It has Gsync and thereby attracts the Nvidia monoploy tax........

​it dropped out of stock last night for a bit.

Why has this been expired? It's still ongoing

Also congrats! I got one too. Can't wait for it to arrive

Updates the description

it's back live again guys :smiley: I got one. It's also gone down to £451.91

How much? :smirk:

No dead pixels or severe back light bleed.

£458.39 now

Sadly at the moment the current scam seems to be create a shop which sells high ticket items at significant price drops, they ask the buyer to contact them before purchasing. They make a spiel about its new/ incoming stock which amazon won't let them sell direct and ask you to give them your details, They send a email appearing from amazon which tries to phish your details and get you to pay through them, since it is not done on amazon systems the buyer has no guarantee and if often left out of pocket. They pop up and get shut down quick enough, but they probably still catch a few people here and there.

Wow I need to brush up on buying from Amazon and marketplace sellers. I once helped a company get started on Amazon. They wanted to know everything from where the product would be sourced, import invoices and taxes. That was a long time ago, I guess they don't bother anymore.

The £350 sold on amazon yesterday was by a seller named Contact me before buying in jumbled up letters, so it was never a real price sadly, otherwise I would of been tempted.

I have a spare ASUS PG278Q that I need to sell, anyone interested?

Amazon reviews?

dammit back to full price!

Can this be wall mounted?

Reviews were pretty grim for it anyway

It was £350 the time of me replying sold by Amazon now gone back up. A Misprice and a missed deal.

I was going to get the Asus 27" version but read loads of bad reviews about the back light bleed on them so went for the Acer version even tho the same panel had less reports of bleed but I'm happy with mine but was a lot of money but goes well with my 1070.

If this is the 2k, 165hz, IPS one it's a cracking price. Paid £600 for fine 4 months ago and love it.

what are peoples views on ultra wides they look great

​indeed i am hoping vega will change that otherwise for me its 1080p/60 or 1440p/30 stll better then the xbox one ect

+1

Not only would the Gsync monitors come down in price, the Nvidia graphics cards might drop a bit too.

Sadly though (other than on a couple of DX12 titles) lacking in grunt are AMD. Nothing to compete with the 1070+. Wish they did, as that might knock Nvidia's pricing down a bit.
Gaming at a decent 'ultra' 1440p/144hz, 4K/60hz and you have to be pretty much tied to Nvidia.
1080p though, the 8gb AMD cards are much better bang for the buck than the GTX 1060 in the long run (driver optimisations etc).

​one of the reasons i bought a amd card free sync cheaper card and monitor's

This or a BenQ XL2720 Zowie?

Goodluck getting it at 350, those low prices lately are recent scams where they give you fake buy now address via email when you contact them as that is what they advise you lol. Be aware.

But yes that is the monitor, also amazon confirmed its ips panel and 165hz or 144hz cant remember which is weird considerin its 4k , will check it once get home from mauritius

Do you mean this one or have found it at better price. This is 4K Acer Predator XB281HK 28 inch @ £350 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB281HK-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B015ZGV34U/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1481021914&sr=1-1&keywords=xb281hk

edit added price

This or xb281hk? :disappointed: 281 advertised as 144+ ips hz monitor but i doubt its true

This or xb281hk? :disappointed:

I bought this monitor earlier in the year and it's freakin' awesome. Best monitor I've had by far. makes my games look and play silky smooth (I have Nvidia cards) well recommend at this price

They haven't sold that for a couple of years now. Was only for the ASUS VG248Q monitor I think.

Good price for a 165hz - the Acer has less bezel compared to the (same panel) Asus.

They included G Sync chip on the spec sheet.
