Q: what's the refresh rate

A: The refresh rate is 83 HZ.

Q: 4K support

A: It only supports Full HD 1080p; 1920x1080

Q: Does this require a tower or computer with it, or can it be used as a stand alone monitor for gaming and browsing the web? For example if I buy just this can it be used normally?

A: It's got all the normal connection ports, etc...no tower needed, but it'll need something attached. It doesn't have any intelligence within it.

Q: Remote included with this?

A: VS278Q does not come nor does it require a remote control. The volume can be adjusted by simply going to the monitor's On Screen Display's System Setup option. Please feel free to download the .pdf manual: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LCD%20Monitors/ASUS_VS278_UserGuide_English.pdf

Q: I will use a 3 monitor set up for pc gaming, can 3 of these monitors be daisy chained together for the surround experience I want to achieve? Please see the attached photo of where the monitors will be used. Thanks for your help.

A: The ability of what can be displayed on the monitors is purely a function of what is sending video data to them. If you have a computer which is capable of sending out three signals in a panoramic orientation as shown, then you should be fine. There is no software built-in to the monitors that would allow you to share or split the image across monitors. That is purely a function of what is running on the computer(s) that are sending video signal to the monitors.

Q: is this screen coming with camera and speakers?

A: This monitor comes with speakers but does not have a camera. The full specs can be found here. https://www.asus.com/us/Commercial-Monitors/VS278QP/specifications/
