The product, explained
About the ASUS VG28UQL1A
ASUS 90LM0780-B01170 is listed in the computer monitors category. The recorded specifications include display diagonal: 71.1 cm (28"); display resolution: 3840 x 2160 pixels; panel type: IPS; maximum refresh rate: 144 Hz. This entry covers manufacturer code 90LM0780-B01170. Specifications relate to this exact source record; other editions or packages may differ.
The 71.1 cm (28") display is specified at 3840 x 2160 pixels. Consider these together: a larger screen provides more physical space, while resolution determines the number of pixels available. Neither specification establishes brightness, colour accuracy or motion quality.
The listed maximum refresh rate is 144 Hz. To use it, the source device, cable, resolution and input must all support the intended mode. Refresh rate is separate from response time and input lag.

Check the match
Identify the exact model and the version reviewed. Check the manufacturer code, configuration and supplied accessories.
Compare on one scale
Convert usable ratings to five points, count each publisher once and give each critic equal weight.
