Question 4

In the specifications for the ASUS VS278Q-P monitor it shows that it has a DisplayPort port input. My video card has a DisplayPort output. But in the picture on the web page that shows the cables it does not show a cable for the DisplayPort port on the monitor. So - you can probably guess my question - does a DisplayPort cable come with this monitor, or not?

Accepted Answer

The monitor came with two cables: a D-Sub (VGI) cable, and an HDMI to DVI port cable. Though it does have a DisplayPort port on the back, it did not come with a cable for it.

Question 5

Are there any threaded holes on the back of the monitor for mounting?  They would likely be located in the center of the back side (I really wish Newegg would start posting photos of the back sides of their products...)

Accepted Answer

Yes - it has VESA compatible mounting holes.  You could mount on a wall, or desk with the appropriate mounting hardware.
I have mine on a Rosewill RHMS-13003 Diamond, 2 Joint Spring Arm.

No this monitor will not play through headphones.

Question 7

I bought this computer with intensions of using it for gaming. Am i gonna regret this decision or am i gonna be highly satisfied?

Accepted Answer

Your question sounds more like boasting rather than being an actual question. If you bought this before posing your question, why ask? Also, this is actually a monitor... Not a computer... So if you're looking to game, you'll have to purchase a computer also. Try desktops or gaming desktops..

Question 8

Does the stand allow you to move the screen to an upright position instead of tilted back all the time?

 This is how I keep it myself!
