It's about as cheap as 4K IPS gets. This monitor class is the sweet spot for me, 4k fast refresh at great prices (and without mini-LED, which I avoid since I prefer low minimum brightness). I don't have all the brands accurately mapped out for quality but I think Acer is towards the bottom, perhaps worse than Chinese brands (I've purchased KTC monitors with no issues, and I'm pretty sure all these cheap fast-IPS monitors have basically the same Chinese panels). Since this is from Costco you get pretty good protection though. My next step up would be the latest RGB-stripe OLED but considering the ~5x price difference and same exact refresh rate I just can't justify it (I know there are other advantages but still...)

One big disadvantage of cheap 4k IPS is that they don't come with DP 2.1 ports, and DSC with DP 1.4 takes up 2 GPU lanes, so running more than 2 monitors at full 4k/10bit/144Hz+ is difficult/impossible unless GPU comes with more than 1 HDMI port.

Gamers just need one monitor, unlike coder. why "2 monitors at full 4k/10bit/144Hz+"?

I like high refresh rate (at least 120Hz) even for productivity tasks and gaming monitors are just fine for my purposes (good enough color), but it's an important quirk that they don't have DP 2.1 unlike expensive OLED or dedicated productivity monitors. If someone bought ~$1000 4k monitors instead they could connect 4 directly to a modern GPU.

Do not do it. 4K at 27" is NOT good. 3x 27" 1440p resolution is the sweet spot.

If you want 4K, do not get anything smaller than 32"

4K 27" is sweet spot for me. 32" is too big
