1080p, but this is still cheap as muck for 144hz & 27". They're normally over £250. You won't get it cheaper especially since Brexit. Freesync compatible and has a 1ms response time.
If you want a gaming monitor for CSGO, Overwatch, Rocket League or smth and don't want to pay dumb money then this is the one. 14 left.
Cheap cheap cheap. Though I still love my BenQ xl2430t better for 144hz. But so tempted to get this and upgrade my secondary 60hz one..

Just bought one, thank you for posting.
I thought I'm gonna sell my GTX 1060 6GB and get an RX 580, but it looks like AMD dropped the RX 500 series driver support for Windows 8.1 users. ( Supports Win7 and Win10 only)
Can I use the RX 400 series drivers, will that work, or should I get a used RX 480?
Or Windows 10 upgrade with assistive technologies turned on?

Go for the RX580 unless you can find a cheaper RX480. Upgrade to windows 10 only cost £3.00 or less :smiley:

idk if you can get used rx480s for cheap right now because of the ethereum cryptocurrency mining craze. on ebay they are going for £300 used even more than they were retailed.
if you want to upgrade to windows 10 though you can just get a scrap key that has the COA sticker included.
Cclonline and Ebuyer removed the RX 570 and RX 580 cards?
Yeah i might upgrade to Win10, but I prefer 8.1. Or just keep my GTX1060 and don't use Freesync

If your not going to use freesync i wouldn't even bother buying this monitor. You have a nvidia card better looking for deals on a gsync monitor if you dont intend to switch cards.

Keep hold of your 1060 and wait for the inevitable mining crash, then pickup a cheap 480/580 second hand. Ebay will be flooded with them soon enough.

probably sold out. everyone is buying them to mine ethereum coins (like bitcoin). rx 570 and 580. it's a thing right now.
you should just keep your 1060. 580 is a sidegrade and adaptive sync isn't all that.

Screen tearing doesn't really bother me, the only thing annoys me is microstutter.
The idea was to sell the 1060 and get a good deal on the RX 580, about same performance and good enough for 1080p and I could use freesync, but no driver support for my OS.

Wow what a bargain, although you will get people moan about 1080p at 27" , personally I love the high frame rates, although I have g-sync to help.
