This monitor has been posted at least 16 times since I received mine about 8 months ago.
Posts within the last couple weeks for $290.

The price has basically dropped from $330 to $290 over the 9 months since its release. For gaming at 27inch 1440p, 170hz, it has no peers. The KVM is great for productivity,
The BGR layout bothers some people some of the time. (me, using light text on a dark background that isnt changed with cleartype settings, for example RDP sessions or some smaller in game text)
Overall, I have had the monitor since December and I love it. I'd pay $400 if it was an RGB panel. I did need to send one back because it was damaged during shipping from Amazon.
Question though: I started using my previous monitor vertically, and am noticing terrible viewing angles with it in the vertical position. Any suggestions on a 27" 2k monitor that would pair well with this M27Q for a vertical monitor? High color accuracy / viewing angles being more important than Refresh rate for it.
