• Also audio out / headphone jack in many variants.

Design / Ergonomics

• Tilt adjustment: from about −5° up to +20°.

Eye Care / Comfort Features

Variants / Differences

• Older VG271U (non‑M3) typically 144 Hz.

• “M3” version extends to 180 Hz via DisplayPort. Also some difference in brightness or colour gamut depending on region.

Limitations / What to Consider

• Although labelled “HDR”, HDR brightness & performance is modest compared to true high HDR monitors; may not strongly benefit from HDR in darker scenes.

• Basic stand (no height / swivel) limits ergonomic flexibility unless using VESA mount.

• For getting full refresh rates (180 Hz etc.), need DisplayPort or correct HDMI version, and capable GPU.

• Some users report panel issues like flicker, IPS glow or bleeding in dark scenes. (Common complaint in such monitors.)

• Colour depth in some variants is nominal (8‑bit + FRC) rather than true 10‑bit.
