What about the silver surfers?
I've found that resolution and size is perfect for the older generation of people I support - the ones who are finding HD on a 22-24 inch monitor almost unusable without bumping up the font size.
It makes everything BIG which is what they need, without screwing up other attributes of the GUI.

It is if you don't want to have to start using scaling in Windows to make things readable

If you had took the time to search for the correct mfg model number (which I clearly pointed out) you might have noticed the one you linked to is different.
The part number on the ebuyer page is UM.HW3EE.010, (they may have got this wrong - don't shoot the messenger), but for this model Acer states 4ms (thank you):
6ms response time, so maybe not ideal for gaming? Still a very good price for 27" HOT

Amazon and the Acer page both state 4ms for the model number (UM.HW3EE.010). ebuyer does state 6ms, but I will assume Acer know better.

27" at 1080p isn't pleasent. Good price though.

Huh? I went from 24" 1080p to a 27". It's much better.

It's all relative. For someone with good eyesight sat a typical distance it doesn't look incredible but it's ok. Sit a little further back to enjoy a movie or game and honestly a higher resolution looks no better. "Retina" level display is just a matter of distance for a given eyesight level.
Also for a slightly older user, like say my parents who set Windows scaling to 150% on a 24" 1080p monitor, this is pretty much perfect.
I've got the KA270H and honestly I've been really happy with it. Sure 1440p would look a lot better, but factor cost in and I'd sooner pay a little more than a 24" 1080p monitor to have something I can sit back from and keep waiting for a good price on an ultrawide curved.

in my view 27" is firmly in the 1440p area.

True, only if you are gaming mainly.

Decent price , same applies not really worth going 1440p @24"
24" more suitable @ 1080p above go 1440p or higher
Still a good deal
but you would be better of getting a 1080p monitor at a smaller size for under £100
