New gaming range from AOC, 1440p 27" 144hz and 1ms TN panel, but a decent one, read the reviews! 3 year warranty.
Freesync compatible for those with AMD GPU and it looks the part. Lowest price ever on Amazon and appear to be pricematching OCUK, minus the £12 postage!
Says 1-2 months but we all know with Amazon it will likely be much sooner.

Your comment was just as unnecessary as his though, no need to be such a tool.

The response thing is total BS.
A good IPS panel has a 4ms refresh. The FUD spreaders point it this is four time the TN panels, but it's utterly irrelevant.
If you can refresh a screen in 4ms, you can refresh it 250 times every second. That's about double the frame rate you're going to get in game.
I went from a TN panel to a modern IPS panel and the refresh rate change is completely imperceptible. People just use it as an excuse for their cheaper panel.

Fury runs 1440p fine.
But the 480 will, depending on the title and level of detail, so not strictly true.
As for Gsync, I agree and this was the sole factor I stayed on the AMD bus. It annoys me as there's absolutely no reason NVidia couldn't also be compatible with Freesync other than for the fact they have disabled it in the driver... Dumb.

For those voting cold, please let me know of a 1440p 144hz 27" 1ms freesync monitor that's cheaper please.
I've bought one of these and so am genuinely interested in saving money if there's something equivalent for less!

Q4 2017/2018 I'll probably opt for a 4k once decent gaming refresh rates and GPU's capable of running it are more widely available.
Will still get a decent price second hand on this part of thing. Something like 85% of gamers are still 1080p.

Nice, just find it odd that AMD's latest generation of gpu's don't have the power for this resolution at high fps without going crossfire. I wish you could get a similar G-Sync for this price

Yeah the Fury can but its not the latest generation, where is that 490 or 490X?

Well it's the latest generation in so much as there still isn't a replacement for that product line of HBM cards.

But I know what you're getting at.
