So I reckon if you play Blu-Rays on this monitor you will get some minor IPS Glow otherwise it’s fine. I didn’t buy the monitor to play Blu-Rays it’s mainly for desktop and gaming use. I challenge you to try some Blu-Rays to prove or disprove my findings.
I don’t think your experience of this monitor is the norm, certainly your IPS Glow is a lot worse than mine and I only really get it when playing dark scenes in Blu-Rays. If I display a blank screensaver screen there’s no visible IPS Glow.

Last I heard end of the week. My RMA is with OC now just got my email so I should get a unit if a delivery is this week <crosses fingers>
RMA it, you’re the second person to take one for the team.
it's a great monitor. Was really enjoying it, but they seem to have a production quality problem.
ocUK must have sold over 100 of these and with two failures that we know about that’s 2% failure rate
there are a few comments in the thread about differences, varying glow, gap around the bezel and a couple outright failures. Builds a picture of poor quality control which is a real shame as I love my LG TV and this monitor when worked had me very pleased. Maybe the price I pay for getting a model like this early in its run.
Anywhoo have requested an RMA but unlikely I'll get a replacement any time soon I guess given stock levels.

I received mine and it has worked fine for a few days and then started to flicker and grainy.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I feel your pain - when I took it out and it was in danger of giving me epilepsy - my heart sank

@NikTheSHNIK - Is there any info about these failures? Is there an ETA on their RMA’s or when the next batch is coming in?
I’m getting apprehensive about my preorder.

I have sent a request for RMA on mine, but I am considering waiting to send it in, as there is no stock at all here in Norway.

It’s not a big issue, but I expect better for this price.

Here's a blank screensaver screen on mine...

Bear in mind the camera makes it look worse than it is.

I have been using a PG279Q for five years and the itch for 4K has really dig in lately. I’m tempted for this one but haven’t even played once on HDR and I could buy the Acer X27 for 1500€ which I guess has to be a sight to behold. But then I think in all the possible issues (switching modes between games/desktop/movies) and the LG27gn950 seems like an easier, more enjoyable monitor.
I need help.

If it helps I went from the PG279Q to this monitor and I'm very happy with the upgrade, assuming you can push it with a decent specced system. I don't watch movies on either screen, only used for work and gaming. The HDR is meh but I don't think that any monitors will compete with OLED in this regard so I am not too hung up on it.
