I returned this monitor back to microcenter just because of the constant black screen I get when gaming. Did the software update required to fix this issue and after the update the monitor did not respond and I just got a black screen.

Then I will game on it (13900k and 4090) and last but not least I have a Nvidia Shield hooked up to it as well that I use to watch TV or movies every once in awhile. If I was buying a display for gaming on a console like a PlayStation or Xbox and to watch TV on I would pick the LG. If I needed another PC monitor I would buy the PG42QU again.
@@bp328i Thank you for the detailed reply. I most likely will have to go with the C3 (C2 no longer available) or C4 (when it's on sale) because a 48" PG42QU is out of my price range. I have vision issue, and I can't play 95% of games on a 32" monitor. I don't want to take any more chances and just get a 48" to be safe. I try being safe with a 32" and it ended up being a waste of money and time---and time is money. Don't get me wrong, the Gigabyte gaming monitor that I bought is fantastic, but It's just too small for my poor vision. I heard the speaker on the C3 is noticeably better than the C2 as well. Since you have a C3, is it true? And is the speakers on both the C2 and C3 loud?
@@OGtruthserum When I bought the C3 I bought a sound bar setup at the same time, but yes the C3 has better built-in speakers than the C2. That being said, I'm not 100% sure that doesn't just come from the size difference between the two as my C2 is 48" and my C3 is 77". I've never looked into specs of the audio on them.
@@bp328i I would be happy with either, just waiting for a sale, if I am capable of waiting. I know Costco has C3 on sale (YMMV), but they are not the size for a monitor. If I could see on a 42-inch monitor, then two 42-inch monitor setup would be perfect for me for multi-tasking. Otherwise, one 48-inch monitor should do the trick. If it wasn't for my vision, my prefer setup is a 32:9 super ultrawide monitor. However, don't buy the state-of-the-art Samsung G9 and Neo G9, that monitor has the worst QC I have ever seen in all my years of buying electronics. Hopefully I get one soon until I get fix my vision issues.
Picked one up for $320. Obviously not a normal sale. I was not even looking for this but I love the 42" display the OLED and the HDR features, it has unreal image quality. I came from a 27" 2k 180hz IPS panel from LG and the difference is crazy.
Very excited, They just did a price drop and I just ordered it finally. I'm very excited to see what my RTX4090 can do with this. G-Sync and DLSS3.0 should start dumping me up to 120fps. I'm coming from a 4k 60hz model and she's always FPS capped because of the monitor.
you wont be dissapointed, the monitor is amazing. (Altho i did leave the plastic on for a week cuz i liked the glossiness, lol) if your monitor turns off after 4 hours of use, upgrade the firmware, mine came with a bug where after 4 hours it would shut off and go into "pixel cleaning mode" but it can be fixed with firmware update.
@@1UpNerdcore there you are, after upgrading firmware, auto pixel cleaning stops. However, do you manually initiate the pixel cleaning feature sometimes, perhaps after extended use? What are your thoughts on doing this? Sometimes after I get up after gaming or doing spreadsheets, im gonna get off my screen for an hour or two....ill run the pixel cleaning before i step away. (no more frequent than 4 hours of solid screen time tho) what do you think?
I have this monitor and it's been 4 months. It shuts off randomly and becomes unresponsive, requiring me to unplug from the wall. And now I've discovered a dying pixel, right in the center. 4 months... this thing cost me ~$1400. Not only this, but I've been totally neurotic about keeping this thing in top shape: monitor sleep time set at 5 minutes, never leaving on a static image, and running pixel cleanings whenever prompted. The picture is amazing and it truly enhances my computer use but the issues have me honestly reconsidering my decision to get this.
It’s has a warranty so run the RMA on it. Burn in will happen years down the road. OLEDs come with some caveats like not leaving it on a static image etc but being obsessive extends it only so much. Go micro led if it’s causing anxiety about burn in.
Ive had my LG C2 for a year and have burn in. If I pull up paint and fill the whole screen with certain colors (green is the worst), I definitely see shapes of different brightness. The OLED panel care where it shuts off for 10 minutes does not fix it, nor does leaving it off overnight. I have had it on 24/7 for the past year though, and have the OLED picture movement option turned on.
@@1UpNerdcore mm, no, they dont. its been left on 24/7 for a year, and now the OLED panel care doesn't fix it, nor does turning it off overnight, now. and no I don't count the dozen or so times of routine OLED panel care during that year where it was off for just 10 minutes against my statement of it being on 24/7
@@reltius2993 That's your fault buddy. It's been stated that you should not leave the monitor 24/7, yet you did anyways. The oled technology is still very early, well slowly being developed and mainstreamed and yet you didn't follow proper precaution. Hope you got your money worth. A quick google search would've been helpful :D.
Great review - I recently got the pg42uq and happy thus far... Also ordered the now old Govee g1 pro gaming light which I believe you were using with this monitor - are you able to share a view of how you affixed the light strip to the non flat back of the monitor? Any tips for camera attachment and/or any other advice?
im trying to decide between this and the LG C4. It will be used for Xbox Series X couch gaming and movie watching mostly, but ide like to be able to hook my PC up to it too.
Hey! Great review, really appreciate it. What are you using to backlight behind the monitor? Never seen something like it, especially being that it changes depending on the picture. Thanks!
i ordered the c3 right now and it looks great but i think im going to return it and get the asus one cause of the DP cable and the extra hertz for gaming. one thing you forgot to mention is that the c3 does not have the matte finish compared to the asus. im waiting on the asus to see the difference in person
Awesome video! Thanks for all of the helpful information. Curious what specs you run on your computer and what frames this resulted in? Not sure if my 4070Ti can handle this or not? Also, for more competitive shooter type games, is there any options for reducing the window size down to say 27 inches to keep that more 'traditional' monitor feel that is usually used for these types of games?
I run a 3080ti. Your 4070ti should do okay. You can set any game to be windowed at the resolution you want and then scale it so it’ll be close to a 27inch monitor.
Have you also tried the the larger cousin, PG48? If you have, besides the obvious difference in the size... any noticeable difference between the two, which one would you prefer? Im looking for a new monitor and specifically OLED, but realise that 48 inches might be too large for me as will use it as a computer monitor and will be sitting quite close.
I bought a PG48UQ and it arrived today. Thought everything was ok until I went to select a 3840x2160 Refresh Rate of 120hz. Nope. Black Screen which forced me to turn the monitor off/on and even then I had to turn auto-detect off to finally get it to revert to 60hz. I tried turning Overclocking on/off - I don't even see the 138hz option as refresh option. I made sure I installed the Monitor Driver and updated to Firmware .029 (Was on .028). I tried changing colour gamut to 4.2.2 which finally allowed me to go 120hz but then it started flickering and upon reboot all I get is a Black Screen. I can't even get into Safe Mode to revert the graphics change I made. I have a 3080 - surely it and this monitor can do 3840x2160 @ 120hz? I've literally watched RUclips reviewers do it! All in all an absolutely dismal experience so far.
@@1UpNerdcore Nice of you to answer so quickly dude. New Display Port cable (1.4). I tried several. No go. HDMI for my work Laptop works just fine. I just can't see the screen to adjust the Nvidia Driver back to what it was. I can hear Windows booting (ect). It got too late so I'll hook my PC up to a second screen tomorrow to see if I can adjust the Drivers back to what they were. I didn't try HDMI though on my PC which is something I will do. I'll let you know how I get on. I think I'll go sRGB from DCI color space too as it just popped more. I'm just baffled as to why I can't select 120hz. Never had this issue and I've been using / building computers for 35 years. Previous Monitor was an Alienware 38" - never had an issue with 120hz.Oh, latest Nvidia Drivers installed.
@@james_tiberius_kirk73 for 4:4:4 10 bit 4k 120hz you need a HDMI 2.1 compatible cable. for 138hz OC you need a Display Port cable 1.4. I don't know is the ones that came on the box are but that's happen to me when my C3 arrived. I got a new HDMI 2.1 full 48gb bandwidth and problem solved.
How can you sit so close to it and feel comfortable? I have the LG C3 42, and even at 3 feet, gaming feels uncomfortable. In fact, I’ve started considering downsizing to a 32” OLED for that reason.
Thank you for your update, but I have a question about pixel cleansing 12:32 . The question is does the monitor did pixel cleaning by itself every 8 hour or should I do it by myself because I have the same monitor but I'm not sure about pixel cleaning works.
Hello! Thank you for the video. If you're still using this monitor, how do you like it after 3 months of use? Are there any issues with pixel burn-in, and do your eyes get tired since you sit close to the monitor?
im at 3 months, eyes DO NOT get tired. I play a lot of COD and the visuals are now spectacular. I switched from a 50 something inch ultrawide samsung odyssey g9 i think is what it was. But i prefer the resolution, brightness, and bright colors/crispiness of this monitor. Extremely responsive it is. Amazeballs. Unboxing it make your butt-cheeks pucker a little bit because it is that awesome. if u get it and it has the issue where it automaticcaly turns off after 4 hours, upgrade the firmware and it should resolve this. bear in mind tho (this is my worry) that sinc eits oled its succeptable to burn in. I play a lot of games but I do a lot of work on spreadsheets too but i said "screw it, lets see what happens" so....after long gaming sessions, or when I get up to leave or something, i will run the "pixel cleaning" feature, just to be on the safe side, not sure about this tho, if im doing the right thing.....i want to care for the monitor and take care of it so it lasts long.
Can't decide if I want to take it out of the box or return it. I do mostly 3D work all day and some gaming too. It seems nice but it's probably too big for my dual monitor set up and I really don't want to get burn in of a Cinema 4D menu and windows task bar lol
The pixel cleaning helps and burn in would take a 3-4 year to actually happen from what I’ve read. They have heat sinks to help prevent this issue and subtle changes like telling the menu bar to hide will all help. It’s hard for me to go back to any VA panel or IPS after using this because it’s just looks so good
@@1UpNerdcore Thanks for responding, I thought it happened after hours of a static image. Might have to take it out of the box lol.. Just have to make my desk bigger for both monitors now haha
Thank you for this useful video. I’m still hesitating between the PG42UQ and the 42C3. Would you say that the speakers are good enough not to consider an external solution? I won’t have space for dedicated speakers once I place this behemoth on my desk but I can get something like a Katana SE soundbar.
Speakers on C2/C3 are also very good. I would wait for black Friday and you're gonna get C3 for $800 or even less. I bought my 42 C2 last Black Friday for £699 in the UK. PG42UQ has nice monitor features, but the C2/C3 glossy screen looks so much better.
@1UpNerdcore Yessir. Because I live in the Middle East, the best option for me was to buy this from an American store. This monitor is not available where I live, and I learned my lesson when purchasing a big monitor like this one from abroad.
I ordered an LG C3, the picture is beautiful but I can't stand the glossy screen. The whites shine too much, it tires me. I sent it back. I should get a matte screen instead, this Asus one looks good but it's true I find it way too expensive for the moment. and what's more it has less functionality than a TV
@@1UpNerdcoreunderstood ! I have about a couple more hours and then I need to pick a monitor as I’ve been at this for days. What would you say is the best oled you’ve reviewed? Picture quality wise. ( I’ve also never had an oled monitor nor a 4k so I’m hoping I can get something rhat will really show a difference) coming from a 1440p lg ultragear 165hz.
Hi, I have two big and important questions to ask you before buying this screen because I am interested. "I am French" 1 - Can you confirm that this monitor will be able to show me 1080p 60hz when I play on ps3 slim, ps4 fat? I also own the other playstation but I'm sure it's good so don't worry 2 - What is the size of your table on this video please?
How noticeable is 138hz?? I was ready to pull the trigger on the LG C4 but only 55" up are 144hz. The "auto pixel clean" issue was resolved? I'm using the LG C2 48" as a monitor for some time and I love it. This is exact the same, better or worst? 240hz OLED are too small for me (I'm literally blind) 32" for a 4k and 34" up aren't 4K just 1440. Thanks in advance
@@1UpNerdcore Even with HDR enabled? So technically the only differences between this Asus monitor and the C3 would be that the monitor has a Display Port, antireflection coating on the screen and the other features like good speakers and stuff. In terms of input lag / latency is the exact same? Thank you for your reply. :)

I want to get this, but I have static imagery on my desktop for over 12 hrs a day every day, and I don't want to change my usage like have a disappearing taskbar, no icons, changing background, etc. I just want to continue using my PC as normal. Will I see burn-in...? Every review that I watch where the person says they haven't seen burn in, they've taken measures to prevent it. I want to know what will happen if I do nothing to prevent it.
You will get it quicker than those taking the measures to prevent it. All oleds will eventually see burn in. For those taking these measures let’s say it takes 3-4 years. You might see some in 1 year.
@@imafirenmehlazer1the video is only being shown in 60 fps, so you won’t be able to see the full 138hz smoothness of the monitor. it’s your phone screen that looks like shit not the monitor.
i have the 48 version i dont think anything can beat it man and also i thought hdr looks washed out on this monitor how is your not? nobody uses hdr on these hmm
You have to make adjustments for each individual game through the game settings and windows through the nvidia or amd control panel. It takes some time to nail it down
Not that I’ve seen. It can have some when overclocked to the 138hz but I doubt most people when even notice it because it’s not very pronounced and it only seems to happen for a second or two and then it’s gone.
Mine broke after a year. I fixed it and now it's having problems again. The only good thing was the picture, the rest is a bad joke. pixel clean every 4 hours :))) image rettention. I don't know if I should fix it again. Maybe I'll make a clip on my channel in which I break it with a hammer and consider that I paid almost 2000 euros to Asus for a year and 4 months of oled image. :)))) I hope you don't share my experience with this product...
I will buy an OLED monitor when a company gives one a 10 year no burn in warranty. Until then, I am not sinking a huge amount of money into a ticking time bomb.
That’s never gonna happen. That’s too much risk for any company to assume long term. Regular panels go out over time as well so your better bet is waiting for the tech to improve where burn is unlikely to happen for 10 years on an OLED
Have you noticed any VRR flickering on the pg42uq? I have the LG C3 and the flickering is so noticeable. Also, is the asus fully compatible with g-sync? As the LG c3 has issues with the g sync handshake and also states “not compatible” when it actually is. Basically, the flashing is driving me mad (even in 5 frame fluctuations) and having to reset my driver every time I start the computer to get g sync working has been really annoying. Please let me know. Thank you.
No real issues with flickering, on a rare occasion I might notice something when overclocked to the 138hz but that’s pretty rare and it’s for a split second and then goes away. It works with g sync compatibility so you’re good there 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore amazing, thank you. Last thing - How about with big frame rate fluctuations- like playing star citizen and loading in for the first time. Still no frame issues? Sorry for asking, but the c3 has really shook my confidence and I wanted to make sure before I ordered it.
I got pg42uq recently and I have VRR gamma flicker on Warframe and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Tried dozens of options but it's basically only helps capping fps/hz to not trigger VRR or disable gsync to suffer tearing. Big disappointment.

I'm sure a lot comes from the way I use the PG42QU. My main use is as a PC monitor, 8 - 10 hours a day I'm working on it logged into a virtual desktop for the company I work for. Then I will game on it (13900k and 4090) and last but not least I have a Nvidia Shield hooked up to it as well that I use to watch TV or movies every once in awhile.
If I was buying a display for gaming on a console like a PlayStation or Xbox and to watch TV on I would pick the LG. If I needed another PC monitor I would buy the PG42QU again.
@@bp328i Thank you for the detailed reply. I most likely will have to go with the C3 (C2 no longer available) or C4 (when it's on sale) because a 48" PG42QU is out of my price range. I have vision issue, and I can't play 95% of games on a 32" monitor. I don't want to take any more chances and just get a 48" to be safe. I try being safe with a 32" and it ended up being a waste of money and time---and time is money. Don't get me wrong, the Gigabyte gaming monitor that I bought is fantastic, but It's just too small for my poor vision.
I heard the speaker on the C3 is noticeably better than the C2 as well. Since you have a C3, is it true? And is the speakers on both the C2 and C3 loud?
@@OGtruthserum When I bought the C3 I bought a sound bar setup at the same time, but yes the C3 has better built-in speakers than the C2. That being said, I'm not 100% sure that doesn't just come from the size difference between the two as my C2 is 48" and my C3 is 77". I've never looked into specs of the audio on them.
@@bp328i I would be happy with either, just waiting for a sale, if I am capable of waiting. I know Costco has C3 on sale (YMMV), but they are not the size for a monitor. If I could see on a 42-inch monitor, then two 42-inch monitor setup would be perfect for me for multi-tasking. Otherwise, one 48-inch monitor should do the trick.
If it wasn't for my vision, my prefer setup is a 32:9 super ultrawide monitor. However, don't buy the state-of-the-art Samsung G9 and Neo G9, that monitor has the worst QC I have ever seen in all my years of buying electronics. Hopefully I get one soon until I get fix my vision issues.
Picked one up for $320. Obviously not a normal sale. I was not even looking for this but I love the 42" display the OLED and the HDR features, it has unreal image quality. I came from a 27" 2k 180hz IPS panel from LG and the difference is crazy.
Very excited, They just did a price drop and I just ordered it finally. I'm very excited to see what my RTX4090 can do with this. G-Sync and DLSS3.0 should start dumping me up to 120fps. I'm coming from a 4k 60hz model and she's always FPS capped because of the monitor.
Where are you seeing the price drop?
you wont be dissapointed, the monitor is amazing. (Altho i did leave the plastic on for a week cuz i liked the glossiness, lol) if your monitor turns off after 4 hours of use, upgrade the firmware, mine came with a bug where after 4 hours it would shut off and go into "pixel cleaning mode" but it can be fixed with firmware update.
@@1UpNerdcore there you are, after upgrading firmware, auto pixel cleaning stops. However, do you manually initiate the pixel cleaning feature sometimes, perhaps after extended use? What are your thoughts on doing this? Sometimes after I get up after gaming or doing spreadsheets, im gonna get off my screen for an hour or two....ill run the pixel cleaning before i step away. (no more frequent than 4 hours of solid screen time tho) what do you think?
@@1UpNerdcore B&H photo has this monitor for under 1k now. as of 12/29/23
I have this monitor and it's been 4 months. It shuts off randomly and becomes unresponsive, requiring me to unplug from the wall. And now I've discovered a dying pixel, right in the center. 4 months... this thing cost me ~$1400. Not only this, but I've been totally neurotic about keeping this thing in top shape: monitor sleep time set at 5 minutes, never leaving on a static image, and running pixel cleanings whenever prompted. The picture is amazing and it truly enhances my computer use but the issues have me honestly reconsidering my decision to get this.
It’s has a warranty so run the RMA on it. Burn in will happen years down the road. OLEDs come with some caveats like not leaving it on a static image etc but being obsessive extends it only so much. Go micro led if it’s causing anxiety about burn in.
"The OLED TV was beautiful, but unfortunately, I had to return it after only two weeks of owning it due to some disappointment."
I love that you use the SHP 9500. If you want an upgrade to it, I suggest the AKG K702.
Ive had my LG C2 for a year and have burn in. If I pull up paint and fill the whole screen with certain colors (green is the worst), I definitely see shapes of different brightness.
The OLED panel care where it shuts off for 10 minutes does not fix it, nor does leaving it off overnight.
I have had it on 24/7 for the past year though, and have the OLED picture movement option turned on.
The last two sentences contradict each other. Did you have it on 24/7 or did you turn it off when not in use?
@@1UpNerdcore mm, no, they dont. its been left on 24/7 for a year, and now the OLED panel care doesn't fix it, nor does turning it off overnight, now.
and no I don't count the dozen or so times of routine OLED panel care during that year where it was off for just 10 minutes against my statement of it being on 24/7
@@reltius2993 That's your fault buddy. It's been stated that you should not leave the monitor 24/7, yet you did anyways. The oled technology is still very early, well slowly being developed and mainstreamed and yet you didn't follow proper precaution. Hope you got your money worth. A quick google search would've been helpful :D.
Great informative video, thanks for sharing.
Great review - I recently got the pg42uq and happy thus far... Also ordered the now old Govee g1 pro gaming light which I believe you were using with this monitor - are you able to share a view of how you affixed the light strip to the non flat back of the monitor? Any tips for camera attachment and/or any other advice?
I have two videos on my channel about how it set it up 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore thx for your rapid reply! I think I did see the G1 pro set up video but it was with a smaller monitor. Will check it out nonetheless
LG C2 and C3 have an auto dimmining issue that isn't simple to fix, they don't have auto on/off with your pc.
im trying to decide between this and the LG C4. It will be used for Xbox Series X couch gaming and movie watching mostly, but ide like to be able to hook my PC up to it too.
This doesn’t have any smart tv features so if you need that then C4. If not either would be a good choice.

Hey! Great review, really appreciate it. What are you using to backlight behind the monitor? Never seen something like it, especially being that it changes depending on the picture.
Thanks!

This monitor looks amazing just watching a video of it on my 7 inch 1080p OLED phone. I'm trying not to impulse buy it.
i ordered the c3 right now and it looks great but i think im going to return it and get the asus one cause of the DP cable and the extra hertz for gaming. one thing you forgot to mention is that the c3 does not have the matte finish compared to the asus. im waiting on the asus to see the difference in person
How do you find the difference between the two? Especially with the matte finish of the asus?
@@matikalt1243 the matte finish really suks but at night you can hardly tell but it still sucks tbh

Super monitor !!! no problem ....
Awesome video! Thanks for all of the helpful information.
Curious what specs you run on your computer and what frames this resulted in? Not sure if my 4070Ti can handle this or not?
Also, for more competitive shooter type games, is there any options for reducing the window size down to say 27 inches to keep that more 'traditional' monitor feel that is usually used for these types of games?
I run a 3080ti. Your 4070ti should do okay. You can set any game to be windowed at the resolution you want and then scale it so it’ll be close to a 27inch monitor.
@@1UpNerdcore running a 3080 not TI on a 12 year old (i7 4790k) processor and it still kicks arse ;)
Have you also tried the the larger cousin, PG48? If you have, besides the obvious difference in the size... any noticeable difference between the two, which one would you prefer? Im looking for a new monitor and specifically OLED, but realise that 48 inches might be too large for me as will use it as a computer monitor and will be sitting quite close.
Hey awesome monitor and review, how do you do those actiive/live background or wallpaper???

My PG42UQ gets very dim in HDR PC same goes for Xbox Series X and PS5 with firmware v040
If you want 120Hz on a Mac, your only choice is a Thunderbolt to DP Port connector. Macs are limited to 60Hz via HDMI.
Mac Studio can do 4k 144hz via hdmi
That‘s wrong. My M3 Pro can for sure output 4K 120 hz over hdmi 2.1 - I‘ve read that it‘s supported since M2.
I bought a PG48UQ and it arrived today. Thought everything was ok until I went to select a 3840x2160 Refresh Rate of 120hz. Nope. Black Screen which forced me to turn the monitor off/on and even then I had to turn auto-detect off to finally get it to revert to 60hz. I tried turning Overclocking on/off - I don't even see the 138hz option as refresh option. I made sure I installed the Monitor Driver and updated to Firmware .029 (Was on .028).
I tried changing colour gamut to 4.2.2 which finally allowed me to go 120hz but then it started flickering and upon reboot all I get is a Black Screen. I can't even get into Safe Mode to revert the graphics change I made. I have a 3080 - surely it and this monitor can do 3840x2160 @ 120hz? I've literally watched RUclips reviewers do it! All in all an absolutely dismal experience so far.
You have up to date nvidia drivers? You try new DP cables, you try hdmi cable?
@@1UpNerdcore Nice of you to answer so quickly dude. New Display Port cable (1.4). I tried several. No go. HDMI for my work Laptop works just fine. I just can't see the screen to adjust the Nvidia Driver back to what it was. I can hear Windows booting (ect). It got too late so I'll hook my PC up to a second screen tomorrow to see if I can adjust the Drivers back to what they were. I didn't try HDMI though on my PC which is something I will do.
I'll let you know how I get on. I think I'll go sRGB from DCI color space too as it just popped more. I'm just baffled as to why I can't select 120hz. Never had this issue and I've been using / building computers for 35 years. Previous Monitor was an Alienware 38" - never had an issue with 120hz.Oh, latest Nvidia Drivers installed.
@@james_tiberius_kirk73 for 4:4:4 10 bit 4k 120hz you need a HDMI 2.1 compatible cable. for 138hz OC you need a Display Port cable 1.4. I don't know is the ones that came on the box are but that's happen to me when my C3 arrived. I got a new HDMI 2.1 full 48gb bandwidth and problem solved.
Is there a likely hood of a 2nd gen 42inch panel in 2024?
They’re coming out with a 32 inch OLED and 240hz 27inch
How can you sit so close to it and feel comfortable? I have the LG C3 42, and even at 3 feet, gaming feels uncomfortable. In fact, I’ve started considering downsizing to a 32” OLED for that reason.
I usually use a 32 inch monitor but I’ve now used 3 42inch monitors so I’ve become accustomed to it over time and don’t mind it as much anymore
Thinking about getting this or. Odyssey Neo G9. Still have a 1440 TN panel.
Either are great options. Super Ultrawide vs this larger size will be something to consider
Thank you for your update, but I have a question about pixel cleansing 12:32 . The question is does the monitor did pixel cleaning by itself every 8 hour or should I do it by myself because I have the same monitor but I'm not sure about pixel cleaning works.
You have to run it through the menu. It gives a warning that it’s time to do it but you have to turn it on.
Oof.. that sounds like a pain to have to manually run a monitor menu item 2+ times a day@@1UpNerdcore

Yes you can turn it off 👍🏻
Hello! Thank you for the video. If you're still using this monitor, how do you like it after 3 months of use? Are there any issues with pixel burn-in, and do your eyes get tired since you sit close to the monitor?
I used it for 8 months in the video and I’m at 12 months now. It’s still my main monitor, no burn in and it’s still my favorite monitor.
im at 3 months, eyes DO NOT get tired. I play a lot of COD and the visuals are now spectacular. I switched from a 50 something inch ultrawide samsung odyssey g9 i think is what it was. But i prefer the resolution, brightness, and bright colors/crispiness of this monitor. Extremely responsive it is. Amazeballs. Unboxing it make your butt-cheeks pucker a little bit because it is that awesome.
if u get it and it has the issue where it automaticcaly turns off after 4 hours, upgrade the firmware and it should resolve this.
bear in mind tho (this is my worry) that sinc eits oled its succeptable to burn in. I play a lot of games but I do a lot of work on spreadsheets too but i said "screw it, lets see what happens" so....after long gaming sessions, or when I get up to leave or something, i will run the "pixel cleaning" feature, just to be on the safe side, not sure about this tho, if im doing the right thing.....i want to care for the monitor and take care of it so it lasts long.

I’ve had these for 6+ years now and I still love them 👍🏻
Can't decide if I want to take it out of the box or return it. I do mostly 3D work all day and some gaming too. It seems nice but it's probably too big for my dual monitor set up and I really don't want to get burn in of a Cinema 4D menu and windows task bar lol
The pixel cleaning helps and burn in would take a 3-4 year to actually happen from what I’ve read. They have heat sinks to help prevent this issue and subtle changes like telling the menu bar to hide will all help. It’s hard for me to go back to any VA panel or IPS after using this because it’s just looks so good
@@1UpNerdcore Thanks for responding, I thought it happened after hours of a static image. Might have to take it out of the box lol.. Just have to make my desk bigger for both monitors now haha
Thank you for this useful video. I’m still hesitating between the PG42UQ and the 42C3. Would you say that the speakers are good enough not to consider an external solution? I won’t have space for dedicated speakers once I place this behemoth on my desk but I can get something like a Katana SE soundbar.
The speakers are the best I’ve used on monitor so no external speakers would be needed here
@@1UpNerdcore Thanks, great to know!
Speakers on C2/C3 are also very good. I would wait for black Friday and you're gonna get C3 for $800 or even less.
I bought my 42 C2 last Black Friday for £699 in the UK.
PG42UQ has nice monitor features, but the C2/C3 glossy screen looks so much better.
Lots of people, me included, have received this monitor broken. Bear that in mind when purchasing this monitor.
My unboxing video I had this happen and covered that in that video also. It’s really sucked!
@1UpNerdcore Yessir. Because I live in the Middle East, the best option for me was to buy this from an American store. This monitor is not available where I live, and I learned my lesson when purchasing a big monitor like this one from abroad.
I ordered an LG C3, the picture is beautiful but I can't stand the glossy screen. The whites shine too much, it tires me. I sent it back. I should get a matte screen instead, this Asus one looks good but it's true I find it way too expensive for the moment. and what's more it has less functionality than a TV

I'm using the LG C2 48" as a monitor for some time and I love it. This is exact the same, better or worst? 240hz OLED are too small for me (I'm literally blind) 32" for a 4k and 34" up aren't 4K just 1440. Thanks in advance

How is the text clarity on this monitor? I'd love to get it for gaming but I also work from home full time so text clarity is important - more so given I am a software developer!

You have to make adjustments for each individual game through the game settings and windows through the nvidia or amd control panel. It takes some time to nail it down
Does this display have flickering when VRR is on like LG OLEDs do?
Not that I’ve seen. It can have some when overclocked to the 138hz but I doubt most people when even notice it because it’s not very pronounced and it only seems to happen for a second or two and then it’s gone.

Hi. I just bought this monitor for $1145.
I will buy an OLED monitor when a company gives one a 10 year no burn in warranty. Until then, I am not sinking a huge amount of money into a ticking time bomb.
That’s never gonna happen. That’s too much risk for any company to assume long term. Regular panels go out over time as well so your better bet is waiting for the tech to improve where burn is unlikely to happen for 10 years on an OLED

Have you noticed any VRR flickering on the pg42uq? I have the LG C3 and the flickering is so noticeable.
Also, is the asus fully compatible with g-sync? As the LG c3 has issues with the g sync handshake and also states “not compatible” when it actually is.
Basically, the flashing is driving me mad (even in 5 frame fluctuations) and having to reset my driver every time I start the computer to get g sync working has been really annoying.
Please let me know. Thank you.
No real issues with flickering, on a rare occasion I might notice something when overclocked to the 138hz but that’s pretty rare and it’s for a split second and then goes away. It works with g sync compatibility so you’re good there 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore amazing, thank you. Last thing - How about with big frame rate fluctuations- like playing star citizen and loading in for the first time. Still no frame issues? Sorry for asking, but the c3 has really shook my confidence and I wanted to make sure before I ordered it.
I got pg42uq recently and I have VRR gamma flicker on Warframe and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Tried dozens of options but it's basically only helps capping fps/hz to not trigger VRR or disable gsync to suffer tearing. Big disappointment.
