I do love the OLED, but do I love it $300 more? That's to be determined.
Quick story: there was a price drop during the 15-day return period on an open-box laptop I purchased. Best Buy doesn't price match their own open box items. So I returned the laptop, which I purchased in "excellent" condition (it looked brand new with 7 hours on it). Turns out, later that day, that laptop popped up at that same store in "good" condition. Sure enough, it was the same exact laptop I had returned (the box had very particular markings on it) that was still in excellent condition.
The Asus is what I own but it requires a lot of tinkering to get temps under control.

The Acer with mini-LED doesn't have a 32 GB option so you're stuck with 16 GB forever.
HP Transcend's OLED also doesn't do G-sync. The upcharge for 32 GB (4070 model) is also $500 more.
Since I need 32 GB, the Asus had the best specs for my usage. Shame the memory is only 4800 MHz, but otherwise the Asus has a great all around package (specs, keyboard, speakers). My wife's 2022 G14 has been great, so I'm rolling the dice on an $841 Excellent open-box.
Some IPS glow is to be expected with mostly any IPS panel. I have a nice 1440p Gigabyte IPS screen that has a small amount of IPS glow, I rarely ever notice it. I don't use a screen at 100% brightness in a dark room so IPS glow is not an issue for me. Obvious backlight bleed though, I would not be happy with.

I've handled the slim 5 and this seems like it has slightly worse build quality. Trackpad feels less responsive.
Also, the fans blow hot air at the bottom of the screen which seems inefficient and possibly causing screen damage over long term.
Screen has worse clarity than the slim 5 oled but it is still nice and bright.
For 800 it was a great deal.
