I have LG's C2 42" TV as a monitor, and I even got used to the size. I actually tend to sit back now instead of being too close to the screen. The only thing I wish was different is upgrading from 120Hz to 240Hz, once I have a GPU strong enough to run a 4k monitor at 240 fps.

My only wish for this would be a DP connection.

Still have my 48 CX Oled as a "monitor". Got it when Oled monitors was not a thing and HDR monitors were ridiculously expensive. Have a huge desk and it fits well, but glad smaller ones are more mainstream now and prices have come down.

Your channel is a ray of sunshine on the internet, thank you for existing.

I love mine! Use it for work and some gaming. People have questions whenever they see it. The speakers are nice built and really loud compared to bigger tvs.

Fantastic!. Is it good enough for photo editing, colour wise?

That wave on the reflection. Heyo Kyler o/

When in multi-view, there are three white-ish boxes above the inputs. What are they for?

Having Geforce built in is awesome!

if it didnt cost 2.5k more like 1.5k then it would make sens, but atm its way to expensive for pretty much just a 42 inch tv

What Are The Dimensions Of The White Table(CM)?

The only thing i feel is missing for me with this TV is the possibility for multi view with two hdmi's. I would really want to have multiview with both my PC and PS5 at the same time.

Got one a few months ago... it was a game changer coming from a 34inch 3440x1440 ultrawide VA panel. Pretty much still the same width but now with more vertical space to work with. And Oled for gaming... well, let's just say I wouldn't want to go back to LCD. But it's great for work as well (I don't do video editing mind you). I was thinking of a 48inch at first, but it would have cost me too much space on my desk and also the PPI would have been a bit too low for me. IIRC the PPI on the Flex is around 107, which is fine for me. I only sit about 75cm away from it (+/-2,5feet). Playing around with the curvature is fun at first, but now I leave it at 60%. HDR on this is very nice. Mind you I have not seen HDR on true 1000nits (or above) panels. LG panels (from around the CX to C2 era ) are usually around 700nits tops. Let's just say when I first experienced it on my LG CX tv that I was thoroughly impressed. The only problem I ran into with the Flex was with ARC to an older 5.1 AVR (PC>flex>AVR). Somehow I couldn't get 5.1 to work in windows. Something about supported codecs in the Flex was getting in the way. I found a workaround by connecting both devices directly to the GPU, instead of PC>Flex>AVR. Luckily windows (or the nvidia drivers/software) recognized the AVR as a second screen, so sending audio only to the AVR worked. I remember in years past that that also used to be a problem with Nvidia cards. I use dark mode in windows and a screensaver that kicks in pretty quick to try and avoid burn in. The auto dimming of the Flex has very rarely been an issue for me and pretty much never happens while gaming. But if you've never had Oled then be prepared for it. Some people can't stand it what so ever. It rarely bothers me, and when it pops it's evil head it's usually during spreadsheet work and stuff like that. A quick scroll up/down or switching tabs and the brightness returns to normal. Anyway... yes, it is still very pricey. The adjustable curve is nice, but not necesary at all. This size (42inch) is perfectly fine with a flat panel even for desk use I think. So if you want Oled and 42inch you might as well get the LG C2 for a lot less. If you have cash to burn, get this one. I think you will not be disappointed. Hope this helps anyone on the fence of getting one.

wonder how much labor was put into that

Hey Brett did you forget to mention that they are running a giveaway in the link you provided?

I’ve used on in microcenter and it’s so cool. I just can’t justify the price premium.

What is that web camera ?

Your link does NOT send me to the product page.

Yes, amazing😮

Does that TV support Freesync?

I haven't had an lg oled flex since it was a phone. I miss that thing.

42” tv while being $2500… lots of gimmicks but unnecessary for gamers.

i need a DP since my 6800xt only has one hdmi

I dont see this as something that will make my life better LG.

wish this had vesa mount

camera is for zoom for sure, to play while your in a meeting

Lol Bret, when is the last time you hooked up a cable box to a tv via coaxial cable? I'm guessing those haven't been handed out in 15 years. It has been a minimum of HDMI for so long now, because of content protection. That thing must have a tuner. Unless someone else can think of another reason.

what i want to know is does the AI enhancer for picture quality on in pc. I bought the LG C3 and when i was watching some youtube, i realize the picture looke like shit when there was some motion. so i looked at the setting and everything for sharpness was turned off. it specifically said it was off when connected to a PC. Then in then peak brightness was only available for hdr in pc too. it was some bullshit of LG to do this to PC users. Also the tv flickered whether i had gsync on or off, the only way i could fix it was by turning gsyn off and on.

My tv has a render distance issue im on ps5. Can anyone help me fix this

Idk who said 42 inches is perfect but I like me a nice 85 inch for gaming and when I’m playin gta I’m connected to my surround sound system so I can hear the sound of that BIG ASS V8 that I’m driving it maybe I’m blowing up some shit

lets go LG

My 42 inch c2 oled is the best purchase ive made for my pc

Google Duo calls on smart TV with a webcam. For Christmas I plug in my Sony camera using a capture card so that we can enjoy the family on the big screen during the Google Duo/meet call

It was on sale at Best Buy for 1999 today. I saw my Alienware 34 DWF for 700. So this cost me $1200 best upgrade I ever made.

Is this new? Looks like it's been out for a year.

I use this as my computer monitor

For 2500, why does this NOT have the same mosaic PbP feature found in their other models that are about a quarter of the price?!? I have another 4K, 42" LG model right now that I would love to upgrade to OLED, but missing this is a deal breaker for me. Many people work from home even part time now. And having the ability to display 4 inputs at once, or two 3840x1080 PCs stacked has been a game changer for my WFH setup.

Cool

Just get the C3 42' for gaming at less than 1000€ , we can live without the "flex" option!

For the first time ever, i think i actually like a tv more than a monitor. Thats genuinely cool. I'll never own one, its way too expensive. EDIT: yep, its like 3 grand.

55 TV LG as a monitor C1 great

Is it a matte or glossy screen?

Love the vid

idk the tv influencers are talking mini led is the future 4000 nits. But this is the sweet spot

wait didnt it cost like 2.5k last year , can find it for 1.5k now

I don't think 42" is the perfect size. It was too small when I set it in front of a couch 5 feet away from my eyes. I prefer my cheapo 120Hz LG55NANO86 as a primary monitor for work and for gaming.

WEBCAM: TO stream my nostrils whilst gaming for the full effect!! YAZZZ!

Yeah... Great Tech and Cool features...But $2000 for a 42" TV is too much..

ngl automatically out because it cant be vesa'd you would need a massively deep desk to be able to sit far enough away from it to be comfortable

For 2k$ just might as well get a 65” C3. Too expensive

This feels like one of those products that make me excited for what's to come, rather than the product itself. I'd want DP ports on it, and VESA mounting for monitor arms. Higher refresh-rate would also be nice. As a "proof of concept" though, I quite like it. Would never buy it.

Just.. get a c3… 800 bucks on sale and exact same specs just no stupid curve option lol

Years ago I thought the curved display idea was a neat advancement in technology. But I guess I don't understand why anyone would want a curved display. Can some explain what the advantage is of a curve vs flat?

Woot!

I wish they'd changed the name of webOS when they bought it, it makes me miss Palm. Lol

Dolby atmus

I know this is a paid review... but I want... and I remember when LG was Goldstar :D

Not as good as a 1 old year Aorus FO48U Oled that I got used for $400. Glossy screen, 48", DP port and no LG spying on you.

I feel 4k tv/monitors should be higher than 120 refresh rate

Can’t tell if this guy is 15, 26, or 41

Isn’t 32” the perfect size?

2500$...i buy c3 55" 1200$..

OMG ... look up a guide and play the game? as someone who just doesn't have time to figure out complex puzzles, this rocks for me. This is a great review and I'm a fan of GN/J2C/HC/HU/LTT/PH/ETAP/AHO/CC/PCW/CT/DDTS/GS/TYC/GS (ping me if you need any translations)

My samsung…1.5k 244hz 4k curved

HOW DARE YOU talk over the ASMR peel... my night's ruined. ugh. now I just have to listen to your content (which I love, btw, please read this with a smile on my face :D)

Or or. You could just but a monitor for $300

Disagree, 42” is too big for a monitor and too small for a tv. glossy is also better, a matt finish loses a bit of quality. Not sure who lg is targeting at here

Just buy the Ark 55” instead

$2500? 🤦‍♂️

No DisplayPort? Useless...........

glare screen - no good for work and gaming.

Cool
