EDIT EDIT: The deal is now back up for whatever reason!! Actually it's a very slightly different model, from what I can see on Lenovo's site the only difference is that this newly listed one is the "Razer Edition", which has some RGB lighting or something and probably extra Razer branding. Anyway this is a steal for a good G-Sync monitor, very happy with my non-Razer model so far. Go go go!
EDIT: Only lasted 3 hours, may have been an error... The price was £228. I guess I will leave this up for an idea of what kind of deal to look out for on a G-Sync display. Sorry about that all.
Probably the lowest price for a new G-Sync monitor right now, and with a 144Hz VA panel it should be decent quality for that much. Reviews seem to suggest so, the main con at the time was seemingly the high cost, but this seems like a really competetive deal.
I've been looking for a new monitor after switching from an R9 390 to a GTX 1080. I already have a 1080p 75Hz IPS Freesync monitor, so this is a bit of a sidegrade for me. But I really don't want to lose the variable refresh feature so stuff it, I'll give this a go. I would have preferred 1440p at that size, and I don't especially desire a curved screen, but I believe a VA panel should give a better contrast ratio than IPS (which was the biggest disappointment with my current monitor) with comparable colour accuracy.
There is a 0% interest paypal credit option for 24 months, which is nice. And a 30 day refund if something goes wrong.

Hate buying crap on ebay :disappointed: shame really if it was on Amazon I'd get it for my spare rig

Yeah it looks decent. I was really looking for a VA panel too, as in very dark games the IPS glow and poor black levels do kinda detract from the experience.
It will arrive on Monday apparently, I will be sure to report back on how good it is :smile:

Wait, there's actually a decently priced 27 inch 1440p Gsync monitor that is also curved and a VA panel (Even at £350 from Amazon)Missed out the 1080p part.
Depends on what you using it for. For gaming, you lose the Gsync feature to a Freesync. Depends whether you use one or the other based on your graphic card. Gysnc for certain Nvidia cards and Freesync for certain AMD cards.

If you have an AMD card that can utilise the freesync on that monitor, go for it. If you have an Nvidia card that can utilise the G-Sync on OP's link, go for that.

This was actually another monitor I was looking at, probably uses the same panel. There is a 24 inch version for a similar price as the Lenovo, which might make more sense for the 1080p resolution, but less sense for a curved monitor. Considering the usual price hike for G-Sync though the Lenovo seems like the best deal (assuming you have an Nvidia GPU). If I hadn't bought this I would probably keep my R9 390 in my system and switch to it when playing something that really benefits from variable refresh, such as Overwatch.

I had viewed the item previously, then just earlier I got an email from eBay saying it had been discounted from £584 to £228. Now obviously that's a silly price cut, £350ish is more of the going price, so still a great deal it seems.

I really wish I had an Nvidia card, then I'd be all over this. Seems like a steal, great find btw OP.
