LG know many prefer 42inch over 48. They will make you either wait for maybe 1-2years time before they launch the 42inch. Or you buy this now to those who couldn't wait 😅
The comparison review relative to the LG 42" C2 should be quite interesting, especially in regards to brightness and text readability. However, the much less aggressive auto-dimming is already a significant improvement.

Everyone saying they have flickering issues, go to your Nvidia control panel -> gsync -> check mark full screen and windowed and uncheck the “settings for this panel” option. You’re welcome!
If you want this same monitor a tad bit smaller just get the Asus PG42UQ. It’s the same monitor already OC’d to 138hz at 42" instead of 48". OR save $400 and buy the LG C2 42" over both and disabled the annoying light dimming feature with a $10 service remote. The only catches left will be the glossy screen and you trading the Smart Tv features for faster wakeups on your PC.
The Secret Menu/Service Remote thing you can also boot up the WebOS and entuer in an LG service URL where you put in a 4 digit code and can access the secret window that way.

They already do. Not sure what you are talking about. LG makes several 27" and 32" monitors ... this 48" Ultragear is a premium gaming display meant for people who want a high-end premium experience. If this came out as a 27" it honestly wouldn't be anything special.

Apparently a firmware fix has come out in the last 3 months that "fixes" this, but the problem was if you moved your mouse before the screen would stay dim unless you moved window around. Now it auto comes back to brightness with just mouse movement. I would probably not use this for Windows, just use it for gaming regardless.

Your opinion and praise for the speakers piqued my interest; how do they compare to the LG C2 speakers? I was not expecting a monitor to even have speakers, let alone good ones!
I just found this on sale for 799 at LG's website- went ahead and pulled the trigger before watching the reviews because the one I was considering was significantly more expensive and not OLED. It will be replacing my Odyssey G9 49" Ultrawide- and some might say, "WHY would you DO that?" Well, this aspect ratio is still the most supported for games, and I do a lot of classic games, so this seems like it would be an ideal choice, most especially at the 799 price tag.

Does this have the annoying "feature" that the LG OLED tv:s have that they turn off after four hours if you don't touch the remote? That and the aggressive auto dimming are the reaseons I'm looking to replace my LG C1 with an OLED pc-monitor.
I have a 42 oled now using for work and play. I’m wondering if I should switch
Where the hell are the 32" OLED flat screen monitors? I have the LG c2 and even with the smaller size coming from a C1 48" to a 42" its still too big. I really hope we get 32" oled gaming monitors and soon damn it.
Looks like you also haven't been able to get your hands on the dell qd-oled... Looking forward to that review
It's surprising why they don't have a 42GQ900 with the 42" panel...it seems like the 42" panels are harder to come by, and LG takes first dibs for TVs. The Asus PG42UQ is also nowhere to be seen as yet...
In my opinion they should have the 65GQ900 too.
That's the coolest remote I've ever seen! Very unique for sure.
I want to get a new monitor for gaming and to watch tv on. Should I go with this or the ROG swift 48 OLED?
Which would protect against burn out more?
Great review! Have you measured the brightness for a 100% white window yet? And were the >1000 Nits on D65?
Regards,
Tim
My real question is for productivity which is best...this LG or the Samsung 49" 0led 9dyssey G or the LG 45" ultragear. I cant figure out which would be best.
Why did you mute yourself when you said the price of $1199 at 7:41 🤔
And ill say it again: you can just buy a tb4 to dp adapter literally anwhere to high refresh on all modern macs…why do you keep saying this like without a tb4 port the display cant be used in high refresh?
Hi, have you tested using a TB4 to DisplayPort cable on this monitor? I'm so wanted to know if I can get 120Hz refresh rate on this monitor with my 16" MacBook Pro.
I purchased this monitor do you have any tips on how to get the best quality out of this monitor while running the ps5 or certain settings within the monitor and settings within the ps5 thank you review was awesome
Is the C2 better than the 48 inch Ultragear ?

Perfect size. I will be buying 1 of
these for my ps5's.
just got this one today and i freaking love it
How is the performance compared to lg c2?
@@adisuryadinata819 no clue might be similar and it is a matte screen
Hello tom ... I like the table, I want information about it, please
Considering this only has freesync premium and not the better freesync premium pro -
is the HDR being affected in anyway??? Thanks.
What about using this screen as a content creator with lightroom/ photoshop and premiere ? Color reproduction?
Can I use this monitor with two laptops, so I can split screen? Is that possible.
How do I setup my ps5 on this I can’t get the display that I’m looking for, it looks kinda blurry
What will be the best large sized equivalent that has a thunderbolt port for Mac compatibility?
@Andrew, whats it like for productivity?
Being an oled. And how the blacks turn off
Can you possbly resize the screen into other screen dimentions.
e.g if you want to be closer for reading etc resize it for an ultra wide and black out the top 1/3??
I just bought this on sale for $650 USD on a Black Friday sale (November 2023) with a great Costco return policy. If this cost $1,000 USD, I wouldn't consider buying it. At $650, I feel like it's a great value. I'm going to put in on the wall in a bedroom.
Oh man they need to make a 34 ultrawide version of this
I have a question: LG TV oled 48 C2 at 800€ or LG monitor 48GQ900 at 1000€ Both absolutely new. Which one i have to buy?
I would love to use this in a virtual Pinball projekt. Is it possible to remove the externsion for the headphone at the bottom of the screen so it is flush?
can i watch youtube videos with that monitor without connecting it to anything else?
Can this run gsync and hdr at the same time with 120hz? Some screens can’t do both at same time. Also is this better then gigabytes 48” oled monitor?
Does it work with Mac over Thunderbolt on maximum refreshrate?
I just purchased a refurbished one for $899 should be here on Friday
USB C to DP?
Currently on sale on Amazon for $1299. Strongly considering replacing my C1 which is still in its return window.
What is a good laptop to recommend to my parents? they need it for a presentation with power point and other general use under 400 (with good battery life 4+ hrs)
@the tech chap do I need a specific pc to move that big screen or a regular one do the job ???
Thanks Tom! 32 looks really interesting for me. So I could run 2 monitors on my desk. But did they fix the "burn-in" issue?
the 32" screens aren't oled
I am so overwhelm for picking up a gaming monitor or a c2. All the prices are dropping fast on the lg website. I might wait for the 27 inch gaming oled. But the c2 makes more sense because of the price. Lol can’t make up my mind. I got a 25 inch lg for my temporary monitor. I had to get a monitor because my girl was complaining about me using it all the time for gaming. Lol
So. Can I use this with my Mac Studio at 4k 120hz with that Display Port 1.4 port????
Release date sometime in August for UK.
31dt today and still nothing....
What is the wallpaper with the sunset on it?
What about of ghosting ? Any abl issue?

Hi. Could I use this as an office monitor? My office desk is 4' x 8'
My 32" LG LCD TV, was Big when I was kids. But now, is kinda small

Is lack of dolby vision a big deal?
