This was priced just under $400 less than a couple weeks ago. I think this model is being cleared out and is being replaced by the 27UP650 (current $450), which as far as I can tell, the main difference is an updated stand (please correct me in comments if that's not accurate).
It's also the same price on B&H photo:

2 x HDMI 2.0, DP1.4, headphone out, 3-sided bezel-less display, VESA-mountable and color-calibrated from factory. Stand supports tilt, height and rotate. I quite like the bottom power button/joystick control.

This is the best I could come up with when figuring out the LG naming scheme
LG Naming
First Two Numbers - Monitor Size
First Letter - Series Monitor Belongs to (Ultrafine, Wide, Gaming, Business)
Second Letter- Year Released (K=2018 L=2019 N=2020 P=2021)
**Next two items may or may not be in model number**
Letter after series number - F or G (Freesync or G-sync)
Last Letter - W=White or B=Black
Sometimes the series number is 2 numbers, not 3. This denotes business vs consumer monitor. Difference is 1 year warranty vs 3 year warranty otherwise they are the same.
Differences in Ultrafine Series
600 - Non-Adjustable stand no USB-C + USB 3
650 - Adjustable Stand no no USB-C + USB 3
750 - VA Screen instead of IPS, Adjustable Stand, no USB-C + USB 3
850 - Adjustable Stand, USB-C + USB 3, Speakers
950 - Thunderbolt connection instead of USB-C, Speakers

There are a number of YouTube reviews of this or the previous model with console gaming

I'm using both in a dual monitor setup so I can directly compare. Picture quality is similar and they also have the same number of inputs. The Dell has a better stand and also includes speakers, but the LG has better controls and menus. The LG uses an external power supply, which can be bad or good depending how you look at it. Can't really go wrong with either honestly.
Rtings did review the previous model. They are pretty similar except this one adds HDR400 certification, though IPS isn't really isn't that strong with HDR content anyway.

Awesome thank you!
Maybe I got a bad one? No idea, YMMV

LG has always been the pioneer of LCD panels, esp IPS ones. I believed they were the first one who made commercial IPS panels and most other manufacturers bought panels from them at that time. So I trust them with their quality.
Regarding color accuracy, I assume you're talking about factory-calibrated level of accuracy, which again, IMHO, doesn't mean that much. If your work requires very accurate color reproduction, you should calibrate your screen by yourself anyway.

I think you incorrectly applied Pythagorean theorem, 22.3" is the total (extended) height of the monitor *including the stand*, not the height of the display area
