The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers height adjustment up to 130mm, tilt by -5°/20° and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.
The entire materials provided herein are for reference only. GIGABYTE reserves the right to modify or revise the content at anytime without prior notice. In short, you’re not getting the true HDR viewing experience (as expected from a 4K 144Hz monitor at this price range), but some scenes will look a bit better thanks to the display’s wide color gamut, a small boost in brightness, and at least some form of local dimming.It does have AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro certification, so compatible games will get better HDR tone and gamut mapping. I've done a little testing of it, and there is one catch - it still can't do 4k@120Hz 4:4:4. It does 4k@60Hz 4:4:4, but when I ran it at 120Hz Chroma subsampling was definitely enabled. It still looked great and I would never have noticed without a test image (and even then, the pathological case text was still very much readable, just not totally sharp), but it does mean the only way to avoid chroma subsampling at the full refresh rate is to use DisplayPort (and that requires DSC to achieve the full 144Hz). At some point I would like to try and figure out at what refresh rate precisely the chroma subsampling is enabled, but I've yet to spend time on that.
When I got the monitor though, I noticed the OSD has a 'Type C' input - and sure enough, I was able to connect my work machine and use it for video in addition to peripherals, so despite the fact it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere officially, this actually supports DP alt mode! Display Resolution 3840x2160 4K UHD, Display Size 28", Refresh Rate 144Hz (120Hz consoles), Adaptive Sync, 1ms Response Time, Contrast Ratio 1000:1, Panel Type SS IPS, Height Adjust, Tilt, HDCP 2.3 PCコンポーネントの最高のパフォーマンスを引き出してくれるのです。 GIGABYTEのゲーミングディスプレイは、究極のスペックと品質を提供します。皆さんは贅沢を必要とせずに最高のパフォーマンスを楽しむことができます。The real toss-up to consider before purchasing the M28U, then, is whether to buy a 4K, 16:9 panel or an ultrawide. The former has the pixel advantage, and you know your games will look incredibly detailed and crisp, but the latter may mitigate some of the performance load on your GPU while maintaining plenty of real estate for gaming and productivity. It's a tough call, and I think you can make a great case either way. Then there's the stand. There had to be some cost-cutting with a monitor at this price point, and the stand has taken the brunt of it. It's sturdy, and so it's practically all it needs to be, though it's limited in its movement to just height and tilt adjustments. It's also a little bit cheap looking, and the underside relies on pads that are glued on for grip to the desk. On my review sample these pads have already started to peel away with the small adjustments I've made over time, and may end up having to be replaced just to keep the screen steady. Not run into any issues yet but have noticed a new firmware update is available already but not updated it yet. The M28U offers a rich canvas for gaming not just in picture quality, however, but also in response and refresh rate.
Great Deal
