450 USD for a 60Hz QHD panel?!
I must be missing something in the spec sheets, like gold plating or something.
Edit: It's probably the stand, LGs webpage makes a big deal out the flexibility of the stand.
Dont see anything in the article that specifies 60Hz. The LG page also omits it. However both B&H and Adorama order pages note it as 75Hz. That said, 75hz at $450 is still way too much.

I admit that's my assumption. Generally speaking, if the refresh rate is omitted (as opposed to plastered all over the place) it's going to be terrible - which usually means 60Hz.
75Hz is basically the same though, and as you note the same reasoning regarding price applies.

It's a calibrated prosumer monitor with HDR, not a gaming screen. GtG is 5ms... it's definitely CHEAPER than a $1,500 27" Eizo...
