he MG278Q shares a similar stand to the ROG Swift PG278Q, rather than the MG279Q, though it lacks the LED illumination options for the red ring which the Swift has. The bezel, on the other hand, is closer to the MG279Q in that it is fairly thick and uniform all the way around unlike the Swift PG278Q which has a slim bezel design.
Asus delivers once again on functionality with a robust and flexible stand that has a full suite of adjustments - height, tilt, pivot and swivel. To top things off, Asus also allows users to detach the provided stand and install a VESA 100mm-compatible mount of their choice.
I/O connectivity covers all the major display inputs including DisplayPort (necessary for FreeSync), HDMI 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and dual-link DVI. A USB 3.0 hub and pass-through cable is provided as well as audio-in and out jacks.
