Found this on r/buildapcsale, you can save $41 on top of that. You've only got an hour left though

You'd probably get better deals on Black Friday.

It's a very old panel (late 2016), it has "ok" specs:

- 4K @ 60Hz, IPS 5ms, Freesync, 250 cd/m²
- 10bit(8bit + A-FRC)
- 2xHDMI 2.0, 1xDP 1.2

as @dizmo says, I'm sure you can get better specs on BlackFriday/CyberMonday (last Friday of November)

Whats the sifference between a 1440p 144hrz 27 inch monitor vs a 2560 x 1080 p ultra wide.

The 1440p 144Hz monitor has a sharper image and smoother motion (assuming the ultrawide has a lower refresh rate), but the ultrawide will give you a few extra inches of viewing on the sides.  The 1080p ultrawide also has fewer pixels, so it won't take quite as much processing from the GPU to run it.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. They're different aspect ratios and resolutions?

Depends on the refresh rate of the ultrawide.

I mean it's not bad, but it's not great. I'd really try and stick to the better brands if you can afford it.

If you're going cheap, Viotek makes a 144hz monitor for $50 less, I'd probably go with that one instead.
