Sooo i just got both of the Monitors. (The Acer one and the LG 27GL850-B). First the Acer:
I compared it side by side with my old BenQ monitor and even tho BenQ is a TN panel and the Acer one has a IPS Panel the only really big difference was the brightness. After i someone even out the brightness of both monitors the image looked the same to me. In the default setting the color was preset to "warm". I googled a bit arround for other ppl settings since i cant calibrate the monitor myself. Now the Acer looks a tiny bit better maybe (or i just WANT it to look better?). While playing some Apex yesterday the only thing i noticed was the bigger screen from 24" to 27".
Today the LG arrived. It had way more stuff in the package than the Acer. It feeled way more "premium" to me. Now im running the Acer and LG in parallel to compare em side by side. Again the first image looked WAAAAAYYYYY better than on the Acer one but after turning down the brightness from 100% to a reasonable amount of like 50% it was still better than the acer one. I manually changed the monitor to 10bit colors for the LG one without any difference (not sure what i expected). But. BUT!
The Acer has 2 stuck pixels. Bot really close to the center. That was it. Its still in my 2 weeks of return window and i cant play with them cause i know it. Even tho i never saw them while playing apex.
But then the LG one... First i was WOW! NO dead pixel! i checked every color R,G,B without finding anything. But on black i first saw a single blue pixel on the far right side. I hoped to gently rub it out (didnt worked) or "flash" it away with fast changing of RGB colors -> still there. After finding that one i took a closer look. After 20 pixels that didnt showed clear black i stoped counting. They arnt "full" color like the blue one but its not completly black ether.
I uploaded some images showing the backlight bleeding from the LG and Acer. And the other images are of those stuck/dead pixels
I cleaned the screen before. MAYBE there is a bit dust aswell but if i sit in front of it i can see that those are bad pixels
