    I've been using this TV as a monitor for 1 year. I use it daily on Windows for 3D modeling, architecture and gaming. Overall I am very happy with it. The OLED holds its reputation as an amazing panel. I did a ton of research before buying it, however, after one year of use, I realize any of the reviews mentioned the weakest point on this TV. It is not auto dimming (I use mine at 20% brightness just fine), not burn-in (dark mode looks amazing), not the screen size (I want a bigger one lol). The bad part that no one talks about is: the subpixel layout on this TV creates a NOTICEABLE edge around green and yellow colors! If you work on things like websites with white background and then choose a bright green or yellow accent color for your design, that edge really shows and you will be frustrated.

Mi opinión es que es una tv para usar en un cuarto sin mucha luz y no la vas a romper fácil, si andas con el brillo alto seguramente si.

    I got a C3 just before Black Friday for about $860 (plus tax). I am using it exclusively as a PC display, paired with an RTX 3080ti. The only issue I've discovered is that if I allow my system to drive the FPS past 119hz the screen goes black. But that only happened when I was trying to use the display in SDR mode, before limiting my 'Max FPS' in the control panel. I'll also note that I've used some 40" TVs for Displays in the past, and as long as I can sit an appropriate distance from the display it's just a large display.

    I actually own this TV and bought it with the aim to use it like this. However in the end I’ve bought a G95T due to widescreen matte and no auto dimming. The C242 is amazing for gaming and movies though so when I build my office this year that will be side extension I’ll use both (it will be narrow so 42 tv will work well). I also considered the Apple display and have 2 older thunderbolt ones but I don’t do creative work so the G9 works better for me. We have so many of the same products and use cases I love your channel the moment I found it a long time ago!

    I didn't really like it at first because I was coming from a curved gaming monitor but after getting used to it and getting the settings tweaked just right it actually looks amazing. By far the best Monitor I've ever used with a Computer. Also, I bought the remote and removed that aggressive auto-dimming crap...it effects color and brightness even when you don't realize it is...it's far too aggressive. They removed the ability to do this on the C3, so don't get the C3 it's basically the exact same thing as the C2, in fact they hid the chip model number on the C3 as well so that people wouldn't know it's the same exact monitor.

      65 inch 4k is very low pixel density though. It's equivalent to a 32.5 inch 1080p screen, while windows is designed around 22-24" at 1080p. Of course this doesn't matter if you sit further from your display.
      Once 6K and 8K become commonplace resolutions we'll see monitor sizes go up again. But on 4K you don't wanna go above 55" for monitor use

    Good day, can you use a hdmi 2.1 to display port 1.4 cable? And will it run to 120hz ? I also have an older gpu the 5700xt. Im a bit hesitant to grab the C2 as can find much information on having this setup.

    • @Alexander_Bahgheera
      @Alexander_Bahgheera Před rokem

      Hello there! I ran the 5700xt on a buddy of mine’s C2 and it did remarkably well however we got amazingly fair 1080p experiences and a solid 4k experience on low to medium settings going from 40 to 70 fps depending on the title. I then later on tried a 6900xt that was on a stellar sale and that seemed a bit more consistent with its frames numbers. Though to be fair I only played games that were on my radar at the time like mainstream esports titles and and the Witcher 3 , cyber punk was heck on wheels though for the 5700xt, but she pulled through a little better than I had guessed and then warframe! I wish you the best of luck with your set up and hope you have fun!!! Have a blessed day!💪🤓

    Hi - Nice video, very high quality.
    Noticed you showed yourself video editing. I was wondering if you have issues uploading captured HDR footage to your editing software in a single monitor setup like this? Most setups seem to be 2 monitors minimum and have to use a "DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K" to get the HDR content into e.g. Adobe or DaVinci - I only found out about this today!
    I've done casual editing on DaVinci Resolve before on a traditional monitor. Last year I changed my single PC setup from 3 monitors to 1 single 42" LG OLED. I can capture HDR footage without issue, have tried uploading it etc and watching on other devices to check the colours etc, all good. What I didn't realise this would affect is my ability to edit within DR, I naively assumed it would all be smooth sailing! Today I uploaded the same HDR footage into DR and was surprised to see it washed out etc. I tried all sorts before resorting to the internet. I had no idea the workflow process was so complicated (amateur user) for using an OLED - it also appears that it's almost impossible where the OLED is your only monitor, i.e. the one you are going to record on, edit on and post process on.
    Are you playing in HDR, whilst capturing your footage in SDR and then editing it with HDR turned off on the OLED?

    There seems to be a problem that my LG C2 OLED TV has, when it comes to connecting to a laptop. It's quite late in response times and the refresh rate is disappointingly low, despite being set to 120Hz on the laptop.

    • @SamB-rk9qb
      @SamB-rk9qb Před 11 měsíci

      This is because the laptop HDMI port is 2.0, try using HDMI 2.1 to Thunderbolt 4 cable and plug it, also dont forget to disable GSync so you dont have black screens , you can use 4k 120hz, 10 bit. Also you might need to manually change the colour dept to 10 bits. I had same issue.
      edit: Actually C2 has 48gb bandwitch so you might be ok with Gsync. If you experience flickers or black screens disable it.
      Don't forget to change the HDMI input on the TV to be recognised as a PC, it will reduce the input lag even further and make your experience even smoother.
