Yes, that's the one - the monitor is an Acer K222HQL. There's also an HDMI cable in the box. Looking up the Specs for the monitor, it only has VGA and DVI (?), but there are some reviews that say it has HDMI as well so possibly Acer do different variants.
There are misleading stickers on the outer box proclaiming 4K resolution and "WQHD", and although the RL85 can do this, the monitor is a standard 1920 x 1080.

The were two on the shelf at Emmerson's Green last night and I bought both of them.
Anybody armed with a small screwdriver and a bit of care will be able to get them apart. It has two standard 2.5" SATA ports one of which has the supplied system drive, a Kingston SSDNOW 60GB model, which could easily be upgraded. It has a DDR3L SODIMM slot which is populated with a Kingston 12800 2GB piece. Could easily be replaced with something bigger, but no second slot. The wireless widget is a slotted-in Qualcomm Atheros so is, again, easily replaced if necessary.
The CPU is, of course, SMT so not replaceable.
It has an internal fan but it's pretty quiet.
No keyboard or mouse but the supplied mini-gadget is actually surprisingly usage when you get used to it.
It runs Windows 10 well; have managed to remove most of the built-in bloatware with minimal pain. Even tried a bit of light 3D gaming.
A full-on bargain IMO especially if you have a use for the monitor.

I bought one and find it to be not to bad a set up for the money. One thing though that is disappointing is the Wi-Fi card it has in it. It is very weak. I think they assume you will use an Ethernet cable with it so have put the cheapest one available in. I have had to stick my spare wi-fi dongle in it just to get some decent performance out of it.

Managed to get myself 2 today
Good little machine and monitor is also good
What I don't get is its says ultra HD on the box
So I have plugged it in to my 4K tv looks great but not 4K tried to change the resolution to 4K but not go above
1080p
Also tried a few 4K clips of my HDD and don't look that good
Did try YouTube and it did let me change setting to 4K and the videos looked fantastic
Over all not a bad machine but will be taking one back

Also the monitor does have HDMI
And when watching YouTube on that it lets you changed to 4K and that also looks great
But cannot be 4K as the monitor is only 1080p
It's a bit confusing lol
