The AOC U2879VF delivers breathtaking picture quality in a cinematic 16:9 format on the large 28-inch screen. HDMI 2.0 offers added bandwidth optimized for viewing gorgeous, detailed 4K content. Gamers and film fans will appreciate the ultra-fast 1ms response time, 60Hz refresh rates and FreeSync™ technology for fast-paced action without tearing, stuttering or ghosting. In addition to captivating entertainment, the expansive screen real estate and accurate color reproduction are also perfect for design and video editing projects, plus you can easily split the screen into multiple viewing panes to boost your multitasking capabilities.
Good price, but the input lag is huge at 87ms! I had a Dell which was 60ms and it was returned very quickly; it was distracting immediately from desktop and video use, let alone gaming. Some are not as susceptible to input lag as others, so it want affect all, though I suspect the majority of gamers would notice 87ms.
IMO manufacturers should be quoting lag in specs as I believe it's more important than response time. At 60Hz your 5 frames behind!

I did Flubit on this at Amazon earlier this week and got it for £255 delivered. Worth a try

Yeah seems surprisingly high but then again looking at all those charts if you go with 4K that seems to be par for the course as most of these monitors, so if online multiplayer games are your thing then 4K's not quite there but anything else should be fine.
The reason why posted this is that similar spec'd 4K monitors easily cost £100 or more on average to begin with and don't even support HDMI 2.0 so they're limited to 30Hz over HDMI.

Yep, if it weren't for the input lag I'd have been tempted. Other options like the Asus PB287Q and Samsung U28D590D are better in terms of lag, but cost £100 more and are criticised in other areas. They also don't have HDMI 2 so you would need to use DP to get more than 30Hz. Still waiting for the right monitor to appear on the market!

Freesync - Check
4K - Check
Gaming on this monitor - Oh it's a gaming monitor and you can't game on it at 4K because the input lag is useless.

It's such a shame that you have to completely tie yourself down to either amd or nvidia now.
