Finally got my hands on the OMEN 27k. I've been rocking an Omen 32c for a while now (that ultrawide curve is just *chef's kiss*), and I also keep the ZOWIE XL2566X+ around for when I need that super fast refresh. So stepping into the 4K world with the 27k is, well, interesting. The clarity, oh man. 4K at 27 inches is a treat, everything looks crisp. I was worried about the size but it's working well for me. Colors pop. I'm actually quite impressed by the built in speakers too, decent enough for casual listening which was a surprise bonus. I still prefer my headphones obviously. 144Hz isn't the 400Hz I'm used to on the Zowie but it's smooth enough, especially paired with FreeSync. Great monitor overall, but is it THE best? hard to say after just a few hours.
