This monitor uses LG's W-OLED 27" QHD panel like the one in the Asus model or LG's "original". In contrast, it sacrifices some max luminance for an extended warranty covering permanent image retention (called. burn-in) and 0 defective pixels guarantee. To me, this is far more important than having 300 nits instead of 200. Design-wise, this is a very sleek and compact monitor, the materials are high quality, the leg is metal, the hinge is hardened plastic. Nothing squeaks anywhere, unless you hit the table outright, it definitely doesn't wobble or anything. Just the appropriate quality of workmanship that you would expect in an expensive item. There's probably no point in going into too much detail about the image quality, it's clear to anyone who's ever seen an OLED that there's not much better - the pixels are self-luminescent, so they individually control their luminance and colour. The contrast ratio is therefore essentially unlimited, as the minimum pixel state is "0" (off), Corsair quotes a value of 1.5 million to one. HDR is perfect, and on such a small screen the lower brightness doesn't matter at all, on the contrary, at least it won't burn your eyeballs in the evening. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the really thoughtful features and connectivity - this monitor has not only HDMI and DP ports, but also two USB-C, and a slew of USB-A ports, including fast power delivery (which is why the power "brick" is so massive, 180W, even though the monitor eats a fraction of that). It charges my phone faster via USB-C than the original charger.
The OSD is sophisticated, thank goodness it's controlled by buttons and joystick and not by stupid touchpads, and when you put your hand underneath the monitor, it shows you exactly where each button is. Perfect feature, finally someone thought of it! For me the only problem is flickering when GSync is active in some games, but it has happened in exactly two games so far, otherwise I have no problem. Turning off GSync solves the problem, so I hope nvidia/Corsair do something about it soon. Overall, this version of LG's W-OLED is probably the best in my opinion, you get the most music for quite reasonable money, and the only compromise is the slightly lower luminance and the lack of "gaming" nonsense like RGB effects. I recommend it.
