So I also got an LG from Vacaville, CA. Got both side by side with the BOE from Aurora. I honestly can't tell a difference between the two. Maybe I got lucky? So take this as my own experience as all panels are gonna be different and you may get unlucky or more lucky than me. Also, my eyes are pretty good, but it's not statistical data.

I did a white, red, green screen test to check for dead pixels, none on either panel. Did a full black screen in a pitch dark room and didn't notice any glaring light bleed one way or the other for either panel. Colors both look vibrant and bright compared to each other on a 4K video I shot with my iPhone12 Pro. There did seem like there was some resolution issues on the BOE where the image got blurry at some parts, but when I paused the video to really compare to the LG, I couldn't find it or it was just my eyes deceiving me. Did a very, very small gaming sample on both monitors and did not notice anything extremely different between the two. At this price, unless you find something glaringly wrong with the monitor, I think both panels are pretty decent at this price.

Oh, I also compared the LG side by side to the Dell S2721DGF as I bought that monitor a few weeks ago. The Dell is more vibrant in color, but I don't think the Dell is $125 better than the HP. I wouldn't pay the asking price for the HP now, but at $175, it's a no brainer. Take all this with a grain of salt as this is purely my experience with the three monitors in front of me and your experience may be different.

IPS monitors always have some slight lightbleed. if you're on the fence and need a perfect ips without light bleed, then you're not after deals. you can't beat an IPS 165hz 27" 1440p $175 price anywhere. it's like you're asking if there is the issue of space on a $100,000 Lamborghini vs another typical $200,000 sports car of the same specs.

How often they have this "Treasure Truck" deal? Like how long this kind of deal usually last and do the deal item change daily at certain time or until sold out?

Question though , regarding refresh rates, is this one better even though it's lower due to the higher resolution?
