If you prioritize a sharper image and larger screen for tasks like video editing or enjoying movies, the Asus VG28UQL1A with its higher resolution will serve you well; however, it's more expensive. For fast-paced gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 offers a high refresh rate at a budget-friendly price, but its lower resolution makes it less ideal for detailed creative work or immersive media viewing. The choice depends on whether you value professional-grade visuals and a more expansive display over saving money with a monitor that excels in gaming performance. Give Feedback

Matthew Smith | March 2022
"The Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A is, in many ways, a great 4K gaming monitor. It has a sharp, accurate image with good contrast and excellent motion clarity. Luminance uniformity is its only weakness. The monitor’s $799 MSRP is relatively affordable for a 4K HDMI 2.1 monitor, as well."
