Despite them being a no name rebrand for Checkers - it turns out they have pretty decent panels, 144Hz Freesync (G-sync compatible with DP cable) kind of decent.

The Carbies are also going crazy for the monitors as they are such a good deal.
There’s also a handy thread picking out the spec details from the discussion (Link)
There are some concessions - the HDR isn’t really proper HDR and the colours do need a bit of calibration, the stand is not great either. But aside from that, anyone looking for a cheap but decent high refresh screen should get themselves down to Checkers (You need to register for their X-Savings card to get the deal) - This is not a sentence one would expect to be saying!
If I had the spare cash I’d definitely get one of the 27" monitors to replace my current 75HZ 27" - would love to have the high refresh rate in games.
It’s very interesting. I see some people love them but I saw one guy at Carbonite who didn’t like his monitor because of ghosting.
My wife’s monitor has a vertical stripe on the right of the screen. I wonder if I should maybe get one of these to replace it.
