Bought this panel just before it went on sale, luckily costco can refund the difference! but this panel is great, crisp with great colors. of course wish it had higher refresh rate, but that's my only complaint!

Seems pretty good if you aren't needing higher refresh rates.

There is a 28" model with much higher refresh rates for $239. Any comparison between the two? Acer 27" Class Curved WQHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor

Refresh rates: It depends on the type of games you are playing. If you play FPS or action games then you'll want to strongly consider a higher refresh rate monitor. Other games like RPGs or Strategy Games, not so much. This monitor should work well for office work, 4k for sharp text and good color specs on paper (No Rtings test to know for sure). You might need to scale up the text in Windows if you find the text/icons too small though.

This one a lower resolution VA (not IPS) monitor. That means better contrast/black levels and worse viewing angles. Lower brightness spec and has a DVI port instead of a 2nd HDMI port. Seems fine if you want to trade the refresh rate for the resolution.

Is UHD (3840 x 2160) same as 4k? I don't see it advertised as 4K.

Yes, 1920x1080 is "2K" and 3840x2160 is "4K" for basically everything you are going to buy.

Just a minor correction "1920x1080" is 1080p not 2k as "2560x1440" is 2k

1920x1080 is also considered 2K.

Technically 4K is 4096x2160 one of the movie industry's aspect ratios, while 2K would be 2048x1080. The terms were brought over to the home TV industry which uses a different aspect ratio so 3840x2160 (4K) and 1920x1080 (2K). Yes it was 1080p before 4K TVs became a thing, but now people just refer to them as 4K and 2K.

4K and 2K are essentially generic terms for any horizontal resolution close to 4000 and 2000 respectively. You shouldn't rely on these for an exact resolution, that is what the alphabet soup terms (QHD, WQHD, Etc..) no one remembers are for.

You are incorrect. 1920x1080 was never considered 2K by the industry (check monitor manufacturers web sites).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution

All I am saying is 1920x1080 does get referred to as "2K" also.

That is just creates confusion. Have you seen 2K 1920x1080 monitor? Some folks refer qhd as 2k as well... there are 3 main stream monitor resolutions right now: 1080 fhd, qhd and 4k. Other resolutions are niche. 1080 2k is not advertised by industry. So why to confuse others?
