This 28-inch 4K FreeSync monitor from Asus can track your framerate in games

Asus added another monitor to its growing stable of displays, a 28-inch model with a 4K (3840x2160) resolution and FreeSync support. None of the specs really jump off the page and grab you, though if priced right, this could be an interesting contender.

What's interesting about this monitor is that it is one of a growing number of models to support Asus' GamePlus technology. GamePlus adds a few gamer-centric options to the on-screen display (OSD) controls, including a crosshair to help with aiming, a timer function for RTS games, a display alignment tool to ensure a smooth transition between multiple monitor setups, and perhaps most useful is an FPS counter to track framerates.

Beyond the OSD controls, this is a fairly basic monitor. It does not have a built-in USB hub or speakers, and ergonomics are limited to tilt support (-5 to 20 degrees).

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.2 port. There is also a 3.5mm mini jack.

Asus did not say when the VP28UQG will be available or for how much.
