Excellent screen for the PS5

I bought this screen because I didn't have a 4k screen and having pre-ordered the PS5, I had to buy one. First of all, what pushed me to buy the VG289Q is the value for money. An IPS panel offering 4K 60fps for this price is quite a good deal. I haven't had a chance to see what it looks like on PS5 yet, but when I watch movies the quality is just amazing. I thought 60 fps wouldn't be enough for the PS5 but you have to know that most 4K games will be in 60 fps. So if you're not a pro fps gamer, it'll be fine.

Fine image but horrible contrast

4 days of adjustments to try to obtain an acceptable image, without result, the basic adjustment is infectious and burns the eyes. The sharpness of the image is good, but the contrast is extreme, impossible to find a happy medium except by activating the economy mode (eco) which divides the luminosity by 2 approximately, but this mode poses other problems, in particular in the nuance of colours. I'm not sure if this is a good screen or not, but I'm sure it's a good screen. I'm not sure if this is a good screen or not, but I'm sure it's a good screen and I'm sure it's a good screen. And LDLC to participate in it. I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one.

        Beautiful image

        Very nice picture, good responsiveness, one minor annoyance is that the screen sound cuts out when changing programmes (e.g. switching from Windows to Anno), nothing too serious, just 2 seconds without sound and a black screen.

        Meets expectations

        No particular problems on this model (I didn't test it in extreme situations).
        As always, the ergonomics and clarity of the controls (joystick and a few buttons on the back bottom right of the monitor) could certainly be improved but are rather less bad than on other monitors I have come across.
        Deliveries are getting faster and faster (order on Sunday at 11.40am, delivery on Tuesday at 9.30am)

        Perfect

        The screen is great, fluid, the rendering is excellent, the sound seems like there is no difference between the 1 and the 100 but otherwise great

        This screen is beautiful, simple and easy to install. But most importantly the picture is just GO...

        Apart from the quality of the screen itself, what surprised me the most was the quality of the image, the sharpness of the colours, the precision of the contours of the lines and characters.
        The good surprise is that the external power supply is very small, so no problem to find a place for it.
        The screen is delivered with a Display cable but without a manual, which is easily found in French on the Asus website.
        The only little "problem" I had was to find... the power button of the screen. :-D
        I'm very happy with my purchase, especially at the promotional price.

        Excellent screen, almost retina.

        I had bought a 27 inch 2560×1440 in 144 Hz for 400 euros.
        I saw this one at the same price, 28 inches, 3840×2160 in 60 Hz.
        Not being an ultragamer, I thought 60 Hz would be enough.
        It is.
        The pixels are almost invisible, it's very very close to retina (I replaced my 27 inch retina imac for a mac mini M1 with this screen).
        The picture is beautiful, and the screen is very ergonomic, height adjustment, left/right tilt and up/down.
        I love this screen.

        Nothing to say, perfect for 4k

        Very good screen with incredible colours.
        I was disappointed by the delivery because the screen was in its original box in the Chronopost truck.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a box or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a box or not.
        But good delivery within 1 day with priority delivery

        Using PS5

        I've had it for 3 weeks now, using it on a PS5 I'm really happy with it.
        The image quality is really sublime in 4k, the image is also very fluid, the colours are really pleasant...
        The LDLC service is always very reactive, so I'm not disappointed at all with my purchase.

        New generation console compatible

        Very good screen quality. I only use it for my xbox series x. The screen doesn't handle 120hz but the new generation consoles handle it very badly too and their advert is not valid. I play MW and Cold war and frankly it's 10x better than on a tv (last generation).

        Excellent value for money

        I was looking for a 4K HDR screen to replace my TV which changed rooms, this screen made a great replacement, very good value for money, easy setup and great picture quality.

        I took one point off for the sound system which is really there to say that there is sound but well, that's a flaw that isn't really a flaw.

        PERFECT! BRAVO! LDLC AT THE TOP!

        I am very, very satisfied with my purchase following the advice of the LDLC technician BRAVO
        The screen was delivered in less than 24 hours, ordered yesterday at 1pm and delivered the next day at 11:30am. Again BRAVO
        The PS4 PRO now displays its full power with a breathtaking image.
        I've been using it for a long time now and it's a great way to get the most out of your PC.
        Completely RAVI!!!

        Very good surprise for gamers AND graphic designers

        Bought to be my main screen, with my old Iiyama Gold Phoenix (4k@60, TN panel) as a secondary.
        The first thing that strikes me before even making side-by-side image comparisons is the richness of the colours: they are vivid, contrasting; the whites are both bright and neutral in terms of hue, and the blacks are rather deep (a criterion that counts well for dark games/films). It's not OLED, but it's pretty close!
        The effect is of course exaggerated by the default demo mode, but after a return to classic settings, these qualities remain clearly present without becoming ridiculous.

        After a more direct comparison between the 2 screens, the difference in hues and depth was confirmed: the backlighting of the old screen is slightly bluish, impossible to completely compensate for with the settings and colorimetric profiles. The Asus backlighting is, in my case, completely uniform and neutral in hue, as well as being close to being very close to the switched-off pixel.
        The reds are very noticeably brighter, leaving the secondary ones actually looking closer to orange-red.

        Response time is similar to the TN panel (claimed to be 1ms), if not better in many tests on testufo.com, especially with the TraceFree mode set to 60% (with equivalent setting on the other, not to cheat).
        The 120+ hz screens are necessarily better in this area, but unless you play e-sports, I don't see it being a hindrance for FPS (especially since modern games very often add at least a slight motion blur)

        HDR mode looks decent at best, but I've tested it very little, as it tends to reduce contrast a bit on the desktop and locks all colour settings on the screen. That's the reason for the half star removed.

        In short, I'm happy to have found a screen that is a very good compromise for gaming and graphics.

        Sublime!

        Beautiful screen, received quickly in period post covid in French Polynesia, without encumbers, without dead pixels, in short super what!) I already had an Asus 28" MG28U, well it's night and day in terms of display, colour quality! I'm thinking of reselling the old one and recommending a second one for my work configuration (DTP, image editing, programming....).
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price.

        Very nice screen

        The screen is delivered in a very nice box, the product is well packed. Inside the box are the detachable stand, the screen and a display-port cable. The product is easy to assemble.
        The screen has a very good 4K display. I find it really bright. The settings are easy to adjust and allow you to get the image you want. I am satisfied for my use (Web, photo editing, video games, office automation).
        The audio system of the screen is existing but is really not qualitative, hence one star less.
