Does the KVM work for the macbook and the PC? I have a very similar setup with a 42" LG c3 with PC and a macbook pro and thinking about getting this for the exact same use case. I want to use the same mouse and keyboard for the mac and the PC so wondering if the KVM will work or I need to get something seperate. Thank you!
For those interested in doing photo editing work on this I can confirm that is great. For starters if you have a colorimeter like SpyderX or i1display, you CAN use the LG Calibration studio software with it. Not quite the same as having a 14-bit look table built in like some monitors from Viewsonic or BenQ, but if you understand how to calibrate correctly you can get outstanding result from this panel. In my case I was able to get 99% sRGB, 90% AdobeRGB, and 93% DCI-P3. Not quite LG claims, but very close. Both portrait and landscape images can be displayed quite large in photoshop. Unlike in a 27" monitor where landscape photos display nice an large but portrait photos seem too small. This "square" monitor gives you plenty of space for both photo orientations. My only complain so far is that thicker bezel at the bottom, they should have made it the same all around so when you rotate it the thicker bezel isn't on the right side. it is ugly but sometimes it creates a better layout for work.
The other way to look at the resolution of this monitor is that it is either left or right half of a 5K monitor. That is probably how they make the screen if you think about it.
omg you bought it :D ! for me this aspect radio is amazing !! I can't understand why still we can't buy any profesional oled amoled PC display... perfect contrast and perfect for calibration.
Would love to hear your experience using the C2 42” TV as a monitor. Have been on the fence due to the inconvenient quirks as it is not intended to be used as a monitor
There aren't any quirks associated with the fact that it is a TV, that only brings advantages, such as the remote control, much superior UI, built-in apps and so on. Using OLED as a monitor has some specifics. I will probably make a setup video early next year where I will talk about that.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks for sharing. I read that you have to select the HDMI input every time you connect your laptop. I’m running a MacBook setup you see
Great review as always! Would love to try this aspect ratio in a monitor, but I don’t think I can go back to 60hz. But man, having a huge preview window above editing timeline would be fantastic.
I am a programmer and web designer, I've been using a 60Hz monitor like this one for long time, and believe me, it does not affect productivity whatsoever.
I got this monitor in April. I was very happy with the overal use etc. But yesterday i wanted to move it closer to me and something broke inside and i got a black screen. I called lg support and explained it and got an answer that shocked me. Its not covered by the warranty, and fixing the problem might cost more than buying a new one. I'm happy this happend because we were thinking on getting these monitors for our entire team @ the office. Dodged a bullet there :-).

MacBook Air M2 Review for Content Creators - bit.ly/AirM2review
Which brand/model are your calibrated monitors please?
This is one of the best reviews for a monitor I've ever seen. Simple, to-the-point, and comprehensive. Thank you!
My worlds are colliding, you're literally reviewing everything I'm planning on buying from the X-H2S to this haha
Heheheh

I love dualup as my 2nd monitor with my 27 4k 16:9 main monitor. Viewing pdf file, code, word document, excel sheet, webpages and etc are unreal!
Hey, Nice video. Curious question: When 2 laptops are connected would we be able to copy content from one Laptop to another Laptop ?
Did you use a dock to connect both monitors at the same time?
Can you use it rotated on it's side? Seems like it would work great, almost like a classic 4:3 ratio CRT monitor, like the good old days.
Yes, that is possible.

Where did you get the laptop dock? Been looking for one of those for ages look so smart!

What resolution do you have this at? If I use the native one I feel the menu fonts look way too small.

Did you come to Matera this year? 😀
No, I was there in 2021.

No, unless you change the input, there is no need to select it every time.
@@TheHybridShooter That's great info. Thank you so much! Love all your videos
7:32 visible grid?
Not in reality ofc.
Oh my, I NEEED THIS!!!!
It's too big.
Ideal solution is 22-23", WQXGA 2560x1600, 100Hz monitor
I disagree.

Thank you! I’m not sure how you benefit from more than 60 Hz on a productivity-oriented monitor such as this one.
Just for me the smoothness of the mouse is really important. I know it shouldn’t matter as much as it does to me, but somehow it does.
@@RobbyHuang why does mouse movement even matter in productivity

More specific description would be necessary to make a relevant verdict on the issue. I am moving mine daily, and I have never had any issues.
