It's important to note that one can probably see and tell the difference but one might not care about it. I've listened to €100k audio setups and sure it's nice but I enjoy a €100 JBL bluetooth speaker as well. I can watch OLED TVs and think "yeah that looks good" but I will enjoy the movies just as much as on a 20 year old HD Ready! Sony or something. I have my 4K VA monitor next to the 1080p TN panel at home and I can tell the difference but I genuinely don't care about it, to the point I'm not even aware there is a difference At work I have a decent 24" IPS monitor next to an ancient 27" TN budget monitor and it's the same there.
Fair enough. I mean, proper HDR is something I am 95% sure you will enjoy. But if you don't watch a lot of HDR content, a more traditional LCD will do.

The reason OLED pop-up in showrooms is that most of the times, TVs are set to ridiculous saturation so they will be as eye-catching as possible. OLED happens to have a wider gamut and in those circumstances will show detail where LCD will crush it.

How’s it holding up to reflections? Is it just glossy glass or do they use micro-etching AG as Apple
Did in the Studio Display? How usable it’s in a well lit room?
Pretty much glossy glass with no visible coating. Very much like a LG C4 but in 32”.

Performance-wise, similar to the 32GS95UE, which makes sense as they are the same panel, but color/image-quality wise this Spectrum Black is superior as long as you have the Gorilla Glass version. But features-wise the LG is better with regards to the responsive OSD, fast panel transition times (e.g. switching between inputs, resolutions, etc) and the built-in speakers.

ok, that's why I am ordering OLED now and will prove it with my eyes tomorrow.
…how would that work anyway, are you going to mail everyone interested your eyeballs so that they can check for themselves or…?

This scam company has hundreds of my dollars and I have no monitor. I'll never get a monitor.

Take this review down or give them the publicity they deserve.... Which is that the have literally stolen thousands of dollars from people with nothing delivered, and they have been doing it for years.

Old Displayport Connections, OLED and external power supply unit but new HDMI Connections. No thanks. DP 2.1a claims to improve cable length and signal integrity.

It's seems to be impossible to integrate the power supply unit in a monitor.

Not true! My old Gigabyte Aorus CV27F monitor has the power supply built into the back of the monitor (inside the chassis of course) so you only have to plug in the power cord. There's no power brick to be found. I've become so used to it that it was a little jarring to see the huge power brick that came with my Asus PG32UCDM, lol.
