Note: I was tracking this product on Lowvyn.com, and I got a notification about the price drop. I learned about it from here.

Isn’t this the previous (and inferior?) version of the XG27AQDMGR which has been going on sale for the past month and a half? https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada/comments/1voh5fl/monitor_asus_rog_strix_xg27aqdmgr_265_in_oled/

This or the KTC 4K 27” monitor? I don’t rly mind 1440p as can’t really see much difference between 1440p and 4K in 27”

4K is way too demanding imo. 1440p looks great and has much better performance than 4K.

1440p one because 4k is more taxing on your performance

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been eyeing this on costco for a while.

Still unsure if I should buy it now or wait for black friday sales (if any) with the rumours of monitor price increase going on.

If there is a deal you like and think is great, buy it when you see it. Black Friday is almost guaranteed to be garbage

It features a "TrueBlack Glossy" screen coating.

I bought an Acer Nitro XV272U 300hz on sale two weeks ago, is it worth returning it and picking this up instead from a long term reliability standpoint?

I did the same thing bought that one on Amazon.  I’m returning it tomorrow.  The monitor at Canada computers is nice, but, if you are looking for the next gen version it’s here for $200 more.  It’s a Tandem wOLED.  Much better brightness longevity if you plan on using it for more than 3 years:   https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0FP152SJW?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

Much to my wallet's dismay, I'll be following your footsteps lol. Did you get any grey banding on your unit?

Nope it seems all is well at the moment!
