Looks good to me man. I got my 1440p monitor coming in today and I’m happy with that. It’s more for GPU testing but will surely get some gaming in on it :smiley: Hoping to upgrae to 4k for personal in a few months and like yourself, got the 1080P for watching movies while working lol

ShiftySatchmo I don’t know. It looks like any other monitor out there. If I haven’t read the specifications, I would never say it’s a 4k monitor. It just looks too common. I don’t know how to explain xD
I like unique stuff.

Katsuo curved screens seem impractical. The 4k monitor is 4k when you sit in front of it and run something in 4k. That’s all that matters haha.

ShiftySatchmo If you say sooo. I really care about the looks of the hardware to be honest. But, it’s just meeee. It’s a luxury just to have a 4k monitor, even if it looks like potato. So whatever you buy, you’ll be satisfied because 4k duuuh.

ShiftySatchmo Definitely do a lot of research on the monitor. Always good to find quality control issues via reviews.

The consumer reviews on best buy and Amazon are mainly 4 and 5 stars. With a purchase like this I’d probably get a best buy warranty to cover dead pixels and such for a couple of years. A few people had issues like that, but you’ll find that on any monitor.

teh_g also it’s on here as the Amazing budget 4k monitor

ShiftySatchmo The Acer Predator is only $700 more expensive than the one you want XD
