While not mandatory for DisplayHDR 400 certification, the M28U also has localized dimming. However, there are only 8 zones that dim parts of the screen that needs to be dark. So, you’ll only see benefits from it when dark and bright objects are far apart. Moving on, the Gigabyte M28U boasts a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed for minimal ghosting behind fast-moving objects. That's all starting to change, though, as the Gigabyte M28U proves by its superb value and excellent 4K feature set. 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! 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.
In short, you’re not getting the true HDR viewing experience (as expected from a 4K 144Hz monitor at this price range), but some scenes will look a bit better thanks to the display’s wide color gamut, a small boost in brightness, and at least some form of local dimming.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!).
Then there's the stand. 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. 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.It does have AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro certification, so compatible games will get better HDR tone and gamut mapping. Como um jogador invisível, o monitor costuma ser subestimado. A verdade é que os monitores se formam como um efeito sinérgico e trazem o melhor desempenho dos componentes do PC. Os monitores de jogos GIGABYTE oferecem as especificações e qualidade mais recentes, os usuários podem realmente desfrutar de um desempenho de alto nível sem a necessidade de extravagância.
