Text clarity on this monitor is far superior to QD based panels and consistency/uniformity is also good, corner-to-corner. The problem with this Intro model is the utter lack of firmware support. LG engineers should be adding controls over the insanely too-frequent, pixel refreshes that are easily interrupted with good-practice, display shutoff intervals controlled by the Host computer. There's absolutely no reason these cycles need to be this freaking frequent!

Phenomenal picture quality!
Really enjoying the quality of the OLED screen, I have another high quality LG IPS panel and it has a clarity of text that I wasn't sure I'd be able to replicate on my new 27GX700A-B, but I can say that I am completely surprised at the quality of text. Now we move on to the real difference, which is colours and visual fidelity of the screen, I am very impressed with how colours are represented, there is a depth in colour rendering that took me by surprise. Finally, HDR, it just pops, at the brightness level that I use in my office, the HDR quality is simply amazing and I am very surprised at just how things pop on the screen now in my games. For those debating whether this is an ideal 2K panel for OLED gaming, well, you can make the leap and not look back, OLED is truly at another level of colour rendering and visual quality!

Thank you for the fantastic review! We are thrilled that the text clarity and color depth of our OLED technology exceeded your expectations, especially coming from a high-quality IPS panel. It’s great to hear that the HDR is making your games 'pop' and that you're enjoying the leap to OLED gaming. Welcome to the next level of visual fidelity!
Fast, beautiful OLED gaming monitor
This LG gaming monitor looks incredible right out of the box. The OLED panel delivers deep blacks, strong contrast, and vibrant colors that make games feel more immersive than any IPS monitor I’ve used. The 280Hz refresh rate and near-instant response time make gameplay extremely smooth and responsive, especially in fast shooters. Input lag is basically nonexistent. Build quality is solid, the stand is fully adjustable, and HDMI 2.1 makes it easy to use with both PC and console. Review submitted as part of a program that provides a purchase discount.

Terrible text rendering with this RGWB WOLED panel
Terrible fringing on text in Windows 11 with and without ClearType on. Tried using MacType to adjust the font, but there aren't tools made for RGWB panels. Microsoft doesn't seem to care about addressing this issue. I would avoid all OLED monitors until this is fixed.

Horrible VRR flickering
I really wanted to like this monitor since everyone mentions how great OLEDs are. The first issue is the matte screen this has, which I new before I bought it, but I didn't realize it would cause a light bleeding/blooming effect similar to my older IPS monitor. OLEDs are known to have poping colors and no light bleed. The second issue, which was the dealbreaker for me, was the horrible VRR flickering. Whenever I moved my mouse or do anything it the lighting would flicker. It was far too distracting. Given the how long OLED technology has been around, you'd think this issue would have been ironed out.

great monitor, noticable flickering with grey
the monitor overall is great, loving the colors, refresh rate and resolution, not super noticeable jump from my previous monitor but the colors are alot better than my previous IPS, my two issues are with the stand and flickering when the screen is mostly shades of grey, the stand doesnt go as short as i wish it would and flickering is very noticeable when the screen is mostly grey but its not a deal breaker especially at the price point though i do wish that when it automatically did image cleaning, when it gets turned off, it had the rgb colors same as when you do it manually as it makes me doubt whether or not its actually cleaning

If you already have an OLED, skip.
I bought this to replace my old Samsung G6 that had some burn in issues, and specifically because tandems are supposed to be bright. This panel is barely as bright if not dimmer than my 2 year old heavily used QD-OLED in HDR and SDR. Idk if i just lost the panel lottery but it is disappointing to say the least.
