D-Sub is short of D-Subminiature which is a physical connector type, which most VGA and serial devices use.

I was thinking it would cost around 100 bucks or even less. But for that price (+ 30 bucks) I got a 240hz refresh rate monitor with gsync from LG. (Sold by Amazon)

D-SUB refers to the actual physical connector. All D-SUB connectors start with “D” for the overall shape of the shroud; the second letter (A-E) indicates the overall size of the shroud, and number is the number of pins. The VGA connector is DE-15, most serial and RS-232 ports are DE-9, etc. There are other letters, mostly denoting the gender (P for pin/plug, S for socket) and other types of D sub connectors, but those were usually for specialized use cases.

The HDR mode is just a different definition of HDR. It means when the colours are outside the range e.g. (R,G,B)510,255,255 it will tone map the values down 255,127,127 instead of clamping the values 255,255,255 (numbers for illustration only).
I would actually love a video on the different definitions of HDR, there are 3 off the top of my head

Super respectable as a business monitor. If they released this back at the start of Covid when people were starting to work from home this would have done absurd amounts of units.

I bought this exact monitor. It's actually much better than I thought it would be. Very responsive picture and nice image quality. Pleasantly surprised.

I have a mildly more expensive AOC 1080p 144hz monitor and I can confirm that:
The OSD is stock standard just like the one on my monitor
The colour accuracy is also very similarly good
And the speakers are...there

This monitor does look very nice, however at the time of writing the KOORUI 24" monitor does seem to have an edge. Up to 165hz (with DisplayPort), IPS, sharp colors, it's not HDR but at its price of $129.99, that's a given.

Technically, D-Sub is the connector and VGA is the implementation ... similar to Thunderbolt using USB-C

Really appreciate when you guys do some reviews of budget options. It's still cool to see the things I can't even dream of ever owning, but it's nice to get some information on the ones I might too.

I got 3 of these a few months ago to put on a monitor arm. I don't game much, but with regards to text and daily usage I've found them to be pretty great for my needs

So this $150 monitor has the same stand adjustments (namely tilt) as a monitor that costs 10x as much, I guess we can let that slide!

I love seeing built in stands like this. I am one who mounts their mac mini to the vesa mount and soooo many monitors have the built in stand in the way or flat out covering it. This looks like it would work

2:57 Ergonomic guides usually say that the top of the bezel should be about level with your eyes, so the height looks pretty much spot on. You're supposed to have your head upright and looking slightly downwards.
Personal preferences of course vary, but this looks like where they should put it by default.

Having three input types is a nice bonus. That would be a great monitor for a test bench because you can connect almost any computer to it. The only thing missing is DVI; if you have an older computer that ONLY has DVI outputs you'll need an adapter (either DVI-A to VGA or DVI-D to HDMI).
It's also a solid choice for an office computer. A lot of the computers that the major brands are making now only have DisplayPort outputs; if you pick up a system like that you can use this monitor with a normal cable. Those speakers are good enough for your basic computer sounds or watching the occasional YouTube video. The wide color gamut and accurate colors will make it a more pleasant experience than many cheap monitors.
As you said, you're not going to want this as your gaming display. But if you want to add a second display to your gaming rig for non-gaming uses it will work well.

For some reason, I find a Amazon Basics monitor is weird to me. There's nothing wrong with it, just Amazon selling big things feels off.

That monitor height actually looks a little tall. For correct ergonomics, the top of the monitor should be in line with your eyes so you’re looking down!

2:30 15 pin D-SUB is the connector type typically used to carry VGA signals. The label on the monitor is technically correct.
