Question What is the difference between Modern MD271PW and PRO MP271P?

[SomeGuyonTHW]

Spec-wise (from manufacturer's website) they are completely the same, except the MD271 one has Type-C port, which is nice (idk if I'm gonna use it)
Are the panels used the same too what could be the difference?
which one should I get? I need some advice!

The MD271 doesn't have a black version available even though I like black more.
also the MD271 doesn't seem to have any holes for ventilation (do you consider that a con?)
Both designs look good enough, which one would you get? they are priced very similarly also.

You can assume that the panel is the same. Same exact specs overall, but the MD one has a USB-C video out. The only other difference I can find are that the speakers are a 2 Watt total instead of a 4 Watt total. The MD one comes in black too, but is then called the MD271P (simply without the W).

Price difference can change depending on your location, the difference over here is about 45 dollars, making it not worth it going for the more expensive variant just for the USB-C video out port.

Oh so, I'm probably getting the white MD one then, it looks more modern also has won a "reddot 2021" award (idk what it means but not all monitors advertise it so.. might be special ¯\(ツ)/¯ )
price difference for me is weird, MD one is actually around 10 USD cheaper!

Please don't let the Red Dot Design award affect your choices, ever. It's literally a design award, doesn't have anything to do with how it may function. More info on Red Dot here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dot

And the price difference honestly makes sense. The MP one should be the more expensive one, so pricing might just be a bit messed up where I live.
