You possibly missed my earlier post where I noted that the GX8 has an OLED monitor.

I did note it, but since I've bought the G-85, I'm focused more on the features of the camera I have in hand.

However, from what I can tell, it does not have an OLED viewfinder (which was the critical feature I wanted). It does have an OLED back display. The camera labs GX-85 review in fact mentions that the EVF is not OLED.

Not the same camera (curse Panasonic for its so - similar current model names and confusing regional variations for some!). The GX8 is the big rangefinderrangefinder-style one with swivel screen and tilting EVF and both are OLED on that. The smaller GX80/85 IS not OLED for either - the EVF is field sequential. Which has its own issues.
