As an invisible player, the monitor is often underestimated. The truth is that monitors create a synergy effect and enhance the performance of PC components. Gigabyte gaming monitors offer ultimate specifications and quality, allowing users to truly enjoy high performance without having to be extravagant.
With its 28-inch (71.12 cm) display, the Gigabyte M28U fits on any desk while still providing a pleasantly large screen area. The display has a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels (UHD) and boasts a high refresh rate of 144 Hz. Combined with a low response time of just 1 ms, this gaming monitor is excellent for action-packed and fast-paced titles.
Thanks to AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, the refresh rate is flexibly adjusted in combination with compatible graphics cards. This prevents tearing and enables a smoother gaming experience. The gaming monitor displays 16.7 million colors and achieves a typical brightness of 300 cd/m², with peak values of 400 cd/m² in HDR mode. The IPS panel offers excellent viewing angles of 178 degrees, ensuring colors are represented accurately from nearly any perspective.
Gigabyte equips the M28U with a convenient KVM switch, allowing users to quickly toggle the display between multiple connected devices at the push of a button. This makes the monitor ideal for individuals seeking a seamless transition between office work and gaming while working from home.

Gigabyte's M28U is a well-equipped gaming display with pleasing colours and a lot of modern technology that acts light-footedly in games, but sometimes overzealously. Considering the OD weaknesses and the rudimentary HDR support, the current street price of 700 euros is not justified.
