ASUS TUF Gaming VG289Q1A 4K Gaming Monitor – 28 inch UHD 4K (3840x2160), IPS, DCI-P3 , Adaptive-Sync, FreeSync, HDR 10

Product Information

The ASUS TUF-series monitor is based on a 28″ AAS (IPS) panel by Innolux with 178° wide viewing angles, a 1,000:1 static contrast ratio, a 350-nit peak brightness and a wide 90% DCI-P3 color gamut with dithered 10-bit depth support. 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 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″.

Compatible with industry-standard HDR10 high dynamic range for color and brightness levels that exceed the capabilities of ordinary monitors. We tried using the dynamic contrast option, called ASCR, for SDR gameplay. It worked subtly and didn’t clip shadow and highlight detail, like similar features on most monitors do. ASCR gave the image a tiny bit more dimension, so we left it on for all our hands-on tests. Unfortunately, ASCR isn’t available in HDR mode.

The only caveat here is that you’ll have to use the full DCI-P3 color gamut with both SDR and HDR content. Though there is a picture mode called sRGB, it does not reduce the size of the gamut enough.Now you can choose from multiple HDR modes to adjust monitor HDR performance based on the current viewing scenario
