I just picked up this monitor as my first oled and I just feel underwhelmed. I wanted to get some opinions on whether I just had unrealistic expectations or if the monitor is, in fact, the issue. To start, I seem to have gotten lucky and there's no obvious banding issues that others have reported. The HDR is extremely washed out when web browsing or doing anything that isn't HDR content.

I just got mine yesterday and will be returning it. The text clarity is poor. Win11 display setting is 1440p resolution at 100% Recommended Scaling. It's blurry. Other monitors I have are MSI 321UP 4k QD-OLED, Gigabyte G27Q 1440P 144Hz, LG 27GR93U 4K 144Hz. 27GX700A is the worse. I turned up Sharpness in Settings to 80 (default 50) and it helped but still bad.

I wouldn't buy this because I've been using 4K for the last five years and it's only 1440. Furthermore text clarity is poor at 1440 especially without ClearText. I'm looking forward to seeing tandem WOLED with higher resolution and probably 32" size.
