Great video and explanation of why you prefer your PC monitor over the C1 however for me PC gaming never completely satisfied me until I switched from my 27" PC gaming monitor to the 48" C1 as a PC monitor...now my PC gaming experience is like my console gaming experience but without having to choose between fidelity mode vs performance mode. I love gaming on the C1 so much...it reminds me of my 10 year old 64" Samsung plasma but with better specs. 3 years ago I had switched my console gaming from the plasma to a 64" 4k HDR LED however now I moved both my PS5 and switch dock from the TV room to my desk, so all my gaming is in one location. Sitting closer to the 48" C1 (in addition to it's superior picture quality and specs) makes up for going from a 65" TV to a 48" TV... I point that out because screen size was the motivating factor why I switched from a 27" PC gaming monitor to a 48" TV used as a PC monitor, so it sounds as if I am contradicting myself by going from a 65" to a 48" TV.
I just wanted to say that I love this channel! Keep up the great content! 👍 I recently purchased the 77" LG C1 OLED and it's amazing! Around the same time, I also bought the Samsung G7 gaming monitor, which I returned and replaced with the 48" LG C1 OLED. I prefer to game at my desk on the 48" and watch TV shows/movies on the 77". Thanks for helping me decide to upgrade to the LG C1 OLED TV's. I have no regrets 😌.
Been using the 42 inch C2 for a few days, I use it as a tv but it's amazing regardless. It's my first OLED tv and I'm glad I bought. The picture quality is amazing and everything looks smooth.
I bought a 65" LG B8 a few years back, similar to the C8/C9. It has been AMAZING. No burn-in, and a fantastic image that will pull you in like no other. I'll never have anything other than LG OLED. I would love to have a new C2...But I just can't make sense of it with the B8 still working great. Go LG OLED...you won't regret it. ESPECIALLY as a gamer.
I haven’t even watched this video yet, I am still on the ad page and paused the ad to write this. THIS video is EXACTLY what I needed. I came to TH-cam to find some comparisons of these exact two displays because I own the GP950 currently and love it but have wanted to play some story mode games with a little bit bigger of a display and I also want to know if the GP950 has bad brightness issues or what not. Whenever I play red dead on it, when it becomes night time I feel like I can’t see squat on my screen! I want to know if that’s a game issue or my display’s issue. Anyways, can’t wait to watch this video. It’s literally the exact video I came to find today and it just popped up on my discover page first thing! Love you man!
That's awesome, thank you. I know the issue you mean, that's the black/contrast levels. Any dark scenes are a struggle on the GP950. If you want story driven and better quality, the C2 will blow you away. But the GP950 is very, very good.
@@SpawnPoiint thank you for the reply, this helps me a lot! I finished the video and I fall where you do! I really enjoy story mode games but I am heavier into FPS games and I need that smaller sized monitor. That’s great to know about the black light issues on the gp950. I have loved this monitor but this was the first time I have seen it struggle and it made me question it. This video was excellent! Keep up the awesome videos!
@@mashal4826 If you only play story line games and do not care about FPS games…the GP950 will do great without a doubt and perform amazingly but that 42” C2 OLED will be an even better experience all around and be more immersive. But it’s all about what you prefer, if you like a smaller display then the GP950 is perfect!
Wow thank you for the comparison between 27" and 42", I'm looking to upgrade from 27 and this is really helpful. This does make me realize 42" is still kinda big for my small room, and I should opt for 32" or 34" instead.
Your videos are absolutely fantastic man, you are my go to guy for tech. I too have the LG27GP950 and the LG C2 42” and seeing them compared and contrasted like this is the perfect video for me. I’m loving the C2 and that’s what I have for my desk setup it’s amazing.
After watching several videos of yours, I bought LG C2 42" 2 days back. To be honest I am using it with my Legion 5 pro. I have never been happier. This is probably the best purchase I made this year. :) Your videos helped a lot as well. I am planning to get ps5 by the end of the year so that serves the purpose of gaming as well.
FYI a lot of games will let you move the UI elements closer to the center of the screen, just in case you weren't aware. You can typically do so by "adjusting the safe zone" in the settings or something similar. I think it is meant to compensate for overscan on old TVs, which is why it is called that. But it effectively just moves the UI elements closer to the center. Some games allow you to move it closer than others, but it is always worth doing if you find yourself struggling to see the UI. Also other games might just have straight up UI adjustment settings, either way, always worth looking through the settings.
Great video and break down of the pros and cons of the C1 TV vs the LG UltraGear PC monitor and why you personally prefer the PC gaming monitor over the C1 TV. 2 months ago I switched from a MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD 27" 1440p IPS 165Hz gaming monitor to a 48" C1 TV and I love it!!! My PC gaming experience is now like console gaming but without having to choose between fidelity mode vs performance. I do not play multiplayer so 120 fps is enough for me...what I love about the C1 are the size and quality of the picture. I love gaming on the C1 so much that I moved both my PS5 and switch dock from my 65" 4k HDR LED in the tv room to my desk, so now all my gaming is in one location. btw - I use a very large harvest dining room table as my desk so I have plenty of space for such a large monitor.
I have a C2. It needs to be mounted flat on the wall really, Also, my desk is about 60cm deep. But for me, it's perfect. It's just so beautiful. My 4k monitor with HDR looks nowhere near as good as this screen. Also, that display was 144hz and this is 120hz. I don't know how or why, but the frame rates are just so much smoother. Maybe thats a HDMI 2.1 vs Display Port thing... Those blacks do ALOT for image quality/clarity. I completely understand those who think it's too big though. It won't be to everyone's taste. But if you feel like you would enjoy this, you will most definitely not be disappointed.
I have been using the LG 42" C2 as a PC/Console gaming monitor since launch day. I absolutely love it. It's great for games and music and also has an eARC socket so i can hook it up to my soundbar for Dolby Atmos audio. That is a feature that all regular monitors sadly lack.
@@simoskwnstantinou9127 Graphics card has to have hdmi 2.1 like Nvidias 30 series cards and AMDs 6000 series cards. I'm running my C2 with a 6900xt but had to buy a hdmi 2.1 from Amazon to run 4K 120hz on the TV or else whatever GPU you're running or HDMI cord is 2.0/2.1 will determine if your 4K/60hz or 4K/120hz
I chose the 48" C1 as it's marked way down right now. Best decision I've ever made, and I've been flip flopping between screens for a couple years now. HDR gaming on these is out of this world, definitely feels next gen. Edit - I did wall mount it and its roughly 50" from my eyes which is the sweet spot. Would definitely not recommend for any distance closer than that
That's exactly what I did. The LG 48" C1 2021 model is about $900. After Nov 2022, the LG 42" C2 should be considerably marked down in price. And by that time, competitors will have their own OLED models out for XMAS.
@streamx3m If people buy OLED monitors with display ports, the manufacturers will notice. Buy XMAS; you should see a better selection of OLED monitors. That's a virtue of capitalism -it responds very quickly to consumer demand.
@streamx3m OLED's response time is much more quicker than LCD's, that's why 60 on the OLED feels smoother since OLEDs can switch to the next frame almost instantly
@streamx3m not in game mode. It's likely the pixel response time. 30hz is awful on OLED and playable on LCD . 60hz and above though is smoother on an OLED.
I've been using 43" 4K TVs as computer monitors since 2016. I think it's the sweet spot for 4K monitor use. My current TV is the Samsung Q60R 43". I tried the 43" QN90B, but fuzzy text and motion blur was a deal breaker. I'm now waiting for some reviews of the new Sony X85K 43". The LG 42" OLED is on my list, but I'm concerned about burn-in which ruined my 55" LG OLED a couple years ago. Great video, mate!!
The unspoken advantage with the C2 with PC is the ability to game in windowed/borderless windowed mode. Just game at 1440p windowed mode if fullscreen at 4k is too big. You'll also have extra screen real estate for other apps like browser and other utilities. You really can't do this with a tiny 27" 4k screen since it's too small!
I don't understand either why people never get this... If it weren't for the reflections I would have bought and mounted it to an arm ages ago - that way you can move it a bit closer for 4x21" productivity or fully extend the arm for sim games with desk-mounted joysticks while sitting further away or move it far back for 2K borderless (or fullscreen non-scaled/non-interpolated) FPS gaming... - owner of a 65" C9 and EIZO S-PVA monitors. Edit: You can also play ultrawide 32:9 (3840x1080) in the bottom and run Discord and OBS and whatever in the upper part ofc...
Using this very 42 inch LG screen at the moment and find it amazing for gaming and productivity to be honest. Add in the fact that its a very good TV in my home office when required and its an easy win over my previous monitor. No eye strain either I am glad to say
Another great video, I think that the new lg ultra gear 32gq950 might be perfect for you. Its slightly bigger than the gp950 and the new display tech which ive seen in person looks phenomenal. Plus the new design without the red legs and back looks stunning. I think that should def be one worth reviewing. Amazing job as always.
I’m also thinking about getting the new 32 ultra gear with the new purplish design finish. I think it looks stunning, however I would like the idea of a 27-inches version also.
@@kRiMAnz yeah 32 is okay for 1440p but 25-27 1440p looks extremely crisp. I hope lg keeps up like they did with the gp series and makes a 27inch 1440p version. They ha e a 27 1080p one but anything past 25 for 1080p looks prehistoric.
I like my 48in C1 for gaming more so than any other gaming monitor I have had. The instant responsiveness and true blacks are fantastic plus the 120hz. Plus it has both G-Sync and Freesync so I'm not limiting myself to only one brand of GPU anymore.
I've been using a 4k 40" Samsung TV as a monitor for about 3 years now and I completely agree with your assessment about playing FPS games on such a big TV. I will often end up running FPS games in window mode at 2560x1440 instead of full screen just so I can see everything.
@@mouzz Not really. As long as the desktop resolution used is the native resolution for the monitor, it's still a 1:1 pixel ratio in there window and looks fine. Newer games are taking wide monitors into account and often provide easy ways to adjust field of view which makes full screen work better on these large monitors.
Your videos always look and sound so clean and crispy! I’ve also been debating this, because I tried gaming on a 27 inch monitor, and while I liked it better for FPS games, but for single player games, it just ruined my experience compared to my OLED TV.
Been using a 55" LG 4K OLED for years as a monitor. Absolutely love it. Just watch out for burn in as I didn't take care of my TV so there is not much re-sale value.
@@MrJamieFRESH Use a screen saver and refresh the pixels in the settings regularily. Also use a disappearing task bar...thats the worse thing to burn in.
Thanks for a nice review. The key to succes doing FPS gaming on a TV like the C2 is to use a customer resolution and disable scalling so that it don't fill up the entire screen. Now, it will mean a bit lower resolution but no need to head turning to see that AWP guy hiding in Dust :) You can also use something like LG Companion to automatically wake the monitor and put it to sleep as the computer does the same thing. That also solves the problem of the remove turning on all LG TVs in the room.
I got the LG C2 48” in my bed room. I sit 2 meters away at a desk with keyboard n mouse and play MW2 & GT7 on PS5 also hooked up a Bose 900 Atmos soundbar. BLOWN AWAY EVERY TIME I TURN IT ALL ON!😍😍😍😍😍 Looking to get the gp950 27” for my bedroom desk at work!
Love each and every single one these videos. The setups you create are just amazing. The video production is so good! Love the content man. Keep it up!
I recently switched to a 42" C2 OLED from a three 27" monitor setup and I absolutely love it. It was on sale for $899 and I thought that was a great price for what would be a very large screen as compared to other PC monitors around the same size. The LG companion app you can find online helps to turn the TV into a monitor by allowing it to turn on and shut down when the PC does the same, as well as setting the screen to sleep after so many minutes of no mouse/keyboard/controller input.
Bought the GP950 earlier today so I can finally play PC games at better specs than 1080p60. I stumbled upon the C2 during my search for the optimal monitor, and thought it could be a great additional display for console gaming should I be able to afford one in the future. Glad to know I did choose a great monitor for desktop gaming, and that the C2 is indeed a magnificent OLED TV as shown by the specs :D
If you are going back to your 27" gp950, can I have your 43" C2 please?? Haha but seriously, great video! Your content is always on point. These types of comparisons are super helpful for dudes that change their setups all the time like me.
I got a 32" 1440p 165hz ips lg monitor that down samples 4k 60hz to 1440p and an LG CX 65" TV and I 100% prefer a monitor. Something about being close to the screen makes me way more into a game and look for the smaller details in them. For my setup 32" is a little to big and I'll probably go with a 27" when 4k 144hz monitors are more affordable. I honestly couldn't care less about the 4k part as I play everything in performance mode but I want vrr badly
Picked up a C2 a couple days ago. The quality of the picture is mind bogglingly fantastic. Absolutely blew my old 27in 1440 display away. In FPS gaming tho, it did seem too big. Ive started running a cropped resolution only during FPS gaming. That completely fixed my feeling of it being too big. Just feels like a huge ultrawide monitor while retaining all the OLED pros. Then I swap back to fullscreen for normal desktop use, media consumption, etc. My display also has a window about 10 feet directly behind it. Ive had blackout curtains for years that let zero light in when theyre closed and have no issues with glare. Cannot recommend this screen enough. To me it is an absolute must for any PC enthusiast.
I have an Xbox sx, would you recommend this tv?? I watch a lot of Netflix I also play single player games And Warzone ??? Will this tv be good enough to make me feel like I’m playing well
The thing with smaller screen is you can VESA mount it and literally move it closer to your eyes, and it'll take up more of your vision. So even 27" panel can get more "immersive" this way. A bigger screen on the other hand, requires you to have a bigger desk if you want it to look smaller. But assuming that screen size don't matter, well, OLED is the way to go. It's simply a superior tech overall.
You might get more eye strain that way though. The further away something is the less the muscles inside your eyeball have to stretch the lens in the front of your eye to focus it.
Fantastic review, so on point with everything. I know you know I own both the GP950 and the C2 42” like you. I love the C2 42”. Love the glossy OLED but I think I’m going back to the GP950 for gaming. I would give the tv to my kids but they don’t take care of their stuff. That’s way too much money for now they use their tv. I might return it to LG.
Yeah I had the same problem until I sat back and found the sweet spot and now its perfect. I actually marked the sweet spot with tape due to the fact the chair slid from usage.
Both. I run dual monitor setup, 32" Samsung G7 and will be adding the 42" in the coming week. Your advice was super valuable as I was struggling deciding between the 48" and the 42", and while I have the desk space for both, you're right, for those games I want on a "big TV" I'll go to my 65" OLED and couch. So 42" for the desk it is.
I just recently switch from a 50 inch tv to a 27 inch monitor and it’s a night an day difference and I gotta say I enjoy gaming on my monitor more for story games and FPS just feel so much smoother playing a on a monitor
Use a Gigabyte M32U here. 32", 4K@144htz over DP 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K@120hz, 1x DP 1.4 port and a USB-C port for my Mac, 32" is the sweet spot for me and this display has been awesome since I got it and now the PS5 has VRR this display is even better! Would recommend looking into it.
I have the new Alienware Aw3423dw QD Oled but lack of UW support is some of my fav games is a bummer. As soon as they make a 27in to 32in 16:9 Oled monitor i will grab that instantly.
My gaming station is in my room. It replaced my TV which I put downstairs. That being said my monitor also has to function as my TV. So obviously I chose the LG Oled and haven't been disappointed
Great video! I'm torn as just like you I've always preferred playing on a monitor. I currently have a Predator X27P which is fantastic for PC but I've switched over to console so want to replace this with an HDMI 2.1 monitor. I was very interested in the Eve Spectrum as I like the fact it doesn't scream gaming monitor but you only have to read the endless complaints in their forums about delays to shipping which has put me off. Heart says 42 as nothing comes close to OLED but have a feeling I would regret the bigger size.
@@SpawnPoiint Hello mate, thought I would give you a quick update. I picked up a 42 C2 last week but it’s going back. Superb tv but pretty poor as a monitor. Found it quite dark and as I use dark mode the ABL would constantly kick in when I was composing emails which annoyed me. Text was also not very sharp. I have a GP950 arriving tomorrow 👍
Found another Rebirth lover. Best game-mode in years, much more like multiplayer but yet has the competitiveness of a traditional BR. Surprised more games haven't tried that concept yet. One thing I would suggest if you get your hands on a HDMI 2.1 PC and try gaming on the C2 with the 21:9 mode for competitive gaming. punching in at eye level would make for a comparable size to the 27" while adding a bit more FOV.
@Garrus Vakarian yeah definitely, or see if there was a 1:1 pixel mapping and just use a custom res. OLED opens up multiple possibilities cause of the self-emissive pixels
Now this is the video I wanted to see. Hard to find a good size relativity video, though my decision is between 42" and 48" OLED... I think 45" would be perfect but I'm going with 42". It will just be sitting on my dresser using PS5. Thanks!
@@goshmain982 Well, I have a 27" at the moment and I can definitely see a 32" be the perfect fit for 4K. Anything smaller then that is fine but is not going to give you the max effect
I totally agree about the relevance of the kind of games you play. I've tested many monitors for my PC setup, and ended buying a 48 C1. I have a pretty big desk, and got my C1 wall mounted, so distances are not really an issue. After all this monitors, and being able to confirm that (i) I don't play online very often and (ii) I play mostly RPG, racing, fighting and story driven games, the 48" C1 became the "forever monitor". And if I want to play on the couch, I go to my 55" C1. With that TV setup I can move my consoles from my living to my desk and back. I am now convinced that my "forever monitor" is not gonna be there forever, but only until the 42" C2 arrives to my country, but has been a superior partner. Great review and approach mate. Keep it up!
I used the 48 inch C1 and got used to it. Tried going back to a 34 inch and just had to go back to 48 inch. Just feels more immersive especially sitting so close to it.
I completely agree, 38" 16:9 TV has the exact same width as 34" 21:9 and it would have pixel density of 116 (ultrawide has 109 PPI).Sitting on a classic 80cm desk depzh... It would be perfect monitor/TV.
Thanks a lot for these videos. I'm in the US and are not yet available, but love to get an idea of what to expect in terms of size. So again, thanks for these!
I am using a 4K 32'' curved Samsung monitor. Don't want anything smaller or bigger, it's absolutely perfect. If my 32'' monitor was not curved, most probably would have gone for a 27'' monitor.
I'm still debating on on the C2 42". I have a desk depth of 42" and currently using the 38" Alienware Ultrawide. Was thinking 32'" Monitor or C2 42" as 2nd display for gaming or movies. Desk Size is 72"x42". C2 looking like a winner right now.
@@whitegoodman7465 actually it was an island countertop haha. Good thing my office is huge and my set up needs the space so it’s not cramped. Worked out perfectly. Comfortable sitting distance while maximizing space and productivity. No one wants to sit 2ft in front of a 42in screen.
I have a 24" monitor and already looks big.. the c2 would be too big and i would have to rotate my head around losing all the focus. My actual monitor has a 1080p tn panel so i think the gp950 will be more than enough for me. I don't mind oled for a gaming monitor and the reflections for me are a big point so i'll go for it without regrets. Ips vs oled differences are always the same and not a news anymore. Nice video tho, complete in all its parts well put together 👍🏼
Thanks for the video. But I think a better comparison against the OLED TV would be the LG Ultragear 32GQ950. A 32” version of basically the same monitor you compared. But thanks again.
Thanks for the suggestion. 42" is just too big for me. Spawnpoiint reviewed that monitor a few weeks ago, I'm watching his review now. Looks like the price is the same as the C2.
This comparison is exactly the same situation I have. The Aorus 43" 4K 144hz monitor is excellent yet despite how good it is I prefer my LG 27" 4K 60hz monitor as I mostly play FPS games. So the 43" Aorus is going in the living room and it looks perfect here 💯
I have the aorus fv43 currently for my pc console set up. I love this monitor but have been heavily debating switching it to the lg 42 c2. I absolutely love oleds and it being and inch smaller and the all around frame being smaller I might pull the trigger. I have a wide and very deep desk and use controller 80 percent of the time. I'm surprised you play fps titles at 60fps and not higher. It's hard for me to play fps at anything below like 90 but 60 is perfect for everything else. I might sell the aorus and scoop up the lg in the fall sales. I just love the contrast and clarity of oled but the qled panel in the aorus is damn good and doesn't get enough credit. Even has a remote so I don't have to fiddle with the knob.
In my opinion, the closer you sit to the 42" and larger monitors, I can see having to look from side to side, the larger the monitor the further you'll need to sit back from them. I have one of my gaming PCs hooked up to a 65" LG OLED first gen as I got it when they first hit the shelves, sitting back 10' from it makes it perfect. I am currently putting together a sim-rig in which will have 3 42" LG OLED C2 monitors also as to why I am here, I wanted to see others opinions on these monitors as I have not yet unboxed them. Another thing to keep in mind, when choosing large monitor, when it comes to a wide screen monitor, they are normally vertically challenged meaning their screen is not as tall as the normal monitors and some might want that taller screen so their eyes don't wonder off looking above the monitor.
I went today to check out the c2 , couldnt believe people were complaining that its not too bright and the glossy reflections are ean issue. Best buy was fully iluminated with strong lights everywhere and It was definetevle superior to almost all the samsungs and htcs next to them! Im on the fence over this over the alienware at 1440p-4k is nice and I couldnt see pixels anywhere even at close up.
i switch from that lg 27 inch 144 hz to the lg c1 48 inch (960 pounds compared to 1400 pounds for the c2 42 inch not worth the extra 44o pounds for a smaller one lol ) so far i think that the c1 48 inch lg is amayzing for a gaming monitor , not to mention movies looks amayzing so do games cuz of the freesync(run it on 6900xt card amd) no tearing nothing , is perfect
If you have a 77" TV in the same room it's a no brainer. BUT during Black Friday Week you can get a 42" LG C3 OLED for 915€ (around $1,000). Same price as some high end monitors. Personally I'd probably going to check that C3 for gaming on my PC
issue with the "side by side" or rather front (27) and back (42), is that the 27" is alot closer to the camera due to its stand, so the percieved size difference looks very small. "response time is near instant on both" the gp950 has a total response of 7.5ms whereas the LG has 2.3ms, and thats at 40hz lower.
not all use cases are the same.. i only use my computer for media consumption.. movie watching, tv shows, youtube.. web browsing, any social media, and gaming. I originally used a 65" plasma for movies.. and a 30" dell ips monitor.. then i wanted to go bigger as i started doing more of my movie watching on my 30" dell/computer setup.. thought i should go bigger. so i bought a sony 43" lcd (60hz model) and was pretty happy as it was 4k ..i eventually stepped up to a 48" lg oled and will never go back to smaller
YOU ARE THE BOSS AT COMPARISONS 😍 I absolutely love these kind of videos from you. Perfect need-to-know content. I would go for the 27 Inch since it's kind of cheaper, plus I would like to use it mainly for competitive gaming not for RPGs and no screen burn-in. If I had the money I'd buy both obviously😂 Love your vids brother 🔥
I find my 32 inch curved Dell to be a perfect size. Having a 42 inch up close will just cause too much eye strain down the line. But that 42 lg has some nice quality
Greetings from Brazil! I really like your videos! I'm new here on TH-cam and I get a lot of inspiration from your channel! Congratulations for the excellent job!
Awesome video! I recently upgraded from a 27” to 32” monitor and I can say that at the beginning it felt too big but as weeks went by, 32” is the perfect sweet spot. It’s a shame that LG’s OLED monitor is crazy bunkers expensive but is not intended for gaming. Hopefully there’s an upgraded Ultra Gear OLED soon down the road.
Hope you enjoyed today's video. Which would you pick for gaming? 42", 27" or something else?
42 inch any time of the day 😌
I would pick up a Philips OLED with ambilight.
42
42 for sure and wich i have lg c2
Great video and explanation of why you prefer your PC monitor over the C1 however for me PC gaming never completely satisfied me until I switched from my 27" PC gaming monitor to the 48" C1 as a PC monitor...now my PC gaming experience is like my console gaming experience but without having to choose between fidelity mode vs performance mode.
I love gaming on the C1 so much...it reminds me of my 10 year old 64" Samsung plasma but with better specs.
3 years ago I had switched my console gaming from the plasma to a 64" 4k HDR LED however now I moved both my PS5 and switch dock from the TV room to my desk, so all my gaming is in one location.
Sitting closer to the 48" C1 (in addition to it's superior picture quality and specs) makes up for going from a 65" TV to a 48" TV...
I point that out because screen size was the motivating factor why I switched from a 27" PC gaming monitor to a 48" TV used as a PC monitor, so it sounds as if I am contradicting myself by going from a 65" to a 48" TV.
I wish LG would release a 32” 4K OLED TV.
Yep, that's what I want too.
For me i prefer a 42 because i use it for both movies and gaming and a 32 inch is to small for movies and for now i can’t buy another more big tv.
@@juanfonseca31
STFU… And go buy yourself the 42” model that’s available!
@@juanfonseca31 good point . I found this tv for £950 I might buy it
@@SpawnPoiint do you think the height of the monitor in portrait mode is the same as the tv's in landscape mode?
I just wanted to say that I love this channel! Keep up the great content! 👍
I recently purchased the 77" LG C1 OLED and it's amazing! Around the same time, I also bought the Samsung G7 gaming monitor, which I returned and replaced with the 48" LG C1 OLED. I prefer to game at my desk on the 48" and watch TV shows/movies on the 77". Thanks for helping me decide to upgrade to the LG C1 OLED TV's. I have no regrets 😌.
Oh wow thank you. Great choice too!
did the same today , i get the c1 48 inch , looks amayzing paired with pc ,the old 27 inch gonna get dusty in the corner
@@deadscene1 Yeah, the Samsung monitor was nice, but it doesn't compare to the OLED. My PS5, Series X, and Switch look amazing on both TV's
@@SpawnPoiint can you bring down the screen area to 1440p 27 inches at the middle bottom side of the screen? it would be perfect for fps too :)
@@aj425074 lol? All hate Samsung Monitors because of ton of issue and nobody will happy with them and they monitor life is short .
Been using the 42 inch C2 for a few days, I use it as a tv but it's amazing regardless. It's my first OLED tv and I'm glad I bought. The picture quality is amazing and everything looks smooth.
Great choice, the C2 looks incredible!
I bought a 65" LG B8 a few years back, similar to the C8/C9. It has been AMAZING. No burn-in, and a fantastic image that will pull you in like no other. I'll never have anything other than LG OLED. I would love to have a new C2...But I just can't make sense of it with the B8 still working great. Go LG OLED...you won't regret it. ESPECIALLY as a gamer.
I haven’t even watched this video yet, I am still on the ad page and paused the ad to write this. THIS video is EXACTLY what I needed. I came to TH-cam to find some comparisons of these exact two displays because I own the GP950 currently and love it but have wanted to play some story mode games with a little bit bigger of a display and I also want to know if the GP950 has bad brightness issues or what not. Whenever I play red dead on it, when it becomes night time I feel like I can’t see squat on my screen! I want to know if that’s a game issue or my display’s issue. Anyways, can’t wait to watch this video. It’s literally the exact video I came to find today and it just popped up on my discover page first thing! Love you man!
That's awesome, thank you. I know the issue you mean, that's the black/contrast levels. Any dark scenes are a struggle on the GP950. If you want story driven and better quality, the C2 will blow you away. But the GP950 is very, very good.
Is the Gp950 still good enough for storyline games? I'm planning to get the monitor, and I only play storyline games.
@@SpawnPoiint thank you for the reply, this helps me a lot! I finished the video and I fall where you do! I really enjoy story mode games but I am heavier into FPS games and I need that smaller sized monitor. That’s great to know about the black light issues on the gp950. I have loved this monitor but this was the first time I have seen it struggle and it made me question it. This video was excellent! Keep up the awesome videos!
@@mashal4826 If you only play story line games and do not care about FPS games…the GP950 will do great without a doubt and perform amazingly but that 42” C2 OLED will be an even better experience all around and be more immersive. But it’s all about what you prefer, if you like a smaller display then the GP950 is perfect!
Perfect thumbnail ! A 27" vs 42" super imposed comparison on a +/120 cm desk. EXACTLY what I wanted to see! Thank you :)
Wow thank you for the comparison between 27" and 42", I'm looking to upgrade from 27 and this is really helpful. This does make me realize 42" is still kinda big for my small room, and I should opt for 32" or 34" instead.
Thanks for watching too!
hopefully LG make a 4k oled tv or monitor in this size. The 42 inch is still a bit big for me too.
Your videos are absolutely fantastic man, you are my go to guy for tech. I too have the LG27GP950 and the LG C2 42” and seeing them compared and contrasted like this is the perfect video for me. I’m loving the C2 and that’s what I have for my desk setup it’s amazing.
Do you still think the 27GP950 is worth it after owning both?
After watching several videos of yours, I bought LG C2 42" 2 days back. To be honest I am using it with my Legion 5 pro. I have never been happier. This is probably the best purchase I made this year. :) Your videos helped a lot as well. I am planning to get ps5 by the end of the year so that serves the purpose of gaming as well.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy the TV 💪
Your videos are so freaking crisp!! Your set ups are amazing and clean very professional!
Ah thank you
FYI a lot of games will let you move the UI elements closer to the center of the screen, just in case you weren't aware. You can typically do so by "adjusting the safe zone" in the settings or something similar. I think it is meant to compensate for overscan on old TVs, which is why it is called that. But it effectively just moves the UI elements closer to the center. Some games allow you to move it closer than others, but it is always worth doing if you find yourself struggling to see the UI.
Also other games might just have straight up UI adjustment settings, either way, always worth looking through the settings.

@@iikatinggangsengii2471 What?
Great video and break down of the pros and cons of the C1 TV vs the LG UltraGear PC monitor and why you personally prefer the PC gaming monitor over the C1 TV.
2 months ago I switched from a MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD 27" 1440p IPS 165Hz gaming monitor to a 48" C1 TV and I love it!!!
My PC gaming experience is now like console gaming but without having to choose between fidelity mode vs performance.
I do not play multiplayer so 120 fps is enough for me...what I love about the C1 are the size and quality of the picture.
I love gaming on the C1 so much that I moved both my PS5 and switch dock from my 65" 4k HDR LED in the tv room to my desk, so now all my gaming is in one location.
btw - I use a very large harvest dining room table as my desk so I have plenty of space for such a large monitor.
Be careful about screen burn-in because there's a lot of static things displayed on your screen such as the taskbar and window icons etc.
@@Aadilf1 Thank you, I appreciate the warning/heads up...and I do take some precautions.
This might be the most relevant video I’ve watched in a long time.
10/10 take my upvote
I have a C2. It needs to be mounted flat on the wall really, Also, my desk is about 60cm deep. But for me, it's perfect. It's just so beautiful. My 4k monitor with HDR looks nowhere near as good as this screen. Also, that display was 144hz and this is 120hz. I don't know how or why, but the frame rates are just so much smoother. Maybe thats a HDMI 2.1 vs Display Port thing... Those blacks do ALOT for image quality/clarity. I completely understand those who think it's too big though. It won't be to everyone's taste. But if you feel like you would enjoy this, you will most definitely not be disappointed.
I have been using the LG 42" C2 as a PC/Console gaming monitor since launch day. I absolutely love it. It's great for games and music and also has an eARC socket so i can hook it up to my soundbar for Dolby Atmos audio. That is a feature that all regular monitors sadly lack.
Where did you buy it at?
@@MasterGunZ Currys UK
Just a silly question..Do you have to buy a motherboard that has hdmi 2.1? Or it fits everywhere?
@@simoskwnstantinou9127 Graphics card has to have hdmi 2.1 like Nvidias 30 series cards and AMDs 6000 series cards. I'm running my C2 with a 6900xt but had to buy a hdmi 2.1 from Amazon to run 4K 120hz on the TV or else whatever GPU you're running or HDMI cord is 2.0/2.1 will determine if your 4K/60hz or 4K/120hz
@@MasterGunZ thanks man!
I chose the 48" C1 as it's marked way down right now. Best decision I've ever made, and I've been flip flopping between screens for a couple years now. HDR gaming on these is out of this world, definitely feels next gen. Edit - I did wall mount it and its roughly 50" from my eyes which is the sweet spot. Would definitely not recommend for any distance closer than that
That's exactly what I did. The LG 48" C1 2021 model is about $900. After Nov 2022, the LG 42" C2
should be considerably marked down in price. And by that time, competitors will have their own
OLED models out for XMAS.
Smart decision. It's unbelievable how affordable OLEDs have become -- even in the last three years.
@streamx3m If people buy OLED monitors with display ports, the manufacturers
will notice. Buy XMAS; you should see a better selection of OLED monitors.
That's a virtue of capitalism -it responds very quickly to consumer demand.
@streamx3m OLED's response time is much more quicker than LCD's, that's why 60 on the OLED feels smoother since OLEDs can switch to the next frame almost instantly
@streamx3m not in game mode. It's likely the pixel response time.
30hz is awful on OLED and playable on LCD . 60hz and above though is smoother on an OLED.
I can't imagine playing F1 on that TV. Must be absolutely sick haha

I've been using 43" 4K TVs as computer monitors since 2016. I think it's the sweet spot for 4K monitor use. My current TV is the Samsung Q60R 43". I tried the 43" QN90B, but fuzzy text and motion blur was a deal breaker. I'm now waiting for some reviews of the new Sony X85K 43". The LG 42" OLED is on my list, but I'm concerned about burn-in which ruined my 55" LG OLED a couple years ago. Great video, mate!!
What did you end up going with?
bought an 48" LG c1 for pc gaming, thought it would be to big , but its not, never regretted it. LG OLED is King
The unspoken advantage with the C2 with PC is the ability to game in windowed/borderless windowed mode. Just game at 1440p windowed mode if fullscreen at 4k is too big. You'll also have extra screen real estate for other apps like browser and other utilities. You really can't do this with a tiny 27" 4k screen since it's too small!
I don't understand either why people never get this... If it weren't for the reflections I would have bought and mounted it to an arm ages ago - that way you can move it a bit closer for 4x21" productivity or fully extend the arm for sim games with desk-mounted joysticks while sitting further away or move it far back for 2K borderless (or fullscreen non-scaled/non-interpolated) FPS gaming... - owner of a 65" C9 and EIZO S-PVA monitors. Edit: You can also play ultrawide 32:9 (3840x1080) in the bottom and run Discord and OBS and whatever in the upper part ofc...
A very overlooked benefit
u will just sit closer to the screen ;
Using this very 42 inch LG screen at the moment and find it amazing for gaming and productivity to be honest. Add in the fact that its a very good TV in my home office when required and its an easy win over my previous monitor. No eye strain either I am glad to say
Pleased to hear you’re enjoying it too 💪
What size is your desk??
@@PlagasX I have a 160cm wide x 80cm deep desk and a 42 inch is perfect. Immersive but not overwhelming
Another great video, I think that the new lg ultra gear 32gq950 might be perfect for you. Its slightly bigger than the gp950 and the new display tech which ive seen in person looks phenomenal. Plus the new design without the red legs and back looks stunning. I think that should def be one worth reviewing. Amazing job as always.
I’m also thinking about getting the new 32 ultra gear with the new purplish design finish. I think it looks stunning, however I would like the idea of a 27-inches version also.
@@kRiMAnz yeah 32 is okay for 1440p but 25-27 1440p looks extremely crisp. I hope lg keeps up like they did with the gp series and makes a 27inch 1440p version. They ha e a 27 1080p one but anything past 25 for 1080p looks prehistoric.
I like my 48in C1 for gaming more so than any other gaming monitor I have had. The instant responsiveness and true blacks are fantastic plus the 120hz. Plus it has both G-Sync and Freesync so I'm not limiting myself to only one brand of GPU anymore.
Sure, me too, but for me are too big for monitor use, this C2 42 is better!
I've been using a 4k 40" Samsung TV as a monitor for about 3 years now and I completely agree with your assessment about playing FPS games on such a big TV. I will often end up running FPS games in window mode at 2560x1440 instead of full screen just so I can see everything.
do you lose image quality or anything similar running in a small window on a big monitor ?
@@mouzz Not really. As long as the desktop resolution used is the native resolution for the monitor, it's still a 1:1 pixel ratio in there window and looks fine. Newer games are taking wide monitors into account and often provide easy ways to adjust field of view which makes full screen work better on these large monitors.
I use a 55" A80J and can confirm. Just need beefier rig (4080 or stronger).
Your videos always look and sound so clean and crispy! I’ve also been debating this, because I tried gaming on a 27 inch monitor, and while I liked it better for FPS games, but for single player games, it just ruined my experience compared to my OLED TV.
Thank you.
I'll go with LG C2 42 any day 👍👍
Been using a 55" LG 4K OLED for years as a monitor. Absolutely love it. Just watch out for burn in as I didn't take care of my TV so there is not much re-sale value.
How do you prevent this? If you play for long periods of time
@@MrJamieFRESH Use a screen saver and refresh the pixels in the settings regularily. Also use a disappearing task bar...thats the worse thing to burn in.
@@moonlambo5229 thanks bro I’ve literally never done the pixel refresh or task bar 😂
Thanks for a nice review. The key to succes doing FPS gaming on a TV like the C2 is to use a customer resolution and disable scalling so that it don't fill up the entire screen. Now, it will mean a bit lower resolution but no need to head turning to see that AWP guy hiding in Dust :)
You can also use something like LG Companion to automatically wake the monitor and put it to sleep as the computer does the same thing. That also solves the problem of the remove turning on all LG TVs in the room.
I got the LG C2 48” in my bed room. I sit 2 meters away at a desk with keyboard n mouse and play MW2 & GT7 on PS5 also hooked up a Bose 900 Atmos soundbar.
BLOWN AWAY EVERY TIME I TURN IT ALL ON!😍😍😍😍😍
Looking to get the gp950 27” for my bedroom desk at work!
Love each and every single one these videos. The setups you create are just amazing. The video production is so good! Love the content man. Keep it up!
I appreciate the support Cody, thanks man!
I recently switched to a 42" C2 OLED from a three 27" monitor setup and I absolutely love it. It was on sale for $899 and I thought that was a great price for what would be a very large screen as compared to other PC monitors around the same size. The LG companion app you can find online helps to turn the TV into a monitor by allowing it to turn on and shut down when the PC does the same, as well as setting the screen to sleep after so many minutes of no mouse/keyboard/controller input.
This! Using that app made me not return the darn thing 😂
Bought the GP950 earlier today so I can finally play PC games at better specs than 1080p60. I stumbled upon the C2 during my search for the optimal monitor, and thought it could be a great additional display for console gaming should I be able to afford one in the future.
Glad to know I did choose a great monitor for desktop gaming, and that the C2 is indeed a magnificent OLED TV as shown by the specs :D
Mate, I don’t wanna sound like a SIMP, but I love your content! You’re easily one of my favourite Content creators.

Thanks, Chris, for the thorough comparison video!
If you are going back to your 27" gp950, can I have your 43" C2 please?? Haha but seriously, great video! Your content is always on point. These types of comparisons are super helpful for dudes that change their setups all the time like me.
Thank u for the review spawn I really appreciate it I’m definitely going to get the LG C2 OLED 42’ inch for gaming the quality is just insane.
I got a 32" 1440p 165hz ips lg monitor that down samples 4k 60hz to 1440p and an LG CX 65" TV and I 100% prefer a monitor. Something about being close to the screen makes me way more into a game and look for the smaller details in them. For my setup 32" is a little to big and I'll probably go with a 27" when 4k 144hz monitors are more affordable. I honestly couldn't care less about the 4k part as I play everything in performance mode but I want vrr badly
LG now has a 27 inch 240hz oled monitor up for preorder on their website.
Love my 34 ultra wide. Thinking of getting a 48 C1 or C2 and wall mounting it above my ultrawide.
You are living my dream life bro
Picked up a C2 a couple days ago. The quality of the picture is mind bogglingly fantastic. Absolutely blew my old 27in 1440 display away. In FPS gaming tho, it did seem too big. Ive started running a cropped resolution only during FPS gaming. That completely fixed my feeling of it being too big. Just feels like a huge ultrawide monitor while retaining all the OLED pros. Then I swap back to fullscreen for normal desktop use, media consumption, etc. My display also has a window about 10 feet directly behind it. Ive had blackout curtains for years that let zero light in when theyre closed and have no issues with glare. Cannot recommend this screen enough. To me it is an absolute must for any PC enthusiast.
Mind sharing your game mode settings?
I have an Xbox sx, would you recommend this tv??
I watch a lot of Netflix
I also play single player games
And Warzone ??? Will this tv be good enough to make me feel like I’m playing well
@@MrJamieFRESH yea oled is incredible i have c8
I agree. Big screen for single player games, 24-27” monitor for competitive titles.
The thing with smaller screen is you can VESA mount it and literally move it closer to your eyes, and it'll take up more of your vision. So even 27" panel can get more "immersive" this way. A bigger screen on the other hand, requires you to have a bigger desk if you want it to look smaller. But assuming that screen size don't matter, well, OLED is the way to go. It's simply a superior tech overall.
You might get more eye strain that way though. The further away something is the less the muscles inside your eyeball have to stretch the lens in the front of your eye to focus it.
Fantastic review, so on point with everything. I know you know I own both the GP950 and the C2 42” like you. I love the C2 42”. Love the glossy OLED but I think I’m going back to the GP950 for gaming. I would give the tv to my kids but they don’t take care of their stuff. That’s way too much money for now they use their tv. I might return it to LG.
Yeah I had the same problem until I sat back and found the sweet spot and now its perfect. I actually marked the sweet spot with tape due to the fact the chair slid from usage.
Both.
I run dual monitor setup, 32" Samsung G7 and will be adding the 42" in the coming week.
Your advice was super valuable as I was struggling deciding between the 48" and the 42", and while I have the desk space for both, you're right, for those games I want on a "big TV" I'll go to my 65" OLED and couch. So 42" for the desk it is.
Welp, looks like its time to buy the gp950. Thanks bro 🙏🏾
I just recently switch from a 50 inch tv to a 27 inch monitor and it’s a night an day difference and I gotta say I enjoy gaming on my monitor more for story games and FPS just feel so much smoother playing a on a monitor
Use a Gigabyte M32U here. 32", 4K@144htz over DP 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K@120hz, 1x DP 1.4 port and a USB-C port for my Mac, 32" is the sweet spot for me and this display has been awesome since I got it and now the PS5 has VRR this display is even better! Would recommend looking into it.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I have the new Alienware Aw3423dw QD Oled but lack of UW support is some of my fav games is a bummer. As soon as they make a 27in to 32in 16:9 Oled monitor i will grab that instantly.
My gaming station is in my room. It replaced my TV which I put downstairs. That being said my monitor also has to function as my TV. So obviously I chose the LG Oled and haven't been disappointed
48inch c1 sits on my wall above my desk. 144hz asus and a 240hz benQ for my pc / ps5 gaming. I am very tempted by the gp950 though
Finally it's here your videos are great keep the good work
I hope they release a 32 inch oled next year
Great video! I'm torn as just like you I've always preferred playing on a monitor. I currently have a Predator X27P which is fantastic for PC but I've switched over to console so want to replace this with an HDMI 2.1 monitor. I was very interested in the Eve Spectrum as I like the fact it doesn't scream gaming monitor but you only have to read the endless complaints in their forums about delays to shipping which has put me off. Heart says 42 as nothing comes close to OLED but have a feeling I would regret the bigger size.
Yeh really tough, I mean I like large TVs, but struggled with the 42" (but then my desk is quite small).
@@SpawnPoiint Hello mate, thought I would give you a quick update. I picked up a 42 C2 last week but it’s going back. Superb tv but pretty poor as a monitor. Found it quite dark and as I use dark mode the ABL would constantly kick in when I was composing emails which annoyed me. Text was also not very sharp. I have a GP950 arriving tomorrow 👍
Found another Rebirth lover. Best game-mode in years, much more like multiplayer but yet has the competitiveness of a traditional BR. Surprised more games haven't tried that concept yet.
One thing I would suggest if you get your hands on a HDMI 2.1 PC and try gaming on the C2 with the 21:9 mode for competitive gaming. punching in at eye level would make for a comparable size to the 27" while adding a bit more FOV.
@Garrus Vakarian yeah definitely, or see if there was a 1:1 pixel mapping and just use a custom res. OLED opens up multiple possibilities cause of the self-emissive pixels
Now this is the video I wanted to see. Hard to find a good size relativity video, though my decision is between 42" and 48" OLED... I think 45" would be perfect but I'm going with 42". It will just be sitting on my dresser using PS5. Thanks!
The moment they bring out a 32" I'll buy it. 42" is to big for desktop use.
@WhatsApp➕1②⓪⑨⑦⑧③⑨⑧①③ what's up bot, get reported

Trust me 32 inch is also big for desktop.
@@goshmain982 Well, I have a 27" at the moment and I can definitely see a 32" be the perfect fit for 4K. Anything smaller then that is fine but is not going to give you the max effect
Lol I got a 48. My desk is 30 inches deep tho.
hi i’m getting c2 around summer time i’m really excited i’m a big gamer . i love watching movies and sports . i’m excited
Great choice too
Bigger is always better! (That's what she said) I would never sacrifice Screen size based on what my desk can handle or is positioned.
I totally agree about the relevance of the kind of games you play. I've tested many monitors for my PC setup, and ended buying a 48 C1.
I have a pretty big desk, and got my C1 wall mounted, so distances are not really an issue.
After all this monitors, and being able to confirm that (i) I don't play online very often and (ii) I play mostly RPG, racing, fighting and story driven games, the 48" C1 became the "forever monitor". And if I want to play on the couch, I go to my 55" C1.
With that TV setup I can move my consoles from my living to my desk and back.
I am now convinced that my "forever monitor" is not gonna be there forever, but only until the 42" C2 arrives to my country, but has been a superior partner.
Great review and approach mate. Keep it up!
Thanks and interesting to hear your experience too!
I used the 48 inch C1 and got used to it. Tried going back to a 34 inch and just had to go back to 48 inch. Just feels more immersive especially sitting so close to it.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great video as always Spawnpoint. I would have to with the 42. The more these games get immersive, the more I would want a bigger screen.
I completely agree, 38" 16:9 TV has the exact same width as 34" 21:9 and it would have pixel density of 116 (ultrawide has 109 PPI).Sitting on a classic 80cm desk depzh... It would be perfect monitor/TV.
Love your videos keep up the good work
this is the TV that i need for my series S and my PS5 disc drive i just have to wait for the price to drop down LG C2
Thanks a lot for these videos. I'm in the US and are not yet available, but love to get an idea of what to expect in terms of size. So again, thanks for these!
I have a 2m long, 0.8m deep table, so I use both 42c2 and 27gp95r... What a great feeling to have both top hdr and top sdr experience!
Definitely 42'' between those two, not only because of the size but also because I love the fact that it's oled
I am using a 4K 32'' curved Samsung monitor. Don't want anything smaller or bigger, it's absolutely perfect. If my 32'' monitor was not curved, most probably would have gone for a 27'' monitor.
I'm still debating on on the C2 42". I have a desk depth of 42" and currently using the 38" Alienware Ultrawide. Was thinking 32'" Monitor or C2 42" as 2nd display for gaming or movies. Desk Size is 72"x42". C2 looking like a winner right now.
That aint a desk, thats a fckn kitchen table lmao
@@whitegoodman7465 actually it was an island countertop haha. Good thing my office is huge and my set up needs the space so it’s not cramped. Worked out perfectly. Comfortable sitting distance while maximizing space and productivity. No one wants to sit 2ft in front of a 42in screen.
I have a 24" monitor and already looks big.. the c2 would be too big and i would have to rotate my head around losing all the focus. My actual monitor has a 1080p tn panel so i think the gp950 will be more than enough for me. I don't mind oled for a gaming monitor and the reflections for me are a big point so i'll go for it without regrets. Ips vs oled differences are always the same and not a news anymore. Nice video tho, complete in all its parts well put together 👍🏼
Right now on Amazon the LG 27gp950 is $700. I’m tempted but I really want an oled.
Go with Oled if you see Oled games and movies, it's hard to go back on IPS.
Loved your video. Nicely coverd major and minor points
Thanks man!
@@SpawnPoiint Tech Community Needs people like you. ⭐
I literally have the same LG monitor and am considering upgrading. Thank you for this video and the comparison!
Thanks for the video. But I think a better comparison against the OLED TV would be the LG Ultragear 32GQ950. A 32” version of basically the same monitor you compared. But thanks again.
Thanks for the suggestion. 42" is just too big for me. Spawnpoiint reviewed that monitor a few weeks ago, I'm watching his review now. Looks like the price is the same as the C2.
This comparison is exactly the same situation I have. The Aorus 43" 4K 144hz monitor is excellent yet despite how good it is I prefer my LG 27" 4K 60hz monitor as I mostly play FPS games. So the 43" Aorus is going in the living room and it looks perfect here 💯
I have the aorus fv43 currently for my pc console set up. I love this monitor but have been heavily debating switching it to the lg 42 c2. I absolutely love oleds and it being and inch smaller and the all around frame being smaller I might pull the trigger. I have a wide and very deep desk and use controller 80 percent of the time. I'm surprised you play fps titles at 60fps and not higher. It's hard for me to play fps at anything below like 90 but 60 is perfect for everything else. I might sell the aorus and scoop up the lg in the fall sales. I just love the contrast and clarity of oled but the qled panel in the aorus is damn good and doesn't get enough credit. Even has a remote so I don't have to fiddle with the knob.
For FPS games try the 21:9 mode on the LG OLED. It increases FPS as less pixels and you don't have to turn you head to look at HUD.
I leave my 42 inch c2 in 21:9 mode 100% of the time and it feels perfect size wise.
In my opinion, the closer you sit to the 42" and larger monitors, I can see having to look from side to side, the larger the monitor the further you'll need to sit back from them. I have one of my gaming PCs hooked up to a 65" LG OLED first gen as I got it when they first hit the shelves, sitting back 10' from it makes it perfect.
I am currently putting together a sim-rig in which will have 3 42" LG OLED C2 monitors also as to why I am here, I wanted to see others opinions on these monitors as I have not yet unboxed them.
Another thing to keep in mind, when choosing large monitor, when it comes to a wide screen monitor, they are normally vertically challenged meaning their screen is not as tall as the normal monitors and some might want that taller screen so their eyes don't wonder off looking above the monitor.
Getting the 42” C3 soon, can’t wait!
I saw a couple of videos of people removing the anti glare on monitors. It makes it look a hundred times better!
I went today to check out the c2 , couldnt believe people were complaining that its not too bright and the glossy reflections are ean issue. Best buy was fully iluminated with strong lights everywhere and It was definetevle superior to almost all the samsungs and htcs next to them!
Im on the fence over this over the alienware at 1440p-4k is nice and I couldnt see pixels anywhere even at close up.
i switch from that lg 27 inch 144 hz to the lg c1 48 inch (960 pounds compared to 1400 pounds for the c2 42 inch not worth the extra 44o pounds for a smaller one lol ) so far i think that the c1 48 inch lg is amayzing for a gaming monitor , not to mention movies looks amayzing so do games cuz of the freesync(run it on 6900xt card amd) no tearing nothing , is perfect
Btw im ur new subscriber, i got addicted to ur vids from Morning and have watched 10-12vids already ❤️😅👌🏻👌🏻
ah thank you for the support!
If you have a 77" TV in the same room it's a no brainer. BUT during Black Friday Week you can get a 42" LG C3 OLED for 915€ (around $1,000). Same price as some high end monitors. Personally I'd probably going to check that C3 for gaming on my PC
issue with the "side by side" or rather front (27) and back (42), is that the 27" is alot closer to the camera due to its stand, so the percieved size difference looks very small.
"response time is near instant on both" the gp950 has a total response of 7.5ms whereas the LG has 2.3ms, and thats at 40hz lower.
A 32 inch oled would be all we need
I agree ☝️
your videos always cover all aspects anybody needs for the item .. thx
Got my C2 42 inch a few days ago. Sadly, still too big for me as a monitor. Maybe next year.
not all use cases are the same.. i only use my computer for media consumption.. movie watching, tv shows, youtube.. web browsing, any social media, and gaming. I originally used a 65" plasma for movies.. and a 30" dell ips monitor.. then i wanted to go bigger as i started doing more of my movie watching on my 30" dell/computer setup.. thought i should go bigger. so i bought a sony 43" lcd (60hz model) and was pretty happy as it was 4k ..i eventually stepped up to a 48" lg oled and will never go back to smaller
I'm using a 55 inch OLED as a desktop. It's fricken huge and I love it.
I return my gp950 and im waiting for my c2 42 ❤️.
Curious on why you returned it.
@@Kingeptacon and now im mad about this decision :( i return lg c2 th-cam.com/video/JndeYyVclR0/w-d-xo.html
YOU ARE THE BOSS AT COMPARISONS 😍 I absolutely love these kind of videos from you. Perfect need-to-know content. I would go for the 27 Inch since it's kind of cheaper, plus I would like to use it mainly for competitive gaming not for RPGs and no screen burn-in. If I had the money I'd buy both obviously😂 Love your vids brother 🔥
Thank you Joshua.
You’re awesome,keep going mate
I find my 32 inch curved Dell to be a perfect size. Having a 42 inch up close will just cause too much eye strain down the line.
But that 42 lg has some nice quality
Greetings from Brazil! I really like your videos! I'm new here on TH-cam and I get a lot of inspiration from your channel!
Congratulations for the excellent job!
Awesome video! I recently upgraded from a 27” to 32” monitor and I can say that at the beginning it felt too big but as weeks went by, 32” is the perfect sweet spot. It’s a shame that LG’s OLED monitor is crazy bunkers expensive but is not intended for gaming. Hopefully there’s an upgraded Ultra Gear OLED soon down the road.
same. 32inch is the sweet spot both for console and pc gaming.
@@icebaby271 i got neck pain after using 32 inch
The oled are intended for gaming
@@bbdo1111 the LG UltraFine OLED lacks high refresh rate and it is marketed on their website for design and video professionals.
@@nayibgonzalez3250 the c1 & c2 series are catered towards gaming..... high 120hz, 1ms response & gsync/Freesync for gpu...... what u on about
I can't game on LCD panel anymore. Once you go OLED you never want to go back to any other screen
