Product Overview

Gigabyte M28U is a mainstream 29-inch 4K gaming monitor in Gigabyte's 2021 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel.

Notably, this monitor supports HDR up to DisplayHDR 400. In terms of color reproduction, one can expect above average performance. The included stand comes with tilt and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.

Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.
