Unfortunately that's the only adjustment the stand offers as there's no way to rotate the panel for portrait orientation or to adjust the height. Tilting it requires just the right amount of effort, and once it's set to a comfortable position, it stays put. It can be tilted 15 degrees forward and five degrees back, a range I found quite comfortable with my current office setup. The stand is sturdy and putting it together doesn't require any tools since it snaps together. The top part of the monitor itself is quite slim, but the trade-off for its slim profile is that it uses an external power brick, but it's thankfully small and unassuming, making it easy to tuck away. The filter covering the screen stretches just a millimeter or 2 from the edges, but it's an illusion as the actual bezel is closer to 5 or 6 millimeters. When the monitor is turned off, it tricks you into thinking its bezel is smaller than it actually is. The XG270HU is an attractive, light monitor with metallic copper accents on the stand and at the bottom of the monitor itself, making it resemble its smaller sibling the GN246HL. The XG model I'm looking at its its midrange 1440p model with FreeSync and 144Hz refresh rate, and there's also a similar model with the XB designation that has G-Sync as well if you're on the green team. Compared to the Predator line you get fewer features for a lot less money, as the XG270HU is just around $440 on Amazon and £415 on Amazon UKcompared to a similarly equipped Predator model at $778.

The XG/B series is the company's midrange monitor line with more emphasis on gaming than its entry-level models, but also a step below the company's high-quality, high-priced Predator series.
