I'm a fan of the music. Great levels :)

I got the 48 inch a90k for a great deal on an open box, and I love it. It’s nice for RPG games and 4k blu rays.

Complements really well it was very suttle initially. Would definitely include in more intros or maybe with some B-roll. 👍👌🔥

Nice vid! Quick question, LG C2 42" 0r C3 42", Is the C3 worth the extra £500 over the C2?

I've not got my hands on the C3 yet (will do within the next few weeks), but £500 is a lot for what I've seen on paper.

It’s an awesome TV. Zero regrets so enjoy 💪

I saw it today.....the issue is the price.

@@craigharris41 Depends on where you're buying it from, i recommend Costco in-store its really cheap compared to online.

not worth it at all lol.

@@AppIeOfficial why ain't it?

Thank you. It’s a great screen.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Idk if this is worth it for you to do every time but if you change the HDMI mode from Enhanced VRR to just Enhanced 4k you can switch from game mode

I appreciate that!

That’s great to hear. Thanks for watching

Don’t forgot about money for games

@@justthatguyalex836 I managed to set a bit aside for a few. Got Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut, The Witcher 3 complete edition and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Ragnaok Edition all for about £77

@@celticfan67 oh nice, your not one of those stupid people , that just save up for the essentials and forget about the games

I'm on 1080i the other tvs in the crib 1080p

Have a blast and congrats bro 🎉

Enjoy the new house! Thanks for the sub too!

That's awesome, thank you. I normally review within a week, but wanted to spend more time with it first.

Not in Brazil, here we have very few options and they are very very expensive (taking into account the minimum salary and stuff)

Also, Sony only gives you TWO HDMI 2.1 ports, and one of those ports is the e-ARC. Incredibly frustrating for a so-called premium brand like Sony. Meanwhile, the C2 has four 2.1 ports and flawless VRR support out of the box.

Same here. I got with the 42c2 last year as Monitor. And ive got 2 Sony oleds for bed and living Room. Overall i would say the processing and the sound quality is in Sonys Hand.

same went for the C2 last year

@@nik_cgn that’s my only regret getting the C2, since every Sony I’ve owned has had superior image quality and the acoustic panel tech is quite good for faux surround.

I'm kinda having remorse and wished I might have checked that C2 more. But the skeptic on me is wondering why you are watching videos on your 2nd choice....

@@MaxPell-wu9zu Maybe I just have low expectations for built-in speakers, but Sony's are better than most.

Are you really comparing the sound of a 42-inch where you're sitting close to the monitor with a 77-inch where you're sitting far away?

@@MrChocobit I sometimes watch the 42" from bed, which is even further. I stand by my statement. The Sony speakers (which actually use the screen itself as the transducer) are DRAMATICALLY better than the shitty speakers in the LG.

Did the A90K blow you away then?

@@jukebox2568 in terms of picture quality, and speaker sound, yeah I’m really stoked. Google’s OS is alright, fairly snappy but does have some annoying moments. My biggest grievance with the a90k is that it’s a Sony, so presumably it would be the perfect TV for a PlayStation 5 Console. A couple of weeks after buying the TV, my PlayStation would stop transmitting sound randomly, and the only fix is to unplug the HDMI cable which is a major annoyance. I’d go so far as to say it’s a deal breaker. And yes, it’s something to do with the TV and the 120hz HDMI mode with a ps5 attached. I don’t have the issue on my living room LG C3 at 120hz, and my PC that is connected to the a90k never drops sound even with 120hz mode enabled. Disappointed to say the least.

@@ngc_au thanks a lot for the reply. I have a PS5 too so am a bit dismayed hearing that you had issues after connecting them. Just wondering as you have a LG C3, would you say the C3 has about as good picture quality as the A90K? Or is the A90K so much better it’s worth 50% extra (where I’m at)?

@@jukebox2568sorry for the late reply. I would say they are just about as good. LG has some annoying ads in their OS. I would pick the LG regardless of those drawbacks if I could turn back time. The sound issues have improved recently but it’s still annoying.

@@ngc_au thanks for the response. From what you’ve said, I think I’ll go with the LG C3 then - it’s less than half the price of the A90K where I’m at!

I'll try, thank you.

Great choice on the Chromecast, I think I'll do the same on my main TV now.

I do that in my unboxing videos not the full reviews 💪

@@SpawnPoiint oh my bad 😞, great review

It really is, thanks for watching too

why is the c3 superior?

Trust me: the C3 processor stomps the C2 for HDR for both movies and gaming. This whole 'its minor' is a little bit.... Wrong in my opinion. I sell TV's, I've literally put the same content on a 42C2 and a 42C3 and the C3 has genuinely got an edge for low black level HDR, Highlights, Colour volume. I love the C2, but the C3 is only getting a bad rep because the C2 is still on the market. The C2 got the same rep when the C1 was still available and went on to win multiple awards.... Seriously, go look, don't trust reviews

I bought a Sony Bravia 43" smart tv 2 years ago & I am happy with it

How bout a 65 inch for a monitor?

YMMV. powered satellites will be fine for line-out. The reason soundbars are huge, is that subs need a lot of space. You can get 'tower' vertical subs, vertical speakers are space efficient compared to a bar/soundbar, but YMMV. People don't like tower speakers anymore. The other issue is, Dolby Atmos with discrete speakers is not cheap hardware, compared to 5.1 or DTS. If you build a tower system, it needs like 4-5 speakers per tower for up/side/front firing, and there's an expensive amp required to power it and hook up all the cables around the room, sic. Soundbars don't need to do the full discrete speaker logic, so they can save money on the amps needed. Fiber/SPDIF is usually better quality than the line-out, and works with Subs that have an amplifier anyway. Arguably, inbuilt sound would be much, much easier to move the speakers into the stand. That would be the best option, but if they do this, they don't sell new TV's. Part of the situation is, soundbars also force you to upgrade, i.e. Big Bars, Big TV, sic. I think LG made a G1 or G2 that had a soundbar built into their wall-mount unit, because they could make the unit thinner without speakers, and have a slimmer unit. The Samsung One Connect and Frame TV's also have an external power brick for handling cables etc. The main reason why a TV can't deliver good sound, is that modern TV's are flat, there's nowhere for the sound to go except down, or into the back wall, because sound requires moving the air. You can't easily get around the distances needed to build a "bass" waveform. This is why the Sonos Arc/PlayBase has a bit of a chamber system to improve the bass response, it's also why soundbars get bulky/long. Surface area, matters. A cube box, is the more efficient system to move air, but you can cheat it a little by having the sound change direction or bounce around a little to increase energy over time. If you can't move enough air, then you can't get volume or stereo separation, or get rid of the distortion of the frame / desk it's standing on. While it's possible to make TV sound better ... it's very difficult without putting large 'horn' shapes inside the back plastic of the TV, which would affect cooling and weight. The effect would probably work well, but you'd also get ugly frames / side channels for the air to pass through at the sides/top/bottom of the TV as well.

would you say the 48 inch version of a90k is to big for gaming like shooters like battlefield or warzone ? im thinking about 42 but i have no tv at all atm so for movies of course 48 is better for watching movies.. but my preferences are 100% pure gaming experience first. Big Greetings from Frankfurt Germany :)

@@chaokakaotv3614 Greetings my friend! Honestly some may say it is big for a gaming tv but, it also depends on how close you are to the tv. I play Call of Duty and so many other games on this tv & I definitely say it’s worth it. Sometimes I forget that I’m playing on a tv. If you sit really close to your tv to game then I wouldn’t recommend it. Yet if you are sitting at a distance then yes I definitely suggest getting it.

ayy bro thankss man! decision has fallen, i wait for the a80k when its available or the a90k when it gets cheaper @@MishkaX_

Is the TV 4K natively or does it just upscale? I'm thinking of getting me the 42-in

Native 4K. As described in this video review, it also upscales HD (720/1080) content and Standard Definition (480) content brilliantly. ​@@IslandEnforcer

Which MBP are you using? If it's the M1 Max or older, you can't get 120hz out of the HDMI. I'm locked to 60hz this way. I've used USB-C to DP but that won't work on this either.

Thank you! I agree with that, the picture quality is top tier, but the price makes it hard to justify over the others.

That’s a crazy good price for the S95B! I did a review on that a few months back. Great screen and incredibly bright. If you need it to be bright (loads of natural light or near windows) get the S95B. Otherwise the C2 wins on everything else.

@@SpawnPoiint Thank you so much!! I wouldn't need it crazy bright + it doesn't have DV, but the bigger screen makes it worthwhile right?

Same haha. Trying to get a local retailer to loan me one.

As tenido problemas de retencion o quemados??

I'm with you on that. Hard to justify when the cost so much more.

@@SpawnPoiint I know it's not 42" but the new G3 is what I am excited to see, all the reports have said it's insane whereas the C3 Vs the C2 is more a refinement

Thank you 🙌

@@SpawnPoiint your welcome 👍

It’s a great screen congrats

Yes this is a great size for gaming!

​@SpawnPoiint what tv do you recommend for 52 inch TV

LG C2 is another good pick!

I'm building a desk setup just for my own. I can't decide between the C2 or A90k. I know there's a difference in price, but I'm a Sony boy, plus the only console I goin to be using is the PS5.

How is the reescaling with old gen consoles? Which one is better fpr this purpouse?

Haha, thanks and enjoy the C3 🙌

@Hanify i know its to soon to say but how is the Picture Quality on the C3? im stuck between the A90K and C3 42"

@@ruffiyan I'll give you an update once I try it in a couple of days, I ordered it online 👍🏼

@@SolidSnake1980s any news? Our eyes can't wait to know it 👀

@@Adri9570 Hey man! I was actually thinking where was it that I should have updated about the TV, I thought it was reddit lol So far I've used the TV for gaming on PS5 and home office and things been really great! I followed HDTVTest channel C2 guide for configuring the C3's picture, but not to the litter though. Picture quality and colors are really superb and will ruin you, can't look at the other TV and monitors anymore, nothing beats it! Unlike previous models, this one can get really bright and you'll have no issues seeing in a bright room. Sound is good imo, but not great. It has a lot of settings to test and that can be tiring. Tested only a little and settled on the standard settings because I didn't like the other options out of the box. I might give it another go in the future and do more testing. Gaming mode is awesome, supports VRR, G-Sync, Free-Sync, ALLM and it is awesome for SDR (tested it with fighting games) and HDR gaming (tested it in COD MW2). I game for long hours and the TV doesn't get that hot. It is well ventilated. It is light weight and I'm planning to desk-mount it. Menus can be confusing at first, but it gets better over time. It has plenty of apps support. When setting up for the first time, I panicked when I saw black lines on the screen and I started to believe I got a faulty one. After looking in the menus I found and used the built-in pixel cleaner feature under the support menu and that did the trick "phew" If you have a C2, then wait if money is a factor in your decision. But if you have an older model or something else, f'ing go for it man! I hope that covered it all, and plz ask me if I missed something.

@Hyperfluxe Would you recommend this monitor for someone going for a 50/50 gaming and productivity use?

so one question..? at first thanks for your comment its really helpful but one question i still have.. the ps5 got vrr but how does it works with the a90k then? ive read a comment that it flickers at games with 120 hertz on the a90k like i really searching for some monitor and tv at the same time so 42 or 48 inch is the best for me and i love the picture quality.. maybe i should just buy an cheaper tv and wait for the new Panasonic lz2000 to get cheaper

@@chaokakaotv3614 hmm flickering? Na this tv is solid so far havent seen anything like that happen. Sometimes theres judder on fast scenes in movies. But on games with vrr at 120hz the motion is solid. But the picture accuracy is spot on.

thanks man yeah i will wait until the a80k is available or the a90k gets cheaper@@paigesalas8142
