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.

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.
Mine was also having an intermittent weird horizontal band like artifact flickering for a while but it hasn't done it lately
LIM101 panel. Manufactured August 2021.

I mainly play fortnite on xbox series s on a very good monitor Benq ex2510, 1080p 165hz, which is almost the best 144hz 24 inch gaming monitor I would say
This hp x27q has a much lighter mount than benq.
It does not swivel. .
x27q has only one hdmi plus dp, while most monitor nowadays have 2 hdmi
In terms of color and gaming performance, hp is exactly the same with benq out of the box, which I am very happy with it. It does support 2k so I can see more details on fortnite
Then in terms of user interface, hp was very bad. the buttons were not convenient at all.
Overall, I am quite happy with the x27q, considering its price and performance. I know a LG monitor of a higher price tag used the same panel, and the height on that monitor was not even adjustable.
btw I just got my first #1 battle royle with hp x27p, after playing with it for only one hour...
