I’ve been rocking my 42 C2 OLED for nearly 2 years now and it’s been an absolutely beast of a TV! The screen is still as bright and crisp as the day I got it with no noticeable degradations whatsoever. The only flaw that I found with it were the underwhelming speakers so I grabbed an Apple TV 4K and a pair of 2 full sized HomePod 2s, plugged them through the eARC HDMI port so that any sound that comes out of my TV (and anything connected to it like the PS5 or Series X) goes out of the HomePods instead. Best minimalist Dolby Atmos set-up ever ❤

Great videos mate keep it up

LG Flex 42 user here. Love it so far! The only thing that could tempt me to upgrade would be a (hypothetical) Flex 48 with LG's latest OLED panel.

Really love your dedication to make videos

It's been a month since I've had my 42" LG C3 and I absolutely love it when playing games but wow when watching 4K or HD content it is amazing that I had to order another one, I was going to go for a 65" but was happy with the 42" for gaming and entertainment I got another 42". I love your videos, one of the main reasons I decided to go with the 42" in the first place.

great video! thinking about getting one of these on sale as an office gaming tv/second monitor for my pc

NICE! I am totally going to grab this sucker this summer. :)

Thanks for the video. i was thinking about getting a desk shelf for my c3. Do you experience any rocking during everyday use with your shelf?

Great video! Have the same tv as well, and was wondering - what settings do you use for the ps5 + tv? I feel that my image quality and color quality aren’t that great. Thinking of resetting the video options on ps5 and tv

What a surprise to see this video. I’m using this as my monitor. I have a 65” Samsung QD-OLED in my living room, but this LG is in many ways better for gaming. As you said, its versatility is fantastic!! I feel better about not having my gaming on it, great video. Well said! Your points are excellent. I enjoy your channel greatly!! By the way, I forgot about the exclusive 3.5mm headphone port on it…until your video!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I've had my C3 for a few months as well. It's perfect for gaming on my PS5 and works just as well as a monitor for my Mac Mini M2 Pro at 120hz. A bit pricey, but quality will cost if ya want the best or pretty close to the best. I don't use the built in speakers as I use studio monitors for sound. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

What dock do you use? (And do you get 120Hz from your MacBook Air?)

Another great video! Not in the budget, but would be a close one between this 42 incher and the new Alienware 32” 4K 240hz monitor. I already have a 48 LG C1 and the 34” Alienware Q-Oled. Wish I could trade the 34 ultra wide for the 32 4K lol

I have the C3 in a 65, it’s amazing but the only complaint with it is there’s no Dolby vision support with PS5 unlike the series X/S

1:04 have you tried wired headphones on this tv,how's the sound...no one talks about that when comes to tvs..? 4:45 which players does web os have?

Hi mate, thanks for the review, I have a Xbox series x and want a c3 but I’ve heard a lot of people having problems with the c3 using the Xbox series x, it’s a display issue where it goes into low resolution when using the Xbox series x, have you had any problems with the c3 when using the Xbox series x? Thanks

What kills oled monitors for me is the anti glare coating they put on almost all of them. The glossy c3 screen and the fact that it has all the functions of a tv make this a no brainer. I got an adapter and have it mounted on an arm desk. It's amazing

Absolutely love this TV, got the 48inch model and use it for primarily PS5 gaming.

This guy is crazy fit ❤

Love mine but it’s way to big for desk use for me, and I can’t play cod on a big screen, I use my 27” monitor for shooters and the 42” oled for story based games

I've been using C3 as a monitor for more than six months, I must say Apple TV is a significant upgrade from inbuilt webOS. When it comes to gaming pairing it with 40 series cards will be optimal or xbox x/ps5.

I have this TV and I also use it as a monitor and it’s great. However, the LG C4 is right around the corner and LG has stated that the 42 inch model will be significantly brighter and come with 144 Hz. So it’s definitely worth checking out the newer model as it’s expected to have some significant upgrades.

Hello. I will tell you my experience. I have had the OLED42C3 since April 2023 without modifying the hidden menu. I use it as a PC monitor for 8 hours a day for 5 days a week and have absolutely no signs of burn-in. The automatic dimming is still active, but it stopped existing for me after calibrating it in brightness, contrast, gamma and other options within the main menu with the control that came with the TV, so no dimming is no longer observed when maximizing or minimizing the browser windows or when changing from dark or medium to light or bright tones, or vice versa. LG has an option within the menu to configure the HDMI port as a PC and not as a TV, in this way other different configuration options appear that are optimal for a PC monitor. It's just a matter of configuring it to your liking like any monitor. I have another PC with a 32" LG Ultrafine 32UL950-W IPS 4k monitor and although this is an excellent native monitor, I feel much better with this 42" OLEd. Regards

what about ps5 games that support 4k120fps? does the tv upscale the image?

I recenly underwent double Cataracts removal,Im now a Proud owner of this Model.😍

Really good video dude , thanks for sharing! One question, has anyone here tried to play on 1080p and activate nvidia scaling from nvidia control panel on a 4K monitor??

Greetings! I'm curious about this channel's comparison from LG C2 to LG C3 as it seems the review for the C2 is quite similar to the C3. Other than the elevated price with little changes from C2 to C3 what are the best reasons to upgrade? If you do a search for second had LG C2 especially 42" I found it difficult to find many making me think the owners of LG C2 4K OLED tv's are still satisfied with performance.

Hey mate, great vid! Are you using game optimisation mode when using the TV as a monitor? Also, how’d you get 120fps in COD? I’m struggling to get that with my PS5. Only 59 when VRR is on. Thanks

I’ve been debating on which OLED to upgrade to for my desk setup. I’ve looked at the 48” version of this monitor. My main hang up has been I’ve been using a 43” curved Samsung monitor for the past 5 years & I’m not sure how it will feel going back to a flat panel. However I might hold off for the C4 since it’s set to release soon.

Hey bro, what thunderbolt dock do you use? Does that wire charge your MacBook when it’s connected to the hdmi port?

The game setting mode looks like mud how do you get it to look clear ? LGc3 can do a video to make this look better? For the PlayStation 5 thanks.

I have a C2 and lament the WebOS. Would have paid more for android and all the versatility that goes with it. Everything else is brilliant.

i got my 42" c2 when it dropped and it's the best display ever, no high end 'gaming' monitor that i've had (and i had many) even comes close. i was a little reluctant about the size at first but now i love. doubles up as a console display nicely too. the minimalist design is also a plus imo. the only issue is abl/asbl, which i got around mostly with a service remote but its caused some noticeable burn in past 1 year of use. i kinda knew the risks tbh so not too upset, will probably change it this year or next when next gen panels drop.

Can it be attached to a monitor arm ?

The lg 42” c2 has been the perfect size . I was going to go with the Apple display but I got the lg 42” c2 for half the price which has far more features and 120hz for gaming . Great tv.

Does it differ alot from the cs3 evo?

Fyi change the input opinion in settings to PC instead of HDMI. It gives you more opinions

For me was the performance and price. Got 48 inches, a floor display for $780! Wall mount all the way!😅

I get vertical grey lines in dark areas of the game when I increase the refresh rate above 60hz is this normal??

I found it too dim in SDR Game optimiser and im using 100 oled light, what settings do you use and do you use HGIG for HDR?

PG32ucdm is the best 4k 240hz monitor !!

Does this tv have a camera 📷

how does 1080p look on that panel? My RX 6800 has HDMI 2.1 and I know my GPU is no 4K...but great 1080p card. How do the apps scale?

Need DP

Your camera is not capturing the OLED well. There's a huge contrast fall-off of the OLED in the video. Maybe look to correct that going forward.

both sony A80L & c3 great gaming tv but my opinion c3 better & brighter & game optimiser

Bought it, slightly regretting it. Here thing to talk myself into keeping it.

21:9 Ultrawide mode in 3840x1600... Big like a 34 monitor but with a proper resolution... Using it this way in 90% of the games - except elden ring C2... Does the C3 have this feature, too?

thats why i stick to the LG C4 .. im so happy with my LG C2 windows HDR and Gaming.. i wont buy a QD-OLED 32.. i stick to the LGs Family OLED for PC Gaming.

Tom delongee approves ur guitar

Did u had noticable blur while playing / moving camera around in games?

Can someone here help me? Im looking for a tv tht is the best tv. 120 hz. Oled. 4k/8k. Best tone mapping. Best hdr. Lord this is a nightmare. Not to large maybe 65".

Thank you LG for releasing glossy screens. Samsung has a picture frame which lists the matte display as a "feature" (ugh). Reflections against a glossy screen can be controlled, matte screens always look blurry and dull.

No dude, you're wrong, the best 4k for gaming is LG OLED G3 : ) and yes, the 55 diagonal is of course great for use as a monitor, you still get excellent clarity and smoothness of the image, but a much more immersive effect.

I love lg. I have c1. But im going to samsung oled.

Newer 4k oled monitors coming out this year will smoke this tv... still nice though.

great tv, but the s90c is the sleeper.

my LG OLED TV got burned image after 11months, got a brand new as replacement, that one also failed after 13months and as it was out of warranty, LG wanted to charge me 1,500 dollars to repair it. Bought a Qled instead

Rocking a LG C3 with a RTX 4080 for a year now. 100% love it!

Screen burn

The Samsung QD OLED is a better TV in my opinion. Nothing against the C3, but the better TV is Samsung. QD OLED is simply brighter, and more vibrant. WOLED is becoming obsoleted. Shame on LG for not including MLA to the C3 series...

.I.

Naw QD Oled

Don't use that film look while reviewing something, it's look dumb and we cannot see true colors

I wait for LG evo C4 48 inch OLED😋😋

Im having a hard time choosing between the LGC3 and S90C by Samsung. Which one is better?
