ASUS VP28UQG

Best 4K 60 Hz Monitor for Radeon RX 6800 & 6800 XT

Brand	ASUS
Display Technology	LED
Connectivity Technology	HDMI(v2.0) x2, DisplayPort 1.2, Earphone jack : 3.5mm Mini-Jack
Hardware Interface	HDMI
Screen Size	28 Inches

Another solid option for enjoying the full power that the Radeon RX 6800 and Radeon RX 6800 XT can muster, is a monitor with a 4K resolution at 60 Hz. Best for those looking to enjoy triple-A titles, the ASUS VP27UQG offers amazing performance at an exceptionally low cost.

It has a 28-inch screen with a brightness level of 300 nits, a TN panel that has a bit depth of 10 bits, and a W-LED backlight that can display well over one billion colors (100% sRGB). Due to its TN panel, the ASUS VP27UQG has incredibly low input lag. It has a Motion Picture Response Time (MPRT) of only 1 millisecond and an end-to-end input lag as low as 27.4 ms. For those that love challenging, timing-dependent, single players titles, this monitor is a perfect choice.

The ergonomics here are not as robust as the aforementioned options, as this monitor lacks height adjustment, swivel, and landscape/portrait pivot. It does include two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DP 1.2 slot, and one audio-out jack – as well as all the AMD and ASUS exclusive features found in the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ (including SPENDID Video Intelligence Technology and Trace Free Technology).

To make up for its lack of its ergonomics, ASUS VP27UQG has an incredible price, as it can currently be found for only $313.99.
