The monitor stand includes a threaded mount on the top of the stand. It can be used to attach a peripheral like a webcam, microphone, or LED light, and it’s a useful feature for streamers and other video content creators. You’ll likely need a spacer or adjustable mount to use it, however, because the top of the display will block a peripheral mounted here unless the stand is adjusted to its lowest height. 

The Asus XG27AQDMG monitor stand includes a threaded mount at the top, designed to attach peripherals such as webcams, microphones, or LED lights. This feature is particularly beneficial for streamers and video content creators. However, users might need a spacer or an adjustable mount, as the top of the display could obstruct the peripheral unless the stand is set to its lowest height.

Despite some compromises in the stand’s design, it offers versatility. The monitor itself maintains a familiar structure, featuring a remarkably thin panel with a passive cooling design. To maintain a sleek appearance, Asus employs an external power brick. The monitor's components are housed in a back panel that extends from the display, concealed behind the monitor. This housing includes an ROG logo illuminated with RGB lighting, providing bias lighting. The monitor offers dual USB 3.2 Gen-1 Type-A ports but lacks USB-C and power delivery options. A KVM switch is also absent. However, the stand includes a quarter-inch mount for attaching a tripod head, light, or other accessories.

Port options are straightforward, with a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection and dual HDMI 2.0 ports. Although some users may be disappointed by the absence of HDMI 2.1, the current ports suffice for running the monitor at its full resolution and refresh rate.
