Acer Releases 28" 4K 144 Hz HDMI 2.1 Gaming Monitor
Acer have recently unveiled the 4K 144 Hz XV282K KV gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1 connectivity. The XV282K KV is the first monitor from Acer to support HDMI 2.1 in addition to VESA DisplayHDR 600, and AMD FreeSync support. The monitor features a 28-inch 4K IPS panel with a refresh rate of 144 Hz which is reportedly sourced from Innolux. The monitor has been certified as VESA DisplayHDR 600 compatible and should offer 98% DCI-P3 coverage along with a contrast ratio of 1,000:1.
The XV282K KV comes with an adjustable stand that can be easily removed to expose the 100 mm x 100 mm VESA mount. The monitor also includes a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection in addition to the dual HDMI 2.1 ports. The monitor features an integrated USB 3.0 hub with four Type-A ports along with a 3.5 mm audio pass-through. The monitor was found for sale on the Chinese shopping site Taobao where it is currently listed for pre-order at 8,499 CNY (~1,245 USD). The monitor may see an international release in 2021 once Chinese pre-orders have been fulfilled.

I just wish someone would do this with a better contrast ratio and 32" screen size.
But we are getting closer to having an acceptable PC monitor that is only 10 years behind my living room TV.
They've always said Q4 2020 for shipping and their latest update that came out like a month ago seemed very promising on the fact that it'll be ready by Q4. There's been no setbacks nor mishaps so far, so I don't see why people are withdrawing their preorders. I'm keeping mine.

And keep in mind when you order you only put down $100 and the rest is paid when it ships. The $100 is fully refundable too in case you change your mind.
Seriously guys, do your research. Making a monitor is COMPLICATED and that extends to the longevity/reliability of the device. It's really not a product you want to buy through people like this. I'm not just speculating as there have been plenty of problems with Eve Monitors.
Offering great specs is one thing. Delivering is another... not even sure how good the Warranty situation is, but I would suggest people look at a reliable 1440p monitor from Asus or similar that has good reviews over a 4K monitor that is yet to be released from a company with a questionable history.
BUT
it also says the stand is $99 on the front page? i am so confused... man im really sad i missed out on the $499 price tag... this is like my dream monitor...
there is a coupon code at checkout, any chance you got some sort of code for being an early pre-order to share with one other person or one of those type of things?
I don't have a coupon code, no, sorry. Didn't get one for pre-ordering. I imagine some youtuber or something got a coupon code to give out at some point, but that's just me speculating.
I just rechecked my order and I was wrong, it was $529 not $499. So you're not missing out that much by ordering this late.
