Review on ASUS VG27AQ1A Gaming Monitor: Compatible DisplayPort, 2560x1440p, 170Hz, Swivel & Tilt Adjustment, Flicker-Free, Built-In Speakers by Owoeye Syrene

These are great monitors, especially for the price. Image quality and response speed are excellent. The only complaints: 1. No USB ports. It's my own fault for not checking, but I'm used to most monitors having them. This made it a bit inconvenient to set up the backlight as I had to plug it into an outlet.2. Terrible VESA mount. Yes, they're technically VESA compatible with the hardware provided (although some reviews say that's not the case). You will receive 4 sets of screws and washers. Screw Options: Width A, Long/Short and Width B, Long/Short. Because the VESA mount is recessed, you must use a set of instructions that state you must use longer screws with two sets of washers, including thicker washers that act as spacers to push the VESA mount forward. I understand they did this to make the screen thinner, but there are some fundamental issues. The worst thing, in my opinion, is that removing the VESA monitor mount stand exposes holes for internal hardware. Not the end of the world, but it will likely shorten the life of the monitor as dirt and dust build up inside. Also, the VESA mounting hook is not very easy to access even with gaskets, so it takes a lot of effort to fix it. Luckily the monitors are lightweight, but I was grateful for a second pair of hands during installation to ensure I didn't accidentally drop or move the monitor. Not the end of the world, but poorly designed. I'm sure you can buy a converter or spacer to fix this, but if an item is advertised as VESA compatible it should do so properly. In general, if none of the above matters to you, get monitors. !
