let me know how you like when you get it 🔥

Thanks I appreciate the feedback 🔥 this is great for PS5 gaming and I know you’re going to love it

🔥 Thanks ! LG makes some of the best OLED displays

You’re welcome and I appreciate the feedback 🔥

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it 🔥 If you're worried about reflections of daylight, I would recommend looking into black out curtains. I have 2 separate desks, but where you see me use it on the monitor arm is my primary work desk where its not directly at window sunlight. SInce this is glossy, reflections are very obvious on these types of displays

🔥 great choice !

Gracias 🙏🏽 quisiera ir a España un día 🔥

At the moment : H9 Elite case RYZEN 9 7900X ASUS B650E-F 128GB DDR5 RAM 🐏 RTX 4090 2TB 980 Pro NZXT Kraken Elite 360

I’m not sure I never tried that option when I was reviewing it, but I looked into on Reddit forums and a user confirmed that it does support it which is called “dual of mode” but limits the HZ to 30

I haven’t noticed screen tears. I’m also using a 4090 so not sure if that’s also a factor

It’s definitely the super glossy display and 4K resolution making it look so good 🔥

@@FIREWOLFTECH Facts bro 🔥It's my end game display until it breaks, and I'd just get the updated one at that point.

Nice man, how you liking the C3 ?

Nm just that it’s fire 🔥 lol how is it so far v

I've always wanted to experience that cockpit setup for racing, looks fun ! Let us know how the LG C3 performs for your setup

@@FIREWOLFTECH Will do. It arrives on Tuesday. I'm pretty hyped for it. I've been wanting an OLED screen for my PC for a while. I've also moved the PS5 to the back room where my rig is in preparation so that I can play GT7 as well (I don't have a wheel in my living room and I share that OLED with my wife). At 42 inches I'm hoping that once I dial in the FOV there should be enough screen space to allow use of the in game car mirrors. But yeah it is a lot of fun, especially in VR. It doesn't get used as much though... It's hassle to set up and I need make sure my dogs aren't eating my house lol

@@FIREWOLFTECH Got it all set up today. So I do have some glitching on screen which seems to be caused by my HDMI cable. It is up to super speed spec (48Gbps) but I'm guessing the quality isn't good enough so I have a new one on order. I needed a second cable anyway because I had a brain fart and forgot that TVs don't come with HDMI cables. That aside, it looks fantastic compared to the monitor I was using (Coolermaster GM34 ultrawide). It mounts quite easily to my cockpit and I even installed one of the legs to use as a makeshift holder for my headphones. The OS itself is nice and snappy although you do have to jump through a couple of hoops if you're hopping between screens like I am. I noticed the auto dimming was very aggressive out of the box but the update seems to have fixed that issue. I really like the game optimiser UI which is great as this screen is almost exclusively for my PC and PS5. It also surprised me how reflections aren't quite as obvious on the glass panel. This may be my positioning but compared to my LG OLED in the lounge, it's a massive improvement. It performed as expected with PS5. I had a few blips when setting up as I like to turn off all post processing including black equaliser, however doing this murdered dark details so I put it back. Also note that when using on PC you need to choose 4K under PC resolution in Nvidia control panel, and NOT 4K in the UltraHD/HD section (you won't get above 60Hz). In the context of my racing rig, Gran Turismo 7 looked great however the game has incredibly limited options in terms of altering the cockpit view, so I couldn't get it to realistically match my position. That aside I had a blast and 42 inches gives enough scale to be able to judge corners properly. The only other thing I will say in regards to PC gaming is to be mindful of the gamma. I played some Elite Dangerous and the banding was absolutely horrific until I lowered the gamma in the options. So bare in mind that some games may need a visit to the in game brightness settings to get it looking right. All in all, I can't complain. And thank you for being one of the people I used in my research before purchasing. One thing I especially appreciated (intended or not) was that you showed your Nvidia control panel with the resolution settings in your video. This told me that I could have full dynamic range, RGB, 32bit colour depth, 12bit colour output, 120Hz and 4K at the same time. Not all screens allow you to use all features, for example my monitor has to be dropped down to 120Hz (from 144Hz) in order to enable RGB and full dynamic range. That was something I was specifically looking for so nice one.

I’ve been using a 65” CX as a main screen the last three years, mostly for Star Citizen and flight sims but it handles everything from COD to Diablo no problems. I’m still surprised by the quality years later. Just picked up a 55” C3 after getting a smaller standing desk. They’re such great screens. Nothing like a giant OLED for immersion.

@@dredd2235that’s so awesome dude, how’s it all running now? I had the same issue with the cables, thought it was my pc or gpu, turned out to just be a bad cable. Got another one and it works perfectly. Can’t wait to setup this C3 soon.

Right before the LG C3, I was using the Sony Inzone M9 that I just did a video on as well. My desk is 30 inches deep, 71 inches wide

Sorry for the late reply. That’s a tough one because it comes down to personal preference. For me, I preferred the LG C3 because of the vertical space (2160) being great for content creation

Yes it works as you would expect on the LG. The older models such as C1 didn't utilise full HDMI 2.1 bandwith, with that feature being reserved for the G series but that's the only thing I've noticed. I haven't tested that specifically with the C3 yet, but this won't factor in to your concerns.

Sorry but I'm not too sure about HDR footage, I record using a 4K elgato capture card using the standard settings, and the same with Davinci Resolve. The content I upload isn't in HDR so I couldn't tell you

@@FIREWOLFTECH Hey man - Firstly, thank you for taking the time to reply (and so quickly), appreciate it. So you're setup is single monitor, into a console and that's being captured on your PC through your Elgato capture card? Are you playing in HDR but just recording in SDR? Thanks for the input. When capturing footage (whilst gaming in HDR) are you just using normal e.g. H.264 MP4 capture in OBS?

@@duelsy you’re welcome ! I appreciate the comment. I currently have a 3-4 monitor set up (depending on if I have other monitors that I’m reviewing) HDR can be enabled individually, so normally I just enable it on the monitor I’m reviewing. OBS is opened up on whichever monitor I choose (it’s different every time depending on where I film) but that monitor won’t have HDR on. The capturing that I’m doing is off my Sony camera, so I’m not recording the actual gameplay, just the gameplay that my camera is recording, which in turn ends up being SDR. I don’t remember the OBS setting, all I know is that it’s the default 4K

Idk too much about color depth, but whenever I use Gaming PC and connect it to a monitor, its always 8-bit until I enable HDR it changes to 10-bit. Idk if there are more advanced settings for higher rates than that

@@FIREWOLFTECH You need to set it manually, you choose it yourself as 12-bit from windows. If you can't find it, write to me and I'll send you a video.

If you’re considering monitor usage, definitely the LG C3 42. I also did a video on the Sony 42” A90K, and you might find a great deal on that one. The C3 I liked better for it’s HDMI 2.1 across all ports for NVIDIA G-Sync

@@FIREWOLFTECH i bought an lg c3 48, I'm using it as a monitor, it's great. i've been through a 32-inch monitor, it's been a little hard to get used to, but I'm doing fine.

lg c3 42 inch is on sale for 899

Why not consider the 48” c3?

I can’t speak for C2 since I’ve never tried it, but the auto dimming wasn’t bad for me on the C3

there's a setting you can change to do either or

I haven’t personally tried out the C2 but many say that’s not a lot differences, so if you could save a lot on the C2 I would get that one

Bro if you’re coming from a Roku TV this will def blow you away 🔥 The LG C series is a great first time OLED tv

@@FIREWOLFTECH need that 🔥🔥 imma get it at the end of the year

@@isiah401able That’s what I’m talking about 😤🔥 better get an update when you have it

If it’s for a computer desk like my setup I would go 42 since it’s very close, otherwise as a gaming/tv, the bigger the better 😏 (my opinion of course)

I’ve always liked keeping it there just like I do on my Mac. Idk just a personal preference lol

@@FIREWOLFTECH it’s more of a preventative measure so you don’t image retention from the same icons being on the same spot for hours

@@morrays1996 never thought about that, it makes more sense for oled. Thanks for the tip

How do you hide the bar? Thank you.

​@@justinloriso6467 right click task bar< go to taskbar settings< under task bar behaviors make sure hide task bar is checked on

No, that's either KZfaq compression or the camera used. The panel supports 12 bit colour.

Yes it supports portrait orientation

I’m not completely sure if it does, but my only guess would be that the larger the TV gets, it is recommended to sit further back. You would need the TV to be brighter the further you are.

My desk is 30 inches deep and I feel like it’s perfect

@@FIREWOLFTECH I ended up buying it and I'm amazed . Playing the x series x on it and I can't stop raving about it to my brother and friends ... Much to their annoyance 😂.

I haven't personally noticed that during the time I had it. I would try different picture settings to see if it fixes that

@@FIREWOLFTECH So you don't have it anymore? What made you get rid of it?

@@madhaze0126 I started reviewing monitor 🔥🔥

I’m not sure why, but I would make sure all the variable refresh settings are set to ON on the settings of the TV , and also have GOW on performance mode for VRR to work

I recommend at least 70cm from monitor and your eyes...I'm using it at 90cm. Under70cm u get this weird distortions around corners because you are too close and it's not a curved monitor...i would pay 50% more just to have that but curved

It's a great option 🔥

I just use NVIDIA GeForce to optimize everything, which makes all the settings on modern warfare set to the highest based on the RTX 4090. DLSS is set to on and so is the resolution at 4K.

@@FIREWOLFTECH i mean your tv settings sorry

@@MrJohnarkin oh lol, when I connected my PC and set the refresh rate to 120, the TV automatically switched it to game optimization. I didn’t really dig into the settings much, I left it the way it was. what I know is that VRR and low latency were both on

Wish I could (don’t have it no more) Just download windows hdr calibration, follow the steps. It’s very quick

I have tested some custom reolutions 1k 2k with custom refresh rates. All of them have started but all woked badly with blurring ghosting issues

ya that made me doubt everything this youtuber said lol

yeah but enabling HDR turns on 10-bit... most people won't turn on 10-bit without HDR on a display like this

Hey I’m still learning 😅

There are 2 wallpapers at 11:27 and they are both found in Wallpaper Engine via Steam. Look for Kakashi for the wallpaper on the left, and look for Rayquaza for the wallpaper on the right

@@FIREWOLFTECH thank you so much

I haven’t noticed any auto dimming at all. I didn’t even know that was an issue in older C series models. I’ve been enjoying this display, and for the productivity that I do, I have no issues with dimming

@@FIREWOLFTECH That's good to hear! So even while keeping static windows open (like browsers, etc) for like 30min or 1 hour you haven't noticed any dimming behavior?

For more than 30min ? That I'm not sure. There's times where I'll leave my desk for maybe 10-20 minutes at most and still find the LG C3 in the same brightness

​@@FIREWOLFTECH ​ Cool, thanks for confirming. As long as it doesn't dim while I'm working or browsing/reading I'm good. Still wish LG didn't remove TPC from the service menu though.

@@iXzenoS looks like you find the perfect reason to upgrade and get a new screen 😅 🔥

I haven't tried the G7 mini led yet but it would come down to whether or not your room/space is very bright or gets light directly on the screen since OLED suffer in that case. I personally prefer OLED over any other display for its deep blacks and contrasts but these don't get as bright as other monitors/tvs so if you can control the lighting or usually play at night, then I would recommend the LG C3

Nm, it seems that I'm hearing, not only does it still have the same exact problem. But they've removed the ability to turn off this Auto-Dimming feature entirely from the service menu.

I have lg c3 48. It has flickering issue. Its occurs when fps changes in dark scenes at any fpa.

@@deadman8284 Yeah that's a serious bummer. I hope they eventually fix this possibly with their next release. The picture quality is really great when you disable Auto-Dimming and run it without HDR.

I wouldn't be worried about it. LG has been in the OLED game for more than 10 years and they even include built in features and settings to prevent burn in. The technology has been out for a long time and its even in most high end smartphones

@@FIREWOLFTECHwhat size would you recommend for school, work and gaming?

For all 3, I always find a bigger display very helpful. I would personally recommend sizes 32inches and above. Otherwise you could always get 2-3 smaller monitors side by side

How much of a sale ? 👀 If it’s significantly cheaper, I would go for the C2 since its a solid choice (I haven’t personally used one, but know many have it in their setups)

@@FIREWOLFTECH I see some places have the 42” C2 for under $900

@@Primizzle that’s a great deal 🔥

@@FIREWOLFTECH I saw a 42” C2 for $799 at Best Buy and it was a 48 hr deal, and I jumped right on that!! I love it!! This is my 1st OLED!

With all the improvements and latest OLED technologies pumped into this C3, i can see it lasting at least a decade especially if you take care of the screen with the built in OLED care

⁠@@FIREWOLFTECH nice 👍🏾 I got the C2 last year 😊 That’s what I’m talking about it’ll last me a decade or more!!!! I also got the RTX 4080 due to the C2 is cap at 120 No need to get the 4090

I was going to do a video on the C2 but saw that the C3 was coming out, so decided to wait lol. Yeah 4080 is enough for 120

That’s would so lit 🔥 I’m pretty sure they’re coming 2024 🤞🏽

Cool, but would you really hit 4k 240

100 percent agree with you here. I have c9 and c2 and my c9 seems brighter with better vivid coloring

@@Brandon-mo8np yeah, I think LG got nervous and started to “dumb” them down, worrying about burn-in (maybe)?!?! But yeah. I’m pissed. lol. I want to order the G3, but at this point, maybe I’ll wait another year and see if C4 (if they call it that) will add higher refresh rates.

@thatdrh yeah man, I finally found my happy medium with the C2. I don't like the Dolby vision I turned that setting off. I like the HDR I am able to get the colors I was looking for and the brightness as well finally. Only took about 2 days of frustration and about almost returning the d*** thing 🤣. I was aggressive with all settings until I finally got the sweet spot. I've owned my C9 since release back in 2018 or 19 something like that and no burn it or banding or anything on that TV. Main reason I baught C2 was just wanted a little upgrade from what I had. Luckily I got a deal off bestbuy for my 55 C2 I got it for 999 days ago and was stocked about the price so I can't complain to much about it 😂

Haven’t seen the C9, but I assume it was a higher end model

@@FIREWOLFTECH C9 was just the numbering system back in 2019.

I try to show how I use the monitor the best way possible. I’ve been reviewing multiple monitors now, so I don’t stick with one for more than a week or 2

🔥 that's a great deal

I didn’t notice it too dark, since HDR does help

I've noticed in certain games that enabling HDR can result in slightly worse visibility. It basically comes down to many games these days being optimized primarily for SDR with HDR being a bit of an afterthought. However, you can always adjust the HDR settings, or even just run the tv in SDR and you'll still get a great image.

@molsen7549 t also depends on how you set up HDR in game coupled with exposure level.

You gotta match them with the letters on the TV

😂😅

To test out how many frames the 4090 can push at the resolution of whatever monitor I’m reviewing

Just wanted to test how many frames I could get at that resolution

Thanks 🔥 now I know lol

No lol Since I've been reviewing monitors, I don't have a monitor that is my true daily. My main setup is usually an ultrawide, super ultrawide, or 4K monitor while my 2nd setup is more for smaller 1440P monitors

@@FIREWOLFTECH thanks brother 🤙🏼

OMG what !

@@FIREWOLFTECH such a amazing screen

You can set the normal desktop resolution to 1440p on this easily but as far as i no i dont think you can "upscale" it to 4k. If you are talking about the ai upscaling technology this tv has that only works when you are using it as a tv but once you plug in to the pc its better not to use any of the ai settings on this as it would interfere with your viewing and overall gaming experience since your gpu is already working on the same thing .

@oldtimer666 thanks for sharing !

@@oldtimer666 hi, I tested it all with the actual TV. Yes, upscaling aka "super resolution" is a gimmick. True motion though is nice, can be enabled on PC if in native 4k and 30 HZ. My main issue with the TV turned out to be the inbuilt dimming algorithm (burn-in protection) that can not be turned off (service control can, voiding the warranty). This dimming bullshit just destroyed my gaming experience, cuz after each bright scene it makes it all super dark for like 5 mins. Also the TV seems to sell my KZfaq and Netflix data to 3rd parties (playlists, watch history, etc). Very intrusive. Also can not install Chrome to watch videos from websites, LG App store prohibits to download anything else than their solutions. I expected that I can at least chose a browser... I returned the TV. Gonna wait a year or so, when it's app policy gets more liberal. Or somebody makes it run Linux. The picture was nice, the device is far more capable as a standalone PC - needs to be unlocked by Linux masters.

Not gonna lie, around that time, I didn’t know too much about NVIDIA Control panel 😅

you could try using a monitor light that goes on top

thdree

I haven’t owned or tried out a C2 so I can’t talk about it. I rely on others who have experience using the C2 to put in their inputs in the comments section. At the end of the day, the C2 will eventually stop production where at that point your only option is the C3. I don’t have much criticism since it’s really been great in my own experience. I don’t use all the other features that it comes with, just the actual display. But I will keep your feedback and input in mind for future videos as I really appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion.

Does the C3 have the same issues as a C2 using a 3080 or 3090 GPU.

@@joshHJJTA why did c2 have issues with those

@@maxsmith108 look up green flickering screen on c2 OLED.

On google

You're right that it's not intended as a desktop monitor but it doesn't stop people from using it that way. LG even added NVIDIA G-Sync specifically to enhance PC gaming. That glossy finish believe it or not is what many wish for in todays OLED monitors. As for the size, yes its huge, its not for everyone, but there are many that like that form factor.

@@FIREWOLFTECH I think it's just a privileged hipster way of looking at it. It's nice with a PS5 or Xbox or PC while GAMING, since it's designed for that, but not as regular desktop use like browsing. White screens from browsing pages is not good for the C3. A glossy finish is not a pleasant experience while trying to read text, browse, code, etc.

@@xPhantomxify the reason why glossy is desired is because most high end laptops use glossy screens which look better than Matte displays. Of course a laptop allows you to maneuver the screen whenever there’s reflection. the appeal of glossy is there. For me, a semi gloss/matte is perfect. Now I do agree that a lot of the desktop use is not the most optimal, but you can’t deny the awesome screen real estate and beautiful display, it’s a trade off that many are willing to sacrifice. At the moment there aren’t many 4K OLED monitors (I don’t think there’s any) most are 1440P, so there’s another reason the C3 is chosen. I think when 4K OLED monitors hit the market, we’ll probably see less OLED TV’s being used as a desktop monitor

The new QD-OLED monitors I’ve reviewed recently are getting so much better. If you’re worried about burn-in Alienware AW3225QF has 3 year warranty that covers that.
