At BestBuy while watching some full screen Youtube 4K HDR video at full resolution, I couldn't tell any noticeable difference between them. The clarity and color and smoothness was virtually indistinguishable with my eyes. Scrolling a webpage with text and images looked nearly the same smoothness. I'm assuming the OLED 1ms that they both have helps a lot more than a higher refresh rate on say a slower IPS panel.
The only difference was the text sharpness if I'm within 18 inches. The text looks super crisp on the 2.8K OLED while on the 1080P you can see a little fuzziness and antialiasing. Hopefully that can be fixed a little with some ClearType adjustments. It isn't that bad if I sit back at a normal distance or if I'm using an external monitor.
If you are gaming on your laptop with FPS the 60hz screen might be holding you back. If you are docking this for the most part I don't think it makes a difference.
Unfortunately it was all ASUS in the area and I couldn't get a side-by-side comparison between this one and an equivalent laptop with a 2K IPS from MSI / HP or another brand I was considering, but it held its own versus a 2.8K OLED.
MSI = older gen processor, slower CPU, IPS 144hz, 4050 6GB 45W, Max 64GB DD4, 1 M.2 and 1 2.5" slot, HDMI 4K/30hz
I think the MSI is held back with the low TDP versus other gaming laptops I've seen. In my opinion that makes this MSI not that great for gaming. If you are more focused on everything else besides gaming and enjoy having a really great screen to take on the go then this is Asus is a better deal.
My interest in this is purely because I need the brightness of its OLED screen since I'd be using it outside much of the time. I don't even need its color accuracy, JUST its brightness.
I'll never use the RTX 3050 as I don't game, and I would prefer a cool Ryzen 7 with iGPU instead.
I really wish the Yoga 7i 16" would come in a brighter variant since 2-in-1 would be perfect for me, and it feels and looks great. But that dim LCD is useless.
As it is, this ASUS is the only decent deal I can find on a 15.6" or larger with a numpad and a bright enough screen; min 16GB RAM, preferably upgradeable; of course upgradeable M.2. Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 is a contender (though more expensive) but its AMOLED isn't that bright (350 nits). My wife has the 13" and its barely useable outside.
If anybody has suggestions I am all ears and will be grateful.

Are u referring to the Q420VA Zenbook 14.5 OLED with 13700H?
As an update to my previous comment about the this Q530 not being as sharp with text. I went to a different BestBuy yesterday and the text didn't have that issue. It was like I expect a 15.6" with 1080P should be.
Perhaps the first one just had ClearType off. Or maybe the coating on the screen was bad like how some people complained about it on the recent BestBuy Q420VA deal on Slickdeals.
I hope when I get mine it'll be like the second BestBuy's version.
