Our take
I picked up the ASUS TUF Gaming VG289Q1A for my first 4K monitor, and at $225 it's a solid entry point. The 28-inch IPS panel looks sharp and colors are vibrant, though the 60Hz refresh means competitive shooters aren't its strength. Response time at 5ms is fine for most single-player titles. I appreciate having FreeSync to smooth out frame pacing, and HDR10 gives a nice boost in supported games. The built-in speakers are weak but usable in a pinch. Overall, it's a good value for a 4K office or casual gaming monitor. Just don't expect high refresh rates.
