The 28-inch TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A 4K UHD gaming monitor impresses with a Fast IPS panel and nVidia G-Sync compatibility for lightning-fast gaming at 144Hz. The clever combination of Display Stream Compression (DSC), ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB Sync), and AMD FreeSync Premium enables buttery-smooth PC gaming. Console gamers also benefit, as the TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A supports a resolution of up to 4K at 120Hz via HDMI 2.1 without chroma subsampling. Additionally, it meets DisplayHDR 400 standards and has a DCI-P3 color gamut of 90% to deliver exceptional colors and contrasts.
The liquid crystal elements of the ASUS Fast IPS display switch up to four times faster than traditional IPS panels, resulting in quicker response times. This way, you can experience fast-paced games in all their glory—without delays, even at the highest graphics settings.
The TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A leverages HDR technology to deliver more vibrant colors and higher contrasts compared to conventional monitors.
The TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A supports ELMB Sync software, which allows ELMB to be used simultaneously with Adaptive Sync technology to eliminate ghosting and tearing, providing exceptionally sharp game graphics with high frame rates.
The integrated ASUS Variable Overdrive technology enables the display to dynamically adjust its overdrive settings when the refresh rate fluctuates, ensuring optimal results for every game. You have the option to choose how strong the effect should be overall, leaving it to the monitor to implement the adjustments.

Technically, the Asus ROG Strix XG43UQ is up to date. Only more dimmable backlight zones would be desirable. The monitor is fun to use in games, but only in a limited fps range. The quirks with the incorrectly dosed overdrive and the black aura around highlights in HDR mode with active backlight dimming are unworthy of a 1500-euro display...
