So this arrives back fix from RMA tomorrow.
Fixed issue with OLED LCM - Replaced
Fixed issue with monitor main board - Replaced
Will most like now stick it on EBay for £550...
Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P Flat QD-OLED: 32" 4K 240Hz with DisplayPort 2.1, KVM

Out of curiosity - what monitor are you using instead?
Soldato
They have a Samsung G80SD

They/It.
So any sign of burn in from work (8h+/day?) usage?
Though keeping room brightness moderate allowing decreasing monitor's brightness possibly increases durability lot.
This article hints to pixel wear rate increase being more toward exponential than linear when ramping up the brightness:
Brighter isn’t better for OLED monitors. An expert told me the surprising reason why
The most common criticism of OLED gaming monitors is that they don't get bright enough, but there's a good reason for that.

Prices are starting to come to attractive level.
I guess true pixel perfect contrast and hence more "pop" in image should mitigate some decrease of gamut in cyan/greens from current also AdobeRGB capable monitor.
Really like having good vibrancy in colours when gaming/media content.
I see enough of different shades of grey outside with not much green until over five months from now...

Depends on what you want.
For one thing Samsung has clearly matte coating making it different from the others with semi-glossy surface.
Also connectivity is lower end with less of them like no USB-C and its HDMI ports aren't true full speed 48Gbps 2.1 port but 40Gbps.
MSI has full speed HDMI ports and USB-C, but USB-As are again medieval USB 2 ports.
FO32U2 does better in there cutting only DP 2.1.
It's hard to find information, but suspect pixel wear increases exponentially at least at higher brightnesses.
This hints toward that:
As an example, Qiu pointed to theoretically increasing the brightness by 20%. “The end consumers want it to be 20% brighter, right? So it could be, instead of it needing to be 20% brighter, it could have 1.5x longer lifetime.”

High temperature would be another killer.
So external power brick is very good thing from that aspect by removing that heat source from behind panel.
Definitely myself very close to pulling trigger to get "pixel perfect" contrast and proper viewing angles like in CRTs.
Dimmish room illumination allowing lower brightness and lowish room temperature should go long way toward getting multiple years before significant "burn out" of pixels.
At least Monitors Unboxed's worst case torture test got to 9 month mark with only little increase from 6 months.

And Monitors Unboxed's QD-OLED burn in test (9 month mark update few days ago) is quite literally torture test with continuous high brightness.Brighter isn’t better for OLED monitors. An expert told me the surprising reason why

no sign of burn in.
