I'm still rockin the first gen. 48" CX. Many hours gaming and web browsing. Still no signs of any burn in. Picture is still amazing!
That’s a nice TV! Solid picture quality. Thanks for watching
CX is actually a great TV dude even by today's standard. The CX is where they actually ironed out most of the problems the previous generations had
I can relate. I still got my cx 65"

Good Quality work! Keep doing great reviews and tech information
Appreciate you!
Dope video bro! Production is off the charts
Appreciate you my guy!
Dude, great review. Thanks alot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
hey man! you're the first person i've seen using a motorized stand for one of these. i bought my 55" CX refurb and motorized CO-Z stand(wheeled version) 2 years ago now and have been so so happy with the setup. For 4k gaming, a big 16:9 OLED is the best upgrade.
edit: oops i clicked the link and realize now it is not a motorized one... ah, alas i am alone once again!! XD XD
your gaming room is so sick!!!!
Excelente y conciso review, thx !
🙏🏾
I have a s95b, a beautiful experience. Oled is a game changer. Considering one for my office/gaming room.
Going to pull the trigger on the 48" over the 42" only because my desk depth is 39 inches, then mounting two vertical 27 inch monitors on both sides of it for my static images/discord/ webpages I tend to keep paused for reference
Your set up is 👌🏻
Appreciate that
uh you deserve a Million! love your review!
Appreciate you 💯
I love my o2 LG oled 65 inch TV had it for 2 years feels like your at a movie theater
got the same TV, my mom didn't let me get a bigger one, I think it's great, size ok to me. I had a plasma TV before and this blows it away, but plasma is good too.
Still got my 65 c1 I love it
Love your setup
Thanks 🙏🏾
great review! picking up this tv in a couple of hours
Nice what size you get?
@@CKidM 48 inch
I am with you about the software. Even though I never a LG.
great video thx, is there a big difference between the C2 and the C3?
I love this tv. And your lights. Where dis you buy Theese lamps? Greetings from sweden
Lots of people still have electronics that need composite and component hook ups..Would be nice if they still added those to tv's..
I have lg c2 ,I love it
Definitely one of the best piece of tech I own
Thanks for the review! Definitely helpful and I'm officially a subscriber now. Have you had any issues with wi-fi connectivity? I've seen some people complain about dropped connections
Appreciate it. I haven't had any issues with the wi-fi connections with my TV and I've had it over a year.
@@CKidM ok great! We just ordered ours last night. Can’t wait for it to get here!
2k hrs in, using my 42c2 for work and play as it is my main display of my PC, and still no signs of burn in or any problems.
an what about now? 10 months later.
My CX still like brand new no issues, but my Kids using it so i purchased Qn90a almost as good of oled just more brighter.
I thought I was the only person who ever bought a 48" TV. It was a Samsung that developed a 2" purple spot in the upper left quadrant of the screen. My son has it,it's still working fine, just a purple spot.
To me the 48” is the perfect size.
Love the wallpaper, where did you get it?
You mean the one on my phone?
Subscribed. I've been looking around for a new TV either Samsung or LG for my Series X and this vid been really helpful. Been reading some scary stuff about new tvs and to spend that kind of $ for something that might break soon makes you think.
Buy and forget man. No issues with the LG CX. I previously owned the CX for 2 years and it never missed a beat. Worth every dollar. Especially for gaming.
Glad I was able to help. And yea trust me I know about being hesitant on spending that kind of money. Because I did on the Aorus OLED TV and it was a let down. But for a fact the LG C2 is one of the best TVs/monitors out at its price point.
Curious do you turn your oled light down for gaming and hdr?
Also how many hours would you say you have had cod on there?
Worried about hud burn in
setup is litty🔥🔥🔥🔥#Room21
Appreciate you
Sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch stay safe and blessed ty for sharing
Appreciate you fam!
I have the 42inch and not going back to a regular monitor lol. The 48 inch was too big for me.
I've had this since March I've never loved a tv this much this is perfect for the average gamer/tv watcher

Very nice review. Personally I don't care about the operating system as I love my nVidia Shield.
I feel that.
Nice video been looking at this TV for a while. Where is the link for the HDMI cable you mentioned in the video?
Thanks. Forgot to put that there...here you go geni.us/4khdmicable
@@CKidM thanks!!
@@frankcastle6298 for sure
Hey Ty for the vid! Just one thing...do you use the memory optimiser regularly? that helps dump some of the cached stuff that can slow it down, also...what's your internet speed? I went from a slow provider to 900mbps and have never had any probs after that....Just a thought. (in uk btw if that makes an internet diff to the states?) Also subbed
No I haven’t used memory optimizer but I’m definitely going to look into it for sure. Thanks for the tip. In regards to internet. I have 1gb internet so the internet is good. But it could be the cache. I will definitely research that more. Appreciate the sub welcome to the squad!
@@CKidM hey thanks for the reply, yeah could be something else then. The new models for this year you'll be pleased to know have only two pages of stuff in the home screen....proper slimmed it down.
@@Takeme_DCUO thank god 😂
Thanks the review, I appreciate it. I was looking between this one and the Samsung QN90B. Looks like this is the better way to go. The only real minus would be between the two on is a 50" and the other a 48". What's the latency like gaming wise?
Nether really have any input lag at all
I have the LG CX and I bought the C2 hoping things had been improved, but it was very similar to the CX. So I sent it back and got a QN90B and my honest opinion is that it's better than the CX or C2 in the ways that matter to me.
Color reproduction is much better on the QN90B. I've never liked the kind of colors WRGB OLEDs put out. The QN90B, on the other hand, has colors that look thick, rich and pure, similar to the colors on my high end plasmas.
Motion is another area that is super important to me and the QN90B has fantastic motion. It uses pulse width modulation and this clarifies motion somewhat and helps motion feel more alive to me. The CX and C2 have sample and hold motion that feels lifeless. It feels both choppier and more blurry. But it's when using black frame insertion that the QN90B really pulls ahead. The motion is super clear and smooth, which is a combination I've mainly experienced on CRTs. The C2 isn't as clear in motion and it's not as smooth, while the CX is similarly clear as the QN90B but not as smooth. And neither the CX nor the C2 are anywhere near as colorful and vibrant while using black frame insertion. The CX gets extremely dim, dull and desaturated while using BFI. The C2 is somewhat better, but still nowhere on the level of the QN90B.
So, motion and color are superior on the QN90B. Black levels look essentially indistinguishable from the CX and C2 in my viewing environment. But the QN90B has much better shadow detail and has higher perceived contrast. This is because black levels look equally dark between the three TVs, but the QN90B is much brighter.
Now, if you like to watch your TV off at a side angle or will have others watching from side angles, especially if you want to watch with the lights completely off, I would say the QN90B won't be the best option. At least not the 50 inch version I own.
I say the colors look more similar to plasmas. But I should clarify that plasmas still have better color reproduction overall.
In my opinion, for colors it goes like this:
Plasma/CRT > QLED/QD-OLED > WRGB OLED
@@cyberedge881hahahahahahahqh nahhhh KING OLED > TRASH qled
which stand are you using please advice
Purchased the 42 inch. I was going to buy the 48 since the price is similar, but idk for my small home office/gaming space felt like it would be way to big 🤣 idk if I'll regret it, guess when my 65 living room LED dies out I'll just buy a larger OLED for in there 😆
How is it? I'm so confused on getting the 48 for my drawer stand to watch and play ps5 or a 42' to use it as a monitor... I don't think I can handle it being that close to my eyes
@@FunKaYxxD1sCO I like it, glad I went with the 42. The 48 would definitely be way to big for the space I'm using the 42 in. I'm strictly using it as a gaming/entertainment monitor. I have an ultra wide widescreen monitor if I wanna use my laptop on a bigger screen, but personally I'd be able to use the 42 as a workstation as well, just cause I've used a 46+ LCD tv in the past as a computer monitor lol.
@@DjKamiKaze09 how deep is your desk? Mine is 27' and its way to close. I think I need a 35+
@@FunKaYxxD1sCO my desk is only 19 1/2 inches in depth. My Widescreen monitor is wall mounted, and this TV is pretty slim where you can push it up against the wall pretty well. I also have enough room to sit comfortably away from the TV when I game or watch something.
Never understood why the 42" is more expensive than 48" on BestBuy. Am I missing somethign here?
The 48” is 680 at Costco right now, really thinking about pulling the trigger on that tv. It’s 890 everywhere else at the moment
Damn for $680 that’s a crazy steal go for it
Steal
@@Deytookourjurrrs I ended up getting a new one for like 200 less. The one for that sale price at Costco was the display one
Just upgraded to the lg c2 evo crazy gaming experience i had a Emerson LED tv 😂
Welcome to the OLED squad!
I still use an emerson tv lmao. I think this tv will be an insane upgrade
FYI the 42" and 48" are also not as bright as the larger C2 models.
These are really meant to be more for gaming than being a TV. Still, they are awesome TVs.
Of course, I would be hooking up a Roku, AppleTV, or Chromecast w/ Google TV to this computer. I hate WebOS with the fiery passion of 10,000 suns.
I disagree they are firstly a TV made for watching content and then gaming. The smaller sizes get a little less bright indeed , but it is still amazing for tv viewing. The brightness difference isn’t that big between the bigger size and smaller size. If I had to say it’s like around 10%?
I think this tv will be king for a while. I was thinking of the 48 in but now im thinking screw it go for the 83" and move my tv to the kids room
Have the 65" c2. I love it. I'm at like 800hrs. No issues. I hate the remote tho. Way to clicky and bulky.
Yea I wish the remote was slimmer
Is it possible for me to connect my laptop to the 48” C2 wirelessly? Kind of like chrome cast, but for gaming as well?
@@ShiaFighter4Life yeah I think so
Have a 77 c2 debating getting this for gaming. I assume it's the same just smaller
What type of TV mount do you have there brother-man? I'd like to have one similar to that; is it hard to install? Also I'm pretty surprised at how big the 48" looks in a medium sized room. I thought it would look a lot smaller.
All links are posted in the description
Nice vid brother. Im in an ambient front room so looking at the G3 because I think the colours look too strong on the qd oleds.
I watch mostly 1080p hd stuff tho dude so how is the upscaling on this tv? Thanks man
Thanks appreciate you. I think the G3 is another solid option, but before you pull the trigger on that I’d look into the C3 if you planning to spend that much on the G3. The 1080 up scaling on the C2 is really good and when you pair that with the richness of the deep black levels being more contrasts it helps make the picture quality solid. Either way if you go with the G3, C2 (which I think is a better value and will save you money) or the C3 you will be happy.
@@CKidM Thankyou my man
@@sj460162 for sure bro!
What is best for xbox series x? Samsung G7 mini led 43 inch monitor or LG C3 42 inch TV?
What app is that you were using to control the tv in the beginning of vid.
I didn't watch the video but I came here to say I have the c2 42 inch and YES it is the right choice for PC and PS5.
I have 3800 hours on my 42" C2. still in perfect condition
I see you got some hours in over there. Can’t wait to check out this C3. Should be arriving soon
Very nice video. Has anyone told you, you look like Camron lol
Naw that's a new one...but Dipset...Dipset...Dipset lol
hai.. i have LG C2 42', i want ask you using HGIG or DTM ON playing game ?
Is the c2 better than xk85? The c2 isn't much more expensive now.
I was looking at the LG. Had one years ago but hated the UI and had horrible remote. Still looks like not much has changed. This is main reason I bought my Samsung S95B. I'm looking for another TV for my downstairs lounge. I'm looking to be swayed but really like my Samsung so looking around and hoping prices come down a little more. Not made my mind up yet. I have PS5 but have subscribed to the xbox game pass so that would be another plus for getting another Samsung. Add to that the PIP they have which is very handy. Maybe someone else can point to any extra features on LG models that might impress me.
Love my C2 48 inch makes up for the lack of features of my ps5 like being able to Google with my voice and the results pop up in the top corner of the screen so I can Google while I play!
120hz is a game changer! Going back to 60 feels like playing on a ps2 with a dirty disc!
Only problem is the controller has certain buttons for quick launching apps and the ones I don't use download the app everytime I press them by mistake! Would be nice if I was able to remap them
Why is my 42' C2 look so different from your 48'? I don't have that thin back at the top. Mine is like 80% back area bulked up with circuitry. I can't fix screen tube light on top cuz of it. You have half the ports at back while mine is entirely on the side.
Quick question I bought a 55 inch C2 display model from PC Richards for $1,504 with the 5 year warranty but it had 3,973 total power on time do u think I should take it back in get a new 1 he telling me I would have to pay the difference which is $152 to get a new one if not he would give me $100 back what you think I should do
Did you get the c3 in 48 inches?
Will LG upgrade to QSM with this C1 OLED?
I like the desk lights bro, what are they?
I broke it all down in this video here th-cam.com/video/5v8y3XD3tN0/w-d-xo.html
Bro I need your opinion about this problem that I have 🙏 I recently bought the lg c2 and I watch the movies directly from the apps but when I use the hdmi inputs the brightness is less! (Dolby vision) I have the fire tv stick max and the movies shine less! even using the same image settings. The other is the game mode (HDR) that the image is bright at times and at another automatically lowers the brightness. I have both hdmi inputs in 4k and I turn off the energy saving. Do you think it's a problem with the tv or that loss of brightness that all c2 models have?
Brother turn off auto dimming
If your hdmi cable is 2.1 certified it’ll give exactly the same performance cheap or not.
Mine came with 7 dead pixels. I'll need to suffer through the return procedure now.
where are the links to hdmi cables
love this tv, its the dopest. Pair it with a 4090 and you flying.
you mentioned info about good hdmi 2.1 cables? What should i get? Can they be over 3 m long?
I linked an HDMI cable in the pinned comment that I recommend.
What's the app he uses at the start of the video that lets him use various remotes from his phone?
It’s called LG Remote
what app are you using on your phone to choose remote?
It's called LG Remote in the app store.
I had a high-end LG OLED TV ($5000 retail) and days after the warranty ran out I was noticing some burn-in. Called them to see if they would do anything and they had me send a picture and the guy says "Yeah that's burn-in, shouldn't be happening, we will call you back within 3 days to schedule repair/replacement". Sounded good to me but I waited 5 days and no call so I called them to find they decided not to do anything. Terrible customer service and yeah, while the TV worked as it should it was great looking but after that no more LG or OLED forever for me. Now have a QLED that equals or surpasses the OLED except for the viewing angle, but it's nothing that matters cause I have no seating at extreme angles. Good luck with your LG.
What hdmi 2.1 cables are you using? Link?

My 48c2 doesn't have an option to see how long it's been on for. I'm in europe
what phone app are you using for the remote for tv there was a couple of remotes on that app it looked sweet?
Thanks. It’s called LG Remote. It’s a solid app.
Ty so much I'll add it
Pro-tip: I own a C2 77" and a 48" and I use the Roku Ultra on both TVs, and it makes the #2 and #3 issues you are talking about completely go away.
I actually really like the Roku as well as it’s app for the remote. Really sweet
Gonna look into this...I use an Nvdia Shield.
Btw, do you think the 48” is big enough for a living room? I’m considering returning my TCL r655 in 55” for the C2 in 48”
@@mr_red13 I use the 48" for the most part as a gaming monitor for my Xbox Series X and my PC, so I am sitting about 4 feet away from it. My honest opinion would be that a 48" would be too small for most living rooms.
@@CKidM Love the shield, great all around device and perfect for a retro emulation gaming machine.
Do the streaming apps in it support dolby atmos? Planning to get one to eARC it to ht a9
If the app/movie you're watching offers Dolby Atmos then it will get supported.
How close do you sit from your LG C2 42in ???
I don't sit that close to my monitor...I would say about 6-7 feet back. I was only sitting close in the video for filming reasons.

Correction:
The 42 and 48 inch models have the old panel.
The 55 and up have the newer one which allows them to have a higher peak brightness.
However the key word is "peak" so unless you plan on pushing the settings up to make it as bright as possible then this won't be a huge issue
Entirely depends on the manufacture date. If 42 and 48 inch versions have a manufacture date past the 2nd quarter from the release date they started to get released with the newer panel. I have the 42 c2 and it has the newer EX panel. You can check this in the service menu. for the 42 inch if it says version 08/00/1/03 that's the newer OLED EX panel, for the 48inch 08/50/1/03, if its the older WBC panel it will say 00/00/1/03. LG just limited the brightness on the smaller size models under 55"
@@thomasoates9215hey what about module 08/40?
Hey there..is combatible with g-sync for pc gamers like me??
Yep it is. And premium free-sync
How does it handle lower resolution content?
Especially sdr gaming
I use my LG G2 83 oled as my monitor, burn in hasn't been a thing for years. The majority of America uses coax to connect to antenna or boxes. C3 is out now and I ordered the 77" G3 for the mla panel and it was was only 4600
At best buy they have the LG c2 42, and 48 inch listed at $899.
Both new and made the same year.
Is the 42 better? I hear the 48" has a different panel.
The 42 in my opinion is better for people who want to use it mainly as a desktop monitor and for console or PC gaming. But when you step into the 48 inch and up I think it's geared for people who want to use it for console gaming and for watching TV content. Just my .02
@@CKidM thanks for this! I’ve been in a toss up between the two especially since the 48 has been cheaper lately. My primary use will be for PC work and gaming, console gaming second. I’ve already got a 65” Sony for movies and tv, so the 42 it is

It's time to upgrade, bruh burn in and auto dimming is annoying af plus you have to buy a special service remote thing that will void your warranty to even disable the auto dimming
I haven’t had any burn in. Have you?
No burn in on newer models. That’s a thing of the past. Nothing compares to LG OLED 👌

@@MrDRose2u I would say wait until the C3 comes out. That way you can make the better decision. But I will be getting the c3 in house.

@@CKidM i burned my B6 this was an older LG Oled.
I wish SDR gaming was talked about for example with consoles like the Switch and even the PS3 or games that don't have hdr. There's a Con there from what Im hearing from the community.
For me I only play PS5 games and Switch but mostly handheld with the Switch. So I'm not the best at talking about PS3 games on this channel.
@@CKidM How do you find the Switch on LG oled vs Samsung QD-OLED tv since Nintendo doesn't do HDR. Idk why LG is still greying out Peak brightness for sdr gaming at this point. Thank you for replying 😎.
