293.50 was a good deal for this but this is an astonishingly low price for an ultra HD monitor. Probably near the best value for this type of screen atm.
Comes with 3 years of warranty too

Titan X Pascal can bare get 60Hz on stock clocks...
For people thinking of buying 4k at 27", be preferred to increase scaling in Windows.
Sweet spot for 4K seems to be 32" and above.
And good luck trying to find a GPU that will power it at decent settings/frames without taking out a mortgage :wink:

Surprising lack of reviews, did anyone actually buy it last time it was on offer?

Agreed. Cheap but the lack of reviews puts me off

I just got the 24" version of this model, i was also concerned by the lack of reviews.
Thankfully i was pleasantly surprised. Acer seem to have finally stepped up their game and this is actually a really decent monitor, far better than i was expecting.
Solid build quality, nice & sharp & clear clean with decent colour. Only downside is the speakers which are pretty horrible quality but then again i don't intend to use the monitor for audio so it's not a problem.

With the lack of reviews I just have to ask you, is it any good for gaming?

it'll be 60hz, they can't undercut the predator screens by having this 144hz/165

Are there any 4k screens that go above 60Hz yet? Or any GPU's capable of driving that? Or even a cable that can do 4k at more than 60Hz? You need HDMI 2.0 or Displayport 1.2 just to get to 4k 60Hz.

4k is pretty limited benefit at 27 inches, I'd go 1440p max at that size.

980ti is dropping in price now, and will do OK with 4k. But you won't be running everything on max, but it should be decent on most games. Same with the 1070. Not sure which is cheaper?
But you realty want a 1080 to do 4k justice. Or a Titan if you have money to burn.
I'm on a 980ti at the moment so waiting for 1080ti. Standard 1080 doesn't feel like enough of a jump to me (given the cost) and the Titan is silly money.
