Interesting... that Samsung is a great deal!

I bought that Samsung monitor for $200 at amazon during cyber monday but am about to return it and get the Acer K272HUL instead... reason being 1440p > 1080p

 

[unknownofprob]

good point, though depending on his hardware 1440p may not be the best of choices. Though for the price that is, very good value.
