ASUS VP28UQG 28-inch 4K UHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor

I got this for my PS4 Pro down sized from a 43” 4K HDR tv, it was too big for my office. The picture is amazing. Loads of customisable options.
This monitor has really impressed me. The quality is fantastic at 4K, and you can run games at lower resolutions and have no problems.
Great size & resolution for a desktop screen.
There are better ones out there but for the value its an incredible monitor. Picture is decent and its just the right size.
Good vaule for money right size easy to use clear picture just beautiful.

BenQ EL2870U 28-inch 4K UHD HDR LED Gaming Monitor

The 4k resolution is a grand upgrade from 1080p.
The resolution is great, it looks sharp and clean.
It's a great budget monitor if you're simply just looking to upgrade to 4K and don't care about HDR.
Super Resolution is essentially BenQ's edge enhancement algorithm.
Deployed as a 2nd screen for my laptop while working at home. Great resolution and colors.

What customers say about "Display"

ASUS VP28UQG 28-inch 4K UHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor

It really is a great item that is big enough for gaming and takes advantages of the Xbox one x's freesync, 10bit color, and 4k.
Was expecting something worse! Now when I play in Full HD tv are nothing compare with the brightness and saturation of this monitor, amazing colors
Love the monitor, color is great and haven't noticed any flickering while playing my games (fps games)
First of all, you need the monitor to be eye level, this is because TN panels dont have the best viewing angles
The viewing angle is irrelevant it is virtually impossible to get a match for color, brightness and contrast with other monitors, it is way out of line.

BenQ EL2870U 28-inch 4K UHD HDR LED Gaming Monitor

It's bright and the colors are decent.
Colors look great, playing the new Age of Empires II DE was a truly mesmerizing experience.
During this time the monitor was pretty great, rich colors and great for gaming, very responsive.
It's a absolutely great monitor. Great sound, colors, menus.
The colors are terrible. They look washed out.

What customers say about "Features"

ASUS VP28UQG 28-inch 4K UHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor

ALSO another good thing is it automatically turns itself on, and to the correct input when you turn on a device connected to it.
Picture is very good, bright, powerful, fast, and can be adjusted. Nice features like blue light filters and modes etc.
Solidly built, it has enough features to make it very attractive for the price.
Picture quality is great. It does have sound, but that is not a feature I would recommend using.
This Monitor even has ok sound for a monitor. It's got a reasonable price and the monitor has many features on it, including game Plus.

BenQ EL2870U 28-inch 4K UHD HDR LED Gaming Monitor

The monitor features AMD FreeSync support (40-60Hz via both DisplayPort and HDMI) as well as a super resolution sharpening feature.
BenQ's Brightness Intelligence Plus sensor which can adjust the brightness and color temperature of the display based on room conditions.
On the front of the bezel next to the power button is a switch labeled HDR which controls the HDR mode as well as the Brightness Intelligence feature.
The main issue is the "auto brightness" feature called BI+ (Brightness intelligence).
I play Destiny 2. It does not work with HDR on this game.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS VP28UQG 28-inch 4K UHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor

The screen/video quality is excellent. The audio is not so well supported. If you are connecting, eg A Sky monitor, you cannot use the audio over DP or HDMI.
Screen is very bright so need to turn down and the only criticism I have is that the connection sockets are awkward to get too.
This is an excellent monitor. Good colour saturation, nice refresh rate and good connectivity.
I bought this and am sending it back. Connected to my iMac via a usb-c to hdmi lead, when I put the mac to sleep, this monitor would come on and say 'No signal.'
The ips glow is terrible when connected to consoles its that noticeable i have to look for a replacement

BenQ EL2870U 28-inch 4K UHD HDR LED Gaming Monitor

These are connected to my PC via Display Port cables into an Nvidia GTX 1080 video card with updated drivers.
The fact that this has two HDMI ports and a display port is a godsend. I can have my PlayStation 4 pro, Xbox one x, and pc connected to this thing.
The included speakers are a really nice addition for a monitor that connects via HDMI.
I Have also plugged in my PS4 via HDMI and configured it to HDR.
2 HDMI ports and a display port are nice, you can have multiple devices plugged in and it does a decent job switching automatically.
