You are right to be concerned. 27" is the sweet spot for 1440p. At 32" you may well see pixellation.

I assume it's worth dismissing the idea of a 32" then?

It's always worth making a post in the Customer Support section of the forum and asking about the condition of any B grade item you're interested in, also ask if that's the best price available as they may well lower it, they did after I asked about some equipment awhile back.

Already emailed them about a couple of other items before and was told they can't advise me on why a specific item is B Grade

I guess no harm in making a post instead.

Would it be a worthwhile purchase if I pulled the trigger on the Samsung? Reviews seems positive, but then again I'm far from having any real knowledge on monitors to know if something is wrong with the spec.

The only I can see on OCUK is priced at £379.99.

Is it worth going for the same spec but with 75hz for £247.95? Not sure I can really afford the cost at £379.99

Not on here mate but should be able to find it

Yes. You mainly interact with your PC with your eyes so take care of them.

I've looked elsewhere but the cheapest I can find 27" 1440p 144hz is about £340.00, which is more than a smidge above the £250.00 I was setting myself.

Fair enough, makes sense.

Really holding my hand through this, haha

Appreciate it though. I somehow completely missed it beforehand.

Found it

Now I guess the decision to make is whether I wait till Black Friday or not.

I guess I can always try and get the price difference refunded in some way if I buy it now and then the price does drop.

Hell yeah, super happy with it all.

Thanks for your help as well with everything, it's very much appreciated.

Feels good to no longer be using a PC that struggled to even hit 30fps on lowest settings on whatever game I tried
