      I am worried about the pixel per inch being too low on this C2, as I am currently doing my legal work on a 140 PPI screen, which is very good for clear text. You're confident text is quite good on the C2, or do you just tolerate the text image and enjoy it for other purposes (gaming, movies?) ?

    I have been using TV's as monitors for years now, since 2015 when 4K @ chroma 4:4:4 became a reality on these displays. I don't think I could ever go back to using a pc monitor, you just don't get the same bang for your buck. And that glossyness you speak of is one of the reasons I LOVE using a TV as a monitor. The clarity and vibrance is unmatched when compared to a matt finish monitor. Currently for the past 1.5 years I have been rocking the LG Oled CS 55" panel. I have never had the dust issue you are having though and I also wall mount my screen to get it exactly 1cm off the desk giving it a very flush clean look.
    Awesome video by the way.

    I have been using the LG C2 55" television for several months now, and overall, I have been quite satisfied with its performance. The only minor issue I have encountered is the auto-dimming feature, which can be a bit bothersome. However, when paired with the powerful RTX-4090 graphics card, the screen truly comes to life, delivering an awesome visual experience in 4K resolution at 120Hz, especially when indulging in games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The graphics are so immersive that it feels like a genuine work of art.
    In terms of gaming, I have found the LG C2 to be more than sufficient, rendering a remarkable 120Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution. While some enthusiasts may strive for even higher frequencies for an even smoother visual experience, I personally find 4K at 120Hz to be absolutely stunning. In fact, I haven't felt the need to use a dedicated computer monitor for gaming in years because of the capabilities of televisions delivering such high quality nowadays.
    Although the color mapping on the LG C2 may raise some questions, it is relatively easy to address. Unless I were engaged in computer-based artwork, I wouldn't invest additional funds in achieving perfect color accuracy. As long as skin tones, grays, and specific colors such as the Amazon yellow buttons appear satisfactory, I consider it to be good enough. Moreover, I have found that adjusting the digital vibrance settings on my NVIDIA graphics card greatly impacts the color performance of the LG C2.
    I also purchased the service remote for the television, but it came to my attention that doing so would void the warranty. Therefore, I proceeded with caution and haven't even used it since buying it several months ago. I appreciate your video on utilizing the LG C2 as a monitor; it was interesting to witness someone else's perspective on the matter. I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment, and as a result, I have subscribed to your channel. It appears that your opinions and product reviews align closely with my own, and I appreciate your honesty in acknowledging any shortcomings a product may have. Thank you for creating such informative content, and I eagerly anticipate your future videos.

      @@Stickers2Go Not without a service controller which is a few dollars on Amazon. When you use the "Service Controller" you void the warranty on the TV -- and they (LG) can tell if you used one.
      The auto dimming feature only happens when you go "idle" on a computer. It's not as horrible as your thinking it is.
      It doesn't happen while you are watching things on a TV or really as things happen on the TV.
      It just happens sometimes. There are settings you can tweak with it but it does happen from time to time. When it does happen I just push the Windows Key on my keyboard a few times and the dimming reverts to "normal". It's really not that bad.
      I actually like that it happens because sometimes I get distracted and walk away from the TV and the auto-dimming happens before a screensaver happens.

Colour out of the box look perfect, watching media is a bliss and not to mention that multiple windows open on screen still look very readable due to size.

    Well over a decade ago I used a 42" Wells Gardner arcade monitor for a monitor. It behaved like a regular monitor, standby mode and everything. It also overclocked to 90ish hz. So I had a taste of big screen high refresh, then it died after a few years.
    Fast forward and just a month ago I found a floor model 55" C1 for $470. I took the risk and picked it up. No burn in at all and it's running solid. I'm loving being back in the big screen gang again!

    Ended up buying the C2 after 6 months of waiting for the AW3423DW, and I'm super happy with it. Got a 27in monitor on each side, so I don't even mind the auto dimming, since it mainly happens when I'm not looking at the screen. Thought it would be too big, but got used to it pretty much immediately, almost wish I went with the 48in to be honest.

    • @Denki

      I got a C2 for £500 2nd hand but was only less than 30 days old! I got very lucky. I use it for my desktop/movies but mostly games. It is PERFECT, but I do need to sit back more.
      Also, clarity wise, it's pixel perfect. Didn't have to mess around with any font clear type rubbish or any 3rd party apps
      And finally, for reassurance, I got insurance cover so I don't care about pixel burn, I will let you know when I get it, but for now, has been running solid for about 2 months. And do put it into standby at night. Once thing I noticed, it doesn't make that loud clicking sound when you turn it off (pixel refresh).
      I guess the C2 doesn't do it like the C1 (I have a 55" C1 too, which gets a TON of play time)

    Nice video. I've been using a 48" LG CX as my monitor since March 2021, and I've loved it. I do a lot of video editing and motion graphics work, and I appreciate the screen real estate. My one issue was one that you mentioned: the auto-dimming. I had put up with it for a couple months before learning about the service remote trick to disable it. Since then, it's been excellent. It's logged over 9,000 hours of usage since I've had it (9,068 at this moment, to be exact)... and there has been zero burn-in. It's possibly not as bright as it was when I first got it, but I have no complaints about brightness. When this dies, I will immediately replace it with whatever the current LG OLED of similar size is. Y'all can keep your ultrawides and curved displays: I'll take vertical resolution and a big display for my tired old eyes any day of the week.

    I've been using 4K TVs as a monitor since 2014. I don't use a screensaver (but screen shuts off after 1 hour inactivity) AND keep my TV brightness very high to combat the reflection issues you mention. I regularly have static sections of my screen or even walk away for 30 minutes at a time, leaving the entire screen static.
    I've had this TV for 4 years now and there is no burn-in or screen issues at all. Only ever had burn-in on one (the 1st one, so probably older technology).
    I'm not recommending this to anyone, just sharing my usage and experience.

    Oh, and miniLED still does a wonderful job, 1000nits & no ABL at all. Did I mention sustained 600nits on a 100% window? (LG 42C2 can't do more than 130-150nits)
    If you just plan on gaming and watching movies, OLED should be fine, but if you also use it as a monitor, QLED is way better and it comes with no pampering bs. Throw any static white content all day long, you won't care.

    I have a 55". Sometimes I feel like it's too big... OK I am lying, I love it.
    I got a TV stand that sits between the wall and my desk with the TV mounted on it, though. Keeps the TV from vibrating around if I nudge the desk. It also saves a ton of space.
    It's essentially a really heavy glass base with a square tube coming out of the top of the base. The square tube has the same mounting hardware at the top of it that most TV's use to mount to a wall. It doesn't "yaw", which is nice. It can twist and has a slight "up and down" tilt, but is otherwise very solid. The base is pretty low-profile too, so it doesn't really take up space under the desk. I like it a lot. It's called "TAVR Universal Floor TV Stand Base" and was 60-something USD.
    TV and manufacturers are smart. A lot of them also make monitors. I have a feeling there is a reason we don't see display ports on TV's...

    I use an LG CX 42” at my desk, and I would endorse everything in this video, with one word of caution:
    With the auto dimming disabled in the service menu, you run a real risk of burn-in. I generally arrange my windows in 2:1 layout (one 2/3 the width of the screen, another using the remaining 1/3). After about six months of use, I began to see a noticeable vertical bright strip it the point where those two windows met. Some months later, I also began to see a fainter bright vertical strip down the middle of the screen, from when I run two windows each occupying half the display.
    No amount of Pixel Refresher has removed these bright spots, and I have sadly resolved to live with it. I did eventually turn the auto-dimming features back on, however, to limit further damage.

    I bought an LG Ultragear 48GQ900-B OLED as it went on on a huge discount and am loving the screen real estate. It's got a matte display for anti-glare so I don't have the super glossy TV issue. It's less of a TV and more of a focus as a gaming monitor (No smart tv software). Auto-dimming isn't a bother for me as it doesn't seem like it gets too dark, if anything I just wave my mouse and it lights back up with no issues. I'm also using Wallpaper engine with animated wallpapers, so I don't have to worry about burn in. If anything I keep icons and such on the 2nd monitor I have in portrait mode.

    Super surprising just how well OLED works for daily PC usage these days, especially when you disable some of the protection features with the LG service remote like Linus had done. The size + something like FancyZones is a great way to replace a 3 monitor setup with one large 40-50 inch 4k display.

    ive been rocking my LG CX 48" since it came out as a computer monitor with great success. 15706 hours as i write this = zero burn in issues. I tend to practice safe habits with this TV..within windows, I always have an all black background..i dont have icons on my desktop.. I have the taskbar set to autohide.. I have all the LG safeguards on. ., when i game (which isnt all that often, i always game in a window - due to size of the monitor).. i have windows screenset always set to come on after 10 mins.. i typically shut the TV off when i walk away... now i have decided that Im going to pick up the service remote and disable the dimming..i do find it to be one of only 2 things that annoy me on this otherwise fantastic tv/monitor.. the other is watching dolby vision content.. i find that it strains my eyes.. but thats a personal issue... my next monitor will be another OLED

    I have been using a 55" C1 OLED now for over a year as a PC monitor. Before that I was using a 65" OLED until I moved my PC from the living room to the games room. So basically I have used my PC on 2 different OLEDS for years now and to this day, I have never once had burn in. I love OLEDs and the inky blacks and fast response times make it amazing for gaming. Highly recommended. Any modern OLED from the last few years will have its own system to prevent burn in, even the few times I have left my screen on and come back later to see a screen saver on it, it wont allow an image to stay too long on it. The local dimming can be a pain, but a quick mouse movement to move your open window will soon make it bright again. So for me, no real negatives!!!

I am legally blind so i have limited vision and have to sit closer to my monitors and still be able to use my keyboard and mouse without hassle. I now many years later have settled in with a dual monitor setup on adjustable monitor arms. I have a 27" main monitor and a 24" 2ndary monitor in portrait mode. I use them for both my work and personal computer and love the setup. now I'm just thinking of upgrading to a 32-34" curved display as my main and rotating the current 27" and using it as my 2nd monitor

    I used a 40 inch monitor as a TV for a long time, but now I've gone back to 27"
    I can appreciate why some people would like it, but I find a 40-42" is too much when close to me, so I have to place it further back on the desk... which just takes up more space on the desk and ends up effectively smaller anyway due to being placed much further back. So I figure why not just put a 27" closer?
    I liked the 40" when I had a small room and it doubled up as my TV and second monitor, but I find it's too big as a "daily driver" monitor

    Loved this posting as I am seriously considering a large tv option for monitor, so thanks for that.
    I don't know if the more up to date Mac OS has already done so, so forgive me if I don't know as I am still on a past OS. Concerning burn-ins, I would love if the top menu bar could tuck away when not in use just like the bottom dock can tuck away when not in use. It would be nice to have a clean desktop, and as I move my cursor up, only then would the menu bar drop down. Obviously the scripting 'exists' since the bottom dock tucks away nicely and only pops up when my cursor approaches it. So far vlc player is the only time I've seen where the top menu bar goes away when not in use. It's 2023, you'd think they would have had this option available by now.

    I replaced my 3 24 inch monitors with a 42 inch 4k TV a several years ago and have never looked back. The one large monitor takes up less space then my old 3 monitor setup but with way more actually usable screen real-estate. My TV just has a VA panel, OLED was really expensive back then, so it is not great for fast moving games, but it is amazing for work and for games like rimworld, anno, etc... I just put a proper gaming monitor on a long arm to the side that I can fold out front of my TV monitor when playing something fast paced or used as a second monitor when I need. At some point I would like to upgrade to a OLED, but I have been afraid of burn in and mostly I am still just content enough with my current setup.
