Good video but you absoluty didn mentioned the Auto Brightness Limiter (ABL). Why? Thats the most annoyhing thing and it dims really hard when using a white document.
I am thinking of buying it for color grading with davinci resolve, does the ABL interfere in using it as grading monitor? If we disable it via hidden menu does it harm the TV which is why some people say you loose warranty?
@@RanjanSharma2001 It doesn't harm the TV, it just makes it more likely to get burn-in. But if you're using lots of other methods to prevent burn-in you should be ok.
I I am using this for games so I have not really been bothered by ABL you you should know that there is a way to turn it off with a LG service remote or with a special Software on your phone.
Watched you for the first time last year with your 48” C1 review. Quality of the editing and insight you provide is genuinely great. Keep developing your craft brotha!
Me personally, I prefer my 34" Ultrawide for work (I am a software engineer). I tried the 42" C2 and it just felt a little bit big (too high and wide) for my eyes as well as my productivity needs. However, I use it for general media consumption and gaming - IT IS THE BEST FOR GAMING (especially FPS - in particular, COD WZ)
I 100% agree. I tested C2 side by side in duplicate mode, and the problem with C2 its pixel density a differs from IPS panel. The diods of IPS have less space between them, hence it's easier to focus on text and small details, whereas C2 has a bit more sparse placed diods (with more black space between them). That's why even cursor looks more defined on IPS. It's not readily apparent, but it's harder to focus on text on C2 than on IPS. I use C2 for games and movies, IPS can't match it, but work a good old IPS much more comfortable for eyes. For a couple of hours browsing C2 would suffice, but not for 6-8 hours day work C2 has troubles displaying thin black lines, whereas white text and details are easier. So a dark more could be a solution to improve readability
Do you also use this C2 for work/office/productivity ? I'm personally afraid of burn-in and poor text clarity as I'm working with Photoshop, After FX... around 15 hours a day and I have fixed panels and still images opened at the same position for weeks. I do hesitate between this LG oled 42" C2 and the 32" Gigabyte IPS M32U. Could you please give a feedback/your impressions about it ?
@@exxo7 No. I use the C2 for many things but primarily for Gaming and YT. You have to consider the ABL and auto dimming, pixel layout and text clarity, gloss screen. It will dim with bright/static objects, the text has a pinky outline on white backgrounds and gloss can be an issue in certain lit environments. Burn in I wouldn't not be too concerned with it has many thing built in for it and I'm sure you will be taking some time out during your day =). ASBL can be turned off with a service remote which makes a huge difference to the random auto dimming. But the image clarity and OLED colors and HDR are unmatched vs IPS and the IPS glow. I love it and can overlook these small issues as it's that good but the C2 is primarily made for gaming and content, maybe you should look into the AW QD-OLED 3440x1440 UW which will be better for productivity and I heard it has better text clarity. It would be cool if they came in 38" 3840x1600 size but they don't. But they will cost more as they are "gaming" monitors, like ASUS's version of the C2 panel, the C2 however goes on sale very often...LG just seems to give these things away!
Well, in fact I'm not a big fan of the latest Alienware, I prefer flat screens over curved and for my use 2160 px is far better (720 px difference with this 1440). I'm living in Marseille (France) and the price difference is clearly in favor of the C2 (which I prefer anyway), the M32U is obviously even cheaper. Actually I have a 65" oled Panasonic since few years and I really love it. I'm slightly colorblind and I'll admit that I'm more focused in contrast than in "real" colors... and now I'm really used to oled quality and contrast :) In the office, I'm using two 24" FHD 120hz VA screens and I wanted to replace them with a bigger one (or add a third one as my main monitor). I have a PS5 in the living room (connected to my oled in HDMI 2.1) but I'm not playing on my PC anymore and I'm not really watching movies in the office... that's why I'm not so sure of the C2 in my case. The Gigabyte M32U offers a built-in KVM switch which could be helpfull as I could connect my second PC station with the same keyboard and mouse (and give the screen to a friend). The text clarity is far better and there's no need to baby-sit an IPS monitor. Moreover, this M32U is advised by Rtings for 12 different uses (and mainly mine). ...but as you said earlier, the contrast is pretty limited compared to an oled. The size is 10" smaller. I could still plug my PS5 on it and enjoy PC games "if I want to restart playing on PC" (well, I haven't touched my PS5 since 6 month now), I could also watch movies on this C2 if my wife is using the Panasonic and my kids my old plasma but if it's happening it'll be very very occasionally. (M32U is also advised for PS5 and PC gaming). In the end, I'm still lost and couldn't find the perfect screen without spending too much 😅
@@exxo7 The AW would have been cool a display few years ago but the resolution is not high enough for me personally and I don't care for curved screens too much, they are way too aggressive these days and matte coating ruin color pop. I gamed on a 28" 4K from late 2014 to 2016 and got on 34" 3440x1440 to a 38" 3840x1600 and never wanted to go 16:9 or lower rez again (I don't care what the PPI calculation say) but my 55" CX convinced me to wait for a 42" 4K OLED as once you experience it you throw away you IPS monitor like I did...I stopped using my "Gaming" IPS monitor for over a year and it sat there only for YT content, until I got the 42" C2. The gloss panel is nice and is a pleasure to look at. To me the text is not an issue. I also find it more that bright enough while retaining deep blacks and not becoming washed out or glowy like IPS panels and why I'm against matte coating on other OLEDs. I love it and will praise it to get more people to experience OLED. But if your main goal is productivity and non gaming/content, then I'm not sure this would be the correct display if you intent to use it for hours a day...on top of ABL/ASBL, text clarity over white backgrounds and potential burn in, when your PC goes to sleep I find unless I turn the C2 on FIRST you most likely will not wake the display and be forced to reboot. This work around 100% works and I'm used to it now but again it's something you don't have to worry about with DP. But OLED is slowly getting bigger and bigger in the PC market and we are stating to see more and more sizes/Hz/models, it can only get better.
I think and I hope that oled is going to invade computer monitor's market really soon ;) For now, I'll have to stick with a good old IPS or I'll take the risk of having a beautiful screen which might burn... cruel dilemma ! :D Tomorrow in France starts the January sales... I guess I'll choose the one that'll be the best deal ;) (...unless there's no particular discount on one of the two screens).
Been using the LG OLED A1 TV as a monitor for my main workstation for almost a year now. Even tho the model I chose is a bit large with 55" (bought it as a TV in the first place) and the A1 is the absolut base model for an LG OLED, its just so awesome to use as your everyday screen. Using a TV and pairing it with fancy zones (in case you're running Windows) gives you so much freedom in the way you dissect your screen and arrange windows. Then on top, the 4k OLED panels just make colorful icons on mostly dark screens in editors and terminals so pleasent to look at. I will definitely look out for a 42" OLED model in case I'm in need of a display in the future.
Can you share some tips as to "OSH" of working with an OLED TV as a PC monitor for daily work (browser, outlook, excel and other desktop apps) plus gaming? Any tips on how to prevent possible burn-in etc.?
I've been talking about glossy displays since 2008 when I got my first MacBook and every PC manufacturer had a matte display. in 2014 I got the iMac 5k and it changed the game. Fast forward to 2022 and the internet JUST figured out that glossy displays are simply better for image quality and professional work. Gamers for example HATE IT when I bring this up but it's just true. I hope more monitor manufacturers realize that in the coming years.
if glossy was better it would be on every display, it’s jus dumb marketing cause even my iphone’s blacks are actually black while my monitor is just hazy from one photon of light or sum 😑
Yea, I accidentally bought a glossy screen monitor when I build my first pc in the late 2000’s and I remember seeing my friends monitors thinking the matte screens looked terrible.
Matte is typically used on TVs for glare. Why would you want to accidentally glance at a reflection of yourself when marathoning through 3 seasons of your favorite show?
Open Box-Excellent condition from Best Buy for $765.99. It was too cheap not to buy! Even with Best Buy additional 2yr warranty I only paid $900 for this. I REALLY wanted the monitor versions like LG 48GQ900 or ASUS pg42uq but for the price and glossy screen the LG C2 was too good to pass up for me.
@@HDRGamingHub yeah i think it needs to be tweaked since this is the first wave of 1440p oled monitors. Hopefully in the next couple years the prices get better and quality gets better
this is the first sponsor add i actually liked. fluid made into the rest of the video without over dramatic it. i usuly skip sponser stuff but not this one. made me wanna buy these speakers :D
Glad to hear you liked it! I'm not really a big fan of sponsored content myself, so when I find something that's actually legit I think it's a win win mentioning it.
I have a 55in lg b6 oled my first oled from 7 years ago still going strong with minor burn in and I just bought a 65in lg g3 which I love for movies but hate gaming on big tv so I ordered the 42in lg c3 I can’t wait for it to come in
42" display, which I also own btw, but he has the worlds tiniest speakers. Comical. Some of you guys don't get it. It's all about immersion, which, includes your sound stage.
I got my 42" under 800 on Amazon Prime day just now. I already got a 65" and use it for console usage or controller for my PC. But my 42" will replace my 1440p monitor I have. I can't leave Oled, it's essential now.
I think you are very wrong but hey! Thats why we are all entitled to our opinions. Getting shades or something to kill natural light from the sun seems lile a pretty good way to mess up your sleep schedule. And yes, screens with no anti glare coating look prettier, and they work on a phone bc its tiny compared to a desktop, just look at how those big screens in living rooms can only be watched at night. To anyone reading this and lives in a sunny place, anti glare is a better experience overall in my opinion. I have an alienware laptop with glossy screen and I always wish it was matte like my desktop monitor
No word on text clarity during office use? What about the TV not being able to go into stand by, like a proper monitor? What do you do? Switch it on and off all the time? Do these things still take 30 seconds to boot up?
I have an lgcx 55 I bought ahead for my ps5 and movies and sports. I love it. Now I just got me a gaming pc. I've been using my cx for it but I want something just for pc gaming. The c2 is at the top of my list.
@@HighDesertDA I just ordered one on Amazon for $796. It's arriving this weekend ☺ Newegg has the same price for it as well. I remember seeing that price during the Black Friday-Cyber Monday weekend but never bought into it as I knew it's gonna go down further. The price may even go lower later this month and in late January when these companies realize that they didn't sell that much because of the downed economy.
@@seekyefirstknowledge9127 it’s not the best at text. Like if you look closely you can see the pixels but the distance I’m staring at, it doesn’t bother me.
the problem is that it will not last for many years. i have a c9 and after 2 1/2 years there are more then 40 dead pixel. if you use it like a TV with a watching distance of more then 2 meters, it is ok but as a monitor you will see the dead pixel all the time.
Think about this an 60hz 31" Asus Pro Art OLED monitor is $5000 AUD, an EIZO 10ms LCD 27" 4K Display is $3300 and this 42" 120HZ pure black OLED 4k display is $1500AUD... And the picture quality is vastly superior to super expensive mini led color grading monitors with insanely instant response time. I have many High End Color grading LCD monitors for Film color grading work and this thing is vastly superior in image quality. The images look 3D on the screen like you can touch it. Also in a black room at night. No comparison the black is completely off pixels. Such A bargain, totally worth it. I can't wait for 27" LG Oled gaming monitors and 31" OLED EIZO monitors. They will be completely awesome. I'll definitely get the Asus Oled and whichever Oled VR setup comes out. Oled all the way it's completely another thing. PS5's and PC's all plugged into OLED. Work and Play on Oled. It's looks so good I can tell you.
I just picked one up from Costco for $999.99, my only real issues with it are that it isn't 2" smaller or curved, and that it doesn't hit 144Hz like the Samsung QN90B does. Though, the QN90B has some bloom and haloing as well as some viewing angle imperfections when compared to the LG C2, but it's also not an OLED. Either way, they're both awesome.
15 seconds in and I'm realizing you talk exactly like Dave2D. The cadence, tone, sentence structure etc. all of it. Pretty peculiar. Solid video production nonetheless.
thank you for yr video. Personally I have a LG 42 EVO as my main display. I was afraid to do it.. Today t is way beyond my expectations and I could not dream better. it is not too big honestly. Should you have to edit video and moreover HDR content this is absolutely amazing.
As per the Rtings last long term burn in tests which I think ended in 2019. It is my understanding Rtings started a new long term burn in test earlier this year so it will be awhile before we start seeing meaningful results... it takes 1000's of hours of static images to create burn in. We have a 10yr old 64" 2012 flagship Samsung plasma with 10s of thousands of hours on it, and the last 3 years my 16yr old has been the only user of it...and still no burn in. I checked it about a month ago for burn in...nothing despite over 2,300 hrs of Overwatch, not to mention several other games my daughter has well over a 1000 hrs into for each game (i.e Fortnite, Genshin Impact, etc, etc). I really believe you have to abuse and/or neglect a plasma and/or OLED TV to cause burn in... yes it can happen but you have to work at it.
I hope LG brings out a wider version of the LG Dualup so that you could split the screen in half and be able to consume wide screen content with more diagonal inches. It's a cool concept that I want to invest into but I don't want to have to own two screens, one for work & one for play.
It was a good review but kinda disappointing because, its towards Gaming right? So why not put the main focus on that? Is it Ghost as hell like every other one? There are any Tearing? Having to get TV quality image compensate get back to less frames per second since it is most noticeable in fast peace shooting games then race games? Can people that Game the hell out of the devices they buy get some satisfaction with this TV? This is the kind of question gamers have in the back of mind when somebody do a review about something for gamers merchant. Dude, it was a nice vid but got find answers in other one.
Yes, not much said that we don't already know. Also glossed over the panel type - would be nice to see how to check it. He seems to be Apple focused but didn't mention that it only runs at 60Hz on Apple. I'd like to see examples and thoughts on text quality, and if he uses the custom resolutions while gaming. Also how usable it is when putting it in Standby or restarting it. Things that other reviews haven't already had for the past 6 months.
How is text on a C2? I do a lot of powerpoint and excel for finance, and I'm trying to understand how it works with that and if I'm at increased risk of burn-in using it all day with things like Outlook and Microsoft Teams open most of the day
Good video but you absoluty didn mentioned the Auto Brightness Limiter (ABL). Why? Thats the most annoyhing thing and it dims really hard when using a white document.

I have been using the same Samsung 49" 4k KS8000 as my main monitor attached to a 27" iMac since 2016 and its great. I agree, glossy is better.
another great video just found you today, loving your chill vibration
Thanks dude!
1:38 That screensaver is awesome
So want one of these but a 32 inch version
No word on text clarity during office use?
What about the TV not being able to go into stand by, like a proper monitor? What do you do? Switch it on and off all the time? Do these things still take 30 seconds to boot up?
What are the dimensions of the desk? That part was left out and could be very useful.
Got it for $796 from Amazon (10% cash back using Amazon card). It was amazing. Could’t be better
Is no one going to talk about how crazy his aiming skills are?
I have an lgcx 55 I bought ahead for my ps5 and movies and sports. I love it. Now I just got me a gaming pc. I've been using my cx for it but I want something just for pc gaming. The c2 is at the top of my list.
had mine for about a week now and I'd recommend it. got it from best buy for around 1100
A shout-out for the Mac Mini seems appropriate.
I got a lg c1 65 inch a few months ago and love it didnt realize there was a c2
Just got it for $879 after tax at Best Buy. Yeeeeee!!!!
clean review… definitely subscribing
how do you not have more subs, great channel!
Just ordered for £885 👌🏼
Solid pickup!
@@spectertech can’t wait pal. Arrives Thursday all things well 👌🏼
thank you for a good video buddy ! Gonna pick up a C3 42 to try it out ! have the 48 and its massive ! To massive - so didnt used it for my desktop.
You can find it for $999 now- what a deal! I agree if the stand was adjustable that would be welcomed. Nice review.
Got it for $899 on black Friday. Definitely worth it
@@HighDesertDA I just ordered one on Amazon for $796. It's arriving this weekend ☺ Newegg has the same price for it as well. I remember seeing that price during the Black Friday-Cyber Monday weekend but never bought into it as I knew it's gonna go down further. The price may even go lower later this month and in late January when these companies realize that they didn't sell that much because of the downed economy.
@@ninja.saywhat thanks for the heads up. Just got a price match 👍🏻
Sold my 49” Samsung curved monitor and bought this for my desktop. I don’t regret it at all! Beautiful images. More accurate colors. Love it!
Me too but the wide angle was much more natural for the brain. I needed a few days to train my brain for the LG as a monitor.😅👌🏻
How good is it as a monitor? Renders text ok?
@@seekyefirstknowledge9127 it’s not the best at text. Like if you look closely you can see the pixels but the distance I’m staring at, it doesn’t bother me.
Just got mine for $899 and using it for ps5 and PC. Its blowing my fucking mind away
Great review, you deserve to watch and subscribe
I have the 48” and it’s insane.
in that size, I wished it was 8k (then u would get that "retina/hidpi"-experience on a pc because u sit so close).
*Sigh*
Need this in a 32” size!
how are you putting up with ABL during productivity?
Excellent video quality and information! Would you mind sharing what brand/model desk you are using?
1:34 Video? Wallpaper? Link? LOOKS AMAZING FOR OLED
Dude, no more shrinking man… 42 is just perfect if you are someone like me who has multiple windows open and lots of workspace
got it for 788 , should come in this week! delayed gratification prices ftw! ^_^
What about the reports that this monitor is using an older panel?
I have the a90k Sony and I have the lg c2 the 2 oled out right now and I really like the c2 better
Nice content, subscribed.
Great job!
Do I need a remote to turn it on?
Great vid. What is the desk you're using?
Dayummm what a great review!!
the problem is that it will not last for many years. i have a c9 and after 2 1/2 years there are more then 40 dead pixel. if you use it like a TV with a watching distance of more then 2 meters, it is ok but as a monitor you will see the dead pixel all the time.
Think about this an 60hz 31" Asus Pro Art OLED monitor is $5000 AUD, an EIZO 10ms LCD 27" 4K Display is $3300 and this 42" 120HZ pure black OLED 4k display is $1500AUD... And the picture quality is vastly superior to super expensive mini led color grading monitors with insanely instant response time. I have many High End Color grading LCD monitors for Film color grading work and this thing is vastly superior in image quality. The images look 3D on the screen like you can touch it. Also in a black room at night. No comparison the black is completely off pixels. Such A bargain, totally worth it. I can't wait for 27" LG Oled gaming monitors and 31" OLED EIZO monitors. They will be completely awesome. I'll definitely get the Asus Oled and whichever Oled VR setup comes out. Oled all the way it's completely another thing. PS5's and PC's all plugged into OLED. Work and Play on Oled. It's looks so good I can tell you.
great video just wondering here, what about the greenish tint in black screens that i am seeing. kinda distracting.
You should have mounted the tv on a arm mount.
I just picked one up from Costco for $999.99, my only real issues with it are that it isn't 2" smaller or curved, and that it doesn't hit 144Hz like the Samsung QN90B does. Though, the QN90B has some bloom and haloing as well as some viewing angle imperfections when compared to the LG C2, but it's also not an OLED. Either way, they're both awesome.
is the C2 true 120Hz? like on the ufo test
@@taizzle70 Yes, it is and it's beautiful.
15 seconds in and I'm realizing you talk exactly like Dave2D. The cadence, tone, sentence structure etc. all of it. Pretty peculiar.
Solid video production nonetheless.
thank you for yr video. Personally I have a LG 42 EVO as my main display. I was afraid to do it.. Today t is way beyond my expectations and I could not dream better. it is not too big honestly. Should you have to edit video and moreover HDR content this is absolutely amazing.
I dont understand why no one has made a 27-34'' 4K OLED monitor. They have 27" 4K, 27" OLED but I cant find both at the same time.
I don't see why dimming is annoying on a black and white document. Unless you have really low brightness to begin with, it doesn't bother me at all.
As per the Rtings last long term burn in tests which I think ended in 2019.
It is my understanding Rtings started a new long term burn in test earlier this year so it will be awhile before we start seeing meaningful results...
it takes 1000's of hours of static images to create burn in.
We have a 10yr old 64" 2012 flagship Samsung plasma with 10s of thousands of hours on it, and the last 3 years my 16yr old has been the only user of it...and still no burn in.
I checked it about a month ago for burn in...nothing despite over 2,300 hrs of Overwatch, not to mention several other games my daughter has well over a 1000 hrs into for each game (i.e Fortnite, Genshin Impact, etc, etc).
I really believe you have to abuse and/or neglect a plasma and/or OLED TV to cause burn in...
yes it can happen but you have to work at it.
What's your experience with any text fringing?
interestingly enough i have the same desk autonomys
Wallpaper from thumbnail please
I hope they make a 1440p @ 32" or 27" display. It will sell like hot cakes.
Great video. Thx. Quick question. What desk are you using?
i hope a 37 38 or even a 40inch one it would be a insta buy! but 42inch 60cm is too close i think
Are you using the M1 Mac mini? Why not upgrade to Mac Studio?
Should I buy it for my work (2D design) and Ps5 gaming ?
I hope LG brings out a wider version of the LG Dualup so that you could split the screen in half and be able to consume wide screen content with more diagonal inches. It's a cool concept that I want to invest into but I don't want to have to own two screens, one for work & one for play.
Hello! Can you tell me pls whats your wallpaper ?
Great vídeo btw . Keep going . Im using that model as a monitor and its great .
Link to the standing desk please?
Great tv
Been keeping my eye on this model. Being so thin will I still be able to you a swinging arm?
What is the brand of the standing desk that he is using?
I have imac 5k and i cant buy any other monitor out there..I was waiting for this ..I am never gonna buy mate finish displays
Is that good for graphic designers and 3d artists?!
If only there would be a version somewhere in the 30s, thats like playing on a TV
Just purchased a CS2 from BB for $800, had 100 worth of rewards points, so I got it for $700 plus tax.
I heard that C2 has the problem with text clarity
Is 42 inch a good size for living room? I want to use it as a TV not a PC monitor. My living room size is around 12-14 feet
How you keep your wires so clean
Hello, what is your standing desk? Could you share a link please? I'm looking for white one like yours. Thanks.
this presenter is utterly convincing
It was a good review but kinda disappointing because, its towards Gaming right? So why not put the main focus on that? Is it Ghost as hell like every other one? There are any Tearing? Having to get TV quality image compensate get back to less frames per second since it is most noticeable in fast peace shooting games then race games? Can people that Game the hell out of the devices they buy get some satisfaction with this TV?
This is the kind of question gamers have in the back of mind when somebody do a review about something for gamers merchant. Dude, it was a nice vid but got find answers in other one.
Yes, not much said that we don't already know. Also glossed over the panel type - would be nice to see how to check it. He seems to be Apple focused but didn't mention that it only runs at 60Hz on Apple. I'd like to see examples and thoughts on text quality, and if he uses the custom resolutions while gaming. Also how usable it is when putting it in Standby or restarting it. Things that other reviews haven't already had for the past 6 months.
@@donkeysunited Yeah, you watch the review Buy the thing and next thing you know you are returning it back because it sucks.
Do you feel any neck issues while working for long hours...?
How is text on a C2? I do a lot of powerpoint and excel for finance, and I'm trying to understand how it works with that and if I'm at increased risk of burn-in using it all day with things like Outlook and Microsoft Teams open most of the day
Off topic, but where can I find that orange light bar in the corner?
I’d say no,just wait for the bendable monitors 😂
What depth is your desk and do you have a link to where you bought it?
Not bright enough and the colors are dull when compared to the recent QD-OLED panels.
Forget the monitor what mouse pad is that?
