I updated the firmware to run it at 180hz with 10 bit colour. I'm very impressed. The brightness is more than enough for me and HDR looks great. I'm running VRR and haven't noticed any flicker.

El tema es que no te deja los 10bits, o sea, 1440p a 180hz a 8bits y 1440p a 144hz max 8bits
Salió una actualización del g50sf que habilita el dp 1.4 llega y de sobra a 180 hz + 10 bits hdr sin dsc
27GX704A-B is 240hz vs G50SF 180hz
The G5 OLED is meant to provide people with a more budget friendly OLED monitor for $550 with next cheapest option being being the G6 240hz for $800
the reason im not going for g50sf is the matte coating which has its own problems (oily colors, bad clarity and bad contrast in a bright room)
