Asus MG28UQ 4K UHD Monitor Released – See Features, Specs and Price

Asus quietly released a new UHD monitor, the Asus MG28UQ 4K Ultra HD. It’s not under their Republic of Gamers brand, but the MG28UQ is a monitor geared towards PC gamers; it feels and looks like it belonged to the ROG lineup as well. The new Asus MG28UQ is basically a 28″ 4K UHD monitor with a resolution of 3840×2160 and features a VESA Adaptive-Sync support and is based on a TN panel. Somehow this monitor reminds me of the recently released AOC U2879VF due to their similarities. More details about the MG28UQ from Asus below.

Price and Availability

Asus hasn’t revealed their suggested retail price of the ASUS MG28UQ 4K UHD monitor yet. But I’m guessing that this would be a sub $500 4K monitor considering that the AOC U2879VF sharing some features (more or less) is just priced at $349.99 USD.
