Exceptional gaming visuals on PC and console

TUF VG28UQL1A has an HDMI 2.1 port that enables native 4K 120 Hz visuals (4:4:4) when playing on the latest gaming consoles. An Auto-Low-Latency mode helps reduce input lag to ensure extremely fluid gameplay, and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology prevents tearing and stuttering for a completely immersive next-gen console gaming experience. In addition, a DisplayPort™ 1.4 connection offers stable 144 Hz visuals, with DSC technology handling ultra high-definition video streams at high speeds so there’s no perceptible loss in image quality when gaming on PC.

Supersmooth gameplay

TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A features ASUS ELMB Sync technology and a 1 ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time. ELMB Sync enables the use of ELMB and variable-refresh-rate technologies simultaneously for fluid and responsive gameplay. Compatible with G-SYNC, the monitor can also use a combination of FreeSync Premium and Variable Overdrive technologies to ensure supersmooth gaming at variable frame rates.

Outstanding colors with hardware-based Low Blue Light technology

High Dynamic Range technology with VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 certification and a 90% DCI P3 color gamut ensure outstanding color performance with TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A. Additionally, built-in Low Blue Light technology helps to protect users’ eyes from potentially harmful blue light, without compromising image quality. There’s also Flicker-Free technology that helps prevent low brightness levels that lead to high-speed flashing of the LED backlight, minimizing instances of eyestrain for a more comfortable viewing experience.
