There are no 'Evo' panels. I believe you are comparing WBC and WBE panels? According to LG, 'EVO' refers to both the panel and processing, and that either panel will offer the same picture quality. In testing by HDTVTest, brightness was identical.

Absolutely. Before, I was also under the misconception that EVO had to do with WBC versus WBE. I quickly realized that all C2 panels are driven by EVO tech. I found this review very helpful in understanding the differences in WBC and WBE:
1. The pink tint reported by many users was already enough for me to not want a WBE panel.
2. Peak brightness when comparing the two panels doesn't matter because the 42" already has a peak brightness cap due to its size.
Suffice to say that I'm very happy with my WBC panel.

does this have 4x HDMI split + USB-C PD like their 43' Professional IPS Monitor ?
No idea what "4x HDMI split" means but it does not have a USB-C port just 3 USB-A ports. It's a TV designed and marketed as such with standard inputs.
That being said I have one hooked to my PC and an XboxSX.
As a monitor it's pretty impressive. Text is clear even at scaled 200% at 3840x2160. The only thing I would complain about is the agressive ABL will often dim whiter screens and documents as a protection mechanism I understand. It's not like you can't read things just weird when you are not used to it with a regular monitor.
My real complaint is that movies and shows are just fuzzy looking regardless of picture modes and source inputs compared to some immensely cheaper non-oled tv's with 4K content. I understand that the HDR may not pop as well as the larger panels but I at least expected a high degree of detail and that does not seem to be the case.

Might be the noise reduction settings on the picture settings. I didn't like the fuzziness of some content and went over the settings to remove any noise reductions to keep the picture sharp for some movies and streaming shows.

My takeaway from reading the article was:
1. The pink tint reported by many users was already enough for me to not want a WBE panel.
2. Peak brightness when comparing the two panels doesn't matter because the 42" already has a peak brightness cap due to its size.

That said, nice to see it doesn't have the back weight/ hump the 48" has. Will probably have to wait a while for this to come down in price :'(.
