Love this monitor from the previous Treasure truck deal. Get it and set up a multi-monitor setup that can handle gaming and work.
Hi sir, do you know which panel yours uses?
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.​

Turn monitor off
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 the hardware revision should show this, BIM111 on the BOE panels and LIM101 in the LG panels. Don't know if the hardware revision its printed in the box.

Is this still worth it if it has the BOE panel? Trying to determine whether I should keep my Asus VG27aq ($254 after tax) or keep this one for over $70 less. I guess I'll try this out when I receive it and decide.

Oh man, wish I knew this was a possibility. Can anyone confirm? I returned the Philips deal from the other day and bought this instead.

I bought it in March and it was the lg panel. The Amazon page specifically stated it was the 2021 model so I don't think there is much to worry about. Worse case is send it back and be patient for another deal for a different monitor

True. I guess I should have waited on the Philips return. Sometimes the gut tells you that it's right, and sometimes it's wrong.

Wow that's crazy, during the sale in March I don't recall anybody from another forum getting BOE. What does it say exactly?
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

I received one with BOE panel. The monitor I got from the first treasure truck in March used LG panel

Reddit also confirm BOE panel during this second batch

I got two and both are LIM111 - assume that means newer version of LG
