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.

Visit this Asus TUF VG289Q1A gaming monitor product page at Amazon for more details and purchase options. At that link, you will find some other Asus TUF gaming monitors with higher refresh rates, but they cost significantly more.

    Biggest regret ever was buying a pair of 4k 27" monitors back in 2018 ($400 each). Too pixel dense, 1440p much better at that size, for 4k resolution, need a bigger screen.
    They were great LG monitors, but using windows monitor scaling messes up so many applications. So I always ran them at 1440p until I gifted them on.

    I love my 4k monitor, but I wouldn't have considered it without the built-in hub and PD USB-C. It can power laptops, desktops, and even phone desktops (aka Dex, ReadyFor, etc) all without needing to reconnect the mouse and keyboard. It feels like the future, and yet very few manufacturers even consider offering it.

    The HP G5 docking station is a workhorse of an appliance on my desk and IMO is a great buy for PD concerns.

    At $150, pretty steep, great device though(and arguably worth it in the long haul). I run an old TB3 G2 HP dock myself, and it even works with most USB-c DP out only laptops and some phones. For integrated Docks I have found the Dells to be the best supported and most bullet proof (e.g. Dell C2722DE)
