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.

I would trade off the higher 240hz for higher resolution at half the refresh rate. If you're a hardcore MUST WIN fps player, then the 240hz would be recommended. if your'e using it all around for multiple AAA games and some e-sports games and watching movies, editing photos/vidoes, then this HP 1440p monitor is better.

Edit: I see others mention OOS shows when in cart. Happy to have snagged one. Assuming this also qualifies for the 6% CB using the Amazon visa.
I use the monitor for work during the day at home, so I have no issues with text. I haven't checked if this is a BGR monitor like the Gigabyte (same panel from the same factory), but I definitely don't have issues with text and sharpness. Just buy one think later, if you don't like the clarity and text, you can always return to amazon easily.
