4k 27" seems overkill over a normal 1440p at 27" ? You cant use 4k native on a 27" screen, so scaling it how much better does it truly work and now you need a beefier GPU to push 4k level of pixels. I guess for professional photography type work?

you make a good point. I have a very nice Ben-Q 27" monitor for my photography work and it's 2.7K and an amazing monitor. They had a 4K version, but didn't want to deal with the smaller icons on the 4K version.

4K is hard to drive? This isn't a "gaming" monitor, delivering 4K/60 is a piece of cake. 4K+scaling looks WAY better than native 1440p.

2k is 2560 x 1440 = 3,686,400 pixels
4k scaled to 125% is 3072 x 1728 = 5,308,416 pixels.
So 20% more pixels in each direction, and 44% more total pixels.
I bought this on the last deal at $235 as a work monitor. The display itself works well (connected to both PC and Mac), but the USB-C power delivery struggles with my macbook pro when running CPU-intensive tasks like video-conferencing, and will disconnect randomly unless I charge the macbook pro with another source. At this price point I'll keep it and deal with that.
Seems like this is the model without speakers, any clarification if this does or does not have speakers? Is the model with speakers also on sale if this doesn't have it?

yup.. think they were confusing it as a gaming monitor which it's not. however Samsung has a 4k IPS 27" Odyssey in sale which is a Great buy too - id probably go for that if indidnt already have this one..
