Looks like a good deal. I recently bought a 144Hz display, seems to give a more solid picture.

Dammit just bought two of them last week :disappointed:
Regardless they're really nice monitors, 144Hz with good colours and the curve, even though I hate it on TVs, works really well on a monitor at this size and distance, liked it so much so that I bought two of them and replaced my AOC G2460PG 24" 144Hz Gsync monitor.
The downside is that the blacklight uniformity isn't great, there is a lot of it bleeding out but cant really tell when playing games.

Looks nice but 1 problem... only 1080p... want to see 2k/4K screens now

Good price but yes, not being 1440p or above is its downfall.

Well Acer does make one but it's more than double the price, which I was contemplating but in the end I'd rather have two of them.

3x the price if you want 1440/144/gsync!

GSync is a waste of money, almost all monitors with it only come with a single DP port and no speakers but more importantly it becomes useless at high frame rates, above 80, as tearing will disappear or is imperceptible. It is only useful atm if you play at 4K and getting 30-60FPS.
My advice is just get a good responsive 144Hz monitor and invest the money you've saved on a graphics card that will give you those nice high frame rates.
