This isn't the UQX, which is expected to be $3,000+ USD. The UQX is still MIA despite now being two years after it was initially announced.

I wonder how on screen quality compares to my Asus XG438Q.

My XG438Q is brilliant in games, but I do way more work on this thing than I play games, and the font quality is quite honestly atrocious, no matter what settings you use.

I've been thinking about getting something else ever since I first got it. It has everything else that I want, but the terrible font quality on the desktop just kind of kills it for me.

I was thinking maybe one of the newer smaller LG OLED's might be what I get, but now my concerns about burn-in have been reignited, especially on the desktop with menu elements, etc.

The fallback choice would be something like this, but after my experience with the XG438Q, I'm going to have to be extremely cautious before I trust them again.
