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.

x27q has two types of panels: one from LG (same as Dell S2721dgf) and one from BOE (the color is not as good and not PWM from what I read).
I heard nowadays all x27q uses BOE, but I want to know what the current amazon stock of x27q uses, whether it is LG or BOE.β

Keep the MENU button (top button) pressed and press the POWER button until the monitor boots up, then release the MENU button
Press the MENU button to go into the OSD and go the bottom entry, there will be some new entries.

Also it's really weird that they would include "2021 model" if they are sending out units that apparently were changed in early 2022.
I bought one last sale and this sale. So if I get a BOE I will compare it side by side, if it's any worse at all I'll return it in a heartbeat
Reddit also confirm BOE panel during this second batch
