as an external monitor for my Macbook with 4K picture quality, but the refresh rate of the connected Macbook is only 30, so I returned it!

Spectacular monitor for gaming. Bought it originally for the purpose of PS4 gaming. The refresh is way better than my TV. The picture quality is outstanding. The brightness is perfect. My eyes dont get as tired with it either. The setup needs a tad work out of box but it took only a day for me to figure what was best. Highly recommend this monitor. Tried it for PC as well and doesnt disappoint but especially amazing for console gaming if you want something smaller than a 45 4k TV.

This screen has amazing clarity and a great picture, when it’s working. I selected this particular monitor because the reviews said it worked great connected to a MacBook. While it works 80% of the time, the other 20% it either looks like this, doesn’t “wake up”, or becomes very pixelated (mainly when I navigate to certain websites). I’m disappointed because I really wanted this screen to work. But I’ve had it less than a month and I’m already having problems.
