Hello,
I'm very pleased with the quality of the screen.
It's very easy to install, simple instructions, top quality and adapts quickly to any games platform with all its usb and hdmi ports.
I'm very pleased with the quality and the price. I would recommend
After 6 months of use:
- Overshoot problem:
I noticed that this screen was affected by an exaggerated screen overdrive problem, which creates overshoot, making the image tiring in the long run. It should be noted that this overdrive cannot be deactivated, despite the option in the
Fortunately, there is a solution: A web user has published an alternative F10 firmware, which solves the overshoot problem.
Search on reddit for the article entitled: hacked_my_m28u_to_fix_the_overshoot
- Another problem: the image sharpening setting only works in the horizontal direction, so there's a vertical sharpening that can't be deactivated, which is very annoying both in games and when you're working.
- Image flicker when using the variable refresh rate
VRR isn't really usable on this screen, so I had to disable it.
I waited a few months to give my opinion on this screen and honestly it's great.
I don't know what happened to Jerome in the comments below but there is no leakage on my side. The image is very good. I work on it with a macbook plugged in, I watch movies and play PS5, it's perfect in every way.
As a graphic designer I wanted a monitor that was versatile, didn't have red lights all over the place like a hardcore gamer and had a refresh rate of 120hz minimum.
It ticks all the boxes.
Very good graphics, good resolution for both gaming and watching movies. The only downside is that it's a bit expensive.
Very good monitor, (unknown brand for me but not disappointed).
My mandatory criteria for an optimal gaming experience:
Adjustable height with a sliding foot
HDMI 2.1 ports (1 port for gaming and the 2nd for work)
Ultra short response time and 144Hz
4K screen (3 thin edges)
Secondary criteria :
Price (very attractive for the performance)
Easy adjustment (contrast etc...)
Fast delivery
I RECOMMEND this site and this product
Very good quality screens, well packaged, easy to assemble (no technical knowledge required), excellent service at the reception.
This has been one of the worst purchasing experiences I've had.
When getting the monitor there was a bright pixel, unfortunately I didn't buy the dead pixel insurance from LDLC as I know Gigabyte have a 0 bright pixel 12 month warranty.
I sent it back, Gigabyte replaced the panel and then sent it back to me.
When getting the monitor back, it was completely dead (I sent them video proof of this).
I sent it back a second time, they returned the screen back to me and it once again has a bright pixel.
I'm now going to get this refunded and find a better screen to buy.
Expensive, poorly finished product with light leaks everywhere, almost non-existent HDR, enormous power consumption and poor colour fidelity.
Looking for a new screen to replace my aging one in order to take advantage of the new generation of consoles (ps5 / Xbox series) and my pc, my choice turned to this one. I haven't seen any reviews and tests about it, so it was a bit of an unknown. I only knew the Gigabyte brand by reputation.
Having had it for a few days, I could see this 28 inch monitor sober and efficient in its design: no superfluous. A good point.
Designed mainly for gaming, I could see that the image is very beautiful, precise, the colours are well rendered and natural. However, I have not yet adjusted the image when I watch films or series on my PC. I think that it is necessary to adjust a little to achieve a perfect image.
The height can be adjusted via the sliding foot, which is nice. I didn't notice any ips glow during my gaming sessions. It also benefits from a very good connectivity.
I would recommend buying speakers to fully enjoy the experience, however, as the sound isn't great: the sound lacks depth and power. Which is a shame. This is the only fault I could find with it.
For my final opinion, I join the previous comment, because for the price range (650 euros), there is no better while waiting for the democratization of the monitors 4k hdmi 2.1
I've had this screen for about a week now and I'm happy with it. It's G sync compatible via Nvidia software, the colours are natural and the contrast can be adjusted. I've been using it for about a week now and I'm very happy with it.
The result in game 4K is great, nothing to complain about for the moment.
I'm not sure there is a better 4K 144Hz screen on the market at the moment.
