The monitor cannot be rotated in portrait format, as the stand only allows height adjustment and a tilt of -5° to +20°, but does not offer a pivot function for rotation into portrait format.
You can connect devices such as USB sticks or other USB devices via the USB port, as the monitor has an integrated USB hub. However, it is not possible to operate a system in the sense of a larger device such as a computer directly via the USB port, as USB is not normally designed for the operation of larger devices. The USB port is used more for peripheral devices or data transfer.
Of course, we cannot speak for all monitors and all suppliers, but with this device here the margin is very modest due to the purchase and the market price in Switzerland is not very volatile.
Connection is HDMI 2.0, so only FullHD resolution works with 120hz
But the resolution of the screen itself is 2k, it won't look nice
Look for one with 4k resolution and HDMI 2.1 connection.
You can connect your mobile phone means it can output max 10 Watt. It's not intended for Notebook charging.
Besides if you attach your mobile phone to that USB-C you can KVM it.
It might gets more clear if you download the User Guide here (7th option from above):

Monitors often have different operating modes in which they have different response times. Often there is a mode that completely kicks the quality to the curb and only focuses on the response time, with a correspondingly large amount of overshoot etc. - the purpose of this mode is merely to achieve the 1ms response times so that the manufacturers can claim them, because nowadays every monitor manufacturer specifies a 1ms response time. Realistically, however, the stated 4ms is more likely for non-OLED displays if you also want to see something on the screen (without overshoot and smearing and so on). 4ms is also a pretty good result as far as that is concerned.
So the 4ms in the text will tend to refer to qualitatively usable operating modes.
I recommend watching the review video of the Gigabyte M27Q from Hardware Unboxed. There, the monitor is analysed in detail and everything is explained in detail.
Dear Galaxus/Digitec team. Could you please include the successor model M27Q-P in your range?
Unfortunately, I can't find any other 27/28'' WQHD gaming monitor with a built-in KVM switch that is suitable for gaming and work than the M27Q-P.
With the M27Q, the pixels are "wrong way round", i.e. BGR instead of RGB, which can make the writing blurry, making the monitor unsuitable for work, especially if you have to work with old or rather special programmes. And this important information should be clearly stated in the product description! The purpose of such a KVM monitor is precisely to be able to switch between gaming and work PC.
The M27Q-P has the pixels the right way round, so no one who wants to work with it should buy the M27Q.
M27Q rev 1.0 is BGR but M27Q rev 2.0 is apparently now RGB. Here is info on the differences between rev 1.0 and 2.0:

Unfortunately, you won't find this on the manufacturer's website, but both revs are listed.
Unfortunately, you won't find any information about whether rev 1.0 or rev 2.0 is supplied by any of the suppliers. I have 2 M27Q monitors myself.
The first one (delivered Feb 2022 by Digitec) is a M27Q rev 1.0. The second one (delivered end of January 2023 by another supplier) is clearly rev 2.0.
You can find out how to tell the difference here:

@digitec: it would be good if you could also specify which rev the monitor is.
No, this is not normal and you don't have to accept it.
