Excellent price for a 4K monitor, never mind that it is IPS and from a decent manufacturer / supplier with 3 year warranty. Only downside is that I can't find any reviews. However, I have ordered one and will post a review (now in Post #:sunglasses: once I have had a chance to check it out. NOTE: TCB tracked for me at £4.80 reducing the price further. This is a modern 4K design and so natively works at 60Hz unlike some of the older 4K designs which maxed out at 30Hz.

Arrived home and the monitor had been delivered. Am writing this using the monitor at the moment. First impressions as follows:
1. Assembly, pretty easy. Once everything was unpacked, it took less than 3 minutes to assemble the stand and attach the screen.
2. Looks and stand. The stand has a good range of up, down, tilt and swivel adjustments. The screen can be used Portrait and landscape. Everything has a fluid motion and feels well made.
3. Connecting up. The connectors all point downwards and do what was intended of them. No problems inserting the provided Displaylink, audio and power cables.
4. Configuring. The monitor was recognised immediately and I was able to easily set everything up in W10 - 150% scaling, 4k and 60Hz.
5. Picture Quality. I've not really had time to give a considered opinion but have run a few UHD videos, Photoshop and a couple of games. There are no obvious signs of ghosting, backlight bleed is imperceptible and colours look realistic without need for calibration. Whites appear a little grey but I will likely be able to correct it in settings. This is my 3rd IPS monitor and I have no complaints with this one.
6. Sound. The speakers are VERY tinny. Probably the worst monitor speakers I have come across. Maybe I can adjust it in settings but not very impressive.
Obviously the above comments are very much first impressions. However, it's looking something of a bargain at the moment.

Great bargain. I bought my 27" 2K monitor for this much :disappointed:
Bought this the other day. Crap connections but a nice unit. Sits nicely next to my imac and works well via display port

Thanks for the comment. What do you mean by "crap connections" is it that there is only one of each or that they are difficult to access, or something else?

Any idea if it is running 4k @ 60Hz? I'm thinking of this for my MacBook Pro w/ Retina at work.

Extraordinary price for anything 27, IPS, VESA and above 1080.
What's the general feeling on Acer monitors these days though? Historically they used to rate lower than Asus, LG, etc and with a lot of variation between models... so it was hard to identify the good ones.
I'm writing this on 2 of these bad boys. The quality is fantastic for the price. It has DVI, HDMI 2.0 and DP connections, as well as a VESA mount (behind the detachable monitor stand connector plate in the pictures).

Seems like a good deal, very tempted. Has anyone used it for gaming?

If you want a monitor mainly for gaming then you probably shouldn't be looking at an IPS panel. Having said that, it works fine for many games and so it will depend on what sort of games you play. At 4ms, this is about as good as IPS panels get.

BT did a similar deal a month ago and it got reasonably warm but with little feedback on quality.
