At BestBuy while watching some full screen Youtube 4K HDR video at full resolution, I couldn't tell any noticeable difference between them. The clarity and color and smoothness was virtually indistinguishable with my eyes. Scrolling a webpage with text and images looked nearly the same smoothness. I'm assuming the OLED 1ms that they both have helps a lot more than a higher refresh rate on say a slower IPS panel.
The only difference was the text sharpness if I'm within 18 inches. The text looks super crisp on the 2.8K OLED while on the 1080P you can see a little fuzziness and antialiasing. Hopefully that can be fixed a little with some ClearType adjustments. It isn't that bad if I sit back at a normal distance or if I'm using an external monitor.
If you are gaming on your laptop with FPS the 60hz screen might be holding you back. If you are docking this for the most part I don't think it makes a difference.
Unfortunately it was all ASUS in the area and I couldn't get a side-by-side comparison between this one and an equivalent laptop with a 2K IPS from MSI / HP or another brand I was considering, but it held its own versus a 2.8K OLED.
