Asus made the right sacrifices to bring us a 4K gaming monitor at a super-low price. With a quality IPS panel, the TUF Gaming VG289Q delivers accurate color, Adaptive-Sync of both flavors (unofficially) and HDR support. A great choice for all but the most competitive gamers.

"It's been argued that even pro gamers can't perceive or really benefit from numbers above 240 Hz. But even if that’s the case, we’re happy to see any instance of engineers pushing performance into the realm of unnecessary. Pricing and an on-sale date still to come."

There's a lot to love about the Asus TUF Gaming VG289Q from its excellent color reproduction to its surprisingly sharp viewing angles. However, the main reason we can personally recommend this panel all comes down to the price, which in our opinion is truly hard to beat for what's on offer here.
