I have been looking for a budget 1440p monitor. I came across this one on amazon. Free delivery if prime as well. It looks decent enough and for the money doesn't seem bad at all for a 27".

I believe this has been roughly the standard price. I've been tempted a few times to upgrade to this monitor but never pulled the trigger.

Ok price, but I'm pretty certain Amazon have had the price around £200 a few times very recently...so there is a good chance it will dip to about £200 again.

That's fairly easy to check using camel:

My main question is this worth the money. I'm currently using a twin 1080p 24inch monitor setup and was wondering will I see a vast difference in gaming?

Only if your graphics card can push to 1440p at high detail if not stick with 1080p

Recently bought myself an rx 480 8gb. So should be able to push most games to max at 2k

Cheaper elsewhere right now, under £200, not sure about delivery costs though.
Personally I refuse to buy a monitor with a glossy coating, screens are adding various eye protect modes and features to reduce eye strain. This has a stupid glossy frame that can reflect the light directly into your eyes causing eye strain and possible distracting. Might be ok for short sessions, provided no bright lights or sunlight hits the frame....
are you mad? 4k on a tiny little 27inch?
2k on 27inch is cool but 4k is basically a sight test.
yes you can scale windows but not everything scales properly and some 3rd party programs don't scale at all leaving you with tiny unreadable fonts.
