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

While it has the clarity of a 2160p monitor, and the coloration is decent as it uses the same panel as their gaming monitors, the quality of the monitor itself is not so good. Its very fragile compared to other monitors Ive owned, the reason its so cheap is because its made with cheap parts/internals. Theres a horrible blue glare whenever the screen is dark and the monitors menu button, while one can live with it, is a bit underwhelming. The stand is acceptable for its cost. Not decent but you can mount it, so its not an issue. Because its so cheaply produced youre far better off spending an extra $20-$40 for something better. Its not something that will last you years and years. If youre REALLY on a budget, in which case, youre better off staying away from this anyways, because chances are you cant afford a decent enough GPU to play games at full resolution anyways. Get a much more sturdy monitor at a lower cost instead and use that money for better hardware.

I went through two of these monitors; returning the first one because I couldnt believe that a manufacturer would release a monitor with this bad of a gamma level. A perfect gamma level would have been 2.2. A reasonable gamma level for this price point would have been 1.8. What I received the first time was a 1.2, and the second time a 1.4. In addition, the monitor menu settings do not allow direct adjustment of gamma, black levels, or white levels. The monitor has severe issues detecting differences between very light values and very dark values. The effect is that many games, movies, pictures, and especially web browsing will be over-saturated at best, or washed out at worst (depending how you are correcting the picture). In addition, the freesync feature is inconsistent, and does not work as advertised. I cannot recommend this monitor, no matter the price point. Take your money, and either buy a much cheaper 24" @ 1080p or spend the extra to get a 4ms response 1440p or 4k IPS monitor. This monitor is untunable. I will say that both monitors were evenly lit, had no bleed from the backlight, and contained no bad pixels.
