These aren't bad if you know their strenghts and weaknesses.
Strengths -
Price. These are amazing for the price and a clear upgrade over IPS.
Brightness in SDR (what you use most of the time) and HDR. These can get insanely bright.
Weaknesses -
Its a VA panel. You are going to get some ghosting. The colors are a little washed out compared to IPS. Viewing angles are pretty bad.
Halo around bright items with dark backgrounds. I don't think this is a huge deal and personally think its looks kind of natural.
There are a new set of QD-OLED displays that were released the last few months. These are all 240hz, 200 nits SDR, and usually 400 nits HDR. I'd rather take this mini led since 200 nits on those new oleds is abysmal and barely usable.
At it's best this thing is spectacular, legitimately rivals OLED... but there's more than a few tradeoffs for the monitor experience outside of HDR gaming and a few firmware bugs.
I have had this for 4 weeks now, I can tell you that it is an amazing monitor. I have no firmware bugs, this is the newest version of this monitor. The Q27G3XMN was the first version with 336 dimming zones, HDR1000 and adjustable stand. Then the Q27G40MN, this had a lot of firmware bugs at launch with upgraded 1,152 dimming zones and a nonadjustable stand and HDR1000. This model the Q27G4ZMN has an adjustable stand like the 3X, 1,152 dimming zones, HDR1000, and the firmware I have is solid. It is a VA panel but in no way does it have washed out colors, and yes it gets very bright. Games look amazing on this. Yes, you can get a cheap QD-OLED for a little bit more but it will not be as bright as this and you can get burn-in. But it really depends on your room conditions OLED vs Mini LED. No, it doesn't have HDMI 2.1 but if you only use this on a PC or don't use it for a console gaming @ 1440p with VRR it doesn't matter. It does 240hz over DP 1.4. The Q27G3XMN is on sale for 269.99 on the same link.
