Asus TUF VG289Q
We can find gaming monitors with 3840×2160 resolution for over $1000. You don’t have to spend so much, as this one lets us see ASUS Monitor sugama game TUFF. It meets the two requirements we have established, being worth less than 400 dollars and having a 4K resolution.
The first thing we have to highlight about this monitor is the size, being of 28 inches and has a IPS panel. This monitor gives us a 100% sRGB color coverage and one 350 nit brightness, both aspects are excellent. But, this monitor has several “problems”, so to speak.
The first thing we don’t like is that it has a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz. This is really a low value if compared with other monitors with lower resolutions. But the problem is that 4K monitors with high refresh rates are very expensive. Moreover, it offers us a 5ms GTG response time,
Account, how could it be otherwise, of support for AMD FreeSync technology. This technology “synchronizes” the response rate of the screen with the amount of FPS offered by the graphics card. He has a DisplayPort 1.2of the HDMI2.0 and two 1.2 W speakers.
Well, it is an acceptable quality monitor, considering that 4K displays with a high refresh rate go over 600 dollars with great ease.
Lenovo L32p-30
Now we come to another interesting option, which includes a few additional elements that make it striking. Lenovo offers us a fairly versatile monitor, designed for gaming and streaming. One of the peculiarities of this monitor is that it incorporates a webcam, which is not common at all.
First, we must point out that this is a monitor of 31.5 inches with a IPS-panel. This monitor gives us a 90% DCI-P3 color coverage, which is in the usual. He has the AMD FreeSync Technologya technology that has become essential in monitors.
Like the previous model, this monitor only offers a refresh rate up to 60Hz. It also loosens the Response timea, which is usually 6 milliseconds, but in “extreme mode” it becomes 4 ms. We couldn’t find any references on how it’s enabled or works.
As we have said, the great peculiarity of this monitor is that it incorporates a 1080p resolution webcam. This element is not common, but it can be very useful if you want to broadcast. In addition, this monitor has a HDMI2.0And DisplayPort 1.2 and one USB-C Gen1 compatible with DisplayPort 1.2. Note that this USB-C connector is designed to connect the webcam to the computer.
We continue with the problem that a 4K resolution gaming monitor with a high refresh rate will always cost more than 600 dollars. It is an interesting and economical option.
BenQ EW3270U
One last interesting option we found is this simple monitor, but it stands out in small aspects. The first aspect that stands out about it is the brand, since BenQ is a well-known brand in the gaming monitor segment. For the rest, it has some interesting things, but it does not differ much from other solutions either.
We start with the most important part, the size of this screen, which is 31.5 inches and uses a VA panel. It’s not the best type of panel on the market, but it still offers 300 nits of brightness and a 95% DCI-P3 color coverage.
It has the same problem as other “cheap” 4K gaming monitors we’ve seen. offers us a 60Hz refresh ratewhich is normal for these monitors and a 4ms GtG response time. Logically, this monitor includes the AMD FreeSync technology, which can never be missed.
This monitor has good connectivity, two of which HDMI2.0And DisplayPort 1.4 and one USB-C. It also incorporates two speakers of 2W each. It’s something interesting if you don’t want to have speakers on the table, so it’s already to see the audio quality they offer.
I have to say that I like all three brands of monitors, but this BenQ has little things that would crack me up, like response time and DisplayPort.
