Multiple disappointments

When I saw a 24-inch curved gaming monitor for less than $130 I was hooked and quickly bought it, thinking it would be perfect for filling a hole in my system. But when I unpacked, a few dizzying surprises awaited me. 1. There is no DisplayPort connector for your graphics card. Are there only HDMI and VGA? Devil? What self-respecting gamer uses VGA? At least you need HDMI and DVI. But no, that's a step back 20 years. 2: THIS CANNOT BE INSTALLED WITH THE BRACKET. There are two screw holes on the back, which is not a standard configuration for third-party mounts. You must use the included stand unless you want to build a wood or machined rig to mount it to the bracket (I don't. Just give me the four standard holes please).3. 75Hz refresh rate. I'm surprised you can even advertise it as a sub-100Hz "gaming" monitor. Advertising regulators should watch out! *** EDIT It has the 1ms response time that all good gaming monitors should have. But the refresh rate alone makes it slightly better than the average monitor you'd use for everyday tasks. It's not a terrible monitor. But you get what you pay for here.
