I saw the BenQ model on offer at the moment for £10 less, although this is a nice alternative if you prefer an IPS panel and aren't too fussed about the extra 1" - Built in speakers too.
I know some will say "You need 1440p minimum on a 27" monitor" Although not everyone has the GPU power to support those higher resolutions, especially for gaming, so it's good to have something that would do the job nicely.
It is a bit of a trade-off based on what you want really and personally I like IPS screens, probably because I'm so used to it. Going back to a TN panel probably wouldn't be a smooth transition. I reckon the VA Panels are a nice middle ground though. You know what you like/want anyway :smiley:

For gaming.. Steam Hardware & Software Survey from April 2017 , 47% still using 1080 as a primary resolution.. 1440 barely makes it into single digits.. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=pc
Not saying everyone uses steam of course..

Running 1080p is fine. It's still the benchmark standard for PC gaming and 1440p is still an extravagance.
I personally use 1440p and have done for a few years now. For that reason I couldn't really go back to 1080p at this point but if you're not looking to spend a lot of money on hardware than 1080p is perfectly acceptable and arguably far less hassle.

IPS is deffo better than TN, I've had 24" 1080p TN, 27" 1440p IPS, and now 24" 1080p TN 144hz, the fav was the second one. This is a great deal. Heat already added. I don't think the extra screen space will be too much of a problem for the resolution.

Looks like it on the pictures. I have the smaller one that isn't wall mountable, but it has a nicer stand and B&O speakers. Lovely looking monitors. Heat from me. My only issue with mine is the time it takes to come on/wake up.

Times have advanced way past 1080p now, I think there is a large base of 1080p gamers still but it is almost certainly not the norm now...we're in 2017! Almost everybody I know games on 1440p now to the point where it's common ground. That's why these monitors are shifting so cheaply because 1080p is becoming more and more redundant.
I think 4K is the only real extravagance, I would consider 1440p gaming to be the norm now, and 1080p to be the equivalent of people who used the large base TV's at the time when LCD TV's were becoming the norm.

In direct comparison, the smaller version would be VC239H 24" IPS FHD - which has the VESA mount option, same as the monitor in this deal.

I already have a 27" frameless IPS acer monitor and was looking for an additional IPS monitor. This one just falls right in my ball part with the price. Thanks op
