Be warned some of these will probably be panels that have been returned for bleeding, fading or dead pixels.

Picked up one of these a week ago from amazon warehouse for £228.67. Was shocked when I saw the price but very happy.
Also picked up a Gigabyte Geforce 980ti G1 today for £214.38... just need a second one at this price now.

**** sake man I'm so jelly.
I paid £515 for this monitor last year and £525 for my 980Ti too.
If I saw another Ti for that price you got it, I'd probably go SLI.

I've been keeping a really close eye on the 'graphics cards' section of the warehouse for a 980ti deal like a few people have got but keep missing them evidently! What's the secret?

How'd you get a 980ti that cheap? Cheapest I can find is £300+ on Amazon, even with warehouse deal =(

Didn't see anything wrong with mine at all. In fact it still had stickers on it as if it was brand new. I admit the box looked like it had been opened but it didn't look like the monitor had ever been touched.

Thanks OP, that's my new monitor. Will be listing my 24" AOC 144hz monitor on here when it arrives.

I've ordered one but I really don't know if I should keep it or cancel
I currently have a 1080p 144hz acer xb270h, anybody have any first hand experience on the upgrade from 1080p > 1440, and is gsync really worth it? There's nothing wrong with my monitor so I'm struggling to figure out if its worth the upgrade.

If you've got a 980Ti or 1070 then it's good. G-sync is worth having for the elimination of lag, particularly at the lower frame rates of the supported range. If your card is weaker than those you're not going to be able to get anywhere near 144 fps most of the time on new games but the G-sync will be beneficial.

I went from 23 inch with a 1156 vertical resolution and for me, the resolution jump and the screen size boost are well worth it. The bezel on this screen is tiny so that's also a bonus.
The sugar on top for me was G-Sync and 3D Vision. I do have to wait for my 980ti to arrive but like I say, those last two were sugar on top.
Almost forgot to mention the 144hz feature too. Seriously good value for money.

Thought this was the ips version for a moment :disappointed:

Me too. There was the predator ips 165hz version for £350( before student discount) the other day but there was only one and I missed it :disappointed:
I don't want to go back to TN panels.
£300 for a used one of these, whilst sounds good compared to the rrp, is still overpriced in my opinion.

It also depends on the size of the screen. A 24" 1080p screen won't look dramatically different than a 27" 1440p screen but it will look better on the latter still.
To best describe going from a 23" 1080p to a 27" 1440p I'd say that games just looks crisper and you can see more finer detail. I think 1440p is a great 'sweet spot' between ultra high resolutions and what is slowly becoming low resolutions (1080p and below).
As for G-Sync, it is totally worth it. It's essentially like playing in borderless full-screen but without the microstutter you can get. It can also make some games running at around 45 FPS respond similarly to around 60 FPS. AC Syndicate is one of them I noticed felt really responsive at 45 FPS in G-Sync.
I can't recall the technical details as to why, but at around 45 FPS, G-Sync shines.
