This review had information about a similar model with the same screen: https://www.notebookche
The good news is the display is very good, with one caveat being that it utilizes low frequency PWM for dimming, so people who are sensitive to that should look elsewhere.
Bad news is that despite a lot of ports, the ports they chose are not very good: USB-A 2.0 instead of 3.0, USB-C without Power Delivery or DisplayPort, and HDMI 1.4 instead of 2.0.
In part, the rarity of OLED laptops allows ASUS to set their price points/tier whereas LG has to "earn" its price premium over similarly equipped laptops that might cost $100 less (or more!). Put another way, you could get the LG's specs in a cheaper laptop (and which is by extension true of the ASUS since they're the same) but you aren't going to find that OLED screen in any other laptops at this price point (with Samsung being the closest competition).
Good luck!

I'll try this out to see if can improve my streaming entertainment, i.e. is it calibrated well? Yes, I know Pantone...

You cant go wrong either way, but the Vivobook with the oled is more of a PC for media consumption, photo editing, etc. While the LG gram is like a traveling/commute/school laptop, you buy it for mobile use, because of both the lightweight and long battery (something like 21hrs of mixed use)

Intel and AMD both need a reset. Alder Lake is innovative, but power consumption is still off the charts compared to M1 Max (90w vs 240w). Intel is still 2 nodes behind Apple (10nm vs 5nm).
