You'll find cheaper 4K gaming monitors out there, but I'm not sure you'll find many with such a feature set that are better value than this.

The Gigabyte M28U is an attractively priced 4K 144Hz 1ms IPS gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1. It offers a crisp image quality with vibrant colors as well as smooth performance and plenty of useful features.

The Gigabyte M28U delivers an impressive gaming experience. It has an outstanding response time and a great selection of gaming features, including support for variable refresh rate technology (VRR). It has two HDMI 2.1 ports, making it a great choice for next-gen console gamers. Input lag is also really low, but you need to make sure it's updated to the latest firmware. The overdrive settings are a bit strange, too, as there's noticeable overshoot in every mode.

There’s very little to complain about with regards to the Gigabyte M28U’s capabilities and design. It is not as feature-packed as the Aorus variants, but you have to remember that you will pay a pretty penny for them. Overall, this is an excellent buy if you want to game at 120Hz or more with the latest gaming platforms without sacrificing quality.
