NeweggFlash [newegg.com] has the AOC Q3279VWFD8 31.5" QHD IPS monitor with FreeSync support for $229.99. Shipping is free. Microcenter [microcenter.com] also has it for $230 with store pickup.

For reference, Amazon sells this model for $350, Best Buy's price is $330 and B&H has it at $300.

Update: For those wondering about the stand and VESA compatibility, the stand only offers tilt adjustment and VESA is not supported. However, an aftermarket VESA adapter is available for $28. [amazon.com]

The reviews for the same model, but with an MVA panel, are really good. Please post your thoughts for this IPS model. Couldn't find any reviews for it yet.

Which is standard, not really an issue. hope you weren't expecting hdr at this price

Anyways fairly tempted, can't decided if a 34" curved type of thing would annoy me too much coming for 1080P 27", in which case i'd just get a standard 32" like this...

Yeah, sadly no VESA and the stand only offers tilt adjustments, no height. However, an aftermarket VESA adapter has been created for this model. [amazon.com] It's a bit pricey, but the adapter plus the monitor is still far cheaper than other retailers are asking for the monitor alone.

The VESA adapter is also available on Newegg and eBay for the same price.

I dont see any major differences, IMO.

5ms response rate (Omen) to 4 (this). Omen might have an extra HDMI port.

More importantly, looks like the Omen has a 1 year warranty and the AOC has a 3 year warranty.

I'm on the Omen right now. I think it is a great monitor.

AOC monitors are junk and their warranty is trash. I have a 24 inch 144hz freesync monitor. The freesync stopped working after 7 months and it had a weird issue where is would lose power for a few seconds. I was going to have it fixed under warranty, but they don't send out a box with a prepaid lable, like every other company I've dealt with. They wanted me to pay for shipping. Now, if I've been using the monitor for a few hours and reboot my system, the monitor won't grab signal unless I turn off the main power switch for a minute or two, then turn it back on.

Trash monitors.

Trash warranty support.

The Omen is a VA panel, I find that colors doesn't pop as much as my IPS and PLS monitors that it sits next too. That being said the color on th Omen is still good. This AOC is an IPS, so I would take this monitor if price difference is minimal.
