First review that mentions the USB C watts on this model, this is why I follow this channel. Such a shame they didn't fix this since the M27Q though, they could make these displays great for laptop and PC users but they don't

Wow man! the details of your review is on point. Liked it 👍

No other reviewer out there has covered a test on USB-C 15W ports on monitors as i've been looking at a couple models now that have this that i'll use with my work laptop. THANK YOU!

These reviews are greats

Bought this one last week, to replace a decade old Asus PB279Q, and I have been extremely happy with it, considering buying a second one. Did have to spend a bit of time fine-tunning to my liking. but was able to achieve something I like. For HDR testing, I used the Windows HDR calibration software from Windows Store, it makes you realize that the actual range of luminosity you can achieve isn't that large compared to true HDR monitors but still felt it was an improvement over my PB279Q. Locally in France there's no competition at that price point for this quality, you would have to spend minimum twice as much (500euros) to start getting something slightly better (actual local dimming zone and not edge dimming, better luminosity ...) The software "OSD sidekick" is probably the lowest quality part of this product, had to disconnect my 2nd monitor for it to work. edit: I bought a second one.

Good day all.

Hello rtings, thanks for good reviews. I wonder why you haven’t tested single Eizo monitor? I’m looking to buy either EV2760 or EV2795, they should have same panel, but a few differences like usb-c. Any idea how they perform? I am mostly interested in autobrightness, text clarify, and display uniformity.

Thank you 👍🏻

Excellent review I am gonna get this screen this summer. :)

My thoughts on this panel (in summary, I love it). Be prepared for some frustrating and time consuming colour corrections though. The out the box settings weren't great, the picture was way too green (even in SRGB mode), but I was finally able to get the colours to get close to my Macbook Pro display (which I think is a great reference point for calibration) that was good for all use cases. Red was reduced to 95% and Green to 86%. A great feature is the 6 colour adjustment, which allows you to fine tune both saturation and hue for the six colour channels, so 12 in all. These will come down to personal preference though. A minor issue is white text on a black screen isn't as white and crisp as it is on higher end displays like my Dell U3219Q , the whites aren't quite bright enough, and nothing I tried could fix that. It's the compromise that has to be made at this kind of price point. The VRR works well with my Nvidia 30 series GPU, no complaints there, though apparently it doesn't work below 48Hz. The maximum brightness isn't great, it's quite a bit lower than its bigger brother, the M32U (which I had before). You need to increase it by 20% or so to match that of the M32U. but it looks like it should suffice in most conditions. A more concerning issue is that the contrast adjustment is pretty much useless. If you increase it past 55 you start to notice colour cast, and above 65% it looks really bad. This took me a long time to realise when calibrating. So I leave it fixed at 50% and just use the RGB adjustments and set brightness to about 75%. This is one of the reasons I can't achieve the desired contrast I alluded to above. I don't tend to touch the other settings, though I've turned Overdrive off. I noticed in MS Flight Sim there was massive ghosting on the clouds. It mostly disappears when I set it to Picture Quality, but I don't play superfast games so I just switched it off completely. I haven't bothered with HDR, local dimming, or dynamic contrast ratio, I haven't needed to. Though I have decreased Black Equaliser a touch from 10 to 9. Once you get past the calibration, you can start to enjoy the monitor, the picture is super sharp, crisp and vibrant whilst remaining natural looking.

Hello rting , thx for you’re job ! I love the transparency of you’re test so I buy this monitor after seen you’re review 😅 one question I have mac mini m1 and I can’t have 144hz or 120hz !!! Im stuck in 60hz … I try hdmi and usb C. Can you help me ? PS : my monitor work well with my Xbox series X I got 4K 120hz

Thank you

What are the best settings for a PS5 ? Bought the monitor and after many tries i still have ghosting .

Being that this monitor is labeled 4k but has a limited 24Gbps bandwidth, is it enough to display good 4k quality? I know it uses some sort of compression but will it be the same as using a full 48Gbps bandwidth monitor?

Great information, need your advice. Is 4k 144hz hdmi 2.0 good for RTX 3090 or shall I spend more and get 4k 144hz hdmi 2.1? Curious if hdmi 2.0 will bottle neck the PFS. Appreciate a prompt response please. Thank you Sir.

I'd like to hear your thoughts about buying this monitor for a 2019 MB Pro 13 Intel and PS5 setup? Heard issues about the scaling, compatibility, etc. and how getting the 28 for Mac OS is a bad idea, get the M32U instead (close option but too big for my desk). Can you please help me out?

Hey Rtings, I have th M32U and is the difference in overshoot really that noticable when gaming on a PS5 in 60 Hz? Somehow I would like to try again 28 inch.

Just picked up 2 M28U's for $355 each, great value.

All i want is a 24" 4K high refresh monitor.

Im always scared that if i get a 4k 140hz monitor or something that it wont display what i want

Hello, i was wondering does this monitor have built in speakers? Or would i have to buy external ones to accomadte this monitor?

Create a video on M28U vs Samsung S28 GA07 4k vs LG27GP950

Hi , I’m planning on getting this monitor but I have NO IDEA how to build a pc or anything about pcs, I need desperate help and I don’t know what to get

The m27q and this one is almost the same price here, guess I'll go with this. My poor 1660S lmao

i was wondering about G7 or M28U for my Ps5 do you guys have any advice for me, which one is better for PS5 lol

I stopped @ DSC. Why o why?! Until next year!

I've never used a monitor KVM before, does it introduce any keyboard and mouse lag?

I use this for my xbox series x and its great in my opinion. Games looking great. Also the price made me prefer it over the lg. Where i live the gigabyte costs around 750€. The LG around 1000€

Hi, do you think this monitor is an upgrade for my samsung odyssey g7 32" ?

Hi, Is it an USB C in or output (I want to load my laptop and see the picture with only one cable)?

Hi, I am currently stuck on buying the Samsung - Odyssey G7 28" or the Gigabyte M28U. The main reason I am stuck is because I read that the M28U has 24Gbps compared to 40Gbps for the G7. Does this play a big part for the HDR aspect? Also the M28U is $500 compared to the G7 being $690. So I am also looking at that, if the 24gbps doesn't play a big part.

Does this monitor support HDR? (Sorry if you already mentioned it)

What settings should I adjust to when I am using my PS5, Then what settings should be used for PC gaming?

Hello: What is the gigabyte m32u monitor’s type c display output speed? If I use a thunderbolt cable and connect my MacBook pro to my gigabyte m32u monitor’s type c, will I get 4k 144hz? Thank you.

It has Aim Stabilizer that works only with 75hz or higher. No one is showing it, in any videos:/

What’s behind and beyond a screen should be a big if. And I'd like to chime in my experience. I got an M28U. A nasty bad one. The screen flickered from time to time. The worst scenario is it blacked out a second.; can’t say when or how often, like after how many minutes. Well. If you think a faulty monitor is bad enough, you’re in for a bigger trouble.That is Gigabyte’s service and attitude. Originally I wanted a replacement. They wouldn’t let you, unless they test it and make sure it’s not my wrongdoing. That’d leave me without a monitor. So I decided to return it and get refund. But the trouble did not end here. Gigabyte would not confirm refund before they check and test to their heart’s content. And they said it’d take a month.

The black uniformity problem for me is a massive issue look in most cases it's fine I have a 1440p gigabyte 165hz monitor and it can be distracting in games like control what's a better 4k monitor for gaming.

why can't the M32U be as good as the M28U? 28" is too small for 4k imo. is there no alternative?

I was about 5 mins away from buying this until I heard speak about the issue with the ps5. Can you explain to me what is the issue??

can I use it with 4070 ti without using any other extra adapters or cables and get the possible 60 - 144 hz ?

I bought this recently, has anyone else experienced the screen going black and restarting randomly?

How does that compare to the Acer Predator XB283K?

I am getting this one until I put my hands on a proper 28" OLED non curved 4k 144hz+

Hey sir I recently brought M28U Gigabyte monitor but whenever I played any game on full screen mode and I press my window key to look up some information but I realized it has this 3 second delay/lag when it exist the full screen mode. My question is does this happened to you? If so how did you fix it?

Im curious why @RTINGS recommends the m28u/m32u as the top picks for the ps5 despite the usb 2.1 maxing out at 24 GBps, while competitors max out at 40 GBps. Im not great when it comes to specs and technical stuff but what am I missing?

Get LG 27GP950-B. I read RTINGS side-by-side review of 27GP590-B and M28U. After Gigabyte M28U disaster I got this one Couldn't be happier.

How much could it possibly cost on Black Friday 2023?

Hi! It is 8 or 10bits ???????

massive contradictions here. on your website you've said that HDR400 is slightly better than SDR at best, and muted and washed at worst. and that in most cases its better to turn off HDR if you're in the hdr400 category. this display youre reviewing here got hdr400 but you praised it for some reason. some clarity is needed.

Hello, does soemeone know if it's normal that when i launch my computer, the M28U starts in 2K resolution and then have a little black flash to change resolution in 4K (3840x2160). I ask this because i have some black screens only when i launch the computer after 30s/1mn (i have and rtx 7900) that can just stay for a second or end up on a crash. Thanks by advance if anyone answers to me :)

if anyone has a m28u and cru and use hdmi, can you export BIN file in cru (bottom left) and post a link pls, i messed up my hdmi, dp works though, cru reset doesnt fix it for me

So you cant use 4k@120hz on ps5?

In DK, The Odyssey G7 28" is actually cheaper than the Gigabyte.

My M28U isnt being compatible with Gsync on my RTX 3080, please help.

Is it a true HDMI 2.1?

G sync compatible??

What's the purpose of your 1:06 frame if you don't show the full motion high to low? 😡

Settings???

I keep seeing a lot of negative reviews about this monitor. Dead pixels and just poor quality control 😔hesitant to buy

Everyone is whining about hdmi 2.1 when you can switch to displayport which is superior to hdmi.

“Better” than the LG 950GP?

J'ai acheté le M28U, comparé à mon moniteur il n'avait pas une grosse différence pour 1000$. Je l'ai retourné au magasin.

Anyone got good serting for gamjng on series x

15W of PD......

myslite ze Gigabyte M28U nebo M32U , popripade DeII G3223Q je lepsi volba pro ps5 + pc , nez Gigabyte M32UC ? Obavam se podani barev na VA panelu(bez barev QLED) oproti IPS ...doma mam momentalne samsung lc27hg70q a nemohu se rozhodnout zda se zbavit prohnuti a vzit plochy IPS...nebo VA ale bez qled barev? Obcas upravuji i fotky.

Can anyone recommend the best settings on this monitor for gaming on PS5. I prefer higher fps and low input lag and still would like a good picture since I play Call of Duty.

Nah, Eve Spectrum beats this. It's a very good monitor though!

😜😜😜😜😜

Why are these monitors always in IPS. And then we know we get a negative exam for contrast.. And if they want to make it better with a local dimming feature..... It's a very bad local dimming.. Not even making it better.. As we look straight on to the monitor.. VA would be 1 : 4000 contrast or maybe even higher.. Not even a local dimming feauture needed..

I had this monitor since 2021 August. I recommend avoiding, just get something like the LG27950B. Why I don't recommend? Because it doesn't use full power of hdmi 2.1 which makes games look noticeably worse on console when playing 120hz. And im not talking about resolution, just the Overall image is meh. The LG was amazing when I had it, and it's not too much more expensive. I returned my lg because of a dead pixel and didn't get another because there was not stock... so I got the m28u and stuck with it since it was the only available 2.1 option at the time.

crap so not a good buy for the ps5? other reviews on youtube did not mention anything on the sub sampling for ps5

4k for 28 inch always seems overkill to me; 1440p is best for 27-28 inch IMO

Gigabyte/Aorus monitors are mid-tier at best, far from the best

lost me at 4k. thanks for saving my time.

Brother, 4K is a useless for gaming. Stop advertise that crap. If you really like stable 120+ fps in games you should not exceed 2k of native resolution

Is there a step by step guide for calibrating this monitor?

Don't trust this review, the HDMI 2.1 is a joke
