    I just picked this monitor up off of Amazon based on this video:


    It being a cheap monitor, it has its drawbacks. It's suspected to use cast-off Samsung panels, so there's a possibility of dead pixels (which at 4k aren't that noticeable, but milage may vary), the colour accuracy isn't perfect and isn't recommended for professional production work.

    What sold me is that it has the Linus' approval.

    "In Conclusion, this thing is kinda [ADVERTISER FRIENDLY CONTENT]ing awesome."

    But damn... a Sub-$200 (Sub-$300 CDN) 4k 27" monitor... Yeah, I got one, need to replace my ageing Dell 1080p 27".

    UK: Sorry, couldn't find it on UK Amazon.

    Yeah, I was hoping that this would be available in the UK too, my friend just moved there and she wanted one.

    They've discussed the odd place Europe sits in when it comes to tech on the WAN show before, there are things that never come to market here, or a lot more expensive than they are in NA, even with Canadas monopoly money.
