Asus introduced a new 4K monitor of the TUF Gaming series. Asus VG28UQL1A has a 16:9 aspect ratio, 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and much more.

Asus TUF VG28UQL1A is a 4K 2160p monitor with a traditional 16: 9 aspect ratio and a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz. The panel technology is Fast IPS, and the response time is 1ms (GTG). The HDMI 2.1 port means that you can also play in native 4K at 120 FPS on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

The Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium technology and is officially G-SYNC compatible. The Asus 4K monitor is DisplayHDR 400 certified and is capable of reproducing 90% of the DCI-P3 color space (120% of sRGB). Asus proprietary ELMB Sync (Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync) technology minimizes any ghosting or tearing in ultra-high frame rate games.

The port supply is quite complete: one DisplayPort 1.4, 2 HDMI 2.1, two HDMI 2.00, and two USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports. The stereo speakers are integrated and have a maximum power of 1.2 W each. In short, the display has no real weakness in the technical specs, it is ready for the next-gen and is aimed at a demanding but generalist audience of gamers.
