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.

Regardless, even a BOE panel doesn't undermine the sale, it's just unfortunate that favorable old stock was a partial selling point
The viewing angles are really narrow. Slightly off center and half the screen lights up like it's a TN panel or something. It's going back.
