I was looking at ebuyers clearance section, noticed an ex-display monitor and then saw that a brand new one of these was £5 more. I mostly bought this because I like the stand...
Cons as far as I see it - not IPS, 1080p (general consensus seems to be 27" should be >=1440p), and not g-sync (obviously not for this price)
Pros - 144Hz (using HDMI2.0, displayport), curved, freesync (if you use it) and PRICE! (£80 off, can't see it cheaper anywhere else)

Pretty good on 27" though.

I bought this monitor from Ebuyer last week. I am very happy with the quality and performance. It is fast enough to keep up with the refresh rate demands at 144hz. It uses the new Samsung SVA panel. It is almost the same as the Acer Z271 but without Gsync. Z271 Review
Some good points are good contrast 3000:1 so blacks are good. It is a true 8 bit panel so has better colours than TN. It doesn't suffer from IPS glow. It has 2 display port and 2 HDMI 2.0 connections so 144hz can work over HDMI.
somebody better comment what's wrong with this one before I buy it

Try to find something negative but aside from the curving this appears to be a bargain as the only other good alternative is the AOC 27" G2770PF which sells for ~£250 and is a TN panel.

It's curved and 1080p which at this screen size will look really low resolution. On the other hand it's pretty darned cheap!

Not a fan of curved monitors but still looks a good price.
I'd prefer 1440 at this size but sorely temped, I'd say great deal.

Great deal and I was going to post this myself when looking around. It's just no g-sync and only that put me off but heat added.
Another option for £60 more but has G-Sync Overclockers

Terrible customer service, avoid.

How would this look low res, I've got a 35" ultrawide curved at 2560x1080, so similar but it's no way a low picture quality
