HDMI 2.1 would have been nice for guaranteed VRR console support, but I guess that $1 per port is still too much for these cheapo manufacturers...

It's a fast VA panel which is great and miniled. I posted this on Reddit after buying it(comes in today)

Where did you get the older model for that price? Thanks!
I have an Acer X275K P3 that I paid twice as much ($600 + tax) for and I hate it. The IPS panel they used does not lend itself well to FALD, even 1 degree off center and it blooms like crazy, it's so distracting. I use black wallpaper so it's extremely noticeable around the desktop icons and kind of a worst case scenario, but it's still an issue during any dark scenes in games/movies. Plus Acer never released a single firmware update to address any issues, not one.
I saw a photo comparing the Q27G3XMN to the X275K P3 (wish I could find it again but don't remember where) and it's a night and day difference with horizontal axis shift blooming, and the Q27G3XMN only has 336 zones compared to the new 40 model's 1152. VA is just better for FALD mini-LED implementations.
There's always a chance AOC screwed something up badly enough that despite the extra dimming zones this monitor still isn't worth upgrading to, so I'd wait for professional testing.

I don't know if the Innocn M2V-something was going to be any better but the G3XMN was the one recommended to me if I wasn't going to go OLED but wanted the best gaming experience.
