About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
After much deliberating, I decided to go for this as my replacement monitor.
Superb for the price, great motion handling, decent brightness and colour accuracy.
Decent stand with tilt, pivot and height adjustment.
400 nits brightness is stated, but in the review below it actually tested at over 500 nits so it'll be great in very well lit rooms.
Yes, it's IPS and I know some of you prefer the higher contrast of VA, but I cannot stand the motion blur that comes with all but the most expensive VA panels and I prefer the general look/sharpness/colours of IPS.
IPS glow isn't enough of a negative to sway me away from them.
Good review for the screen here -

sorted byBut for Iiyama the panels themselves seem great but there’s clearly some quality control issues. Had to return first IPS due to power problems and there was a dud in the first office batch we bought too.
If you get a working one it has to be of the best screen size/quality for the price out there with fantastic colour accuracy though, super impressed with them.
Read through a lot of the comments on Reddit and under the YT reviews and didn't see a single complaint about this model so thinking I'd have to be very unlucky to get one with issues.
Pretty positive, especially when it comes to image quality and motion handling (important for gaming monitors). (edited)

You are paying more for 240Hz though, if you don't really need such a high refresh rate you could save some money and go for a 165Hz (the difference is barely noticeable, most people can't even tell the difference).
There are some other options -

Even this is pretty well reviewed -

The M1C version of that phillips is a little cheaper -

All VA panels though, so ghosting/Black smearing will always be an issue with fast paced games but at least they are from Amazon so easy enough to return if you don't like them. (edited)
I was going to replace it with the one from Tech Next Day as it was only £5 more, but they have also put the price up.
Looks like I bought it at the right time.
Crazy cause it says on the box, manuals and everywhere. Had to wait for so long and now this issue
I know at least it says it doesn't have one on the box, but a power supply without a power cable? lol!
Lucky I have plenty of spares.
This or recommendation for something similar?
There was a deal for a similar specced monitor with USB-C posted last week I think, good price too.
I'll try to find it.
