Anyone else tempted by this? The reviews look good, but I'm unsure if spending £360 on a screen which is a TN is a good idea, especially with a stand that doesn't look good...

Also, will having a low lag time on the monitor make any difference in competitive FPS play (CS) if my ping is usually around 70 anyway?
 
The stand seems ok to me, with the orange actually been a bit understated I think. Looks good.

Doesnt come with a mini DP to DP cable which was a bit annoying so currently stuck using 75 hz until tomorrow but first impressions are good.

defaults to 100% brightness which is odd, so turned that down a bit.

People on the boards are currently having a monk on about acer support and a dead pixel/dust problem on their IPS version of this monitor but I havent seen anything on my TN screen.

Once I'm up and running with the DP I'll be giving it a proper run through. The tftcentral review has response times similar to the ROG Swift etc so I think its reasonable for a TN

Came from a sammy, 60hz TN but dont really have a problem with the tech though. I'm not often viewing it side on....

Sorry if its a bit late to influence your decision though.
