About this deal

The storage altitude shows the maximum possible altitude for secure storing of the display. Storing it above this limit may result in damaging the display.

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Shadow Boost enhances image details in dark areas, brightening scenes without over-exposing bright areas SDR content, on the other hand, will look great! High pixel density ensures vivid and crisp details, while the colors are accurate, consistent and vibrant.

EXTREME LOW MOTION BLUR

When we fired up the HDR title Call of Duty: WWII on the Asus TUF Gaming VG289Q we saw a little better delineation between the darkest and lightest areas of the image. In a basement, for example, dark corners looked suitably mysterious while highlights, like from lanterns and flashlights, came to the fore. The extra color was apparent as well with nicely saturated reds and slightly more vivid greens and blues. Also, it literally gives off any heat at all somehow even though it's so huge and powerful! It even has cheesy speakers don't expect much there though haha. UHD resolution results in a rich pixel density of 157.35 PPI (pixels per inch) on the 28″ screen of the VG289Q.

If you’re looking for a 4K UHD monitor for console gaming, watching movies, content creation and similar use, the ASUS VG289Q is the best budget IPS display for the money currently available. ASUS also offers the VividPixel and ASCR (dynamic contrast ratio) features, which we recommend turning off for the best picture quality. For a noteworthy HDR viewing experience, a display needs a much higher brightness and contrast ratio with local dimming, but these monitors are also much more expensive.

ASUS TUF Gaming VG289Q1A 28” HDR Features

Compatible with industry-standard HDR10 high dynamic range for color and brightness levels that exceed the capabilities of ordinary monitors For instance, the LG 27UL650 monitor has the DisplayHDR 400 badge because it has a peak brightness of 400-nits, whereas the VG289Q has a maximum luminance of 350-nits.

The ASUS VG289Q was one of the first 4K IPS monitors to be available as a 28″ variant, with most alternatives with similar specifications being 27″. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. Furthermore, Innolux’s IPS panel has a generally higher static contrast ratio of a bit over 1,000:1 (varies across different units of the monitor), whereas the contrast ratio on LG’s IPS panel varies between 700:1 to 1,000:1 maximum.

The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. If you plan to play HDR games or watch 4K video, however, you should activate Windows HDR. The impact wasn’t huge, but we could see a difference with HDR-enabled content. As an edge lit IPS monitor, there’s a limit to the Asus TUF Gaming VG289Q's available dynamic range. But the tone mapping that comes with HDR in general did provide a bit of extra pop. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.

The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Determining what is most important when choosing a monitor depends on which color space (CMYK, sRGB, DCI-P3, or Adobe RGB) you usually use. We recommend choosing a monitor with a wide range of colors. The higher the percentage, the better the experience. The DCI-P3 color space is the most popular and has the widest range of colors.

The input panel is sparse with just a single DisplayPort 1.2 and two HDMI 2.0 (see how they compare in our DisplayPort vs. HDMI article). There are no USB ports, but you get a 3.5mm audio port for your best gaming headset or powered speakers. Even if you have a powerful graphics card, you should consider acquiring a higher refresh rate display for games as it makes for a lot more enjoyable gaming experience. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. The DisplayPort cord they gave stopped working (or something? idk haha) It's just a cheap cord, you should buy a good one! With some low refresh rate monitors, we've had situations where their low refresh rate resulted in choppy, stuttering motion, particularly during fast-paced action scenes in movies or games. This poor performance of having a low refresh rate is because the monitor cannot keep up with the speed at which the picture changes. A higher refresh rate can reduce this effect, resulting in a more immersive and responsive experience. Our experience with monitors has shown us that a high refresh rate is crucial when playing fast-paced games such as first-person shooters and racing games.
