The monitor has a handy joystick to navigate relatively quickly through the OSD settings, allowing users to switch display parameters with a flick of a finger, including multiple color adjustments. A lot can be tweaked to your preference. The buttons and joystick on the back side are accompanied by icons on the front side, so you know what to push at what location. As insignificant as that may seem, lots of manufacturers don't label the buttons and, trust me, it's a flurry of random presses in trial and error.
The monitor has limited connections, ASUS needs to step that up with their premium monitors. You have to manage with one HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4 and a set of USB 3.0 connectors leading from a HUB connection. For 144Hz+ / 3440 x 1440 you will need to use the DisplayPort connection based on high bandwidth requirements.
The ROG SWIFT PG35VQcomes with a separate power adapter/brick, included in the packaging is an HDMI and DP cable, USB 3.0 cable, manual and smaller RoG kit like a pouch and a welcome card. The bag holds the lenses and RoG logo cover for the bottom side projection.
