Deal Details
Pretty good deal on a QHD gaming monitor with 180hz. If you play games that are maxed out at 200 frames or you do not expect your video card to go above 180hz this might be for you. Certainly a nice jump if you are at 60hz like I was for a long time Frown

2560 x 1440 Resolution

Not the fastest monitor but pretty good. Just to be clear it is not new and is refurbished.

Code is no longer working, seller changed description to used. Can anyone check if this is working for them? This is actually a very good deal.

Just when I got a used acer I see this, which is better in every way except its only 27" and not curved.

It works for me. You should be logged into eBay. Add to Cart. Go to the Checkout page and scroll down on left side and apply the coupon or enter it.

They say they have 3 left as of 6:30pm Eastern.

They used the word "Used" on the page but they had 12 of these in stock. They most likely are refurbs and a few sellers have them but this is the best price I found other than Amazon Prime members (which I am not).

Why so many refurbs for this monitor ?

It seems to be a discontinued model. They may have gotten 100 or 200 back as defective or returns. They checked them out and fixed them and sold them all at once to a few retailers most likely.

They likely got a whole lot of returns, and I can see why. I bought the monitor (new), and while I love it, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. It looks great, but:1. When local dimming is on, you can't adjust the brightness. Since it reaches ~1000 nits, it's blinding in a dark room.2. The included stand is garbage, and is not height adjustable.3. Only reaches 120hz if 10-bit color is on.While I knew all this before I bought the monitor, I doubt others did, leading to many returns.

So is there no way to get 180hz? Have you tried the DP connection? I had a monitor that would only get higher speeds on Display Port connection.

I looked around some more and it only has a display port 1.2 connection and has problems with Nvidia video cards: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/re.../q27g40xmn

I hate when monitor companies do this. I had another brand that had the same problem. It says something hertz and you think it is with either cable and any card. Sometimes it is not.
