I'm actually planning on picking one up after work today. Great video, thanks!

Great review! I like your solution for the auto dimming.

I believe that even ALL MIGHT would approve of this message😅! Always make some phenomenal content and are the reason for my last 4 purchases, thank you for being so reliable and genuinely fair with your reviews, it’s helped me out tremendously when it came to solid decision making and not making sporadic choices with needless cost on things that just simply aren’t needed. Have a blessed day sir and know that your doin “the lords work😂” with these super fresh reviews!

BTW, u can disable ASBL in like 1 minute with color control app, u just install it on PC, if it share same wi fi/internet as soon u open app u see ur TV connected, and service menu will open on tv and u disable asbl, no need for special remote or anything.

I am using the C3 55 as a monitor and it's awesome. It's worth noting the newer c2/c3 have a different pixel layout to older OLED and this really counteracted any burn in... but make sure you get 5/6 year warranty.

The walnut accents on the tower...chef's kiss!

Amazing video as always

I just got an OLED TV, and using it as a monitor as well. So far I love it and have very little complaints RESPECT! ✊🏾

It’s my everything, mounted on the bunk window of my semi truck. I use it for TV and console gaming, and intend to use it when I get my next laptop

I've been using this TV as a monitor for 1 year. I use it daily on Windows for 3D modeling, architecture and gaming. Overall I am very happy with it. The OLED holds its reputation as an amazing panel. I did a ton of research before buying it, however, after one year of use, I realize any of the reviews mentioned the weakest point on this TV. It is not auto dimming (I use mine at 20% brightness just fine), not burn-in (dark mode looks amazing), not the screen size (I want a bigger one lol). The bad part that no one talks about is: the subpixel layout on this TV creates a NOTICEABLE edge around green and yellow colors! If you work on things like websites with white background and then choose a bright green or yellow accent color for your design, that edge really shows and you will be frustrated.

Great vid, thanks for this! How close are you to the TV? I just built a desk and its only about 24 inches deep so I'd be pretty close. I think my use cases (console gaming, pc gaming, photo editing, watching sports) outweigh the issues being too close to the screen bring though. Thoughts?

I just purchased this tv for work. I do not do any gaming, but having the large screen for multiple windows, crisp text, and bright colors is a game changer.

Great video bro👏

I not only appreciate the level of detail and time you pour into each and every video and product review, but love the commentary of getting curb stomped by children in Warzone. Cheers, fellow exhausted Dad!

I got a C3 just before Black Friday for about $860 (plus tax). I am using it exclusively as a PC display, paired with an RTX 3080ti. The only issue I've discovered is that if I allow my system to drive the FPS past 119hz the screen goes black. But that only happened when I was trying to use the display in SDR mode, before limiting my 'Max FPS' in the control panel. I'll also note that I've used some 40" TVs for Displays in the past, and as long as I can sit an appropriate distance from the display it's just a large display.

Using LG C3 42” with Mac and PC via USB-C to HDMI cables. It allows me to do dual display in smaller 20” equivalent form, but really sharp text.

Thx for the video, I plan to buy one of this for a macbook/Xbox set up. I noticed that your macbook is plug by usb-c, are you using a hub or a usb-c to hdmi cable ?

Great review, do you find the image to be blurrier when playing at 1440p on a this 4K screen?

Llevo con ella un año usándola como monitor anclada a la pared para ajustar la distancia en cada momento, la uso a un metro, la mejor decisión que hice fue comprar esta tv para mi pc. uso fondo negro y oculto escritorio, dato que creo que es crucial para cuidarla, y brillo máximo off, lo cual viene de fabrica oculto en modo juego. Mi opinión es que es una tv para usar en un cuarto sin mucha luz y no la vas a romper fácil, si andas con el brillo alto seguramente si.

I have the 65" version for my PS5 and main Media usage. I'm planning to get a 42" for my main PC rig as well. Thank you for this informative video. After trying to play 4k off my 3080 12GB from my 65", I'm ditching my duel monitor 1440p setup as this TV will make my setup look a lot cleaner. 1440p even looks great on this TV too if I ever do need to downscale a bit.

Great video what are the sizes of your desk relating to length and width and is it sufficiant big to be far enough from the LG C2 Old?

If you have a 30 series or 2.1 hdmi - get this - it's unreal in immersion - and I use it as a software engineer and split windows in fours, it's like have four screens, works awesome and looks amazing!

This video is perfect for me bc I also have a 2070 and I didn’t think about 1440p 120hz being an option! Thought I’d have to just live with 4K 60hz

@Minimalistech Do you mind sharing what brand desk your using? I love this set up!

Your macbook pro is the 16 inch? if yes, question: you can put it on the bottom to use it on the bottom of the 42, the 16 won't interferes with the 42? Overall my goal is use the 16 inch and the main monitor and the 42 as secondary, to avoid use external keyboards or mouse.

Can you try displaying a few stock graphs at the same time and let me know how it goes? Thanks.

Subbed cause you're an accountant too lol I'm a CPA that loves Tech. I'm surprised you haven't quite by now with all your subs. I"ll take these over busy tax season lol

I have the 55' for my xbsx absolutely beautiful display.

I use a 65 as a monitor 😂. People used to think 27 was too big back in 2010, then they thought 32 was too big, then 42, then 47, then 55, I'm living in the future where people think 77 is too big for a monitor 😂😂

Will you bother upgrading your pc or stick to console? Now I have my PS5 and with the price of current gpus I’m not so sure I want to continue with the pc path

I did it LG 42 C2 Oled Amazon Big Deals Day saved me 300 bucks 😊

Damn that's a huge router dude!

The 42" C2 is peaches & cream. I love this display on my high end gaming PC.

i'm still deciding between this and the A90K 42 Sony

Absolutely love that monitor shelf you have the c2 on. it feels like it was made for it. A little pricey but I might just have to save up for it. Is that the medium or the large?

Love my C2 since it launched. I need a PC/Console display that will not disappoint in gaming, when it comes to gaming features and colors/HDR. The thing that I really love about it is the lack of matte coating...Gloss is Boss!

What is the height between the desk and the bottom of the screen? Just ordered one and preparing for the new setup 😊

should i wait for the c4 or should i just get the c2 or c3? im wondering if the MLA technology on the G series will come to the C4...i guess its a risk

Scored two 42" C2 for $799 each for me and my wife. Her job switched to two days a week in-office hybrid and mine just went full-time remote. Working on a 42" screen is the BIGGEST productivity game changer EVER!

Gorgeous work! Question, do you feel like the dimming drives you insane? I’ve seen a lot of people talk about that, but then say they love it overall. I see some people say they’ve used the factory remote to stop dimming, and other people say it doesn’t work. What’s your experience if you don’t mind sharing, please? Thanks!

How is it compared to 55” LG C2? I heard the larger size are more brighter but I’ve always heard that the 42” has better ppi?

can I get the wallpaper link which is displayed for the 1st 10 seconds of the video?

I didn't really like it at first because I was coming from a curved gaming monitor but after getting used to it and getting the settings tweaked just right it actually looks amazing. By far the best Monitor I've ever used with a Computer. Also, I bought the remote and removed that aggressive auto-dimming crap...it effects color and brightness even when you don't realize it is...it's far too aggressive. They removed the ability to do this on the C3, so don't get the C3 it's basically the exact same thing as the C2, in fact they hid the chip model number on the C3 as well so that people wouldn't know it's the same exact monitor.

2nd day with C2 and a new Corsair i-7400 4090 Vengeance. Main issue is like NOW when I am typing this, it's OK, but the white area is dim and looks gray. I turned off ALL the settings w/ser remote. Watched all the videos on set up, I WISH it was brighter. I game but I also work and I was studying for a test and the screen is white, and it annoys me. So not sure if I am doing something wrong?

tom's guitar hanging there

Interesting. The 42" may be the best for me. I have somewhat cramped space.

Is there an issue with the short distance view for your eyes? I mean could it have bad effects sitting so near?

What about USB-C? does oled C2 supports something like that?! i see you have your laptop connected with one cable so i am curious!

Can you put a link to the walnut monitor stand etc, thanks

hello, can you tell me how it looks with BFI on? can you make a video about it? thank you

I actually own this TV and bought it with the aim to use it like this. However in the end I’ve bought a G95T due to widescreen matte and no auto dimming. The C242 is amazing for gaming and movies though so when I build my office this year that will be side extension I’ll use both (it will be narrow so 42 tv will work well). I also considered the Apple display and have 2 older thunderbolt ones but I don’t do creative work so the G9 works better for me. We have so many of the same products and use cases I love your channel the moment I found it a long time ago!

You can use an addaptor from dp 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 bit you might have to sacrifice gsync to get it

Great this video is just what I wanted to see! Just got a new custom pc and wanted to switch from 38UW to this c2. I think u got me convinced. Still capped at @120fps is the only downside imo. Plus I don’t think it will make a difference for you using a displayport cable because your card won’t be able to drive 4K more than 60fps no? Thanks for the awesome video!

C3 is out now. I wonder when the next generation would come out?

looking to buy this tv as a monitor, what's your desk depth?

I have this for a month and I love that. Like 4 windows on 4k 100% scaling and I can scale my laptop to 125% easily.

you can use a displayport to hdmi 2.1 cable to get 120hz

I've been considering this. I have a Samsung M7B 43 inch smart monitor. It's only 60hz 4k which is ALMOST perfect for my Series X, but runs 4:4:4 chroma perfectly for PC text at only $400. Is the text presented properly? I've seen these returned for that productivity issue.

Do you have a link for your desk?

How to set it up and what apps to use for the translate monitor mode

I noticed that you were looking up while using the tv. Aren't you having ergonomic issues?

i ordered the c3 to pair with m2 mac studio. im excited for the extra screen real estate and oled. im worried that 2024 will bring vast improvements.

what are you using to scale the mac UI on the 42" oled?

what size is your desk? So hard to find desk deeper than 80 cm/30 inch

Is the auto dimming problem fixed with the new firmware?

What chair do you use?

Excellent video, thanks! Difficult to pull the trigger on a C2 now the C3 is out... C3 fixes the auto dimming in its latest firmware too. All depends on the price!

Good day, can you use a hdmi 2.1 to display port 1.4 cable? And will it run to 120hz ? I also have an older gpu the 5700xt. Im a bit hesitant to grab the C2 as can find much information on having this setup.

Must-have software if you got an LG CX/C1/C2: ColorControl. You can easily switch between modes with hotkeys and get access to the service menu. - A happy C2 (and C9) owner.

what frames you running on pc with this monitor on overwatch dude?

If the main usage is financial spreadsheets, is this better than my curved ultrawide LG monitor (LG UltraGear 34GL750 led 34")???

Is this monitor still good ? I do t wanna buy one then a couple of months there’s dead pixels

Awesome review but i was wondering about burn in,heard that is a thing in case of using an oled tv as a monitor. I would be hooking it up to my pc and mostly for web browsing,vaping product reviews both on video and written,media playing mostly movies and tv series. I was thinking of getting a Dell G3223Q 32" 4K UHD (3840x2160) but this LF you reviewed looks sweet.

Have the 42 c2 bud is it safe to use it as a gaming pc monitor risk of burn in faster ?

Nice video 📹

You can turn off auto dimming via the app or the tv itself. You don't need the remote.

Which one do you recommend flat monitor 42 inch or curve?

I bought a used c2 oled last week for 500 dollars. It’s in perfect condition

What kinda table depth (width) is required to view 42” comfortably?

Thanks for the video! was considering getting the 42 C2 but was really worried about the SDR brightness being pretty low. Did you get to experience any SDR games like playing on Nintendo Switch, if so was it pretty decent or nah?

Just bought one. Gonna try it out for a week but If I don’t like it will return. Worried about using it for work as I’m on zoom calls a lot I fear it the dimming will bother me too much

What are you desk dimensions please?

This is the most beautiful straight to the point and perfect review i have ever watched! Good Work

One canot seat in front of huge 43 in and surf websites so 32 some how manageable any oled model in 32 ? And promotion discounts bundle etc ?

Hello, i want to use this as productivity and gaming. However, lot of reviewers say that productivity is not good on oled as it will cause burn in. What do you think?

I'm using the LG ultragear 48gq900

Can you tell me the wallpaper name please or can you share the website or link so i could download ?

Thanks. Curious the dimensions of your desk?

Hi, Is the ppi of this TV matches ok in comparison with the computer monitors?? I think this have s ppi of ~110 as shown in googling, were as monitor has ~140

I've been using a 50" Samsung MU8000 4k TV for years as a monitor. It's big, really big as a monitor. Good for working, but gaming is hard as the TV is larger then my FOV. I've been debating getting the 42" C2 OLED for months now, but I'm having a hard time to justify getting it as the 48" is the same price.

What kind of deal do youuuu use

Should i buy c2 42" or samsung neo g8 32" for console

There seems to be a problem that my LG C2 OLED TV has, when it comes to connecting to a laptop. It's quite late in response times and the refresh rate is disappointingly low, despite being set to 120Hz on the laptop.

7:05 How did you get to that 99 PPI? 42" at 3840x2160 is 105 PPI.

Whats the light on top of the tv for?

Link to the desktop background / wallpaper images please !

How big is your desk?

I'd use that

Hi - Nice video, very high quality. Noticed you showed yourself video editing. I was wondering if you have issues uploading captured HDR footage to your editing software in a single monitor setup like this? Most setups seem to be 2 monitors minimum and have to use a "DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K" to get the HDR content into e.g. Adobe or DaVinci - I only found out about this today! I've done casual editing on DaVinci Resolve before on a traditional monitor. Last year I changed my single PC setup from 3 monitors to 1 single 42" LG OLED. I can capture HDR footage without issue, have tried uploading it etc and watching on other devices to check the colours etc, all good. What I didn't realise this would affect is my ability to edit within DR, I naively assumed it would all be smooth sailing! Today I uploaded the same HDR footage into DR and was surprised to see it washed out etc. I tried all sorts before resorting to the internet. I had no idea the workflow process was so complicated (amateur user) for using an OLED - it also appears that it's almost impossible where the OLED is your only monitor, i.e. the one you are going to record on, edit on and post process on. Are you playing in HDR, whilst capturing your footage in SDR and then editing it with HDR turned off on the OLED?
