Figured I'd make a thread for this monitor as it's officially been released. I have not bought an OLED as I am waiting to see how long before UHBR 2.0 makes it to OLEDs This monitor does advertise DP 2.1 but no specification on which UHBR it uses, if it's 13.5 or 20
So any of you lucky owners can reply to this thread on your impressions, review, complaints, etc. and help us all out,
Cheers!

I am patiently waiting for one of these companies to release the 480Hz WOLED with UHBR 20 
500Hz QD-OLEDs were announced just recently but they have the same sub pixel layout as the 360Hz monitors from last year. I tested one and the green/magenta text fringe was a little annoying. Hoping WOLED with their improved sub pixel layout will be better.

CES is soon so hopefully we'll see some nice announcements!
Re: 27" LG OLED 27GX790A-B 480Hz DP 2.1
Seems like nothing got announced with DP 2.1 UHBR20 for WOLED unfortunately.
@Chief, are there any 480Hz 1440p WOLEDs on the way in the future with full bandwidth DP 2.1? Maybe even 4K 27" models that can do other resolutions at higher refresh rates?

I am not the chief but the answer is currently a no.
I will however point out that MSI's 500Hz 1440p OLED supports full 80Gbps DP 2.1 UHBR 20.

Personally, I think MSI has been doing some good value adds with their QD-OLED monitors.
The MSI is obviously QD-OLED instead of WOLED but it's still probably the better option overall.
I'm not aware of any other 1440p 480Hz WOLEDs either announced or on the roadmap beyond the Asus and LG monitors. Those naturally support HBR3 and UHBR 13.5 respectively.
I would expect UHBR 20 to arrive with the next generation of WOLED. You can keep an eye here: https://tftcentral.co.uk/monitor_panel_parts
