Review: HDR is as good as the LG27UL, UN and UK series that is 400 certified - Finally I found a great monitor with no backlight bleeding. It has some ips glow but that is ok, as the black levels in this monitor is the best I have seen in an ips monitor so far. Second of all, people are complaining about HDR being washed out for 2 reasons 1- They are using HDR on non supported HDR games 2- Or they are playing a game that has terrible HDR implementation to begin with, and a good example for such a game is Red Dead redemption 2 which looks terrible and washed out when HDR is turned on(this is even for the best HDR TVs as it is a game issue and not a monitor or a TV issue), but you can still fix this issue by tinkering with your PS4's HDR calibration settings. Games that I have tried on this monitor and look great with HDR for PS4 pro are(Spider man, God of war, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon zero of Dawn). Most importantly I do not understand why is this not vesa hdr certified while LG UK, UN and UL series are. For one, the LG monitors in the series I have listed and that have the "400" hdr certification, do not even exceed 350 nits(Their peak brightness is 350 nits, just as high as this Asus monitor) which is funny because both the Asus TUF Gaming VG289Q and the LG 27UK, UN and UL series are all 350 nits max, but for some reason the LG was able to acquire a Vesa 400 certification for its HDR, but the Asus TUF Gaming VG289Q, which has the same amount of nits(350), did not acquire this certification. All in all this is a great monitor that has the best black levels for an IPS monitor and it is of better quality than the more expensive LG27UK, Ul and UN series. Its black levels are very impressive and makes any game that much more atmospheric and immersive, regardless of the resolution. For example, Cyberpunk on PC, set at 1080p, actually looks great on this monitor due to the black levels (without HDR). -The Cons, What are they? 1-The Buttons and the Display options are kinda terrible and inaccessible/nonintuitive. 2-No volume buttons or wheel, so you actually have to go into the OSD(on screen display options) in order to get into the volume section to turn your volume up or down. 3- It does not come with an HDMI cable and only comes with a Display Port cable. 4- Terrible wire connection locations(vertically placed in the back rather than horizontally, which LG monitors win in this department) 5- And lastly there is no quick buttons for input changes. You still have to go into the menu in order to change your input from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 to Display Port and vice versa. So good thing non of the cons have to do anything with the actual image quality because this monitor performs very well in that department. I feel they skimped on these technical issues in order to give you an Amazing display for this price, so the shortcuts that were made to offer such an amazing picture for this price, are mostly the cons I have listed, and It did not come at the expense of image quality which is great. Of course many people would add 60hertz as a "con" but for gamers who are not planning to play games higher than 60fps, then there is no reason to consider this a con. It is only a con for people who care more about performance in multiplayer games, than about image quality. And no, the new consoles will not take advantage of monitors with higher refresh rates in triple A tittles and only a few games will even run at 4k 120 hertz on the xbox series x or the PS5. It is a gimmick that you should not base your monitor shopping decision on. I mean the PS5 box states "8k"...does that mean that games will run at 8k on PS5 and that you should go out and now buy an 8k TV to "future proof" yourself? lol of course not. Gimmick advertising is a thing children.
Review: Perfect for me - I just compared a video on another monitor, and was so inspired I logged in here just to review this monitor real quick. Admittedly, I am coming from bad monitors. I've got one of those squarish dell monitors, which I can tweak a little bit to get 2560x2048. The 'monitor' I was upgrading from is a 720p samsung television. But this monitor, for the price point, is everything I could ask for and much more. Things I didn't even know I needed. Height adjustable, swivel left/right/up/down. Looks really sleek. Considerably thin bezel. No dead pixels I've noticed. Ive used for about 2 weeks. Its got different modes for different viewing subjects, movies, fps, racing, etc. It's got an adjustable center dot/crosshair, which I didn't even know was a thing monitors these days do, but it makes aiming a cinch and gives me an edge I definitely didn't have before. Playing RDR2 was awe-inspiring. I am using "scenery mode" which seems to provide eye-popping contrast and makes everything look lush and vivid. I don't remember if this is IPS or what but its certainly got the lumens and the saturation, the definition, lack of bleed, just everything about this I am so impressed with. But again, this was a huge upgrade for me so I can't really compare it honestly to its competition, except to say this was one of the cheapest 4k monitors that didn't seem like total crap, and I am a happy camper.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very good purchase
*by P***X on December 24, 2023*

Have you ever purchased something and was extremely pleased with yourself for purchasing the item? Well, that's how I feel about my purchase of this monitor. I'm not a geek but I how what I like and after months of investigating and finally choosing this monitor, I can say for the money spent, this is my best choice. The size is perfect for my ailing eyes. It has all the features I would want in a monitor and then some. It arrived brand new and well packaged. The only issue I have is the connection panel is located on the bottom in the rear and not on the side, which I prefer. So making my connections before placing it where I wanted it was a little challenging but successful. Once made, I don't see the need to move it until I swap out the HDMI cable for the Display Port cable for increased bandwidth. I used the HDMI connection first. The image right out of the box is pretty good and I didn't see the need to fiddle with the the features to get the best image possible just yet. I plan to research on the net to see how others dialed in their monitor for that great image they talk about here in the reviews. There are no dead pixels and the image just looks amazing thus far but It can and will do better. I am just happy to get the monitor set up. I have an Nvidia GTX 3070 display adapter that is more than adequate for this light gamer. I envision lots of fun to come and productivity accomplished with this monitor. Here's the thing. This is why I shop Amazon whenever possible. I purchased the monitor for the advertised price of $309. Two weeks later the price dropped to $249. Amazon made an exception and refunded me the difference. Now the price went up to $269 which is still a great price for this 28" 4K monitor with HDR10 and an IPS panel @60hz. It's like playing the stock market. You've got to stay on top of it to get the best price. Thanks Amazon for allowing me a very good purchase.
