Budget 4K Gaming Monitor | Asus VP28U 28 inch 4K Monitor Review 

Hi can I ask when u record on ur phone can u see the moniters pixels or like lines?

You know when u go on the menu does it say 2160p?

I'm loving it on Stadia. It's a great monitor - and I found the screen setting for Gaming and it makes colours more vivid

@@CliveIllenden Do you think hdr is overhyped I am deciding between either this monitor or a Samsung uj59 series idk which one 🤔

Did u ever find out how to put the led backlights on? I can’t find out how

@@DougyBucketz hey Sam are you saying the backlight on your monitor is not working? I have had zero issues with my monitor it has been absolutely amazing.

@@youandiryan I was thinking it would be like an LED strip, this is my first monitor am I wrong ?

Does it have HDR?

@@almightyypack1604 no it does not have HDR

Awesome

Same here that's why I'm here

I was here for a monitor for a PS5

I know this was one month ago but can you hook up consoles to this monitor? I’m kind of confused.

@@justincox5341 Aye bruh I’ve decided to stick with my 4K TV now with my XSX so I can’t provide any info for the monitor

You think HDR is overhyped or no?

@@almightyypack1604 I think not BUT this monitor makes up for the lack of HDR. I can’t remember if “Auto HDR” works on it but regardless, I found myself stopping in the middle of gameplay to just admire the games surroundings.

@@StewieLokz3707 really? I’m literally overthinking it then.. I’m looking to a monitor since I’m looking for a 4K one thank you !

@@StewieLokz3707 is the higher the response time the better??

@@almightyypack1604 No. It’s actually the lower the better. This one, I believe, is 1ms.

I think this is getting a bit old now. They're maybe better monitors. Depends on price and what you do with it. For example do you need a higher refresh rate?

@@CliveIllenden honestly idk too much about monitors; just looking for an asus 28inch to match my current one (this one jn video) so it matched my setup well but is good for a MacBook air

Hi there, stand depth is 22cm. The keyboard is a super budget "mechanical type) - keyboard from Rii & mouse (Easy SMX). (here are the reviews . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sO-kxUdOGG0.html (Keyboard) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kc7tbTgQMI8.html

Yes. Absolutely. For the money it is one of best 4K monitors. The next level up with greater Hz cost a lot more.

@@CliveIllenden thanks dude

@@CliveIllenden hey sorry to bother you again but it takes 2 hdmis to use right ? But the xbox on has one hdmi port

It has DisplayPort1. 2, hdmi (v2. 0) (and a VGA). I use a HDMI for my Xbox, and DisplayPort for my PC

yep! Will look good

Clive Illenden cheers 👍🏽

yes. That's how i currently have it. I have 2 monitors on a double monitor stand

@@CliveIllenden How did you remove the stand? The arm thats attached to the back of the monitor does not look removable.

This is fine for a PS5 - you'll get your 4K 60fps - and much better than an old TV (which unless you have a Game Mode adds significant latency). Just make sure you have a HDMI 2.0 or above cable.

@@CliveIllenden that's absolutely fantastic. Thanks mate!

@@CliveIllenden hey just doubling checking that this monitor supports hdmi2.0?

@@liamcotter3040 he literally said in the comment that you need a 2.0 HDMI cable

@@CliveIllenden you think HDR matters in a monitor or no?

It doesnt run at 4k for me on ps5, is it the same for your one?

@@zaneb6323 why not

Yes you do. Just plug and play. Depending on how you want to configure your screens (duplicate or extended) you'll have to tweak the Display settings.

@@CliveIllenden Many thanks for the quick reply.Appreciated :-)

I wana buy this monitor for ps5 too, hopefully ps5 looks good on this

Same, If I can actually find a fuckin ps5.. Not available anywhere man

@@boom-tz3wc haha ikr, literally out of stock everywhere

I dont get it.. Like how can they have such a shortage they should have known they were gonna sell like hot cakes

Is it good?

Yes, great monitor (for the price) for all of those. I use with my Xbox X at the moment and my main gaming PC

Clive Illenden I’ll use it for my PS4 pro, but will it be good for ps5 by any chanceb

Clive Illenden also do I need to buy anything else for it to work, or can I just plug in my PS4 pro and play straight away thanks

Yes you can. I have mine mounted on a dual-screen mount.

@@CliveIllenden Were the screws covered by a little rubber piece by chance?

You should be good with the cable that comes with ps5

Was you good we the ps5 we the monitor?

@@tresixto9429 nah I did that and it wasn’t 4k

No built in speakers. Just has 3.5mm headphone jack.

I've not heard that. Just make sure you have HDMI 2.1 cable

Did it work

The jump cost wise to 175hz or more is quite alot, and it'll be a while before lots of games are optimised for that on PS5. So it depends how many of the games you intend to play will run at that.

I'm not sure how accurate it is, but there is some versatility.

did you get HDMI cords. Just make sure you have HDMI 2.0 or above to get best out of Series X

I just think the L is the newer model and has the square stand that allows swivel and up and down/tilt. The other is on a round stand that doesn't give you any adjustment (like my other monitor)

@@CliveIllenden cool, thanks

Just got it myself. Color is fine.

Hmm the contrast isn't so good since it is a TN Panel :(

You need a 4K feed for it to recognise using a HDMI 2.0 cable or the Display Port.

Does it work good for ps5 ? might get it

@@ZxrOsiris i don’t even know yet. stupid walmart still hasn’t delivered my ps5

Yes the cable Jack for speakers

@@jrhm6755 thank you

@@greenbaxbeats np bro I use some logitec sound system with my monitor :)

speaker built in. Not that good, as with most monitor speakers. I play mostly with headphones

@@CliveIllenden I have one of these, but i can't find the way to turn up the speaker. It doesn't sound. Do You know how to? I would greatly appreciate it

Have you bought it? Is it really 1ms?

no, not is your using hdmi cable (I use a DisplayPort with my PC - so that doesn't carry audio). The speaker quality is not that great (which is par for the course with monitors)

what HDMI cable are you using. Must be a 2.0 HDMI cable

@@CliveIllenden what’s the difference? I have the one in wrapper from the monitor ? I was just using my ps4 one.

@@CliveIllenden what about the mode to use for games? There’s reGular , game mode , cinematic

No. It's a monitor.

You can alter height of monitor - lowest is 42cm from desk to top of monitor - highest is 54cm from desk to top of monitor

Thanks dude. Glad you liked.

Yes - will work with Xbox series X

@@CliveIllenden you're the best thanks you

@@CliveIllenden what abput the ps5?

@@kallesven3749 Yes, as these are aimed at gamers so better than a TV (unless it is top of the range with specific gaming setting). There monitors with better refresh rates - but for a price.

@@CliveIllenden LG 32 inch 4K UHD what about this one?

In the menu (under Color) there is option to adjust the Saturation. You can't stretch res - but is the option to change alignment under QUICKFIT - say if you had in Portrait mode and you wanted to fit a Letter to the screen

I’m ordering the monitor soon and I’ve been watching reviews and for some people it’s not available to change (the saturation) but thanks

It can run 4K but not at 120fps. 4K 60fps

Clive Illenden thank you 👍

Anything that can output to a HDMI or DisplayPort - then yes.

You can use it for Xbox one x ... it just wouldn’t be higher than 60 fps ... even if this were a 144hz monitor

Bruh it’s a 4k 60hz monitor

@@themanisworthit1022 yeah but you can overclock monitors to add custom resolutions so

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

@@seanpurcell1292 Have you tried a different lead?

Yeah i tried my friends xbox series x hdmi that wasnt the issue unfortunately

I keep it fairly vanilla - Have Game Mode on, Use Display Port for main 4K,

@@CliveIllenden is it possible to connect the ps5 to the main display port?

@@Fedi4ka1 you'd need a HDMI to DisplayPort lead, and the sound will need to be connected separately.

@@CliveIllenden are you sure that’s all I need?

@@Fedi4ka1 you'll have to shop around and make sure it can go to 4K 60 FPS.. Most of the HDMI to DisplayPort I've seen are 4k 30fps. My computer is connected via a straight DP to DP connection. Not sure there's that option on PS5. Only thing with DP is that it doesn't carry audio.

You have night mode on it so the blue light is gone

@@sentinelnova8260 Even with low blue light, my eyes are so sensible that only low brightness helps

@@sentinelnova8260 My current monitor, Samsung SyncMaster SA350 has great low brightness support

For my PC is use the DisplayPort and just set to Gamer Mode (everything else is fairly generic in the settings)..

yes - but you won't get 120fps at 4K for as max scree refresh is 75hz i believe.

yes. Make sure you use 2.1 HDMI cable

@@CliveIllenden will it also be able to do 1080 144hz aswell or no?

@@zyback it's refresh rate is listed as 60hz so I'd say no

They're 2 model of this. One with a round base and one with a square base. The round base is not height adjustable. The square base one is just a case of pushing screen up or down. It's finger touch control.

@@CliveIllenden ahh, thanks man!

it's a 60hz refresh screen.

@@CliveIllenden gotcha I need a 120 hz for the ps5 thanks got the reply:-)

yes.

@@CliveIllenden cheers mate!

PS5 offers 120fps so you'd miss out on that aspect as this is a 60fps screen, but it's great for 4K

@@CliveIllenden Thats why I said starter. No 120fps to speak of now and we'll need a 2.1 hdmi

It’s not a tv

2.0 for sure. 2.1 very expensive atm

@@mz4ever123 i bought it and it’s only 4k with display port so don’t buy it for the ps5

@@Fedi4ka1 I got the LG27UL650 instead. Nice looking IPS with HDR400. Only 4k60z but will do for now till I can afford 4k120z

@@mz4ever123 actually it works 4k hdmi I’m just stupid btw how is 4k 120hrtz even possible rn?

@@Fedi4ka1 thats good & 4k 120 is possible with a HDMI 2.1 cable when you have a 4k 120hz monitor ofc.

And if so. How tall is it? Im trying to find a monitor with stand that is 43cm tall or less cause i dont have much room

Yes, good colours. Agreeably if you spend another £100 or so you might get more vibrant colours. But as budget 4K monitor it's pretty good.

I have set to the standard GAME MODE (4K 60fps) setting

@@CliveIllenden I've tried that but I find the black and darker colours are faded out. I've been struggling to find the best image settings that retain rich colour so far.

@@adamnovak4583 me to can u help me

No. Has headphone jack at back

Absolutely

Yes. Make sure you get a HDMI 2.0 or above

If you mean Portrait - then yes, you can change the orientation

standard PS4 isn't 4K. But you can still use the monitor.

2160p is 4k. 3840x2160 is 4k or 2160p. Just like full hd is 1080p or 1920x 1080p.

@@haroldfranklin3670 omfg I few soo stupid

@@haroldfranklin3670 honestly thank you because I bought unnecessary adaptors lol

I wouldn't of known this either. It's only because I've been thinking of getting a 4k monitor so I've been doing some research. I thinking of buying this model. What is your experience with it? Do you feel it was a good purchase?

@@haroldfranklin3670 yeah I like it a lot although it sometimes isn’t bright enough but it’s perfect for everything else

Apparently one has L in the model name whilst the other doesn't.

It works fine for PS5 - but bear in mind it has a 60hz refresh rate - to get the full benefit of any 120fps games you'd need higher refresh rate) - but it will still look good.

@@CliveIllenden thanks

no. standard 16:9

I use it for video editing using Da Vinci Resolve. Depends on how advance you go - if you do colour grading etc , you might want a more advanced monitor etc
