Hello cz.woody! True, the assumption about the part with the Asus logo is correct. It is the connector between the monitor and the VESA mount and is included with the monitor. I mounted this exact monitor on my desk via VESA. As for your questions about the monitor itself, it's a matter of taste. The fact is that this device is a gaming monitor. Point. My personal opinion is that it can be a stylish monitor for an office. The built-in KVM switch is definitely a feature that can make life on a PC (or several) easier. Ultimately, you have to find out for yourself whether the monitor is right for you and what you mainly want to use it for. I personally tried the monitor both for working on the PC and for gaming and I can't actually confirm the things you've heard. Under Windows 10 I didn't notice any discoloration of the font, no blurring in the native resolution or any other discrepancies. And the same applies to Linux too. My graphics card is a powerful RTX 4080 from Asus with the latest drivers. Things look a little different when it comes to gaming. The colors are sometimes quite exaggerated. It's all a question of the settings on the monitor. I'm still trying it out myself. If you still have doubts, you can watch product demonstrations and videos on YouTube on inet or you have a store nearby where the monitor is currently on display.

Yes.

the PIP/PBP mode has several configurations. You can configure the PIP size in same even.

I can't answer the question about the second generation. However, I have returned the screen because it doesn't meet my requirements. It may be good for gaming, but I can't use it for employees working with Windows/Office - the menus give a blurred impression and a closer look reveals a red shadow under the text. This cannot be caused by my graphics card, because the phenomenon can already be observed when plugging the screen into the mains (230VAC), i.e. without connecting the PC, when displaying the content generated by the screen itself, as well as when displaying the on-screen menus for setting various parameters. It is incomprehensible to me that the screen is praised to the skies in the test reports. Of course, colours/contrast and brightness are really the very best, certainly good for entertainment (but I haven't tried it out), but as I said, not pleasant for working.

The resolution is not 4K/5K. The name used is DQHD.

I bought the "Ergotron HX HD monitor arm with patented CF technology (table, 49")", which may hold the weight without any problems, but the table should be stable enough and longer cables (3m in my case) are necessary if they are to be "laid" in the arm.

Asus defines the panel as "anti-reflective", so it won't be very glossy.
