Best 4K Gaming Monitor for the Money? Gigabyte M28U

it technically supports HDR, but I think SDR is going to give you the best experience with this monitor.

The OSD is pretty jank, and I wish it had USB ports on the side, but the screen looks good. There was one thing that surprised me though - [the spec for this monitor (and online listings) do advertise it as having KVM functionality, and as such it has a USB Type C port.

Slick monitor, but high price, and intense backlight bleeding

Good monitor with good image quality but the one I got has a lot of backlight bleeding in the top left and a bit on the bottom left. Does the job well from gaming to work to movies. Also came with a bad hdmi cable that keeps cutting out but I have a lot of leftover cables at home so it wasn’t a big ...

The lights can be configured well from the OSD: you can turn both of them off individually and you can set your own color. Overall these LEDs are a gimmick and you shouldn't pay more to have them compared to getting a Gigabyte M28U (which has the same panel). The reasons are:.

a few here and there, overall good

Since I bought this monitor, there hasn't been any significant issues. The FPS is higher than my 60hz and the HDR function looks fantastic with COD Warzone. There's a few issues in my opinion since it happens a lot during games. Since I have two monitors, if I turn it off, occasionally my PC will on...

Gigabyte M28U is start selling on Newegg now, with 599 USD price tag. ( 28" 4K 144hz )

The M28U to me feels just a bit standard with that 4K resolution enhancements even with some tweaks of colors with the OSD. The LG's OSD is also very neat not that the GB's isn't bad. I also dislike the fonts on the M28U and it has issues of fonts/upscaling ie: just opening My documents as example, the fonts are not as sharp and just weird looking. The LG 27GP950 out the box looks amazing and does not have any of the issues I have with the M28U!

Great monitor with some minor hiccups

In terms of quality of image, this monitor is outstanding for its price (~$550 USD) I use it on both Mac for work and a PC for gaming. Pros: * great image quality. * HDMI 2.1 for consoles (but not full bandwidth, read reviews) * KVM (when it works) * high enough PPI where don’t doesn’t look blurry t...
