Re this post hotukdeals.com/dea…285 which has it on their ebay store for £227.97 (this price is back, after it went over £300 for a while). Direct from their website is slightly cheaper.

According to windowscentral.com/bes…ors "...the Lenovo Y27G Razer Edition. The display is available for $50 less without the Razer branding and added benefits, but we wanted to include something a little different here. The Razer Edition of the Y27G includes Chroma multicolor lighting effects that create an ambience depending on what's displayed on-screen (in supported games only).
You can also set the color to your own preference. Say you have a blue lighting theme going on inside the case and wish for the same hue to be projected around the gaming den. This is possible with the Y27G Razer Edition, which makes it an interesting purchase to consider."
"VESA mounting is standard, which makes us happy bunnies and for
connectivity Lenovo has included four USB ports, DisplayPort and HDMI.
The resolution is 1080p, refresh rate is 144Hz, though you may find
issue with the rather slow 8ms response time**. That said, when you
consider the $599.99 price tag, it's not that bad when it comes to value
with G-Sync."
Assuming the 65C1GAC1UK is the Razer Edition, as the Lenovo website suggests.
Yeah it is discussed there, shows it is present and the mod or whoever that replied is wrong, sadly. It's present even at high frames, it seems to be a common issue with this monitor. My Gsync monitor doesn't get that at any fps.

Even if you have to switch GSync off, this is still a lot of screen for the money, I have a similar spec Acer and it cost 50% more than this, VA screens are rare, and a great compromise between the speed of a TA screen and the lush picture of an IPS.
I get flicker on mine, but only in certain games, and even that has been reduced to almost nothing after a recent display driver update.

Thanks for sharing, I have just ordered one so we'll see how it is. The reviews aren't great for it but mostly they reference a poor menu structure (I don't mind, I don't often play with the settings once a screen is set up) and the price which was £600 when it was first released. Seeing as the closest screen from the same shop is over £300 this could be a cracking little bargain.
It's obviously not going to out perform the true high end IPS screens and G-Sync does seem to be an issue (Some say that recent drivers are improving the situation), for this price it seems like a steal.

A shame it's 1080p and not 1440p, but 219.93 for g-sync is surely a steal.

I'm a bit confused with the 144htz, 4k, G- sync & Free sync which is better and why?

I have a similar system with a dual monitor setup, one screen is 1440p 144hz and gsync, the other is 4k 60hz with no gsync. For gaming I would advise a 1440p 144hz gsync screen, it will compliment your GPU wonderfully. You will get a crisper image from the higher resolution, smoother gamplay from the higher refresh rate and no stuttering or screen tearing from gsync. Gsync is what nvidia cards use, like yours, freesync is amd. A good monitor is expensive, expect to pay £500+ for one with the specs I mentioned, but frankly your PC is being wasted on your current monitor.

Anyone know if there is a freesync version of this?
You need to have Lenovo Artery and Razer Synapse Software (and Razer gear) to control the lights.

The flickering at low frame rates (and in some loading screens, when the framerate stutters) is actually a G-Sync specific issue, you can search "g-sync flicker" and see the posts about many makes of monitor. It's kind of hilarious the number of times in online arguments about Freesync vs G-Sync, people saying how technically superior G-Sync is and how it's a better experience. Then what do I find the moment I move to a G-Sync panel from a low end freesync one? Damn flickering! Now I'm really not that upset as it's not bad in the odd loading screen and for games with stuttery FPS I can just disable G-Sync temporarily, but let it be said here: Freesync is every bit as good as G-Sync!! :P
If you get tearing with G-Sync on, then try to limit your FPS to below the max, i.e. 142. Or enable fast sync in the Nvidia settings.
Overall I am very happy with this monitor, and would definitely recommend it. A proper steal for this price, basically one of the cheapest G-Sync deals ever, and a good panel, size, and build quality.
One of the reviews mentioned how terrible the overdrive setting is, the "Extreme" setting is really bad yes. but the normal setting that is enabled out of the box is great IMO Very minimal or no discernable artifacts, and keeps the brightness and clarity of details in motion. With it off entirely things get a bit smeary.

But for £209? That's actually an incredible bargain if you dont mind 1080p still.
edit: the main thing seems to be the gsync flickers a lot on this panel at certain points.
