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.

No IPS glow. No backlight bleed. No dead pixels. Running hdmi until I get new cable usbc to display port for my legion 5 pro. Looks great in Mechwarrior 5.
Folks really should try monitor out before just sending back.
I will note colors don't quite Pop! Like laptops screen (which is really brilliant when rtx3070 is at full blast). I will eventually have some time to play with the settings.

I also recommend anyone who received the BOE panel give it a shot before returning. It is supposed to be very comparable yo the LG panel. I'm not sure if the differences would even be noticeable. My LG panel has noticeable IPS glow and BLB, so it's not like the LG panels are perfect. For $180 its hard to beat either panel, IMO.

I got the LIM111 and it looks great. Not really any different than the previous lim101 I got. The viewing angle is excellent on these, in a fairly lit room I had no problem seeing things on the screen at a 45 degree angle
Just checked comments and saw there are multiple panels- looks like I lucked out! Got the LIM 101.
Ordered a few minutes after receiving the text for the deal.

Time has little to do with what panel you received but if you want to be helpful, location is probably more important, specifically where it was shipped from.
