Is this monitor using the same panel as the MG279Q ? Wonder how quality control is these days. QC was not really good when the MG279Q was released and the pictures of crazy backlight bleed still makes me think twice before buying one.

That's a monitor from 2015, I'm 99% sure they moved on to newer panels. Especially at this price point

I don't get this obsession with 27" monitors! 32-34-36-40inch monitors please! My LG 32" 1440p is good but I can notice that sort of old CRT block like image. Noticable on RDR2 in the snow

I just want a 32" IPS, 144Hz, 2160 or 1440p, HDR, G-Sync NONE CURVED! God I hate those things... Job done! But alwasy 27"? Tech is going backwards
