I would recommend a couple of safety tips against burn in - hide your taskbar - hide your desktop icons - use a cycle of wallpapers, if animated, even better I got mine a couple of weeks ago and love it, never going back
Just got mine this weekend for $899. I love it! I was gaming on my 65” C1 in the living room where the tv is positioned above the fireplace. I wanted a desk experience where I could play eye level. Best purchase I’ve made this week
That hight is not healthy for your neck, the upper edge of the screen should be at eyes level so you do not need to look up. Believe me this is coming form a computer engineer who spent thousand of dollars at physiotherapy and orthopedists due to side effects of elongated neck strains.
Correction: the multi-view function DOES NOT support 2 HDMI devices, it will only allow you to do 1 HDMI + Screenshare. I’ve bought the C2 42 and everything has been good except for this stupid lack of 2 HDMI inputs for PIP/PBP.
I bought the C2 expecting that feature since it has multiview..... So just after i bought the C2 the C3 came out with the dual hdmi feature i wanted in the first place. Whats the point of saying something has something when in reality it has half the function of what it should have.
I just have a cheap 43 inch 4k TV that I use as a monitor, and it looks amazing. I can only imagine how good this one looks. They had them on for $299 so I gave it a try, and it's so bright, colorful, and sharp. Even at like 2 feet away you can't see the individual pixels. Like an iPhone. Just crisp. It gives you so much screen real estate and is like a breath of fresh air after getting home from work where I use a regular 27 inch LCD monitor. I just don't get people with their little dim laptop screens. I'll probably go blind or get puckered eyes, but the 4K TV looks sweet as a computer screen.
I used a 43" last year and it worked good. My work doesn't have the office space so my boss told me I'd be working from home for quite awhile so I decided to get a C1 48. The 43 was washed out in comparison and the blacks were more grey but the 43" did full chroma 4:4:4 so it displayed decent text but OLED really has it beat. If you plan to use it as a pc monitor it will work fine but if you have the budget I'd highly recommend a 42 or 48 oled.
I don’t know if you noticed at this point of owning the tv but make sure to assign hdmi 1 as a PC input I believe latency will go down to better help your experience using a pc with it
I have a question ! How did he connect the pc and the screen turned to windows? Does the pc do that? Or did he connect a laptop to the tv monitor then was able to see windows?
yes. I have an LG 43" TV as monitor going into 5 years now, doesn't feel big. The size feels like the minimum to get when you get past or get away from PC monitor sizes.
@@chrispotterfan Since it is LCD, no different than any LCD monitor. You just have to increase the Windows scaling so that text is not too small on a big TV. OLED TVs have problems with text like color fringing or less sharp due to the layout of OLED subpixels like the on the LG.
I’ve had mine for 3 months. The quality is amazing, but the size is just too big to be used comfortably on a desk. It kinda hurts my eyes and even makes me a little motion sick when playing fast-paced games. I’m considering replacing it with a 32” 4K OLED now.
I have the LG CX 48" as a pc monitor and i love it, you did a great review and after seeing this video i will try to get this LGC2 42" for this Christmas !
Neah, I had a 32 inch and moved to a 27 inch pc monitor. The 32 inch was simply too big for the distance from my eyes to the monitor. plus this one forces you to keep your head high, might hurt your neck.
Looks nice! But please, angle those speakers towards you or use stands to not have to squeeze them on the desk stand. First thing I notice in every post/video haha.
I was about to comment this and im so glad someone else at the top of the comment section did. As a composer/producer this is actually triggerworthy for me
Tips for those watching this video, don't do the same mistake as the video, use auto hide your start menu to prevent burn-in. Enable pixel shift, use dark mode on Windows, apps, browser and websites. Activate backgrounds that automatically are changing.
And probably don't put it up on a monitor riser. This is the only channel I've seen where the TV has not been close to the desk. All ergonomics guides say the top of the monitor should be at eye level and that's already hard with a 42" TV. Raising it up further is not going to help.
@@Jay-xq1dc I have to take back my comment. I just set up this monitor today and it was too low on my desk. The top of the TV was below my eye level. The stand on this TV is really low compared to normal monitors. I have it up on my old monitor riser now and I think it might be a touch too high but I'll try it out until I can find a happy medium. Something I have noticed about auto-hiding the taskbar - there is still a grey line in the lower left from the search box and the active app icon. So it doesn't hide the task bar fully. That could be troublesome.
Try hooking your MAC with a USBC to HDMI 2.1 Adapter. It will allow you to run at 120 hertz in 4k with your LG C2. I know that this video is 2 years old but I tried this with my LG OLED C4 and my M1 Mac and now it runs at 144 Hertz in 4k and 8k at 60 hertz. I hope this information helps. Let me know your thoughts. I know this information will also help a lot of people that use TV's as monitors.
I want to buy the new version of LG 42 C4, since I mostly do codes, is your eyes okay using it for long term? since I heard using OLED is more tiring than IPS panel type
yeah 42 is too small for a TV but too big for a traditional pc gaming monitor setup. I have a pretty big desk and tried using my 42 inch TV just to see and it was a not enjoyable at all. 32 is the sweet spot for most gamers I think.
Man I wish qd oleds were cheaper, then I could finally bite the bullet and buy one, the added inbuilt tv tuner and being such a chill benefit when im done studying or gaming, i can kick back and watch some sports or movies.
Great job with the video as always Andres! I always enjoy the aesthetic of your videos and the content you cover. keep up the great work and I will continue to support! 🫡
Your set up is f*ckn fantastic. I love everything you did here. I love the table, the look of your pc. the black painting on top. the monitor, keyboard and chair. 💯🔥🫡
Apparently, you're using Windows default DPI settings. At least on video, fonts and icons seemed too small. Did you try set DPI to 125 or 150? Or is it comfortable to use at default settings?
I bought a Samsung smart monitor 43” and I love it. I thought would be too big but now it seems the perfect size and my old 32” seems too small. I was wondering if this monitor goes to standby automatically when you turn off your computer like a pc monitor which is the case in my Samsung smart monitor.
@@Curimo This is true, but most LG TV's will auto shut off after a few minutes of no signal being detected. The only problem is that you have to manually turn them back on, but that's a fairly minor inconvenience.
How does this monitor deal with text? Is text clear? And how do you deal with burn in when you have a static task bar on the screen for hours at a time?
Andres on Windows have you gone to System -> Display and increased the scale? To be frank the display is too large for a main monitor for anything other than gaming
Question..Do you have to have any special hardware to connect monitors for both cable viewing and computer work? I am asking because I am seeking a remote job..

I would recommend a couple of safety tips against burn in
- hide your taskbar
- hide your desktop icons
- use a cycle of wallpapers, if animated, even better
I got mine a couple of weeks ago and love it, never going back
Perfect, I'll remember this!
Most. Modern panels don't burn in any more as the led isn't static it's constantly moving
That kind of helps, but things like the taskbar requires too much pixels, it can't be moved that much
@@aster22380 Perfect way to show you have no idea.
@@Enrique.V no it can they just refresh the pixels.in place
It’s definitely a good all rounder.
I looooove it
Hi spawnpoint been subscribe to u since 2021
Just got mine this weekend for $899. I love it! I was gaming on my 65” C1 in the living room where the tv is positioned above the fireplace. I wanted a desk experience where I could play eye level. Best purchase I’ve made this week
bro literally same story here. Being able to sit close is a game changer
@@johnedwards3489 it really is. My neck appreciates it
That hight is not healthy for your neck, the upper edge of the screen should be at eyes level so you do not need to look up. Believe me this is coming form a computer engineer who spent thousand of dollars at physiotherapy and orthopedists due to side effects of elongated neck strains.

tough one, will they bring it in a firmware update ?
@@pateffect nope, doubt so. The C1 had this feature missing as well, and that model was in the market for more than a year already.
that's a deal breaker for me as a monitor
I bought the C2 expecting that feature since it has multiview..... So just after i bought the C2 the C3 came out with the dual hdmi feature i wanted in the first place.
Whats the point of saying something has something when in reality it has half the function of what it should have.
@@LonewolfyXDThe C3 only has PiP on 55" and above. LG 42C3 & LG 48C3 does not support picture in picture / dual screen through 2x HDMI.

@@thaxon1 did it fix it?
Yup I have the C1 and I can confirm that, its a bit tricky getting to the menu of where to change it, but it does make a big difference.
I have a question ! How did he connect the pc and the screen turned to windows? Does the pc do that? Or did he connect a laptop to the tv monitor then was able to see windows?
thanks for the video, I just got this LG as a Christmas gift and so far, I'm blown away by the colors...
yes. I have an LG 43" TV as monitor going into 5 years now, doesn't feel big. The size feels like the minimum to get when you get past or get away from PC monitor sizes.
@ZnajdanGaming yeah. i want something larger on my next!

I like you keyboard? wich model?
Finished Season 4
Just lovely 😩
Can you tell us, why you get rid of it a few weeks later again?
Every video you put out gets me excited to create a real desk set-up/office and not just have a desk with my computer... Great video!
I have the LG CX 48" as a pc monitor and i love it, you did a great review and after seeing this video i will try to get this LGC2 42" for this Christmas !
Can you watch like tv shows does the quality change ..? I bought a “4k” tv an some stuff it’s alilgrainy
Neah, I had a 32 inch and moved to a 27 inch pc monitor. The 32 inch was simply too big for the distance from my eyes to the monitor. plus this one forces you to keep your head high, might hurt your neck.

No
Love this kind of review. So practical.
Are the colors accurate? Compared to print or App/website?
this is what i am rocking with my 4090 and so far super brutal
very good setup. I'm going to collect the same setup from Ikea, I'm jealous. The My Setup Products explanation is worthy of applause.
Bro your setup is GOALS
Just bought LG C3 and I love it. What about OLED burn-in? Did you notice something?
Super Video Bro Intro Super cool Keep Going Bro
Thank you man!
recommends for graphic design and photo editing ?
Where can I get that Messi and Ali poster above your desk ??
sick video! the thumbnail always attracts me man dayum!
But isn't it bad due to the lack of curve? Seems to be too big for me without curve
Do we know the risks of burn-in with the latest OLED models?
sick monitor/tv & sick desk too

I plan on getting this T.V next month for my new set up. Will replace my old 5year old Dell 4k 43inch. I just wish it had a Display input
Ah Man I love this whole Setup -------WOW!!!!!!!
I have the same speakers, and the powered speaker is supposed to be on the left.
I want to buy the new version of LG 42 C4, since I mostly do codes, is your eyes okay using it for long term? since I heard using OLED is more tiring than IPS panel type
42 is still big …I would prefer a 32 or 34 inch for desktop preference
yeah 42 is too small for a TV but too big for a traditional pc gaming monitor setup. I have a pretty big desk and tried using my 42 inch TV just to see and it was a not enjoyable at all. 32 is the sweet spot for most gamers I think.
How is the text clarity while coding? Is color fringing an issue?
what about the burn in risk in games and static images taskbar wallpapers etc on the long run?
Man I wish qd oleds were cheaper, then I could finally bite the bullet and buy one, the added inbuilt tv tuner and being such a chill benefit when im done studying or gaming, i can kick back and watch some sports or movies.
Hello again, could I ask where you got your monitor riser from please. Thanks
What desk do you have?
Can’t wait for you to get your hands on the new Asus 42” monitor and do a review!
Your setup is amazing
Except his speakers
I hate that Spotify doesn’t have a button ever or no remotes that ik of could you program to open a app
i use the c1 48" for a year now, and its freaking awesome, there is no way i will ever use a pc monitor again :D
I have pretty much the same setup. does looking up at your tv make your eyes feel sick like a nausea feel?
Loooove the smooth glosss so clean
Which size grovemade shelf do you have??
Great job with the video as always Andres! I always enjoy the aesthetic of your videos and the content you cover. keep up the great work and I will continue to support! 🫡
Thought I wont get a video today. Im happy now
Can you do a minimal laptop setup for gaming and productive works?
A bigger desk, more distance for the screen
Any chance we got an update on screen burning after a year?
Your set up is f*ckn fantastic. I love everything you did here. I love the table, the look of your pc. the black painting on top. the monitor, keyboard and chair. 💯🔥🫡
Um, love the videos, tv, etc., but where did the Adidas slides come from?!
Get some drapes or blinds or something to cover your window, viewing experience improves dramatically!
I have this TV in 77". I tried playing world of warcraft on it too. that lasted about 10 minutes xD its brilliant
Love the portrait canvases
Hey, nice video. But how do have more than 2 windows open in Split View? For mac
Apparently, you're using Windows default DPI settings. At least on video, fonts and icons seemed too small.
Did you try set DPI to 125 or 150? Or is it comfortable to use at default settings?
With the c2 what is your table dimension? Hpw far are you sitting
is 42" safe for your eyes ? i mean how long u stare at that big monitor for record ?
I missed what you said about how youre getting 120Hz out of the monitor
I need this desk in my life 😮 where can I get the desk and drawers?
Great review covering the real facts that users care about. Just ordered one and good to know about the assembly, vesa mount, setup and usage!
Great ! but how many deep desk for 48“ ?
Can you put a link up of where you got the monitor stand that you’re using for the c2?
I wanted to get one but linus warned us all about burn in.... did they fix it?
Nice video, BUT question: it's not so near to your eyes that 42" about useful distance?
Great content. I'm still waiting for 36" OLED.
This is absolutely fantastic setup man congratz.
For me I think only thing I change is instead of that huge screen I will have dual screen setup.
Lol. The whole video is about the single monitor. You couldn't have liked the setup that much.
Lmao bruh the whole video is about that “huge screen”😂😂
i really wonder if this monitor can edit photo/vide color accurate?
especially photo

No it does not, unfortunately, like the other Tv's a message appears that says there is no input device detected...
Hi, I have the same. How do you type in “” when using Remote Desktop function?
@@Curimo This is true, but most LG TV's will auto shut off after a few minutes of no signal being detected. The only problem is that you have to manually turn them back on, but that's a fairly minor inconvenience.
Hi, Can you tell me what PC fans you're using in video ?
Cool bro 42 inches are the best monitor size for me. Make a setup integrating it with a laptop. By 5he way make this tv permanent.
Thanks for the review.. I'm wondering of it's possible to plug in a Amazon Firestick via hdmi and run the video in the corner whilst using a Mac Mini?
How’s the text rendering? That’s one thing I can’t seem to like too much especially for coding.
How does this monitor deal with text? Is text clear? And how do you deal with burn in when you have a static task bar on the screen for hours at a time?
That's crazy! Your RUclips home feed looks exactly like mine! I guess we watch the same type of content
Andres on Windows have you gone to System -> Display and increased the scale? To be frank the display is too large for a main monitor for anything other than gaming
Responsiveness and mouse latency are not good ? I thought it was amazing on oled ?
Any issues with burn in or brightness lose?
his "middle" car is an Audi S3? What's the normal size one?
looks amazing😋
Superb themer 🧡
Question..Do you have to have any special hardware to connect monitors for both cable viewing and computer work? I am asking because I am seeking a remote job..
canvas' look sick!
Thank you so much!
should i be worried about burn-in when i would use it as a monitor?
Could you share your settings for using with macbook?
Why doesn't it support 4K 120hz on a Macbook M1?
Which wallpaper are you using?
4:05 That peel was a crime!
Hello, tell me what kind of network filter you have? yellow under the table.
Thanks for your video, would you let me know your motion desk brand ?
Hello, thank you for your video. @08:35, can this TV be used at 120Hz with a PC at desktop windows mode? (not gaming). Thanks
