Asus TUF VG289Q1A Gaming Monitor: now $229 at Amazon (was $289)
This Asus TUF gaming monitor is currently available for one of its best prices to date. It sports a 28-inch IPS panel with a 4K resolution. It has a pair of built-in speakers for audio output as well as a few ports for video input including one Display Port and a couple of HDMI ports.
The Asus TUF VG289Q1A features an IPS panel with a 4K resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. While it's notable for having such a high resolution, other areas are a little bit lacking. Notably, the refresh rate can only get up to 60 Hz. The response time of 5ms isn't going to win over eSports pros, either.
Moving on to more positive aspects of this TUF screen, it is claimed to cover 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, while delivering a maximum possible brightness of 350 nits. There are two 2W internal speakers for audio output, which is convenient, but a 3.5mm audio jack is also provided for external speakers or your headset. As far as video input goes, you've got one DisplayPort 1.2 input and two HDMI 2.0 ports to make use of.
