Gigabyte M28U 28 Inch SS IPS 4K/UHD (3840 x 2160) 144Hz FreeSync Premium Pro Gaming Monitor

Product Information

I was recently made aware that the Gigabyte M28U 4K@144Hz monitor was 1) out now, 2) actually available (at least in Australia) and 3) a little over half the price of its competitors (e.g. the LG GN950), which you can't actually buy anyway because we live in the end times. There are also advanced image adjustment tools available, including sharpness, gamma, color hue/saturation and color vibrance. With a peak brightness of 300-nits, the Gigabyte M28U can get more than bright enough under normal lighting conditions, while the static contrast ratio amounts to around 1,000:1, as expected from IPS panels. It does have AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro certification, so compatible games will get better HDR tone and gamut mapping.

As an unseen player, monitor is often being underestimated. The truth is monitors form as a synergistic effect and bring out the best performance of PC components. GIGABYTE gaming monitors offer the ultimate specifications and quality, users can truly enjoy upscale performance without the need for extravagance. The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers height adjustment up to 130mm, tilt by -5°/20° and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. This scaling issue is largely mitigated when gaming, at least. In those terms, the M28U is a superb size for pixel density and detail to shine through without overpowering the desktop, and next to my 32-inch monitor it feels far less imposing. If a little less immersive for it.

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.Advertised performance is based on maximum theoretical interface values from respective Chipset vendors or organization who defined the interface specification. Actual performance may vary by system configuration.

FreeSync and HDMI 2.1 VRR are supported up to 144Hz (48-144Hz range) for tear-free gameplay. While the monitor is not certified as G-SYNC Compatible by NVIDIA, you can use VRR with compatible GeForce cards without issues. The Gigabyte M28U also supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) and has VESA’s DisplayHDR 400 certification. When playing HDR content, the monitor gets a boost in peak brightness to ~400-nits for more vivid highlights. Moving on, the Gigabyte M28U boasts a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed for minimal ghosting behind fast-moving objects.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!

The colors are rich and consistent; the gamut is equivalent to ~120% sRGB, so you get some over-saturation for added vibrancy when viewing regular sRGB content. The Gigabyte M28U monitor is based on an IPS panel by Innolux. It boasts 178° wide viewing angles for flawless image quality regardless of the angle you’re looking at the screen, as well as a wide 94% DCI-P3 color gamut.

There are five response time overdrive modes: Off, Smart OD, Picture Quality, Balance, and Speed. All five modes are rather aggressive as they can cause some overshoot, so we recommend using the ‘Off’ mode for the best results. There was one thing that surprised me though - the spec sheet for this monitor (and online listings) do advertise it as having KVM functionality, and as such it has a USB Type C port. However, its listed signal input support is listed as being 1xDP1.4 with DSC and 2xHDMI2.1 (and a note for anyone buying, there are big asterisks around "HDMI 2.1" - it doesn't actually support 4K@144Hz 4:4:4; while I haven't tested myself, it will apparently have chroma subsampling over the HDMI ports!). 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.HDMI、HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interfaceという語、HDMIのトレードドレスおよびHDMIのロゴは、HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc.の商標または登録商標です。
