Gaming Monitor Deals & Offers

Nice but Not HDR.. does HDR make a difference anyway?

All gone now. (fierce)

Great price!

I paid £1700 for the 1070 version about 6 months ago and I'm very happy with it. Seems like a good price esspecially with the free bundle

congratulations on your first post.have some heat :)

John Lewis says Freesync but the Samsung spec page says it doesn't. Can anyone confirm whether this monitor has Freesync or not?

I was, just about to pull the trigger on the 32” version, but the reviews on here aren’t inspiring. Can anyone suggest a better alternative? Similar price and specs ideally?

Its free sync which works with gsync

Ah my apologies (y)

That's a deal breaker for me I need gsync in my life, thanks bud

Shame is curved, you only need that with the big ultra wides, a normal 27" is better flat.

I've got the 24" version, I don't have any dead pixels but there are a number of other issues with the monitor: -Text "feeling" fuzzy -Red tint in the middle of the screen -A constant buzz sound from the monitor The colours are nice otherwise but I think there are better alternatives in 2019. I bought it in 2017 when there weren't as many monitors competing with it at the same price point.

Good price, terrible monitor. Had 5 or so when it was first on offer back end of last year, all had defects. Mainly dead pixels. The motion blur was also terrible. I would advise you avoid this one.

Activate the mute button. Clearly a muppet.

If you play rocket league it's definitely worth having a 144hz screen with g-sync (or equivalent). You need that rate for fast games. You'd never ever get the same fluid experience on a TV.

Va no good for movies? Still wonder why you have chosen this monitor over bigger TV if you sit 8 ft away. No point of 144hz if you don't play fps, even if you do from this distance you will loose all the benefits. Even 30h screen would be enough.

1080p looks fine at this size if you play at a reasonable distance. I have this monitor and sit 8ft away, I wouldn't buy a monitor of this size to sit at a desk regardless of the resolution. It's the light bleed and colours that are bad. I came close to sending it back, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I paid £350, there were very few alternatives at this price point. The benefits outweighed the negatives for me, Rocket League on this monitor is fantastic. If you mainly play more cinematic games with dark environments and will be watching movies, then you may want to look elsewhere.

1080p on a 31 inch screen won't look good

Decent enough i suppose. 1080p on a 31.5” screen though? Might not look so good.

Does it have a display port on it?

Partially yes.

Does going outside somehow render you incapable of noticing people's grammatical mistakes then? ;)

And you need to get out more. :p

Hey new Sam of London in town.

Absolute load of rubbish. Do your research and stop only reading things which you want to hear. Go ahead and buy a 27 inch 1080p monitor if you want go back and buy yet another one with a better resolution in the near future. Go ahead and waste your money. You're a complete fool if you think I don't understand, because I do, perfectly. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Crazy how people make statements trying to look clever when they don't understand how native resolutions work. The 4k monitor would use interpolation to stretch the image of whatever resolution you have chose to fit the 2160*3840 pixel count resulting in a lesser quality image, as someone who has used HD, 2K and 4k, watching 1080p on 4k isn't as easy as each pixel quadrupling, in theory it should work, in practice it doesn't. If you want to game at 1080p, buy a 1080p monitor, 1440p, buy a 1440p monitor, don't tell people things that would ruin their experience.

If you are doing productivity work such as video editing, excel documents, word etc, a 27inch is far more useful than a lower size monitor as obviously things will appear on the screen a little bigger and easier to read etc, but if you are gaming or watching videos go with 23inches or less as the pixels will be closer together as the pixels will be a bit smaller than on a 27inch, this means that images will look more compressed, think about it like looking at an image, the more you zoom in, the grainier it looks, gaming on a smaller screen monitor is always better as image quality looks better as they don't look as 'pixelated' as on those of higher size screens. You will notice this a lot more if you had a side by side comparison of the two, it makes a lot of difference. Also if you can get a bezeless monitor too, the screen looks even better as there are no massive black bars at the size of the monitor, the monitor in this deal I believe has quite small bezels compared to the cheaper options.

I mean depending on your priorities, it's probably not worth it going for 4k... If you want high refresh rates, you're looking at paying close to 1k or more for a 4k 144hz monitor. Never mind the fact the monitor'll probably break by the time you get the hardware to actually run 4k 144hz, lol. That's why 1440p is kind of the sweet spot at the moment. It's not too demanding on hardware(game depending), and panels that support 144hz don't cost an arm and a leg.

Crazy how people don't understand that a 4k monitor will still display lower resolutions. Future proof yourself.

3 years time this laptop won't be able to run Club Penguin in 720p

Was that for a laptop though? Or a desktop?

Only 60hz on 4K laptop screens at the moment

Anyone have any idea what Hz the screen is?

Cold, was £200 on amazon couple weeks back (lol) (lol) 🙈

How useful! (devil)

But of course, these facts do not diminish my point to someone who thinks this may be a monochrome monitor however :{

Umm, you know there are moonless nights and the moon is also in the sky and visible in the day?

Probably better to get a QHD monitor (2560x1440), fewer pixels to refresh I think some similar AOC models will go to 75hz

Is that the moon in the sky at night?

As the owner of an Acer X27 (Acer variant of this monitor), I paid £1750 and it has been worth every penny. A single 2080Ti has been ample to run games at 4K in excess of 100fps. Just depends on the game and how demanding it is. I might be the only one, but I'm voting this hot. It's a fantastic, top of the line panel.

Not at 144hz . Bandwidth required is too much. The next hdmi 2.1? Should be able to

4k is possible yes

Can you even hit these resolutions yet. Even with 2 gpus

Heat! Bought this myself recently and really like it so far. Good size for gaming, pretty good colours and 144hz for this price? Good deal Edit: e-buyer has it for the same price i believe, that's where I got mine from btw

Have you got twice the money? Been looking around for one but can't seem to find anything below £300 for those specs. 144hz >27" >2k Eventually I've given up and bought a 60hz 2k 32" 4ms Acer for £180 from Curry's... does the job

Does anyone know any good VA 1080p (Ultrawide preferable but not essential) 144hz monitors that are around 27"?

:D

What are those

Opera glasses then.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of enjoying a 4k display? Who wants to sit so close you can't enjoy the screen from a few feet away...

Sit close. Problem solved.
