Does this have vesa mounting points? If so what size.

The monitor has the vesa mount standard 100x100mm. You can take this mount > topproducts24com/mounting-dream-md2463/ < I'm very happy with it.

How much better is this compared to the previous vg27aq (155hz model)?

The VG27AQ isn't a "previous model", these are two separate models that are both still being manufactured and offered by ASUS - the VG27AQ features a more advanced IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel whereas the lower priced VG27BQ has what is considered to be an older, lesser technology, a TN (Twisted Nematic) panel that generally has lower quality color reproduction and restricted viewing angles. The benefit of a TN is a faster response time and less smearing, but the newer IPS panels have much better response times than the first few generations. So technically, this monitor is considered to be a step-down in quality, more of a budget monitor than the other one, although both provide excellent value for their feature set. Hopefully this helps answer your question.

Is the included display port cable capable of running the monitor 1440p @ 165/170 Hz?

The included dp cable works fine for me. Looks real nice with HDR and I’m still able to get 170fps on COD Warzone. I honestly can’t feel a difference coming from a 240hz Benq monitor but I can sure see a difference, it’s like night and day
