It is indeed a good monitor but I don't think it is available in India. I had to go for a Korean monitor as I was also looking for the acer monitor but didn't find it here.

Those take up way too much space. Besides, my dream of triple monitor setup would never be complete with those.

And Acer has higher Resolution.

I would personally like one ultrawide to a 3 monitor setup. The last one is perfect. Just see the review.

Otherwise, I like this one but the resolution is not what you are looking for.

ASUS is only FHD, 34" one costs an arm and 3 legs. I can barely fit 2x25" on my desk, forgot about any 27".

Also, I am used to higher DPI displays, laptop user :D

For the price Acer sure looks a sweet deal. If you can wait for black friday deals you will get huge discount on some others too.

Here, I am saving for the 34 one and the right time to buy.

Where are you located? If imported to India then how much you paid for each monitor including customs?
