I'll be waiting for in depth reviews from the likes of Hardware Unboxed etc, not sure I agree about the dislike for the matt coating, I don't wanna stare at myself when I'm on my PC 
My LG TV I managed to angle it down slightly to avoid glare from the window behind the sofa and that works great, but you can't do that when sitting 80cm away from the monitor.

My concern with this monitor is the oled vrr raised blacks. 240 frames is a lot to push, and demanding games running at around 130 fps will have noticeable near black raise. I wonder if that is why the guy in the video above was pointing out some poor near black performance in shadows: playing a game at half native hz with vrr on will give that result.

Its comes with the tech. It will have to be a hardware fix.

From what I see in the reviewx, the matte likely won't be much of an issue personally. And my room is dimmed. I'll be buying it immediately once Netherlands has them in stock!
Knowing Asus, they have the reliability of a goat. They say Q1? They probably meant Q1 2024. They always take way too long to release the cool tech.
HDR is useless to me as I don't have any HDR content nor do I plan to use. 240Hz is indeed a lot to push but it supports 1440p60 according to the manual. Perfect for my 1080Ti.
-edit-
Just heard his complaints about the matte and ****, I guess I have to try the monitor. If not good, it will be returned. Seriously LG, can't you just get things right for once?!
Glossy OLED tvs have the best picture but when it comes to monitors, noooooo, make it matte....

lol matte on an oled is an issue, it looks awful as stated in Dawid's review. Hey if you prefer a grid like film over you $1000 oled screen and don't care about image quality, then go for it.

There are crazy sellers on US Ebay scalping this monitor lol. Someone sells it at $1500 (open box) and other one is selling at $1800. Even one is selling at $1199 open box lol

Hmmmm. The coating issue has put me off a bit.

Have you got the review of videos or pics?
Not really seeing a problem with the coating. It seems like they have gone for one of the better coating options. No real issue with it.
This could have been perfect if it were gloss. Waited years for a 27 oled and the coating is a real kicker. If there is no alternative then I will just have to put up with it but yeah, come on LG. Some of us want deep blacks and vibrant colours on our 1k monitor.
Used a gloss as work yesterday and it was horrible with all the major glare. The coating on this one seems the best of both worlds. It looks to be not full on matt just enough to stop the worst of the glare without killing the colours and brightness as much as full matt. Its a no win really, what ever the coating they use someone will complain its the wrong type.
I don't mind the fact that it's matt, if I'm also using them all day at work I don't want reflections all over the place, but from the review above it seems like they've slapped a 2" coat on there 
It’s a crazy idea but maybe they should offer both finishes…madness I know.
In an office environment that’s fine, that’s what a Matt finish is for. But most gamers play with the lights off anyway!
