Product Note
The VY279HGR is a Full HD 120Hz monitor, not a 144Hz or higher-refresh-rate model. The 1ms MPRT figure is a motion-response rating and should not be interpreted as a 1ms GTG specification. The stand provides tilt adjustment only. Ports and included accessories may vary by region, so confirm the exact regional SKU and package contents with the supplier before ordering.
