If you prefer OLEDs with a matte finish like I do, this monitor is one of the best at $500 or less (when on sale). The colors and brightness are great, and the matte finish is more like a semi-matte finish which helps with image clarity as opposed to what you’d see on an IPS monitor. If you are concerned about vertical banding, I’d say it’s worth taking a risk given the monitor’s quality at this price point. Personally, vertical banding hasn’t been an issue at all (might’ve gotten lucky).

I was coming from a 24 in 1440p 180hz ips monitor and this monitor was a massive upgrade, its my first oled and the true blacks and no backlight bleed look so good. Also this tandem oled technology is so bright for an oled and looks amazing in a bright room (and obvioulsy looks great in a dark room) it has a matte coating but i cant see any noticeable grain so the image quality is crisp. Also the response times and motion clarity are amazing and a massive difference from lcd (if your pc can hit 280hz). I got it for 599 which is a fair price for the brand new panel, i wouldnt pay more than 649. But overall highly recommend!

upgraded from the LG 27GS95QE (WOLED, 3rd gen), and the difference is immediately noticeable. This new panel is significantly brighter across both full-screen and windowed APL levels, with color reproduction that gets very close to QD-OLED gamut and saturation. For someone like me who doesn’t need more than 240Hz, this panel is essentially my endgame. There are people who criticize the matte anti-glare coating, but in my case, it’s an advantage. Glossy surfaces tend to cause eye strain due to reflections, so the matte finish actually provides a more comfortable and consistent viewing experience.

It’s a great monitor and looks good, but the display panel is very difficult to calibrate; even with the best effort, the screen looks like a VA panel monitor. It doesn't look bad, but I’ve seen cheaper OLEDs that look better. This 27GX700A-B has good brightness, and I can compare it to a Mini-LED when HDR is enabled. The monitor isn't bad, and for gaming, it's above average, thanks to that 280Hz refresh rate and low latency. Considering there are other monitors on the market at the same or even lower prices, I find it hard to justify its high cost. The only thing that makes this monitor stand out from the rest is its higher brightness.

After trying out both QD and Woled this new Tandem oled panel is definitely a lot closer to QD oled than the previous 3rd gen Woled with MLA. Better colors and ever better brightness. One thing I did have to the with this LG model is to run a couple of pixel cleanings due to very noticeable grey banding out of the box and it definitely fixed it back to normal.
