Gigabyte M28U Gaming Monitor with 28″ 4K IPS Panel and 144Hz Refresh Rate
Gigabyte have released details of their new M28U gaming monitor on their website. It’s 28″ in size and features a Super Speed IPS panel offering 3840 x 2160 “4K” resolution. This is combined with a high 144Hz refresh rate, and adaptive-sync for VRR support from both NVIDIA and AMD systems (including FreeSync Premium Pro certification). It features loads of modern connectivity options too with DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC, 2x HDMI 2.1 and USB type-C.
The M28U is advertised on their page as “The World’s first KVM gaming monitor”, but then they have the exact same claim on some of their other screens including the M32Q and M27Q for instance. Which one is the first then Gigabyte? They can’t all take that title! The KVM feature allows you to control multiple devices via one set of keyboard, video and mouse. With a simple KVM button it’s easy to switch inputs as well.
