Reviewer score 60% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from techradar have found:

The Asus TUF Gaming VG289Q retails at $329 (about £250, AU$460) While it is able to keep up with Rocket League with barely any issues, we did experience some stuttering when playing more graphics hungry games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Doom: Eternal. The monitor also has a stripped-down port selection (only two HDMIs, one DisplayPort, and 3.5mm audio jack)

Pros

Gorgeous 4K resolution
Sharp, accurate colors
Solid build quality

Cons

Slow response time
No HDR10

Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from tomshardware have found:

The Asus TUF Gaming VG289Q works well for SDR gaming, by providing just enough extra color to enhance the image without going too far. The only caveat here is that you'll have to use the full DCI-P3 color gamut with both SDR and HDR content. We found 60% to be the best choice for maximum blur reduction and minimum ghosting.

Pros

Excellent image quality for SDR and HDR gaming
Good contrast

Cons

No sRGB picture mode
No HDR mode
