GIGABYTE M28U EK 28" LED 4K Ultra HD Gaming Monitor - 3840 x 2160(4K Ultra HD), 144Hz, 1ms, FreeSync Premium Pro, DisplayHDR 400, High Dynamic Range (HDR) 1500, High Dynamic Range (HDR) 400, HDMI 2.1

A big and beautiful monitor. Great picture quality, good colour, refresh rate as advertised. Speaker quality is pretty awful but you’re not buying this monitor for the speakers really.

Really good monitor for the price. Easy to install straight out of the box. I mainly use this for console gaming specifically ps5 and it’s able to run 1440p 120hz perfectly fine. The colours look very vibrant and sharp. Bezels are really thin.I also use this for work and it still looks amazing. If you’re interested in buying a good quality monitor that isn’t too expensive I recommend getting the M27q

I think the M28U is probably the best PC monitor you're going to get for this price. Its also one of the smallest 4K monitors available, which is great if you don't want a huge widescreen monitor.Overall, the image quality is pretty good, and the 144hz refresh rate is brilliant when gaming.The "Arm Edition" is actually really convenient for attaching to a desk, no need to drill holes in your wall to mount it, it simply clams onto the "back" of the desk.The "arm" is very stable, and creates free space under the monitor where the stand would normally be.The "Arm Edition" is also very easily adjustable when mounted.The image quality could be slightly better, it's not the best out there (you get what you pay for)The HDR 400 isn't the best, but it's "OK"The brightness is adequate but not overly impressive.Overall I think the M28U is a great all-rounder for the price, and it's excellent for gaming.I highly recommend the "Arm Edition" if you have somewhere to mount it to, I'm impressed by how stable it is.

I've had this monitor for 3 years now and it's still superb! It has a noticeably lower motion blur than other cheaper displays I own and excellent colours to my eyes. I bought this for £330 and have been very happy with it throughout, so it seems like a no brainer for anyone in the market for a high refresh rate 1440p monitor at the current £200 price!

It has crisp quality, sufficient ports, and good viewing angles - whether you use it for work or gaming.Got it on sale and it's worth the price.

Use: Multi purpose, office, entertainment/gaming. 4k. After doing a lot of research on 4k monitors I settled on the M28U and the panel colour, image and build quality is excellent. If you want a HDR10 panel, then you’ll have to pay HDR10 money at silly prices and if you want all singing dancing then go for an OLED but again you’ll be paying silly prices for a while. Prices will eventually start to come down in a few years but if you need a 4k monitor now, then I would recommend the Gigabyte M28U for the price point. It’s not priced much more than a good 1440p gaming monitor and I find that the 28” is ample and actually feels a lot bigger. I sometimes find myself having to sit back a little so I can appreciate the display. With no screen tearing or image blurring or any dead pixels, the panel also comes with a good manufacturers warranty. The monitor is really easy to assemble out of the box and HDMI 2.1 cable is included. The sound from the speakers is adequate and quite surprisingly loud so you can place the volume on a lower setting. For the sound buffs out there, a headset or external speaker system, you’ll probably rig up anyway but not entirely necessary right away, if you don’t have all the kit yet. If you’re debating to stick with 1440p for gaming or move to 4k, I made the choice to move up and go with the form factors and future proof somewhat, with the HDMI 2.1 connectivity and better resolution. 144 Mhz is ample for gaming, especially with current gaming consoles in mind but also ample for gaming on PC. The panel has AMD Freesync and this runs perfectly and with no issues with HDR calibrations. It would be nice to have a remote but not a dealbreaker. The setup menu system is easy to navigate and user friendly, with nothing really much more required than offered. The monitor has a nice cable tidy and looks professional in an office environment or as part of a gaming rig, with no garish illumination, if you want to keep things looking tidy and low key. The stand is good and sturdy, easy to adjust but with no swivel option but you can tilt to your liking. The swivel would be nice but not a deal breaker. Gigabyte also do the bar/stand version of this monitor, but I find the standard stand is fine and doesn’t take up too much space on a desk. The connections at the back are clearly marked and the back of the panel looks impressive, not that you’ll really see it. The amount of ports as per specifications are ample but if you need more just get a hub or adapters as and when required, they’re cheap enough peripherals to buy and include so you can have whatever setup you run or require. The only quirk but again not a dealbreaker, is when powering off it’s easy to access the menu when trying to hold and power off the panel but once you get used to using the panel, it’s not really an issue. With this monitor you can set it up for what’s right for you and I found only very little tweaking necessary. If you’re torn between getting the M28U or the M32U, bigger is not always best. Think about the distance you’ll be sitting and the size of the room you’re using. The M28U is more than adequate for a small/medium sized office, study or bedroom. If you’re wanting to use in a larger space, like a living room and will be sitting well back then I would recommend the M32U or upward panel size's. If you’re thinking of curved or wide screen, this is fine for more immersion but you need to consider compatibility with aspect ratios, when streaming or using apps. You may invest and spend a lot more and have a lot of dead screen. Think about functionality and what you’ll be mainly using the panel for. Curved is good for immersion but not so good if you’re streaming movies with friends. I hope this review helps you decide on what type of monitor you will go for. Happy panel hunting!
