Just get a monitor arm. Problem solved I started using them and will never go back.
Yeah. Might be the route I go. Just kinda wild that some companies can release reasonable sized ones with a 32". But as soon as it's a gamer monitor it has to have giant fangs

I hate when they advertise HDR, but the thing can't even get brighter than a regular monitor. The tech spec on Asus's website says it's max brightness is 300nits. Which is a normal non-hdr monitor, so the only HDR things about this is that it can accept HDR10 signals and then convert it to basically SDR to display on-screen.

Gaming monitors may have beefier components, making them front-heavy.

If you like companies that honor their warranty, and don't want to end up with a $1400 brick like I did...
No offense to the OP, or any luckier Asus fans, but FYI / FWIW - My 4/16/2025, Asus Vivobook S 15 review on Best Buy:
I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death. The Geek Squad "FIXED it" THREE times, but shortly after I got it home, same thing, BSOD!
Sent it into the ASUS service center, and when I got it back 15 days later, got BSOD twice within 4 minutes.
They said the warranty does NOT include any replacements or refunds.
I will never buy another ASUS product. And will avoid buying from Best Buy also.
April 25 EDIT: I talked to the Best Buy store manager yesterday, hoping that they could step up & help a loyal customer out. Nope! But he did take this opportunity to tell me that I should have bought their ($180) Total membership plan (within 1 or 2 weeks of purchase), so that I might have been eligible to have gotten store credit or exchange. No, I don't think I will.

Same price at Wmart. Monitor was released in Feb apparently. Must be too new, no reviews for VG27UQ1A
