I have run into this monitor which has great specs and a price.
MicroBoard R270IPS 27" 2560X1440 LG IPS Glare QHD Monitor
It seems to check all the right boxes (LG IPS, 2K, 5 ms, 380 cd/m², etc etc) so I was excited until I read the following:
The display accepts VGA signal but not single-link DVI? What kind of technical barrier blocks the use of port converter, which I assume to be adapters? Why the incompatibility with low-profile video cards or iGPUs?
I am not complaining about the products, but rather want to know why this kind of limits are imposed because I have not know them before.

It seems to check all the right boxes (LG IPS, 2K, 5 ms, 380 cd/m², etc etc) so I was excited until I read the following:
* Port converter CANNOT be used. (D-sub, HDMI, DP converter)
DVI-D(Dual Link): YES / DVI-D(Single Link): NO
** These monitors are NOT compatible with Laptops and Mac computers. Internal GPU, APU and Low profile GPU are not compatible.
2. Use of cable converter, extender, or gender may render the monitor unable to display images normally.
We recommend using the cable that we include in the package.
