I didn't know you were gonna make this video but I definitely needed this video in my life. I recently got this tv for productivity and game play use.
Una pregunta amigo, en que puerto HDMI conecto la ps5?
I bought a C1 55'' for my desk a couple of years ago and never regretted it.
A 55 inch for your DESK? Are you utterly MAD? Do you have cataracts and 3-inch glasses???
Where did you buy the monitor lamp you have ontop of your tv? And the light behind the tv? I get such an headace from this tv despite having lowering the light on the tv. I never had this problem from other lg oleds from the past. Great review and I love your setup!
Bought the 55” c3 last summer and it’s phenomenal
Have a 65" C1 that I run with a PS5 and my 7900xt PC. Monitors are dead to me lol OLED is the only way now.
Gaming OLED monitor
monitors have start releasing OLED. Asus and Alienware soon will release 32" 4K 240hz OLED monitors, and the Alienware is QD-OLED.
How has your C1 held up? I just got a C3 & love it, but have heard so much about screen burn in with static images/logos from gaming.
@@ExMachina83 its overblown. Its been fantastic. I still own a ST50 plasma TV without burn-in either.
A LG C3 for $899 is too good. Nee oled monitors around that size will probably cost a chunk more.
I actually prefer a dimmer OLED tv cause I use it as a monitor and I sit right on it, it doesn’t strain my eyes one bit I have a 48 inch LG A2 love the picture quality incredible contrast everything looks awesome on it definitely will be getting another sometime next year for my living room
Adjusting settings is a nice option to have if you do own a OLED that has a higher brightness
Btw you don't need to use the game optimiser mode, enabling 444 hdmi pass through means you get 'pc mode' latency on all the picture profiles, filmmaker mode with modified whitebalance to taste being the best.
I use the 48" as my computer screen for a few months now and it's awesome.
A 48 inch for your DESK? Are you completely INSANE? Are your eyes failing due to old age???
My first OLED TV was/is the 65" LG B8. I fell in love with it. It's still going strong over 5yrs later now. It's the TV that made me decide there's no going back to LCD, or any other technology. Recently, I decided to pick up a 42 or 48" OLED for mainly PC use. I ended up going with the 48" LG C3, basically because it was the same price as the 42". The B8 is still gorgeous...But, I can see the advancements. The C3 is definitely brighter and more punchy. The colors are just dead-on on either unit. Great TV imo. I wouldn't think of buying any other kind at this day/time. Cheers.
Is there any juddering/stuttering when you watch movies or tv?
I ordered myself the 48" C3 because it's almost the same price as the 42" version. But I'm worrying that it will be too big on my desk. I play with controller exclusively on pc.
How do you manage with your 48" model? Is it on your desk?
@@ZackZavage It probably is.. But I think the 42 would be as well. I've mine off to the side as a 3rd monitor. Works well enough for me. And the picture quality is 2nd to none
Hey there, would you mind letting me know of your desk's dimensions, please? Thank you for the video!
Is a 2023 LG OLED TV “worth it” in 2024? Nah, throw away that one year old piece of trash. 😂
Lol
Hahahahaha
I buy it 2024 on sale 600€
Bought 42inch in November my first Oled and smallest tvi ever had and have to say I have always bought top of the line tvs as i love my tvs but have ta say I'm loving this and with PS5 it's 👍👌👌❤️
Expensive as well for a small TV but worth it
My C3 42” is coming today.
I just ordered a 42 inch C3 from Amazon. Buying for my ps5 and pc work and gaming.
How's gaming on the C3 so far?
Loving it?
@@zigziar yes sir, I use for gaming and my work monitor. Very satisfied
@@bewee gaming has been nothing but spectacular
@@RoyalBoyle78 It made me all my time games look 10x better. It's crazy how far I can see stuff and how detailed everything is. Even in old games. I'm trying witcher 3 now.
Just picked up 77 inch c3. Plugged it into rtx 4090 and im blown away. 4k 120fps max settings on most games i play and i feel 0 input delay, very snappy. Couldn't be more satisfied.
I have a 55" Hisense U8G in my room and a 77" LG G3 in the living room. The OLED does get bright, but because it lacks a backlight, you don't get that punch when watching bright scenes that you get with backlit TVs. To make matters worse, they tie in brightness with contrast, so if I want to get that extra brightness, I have to put the contrast up, resulting in a high-contrast image. I want to swap my 55" for a 48" C3, but I can see from the video that it would be the same case as my G3 (lacks brightness).
Cool video bro 👍
You mentioned using bluetooth headphones for gaming. Does the tv kick you out of game mode when connecting the headphones like my LG C9?
This size gives you the 3.5mm headphone jack, is the audio quality differ when using that port compared to connecting headphones to the Xbox sX controller? I ask because I am planning on getting this tv but was going for a 55" but I do prefer smaller screen for gaming so would consider the 42" as well
I’m definitely getting this tv this will be my first oled tv I can’t wait to experience it I heard you can never go back
I have to agree! I use OLED for everything now just about
LG leaked C4 for next year, and it will have 144hz instead of 120hz so don't rush to buy a C3 or another OLED TV. if it was spring i'd say go for it, but now in mid December i'll say wait.
@@SapiaNt0mataps5 have only 120, for console 144 doesn't matter
As far as I know, you can’t achieve more than 120@4K with hdmi 2.1, meaning there’s no use for 144 hz (yet)? Anyway, I have a 34 inch monitor which has become too small after I upgraded to a desk 90 cm deep. Is it as good playing on this format as a wide screen monitor?
I just bought myself a 48inch C3 for Christmas and I’m crazy excited. I’m gonna set it up tmw once I’m home from work. I have until now had a Bravia H800 and I really liked it but it was just a bare bones 4K panel. It will be nice to have all the bells and whistles to play around with. Is burn in a real concern for the average user? For just normal gaming and tv. I know for the first OLEDs that came out it was all anyone talked about but I don’t seem to hear about it much anymore
Burn in isn't much of an issue if you don't have a static screen for hours and hours on end. I'm really considering picking this tv up too. You mind telling me how you're liking it when you get it set up?
@@christopherross8976 QD OLED S90C vs LG C3
I bought my 48 inch C2 last year and really love it your going to be very happy.
@@christopherross8976okay so couple days in and I love it, setting up a quality picture and sound profile took a good bit of tinkering, and cable tv definitely lacks a bit of stability in the image. But other than that it is an amazing tv. One weird quirk I had that idk if anybody else had. When I turned on my Series X, it was the weirdest thing, none of the game mode stuff turned on, and the HDR settings like totally borked themselves. But I just forgot the device and re-set it up and then it was fine. Otherwise though I would totally say go for it, the blacks are truly inky, and if there is other TVs out there that get brighter, it can’t be by a huge amount, becuase daymn this thing is bright haha
@@christopherross8976 If you can still find it for 990 at Best Buy then yeah ! My first open and wow it’s nice. I’m never going back to a normal panels now. If you have the money then splurge for other but this one of those tvs that just sits right.
Is it the picture settings you use or the camera you filmed with, or is the tv picture really that bland and dim?
I saw this tv is Wal mart was like dang wow, also we can not see it in its complete clarity here in this youtube video as I do not have a 4 k TV, and question! does it required a Dos Link to hook up it up to surround sound, such as a Sumung TV???
If the main usage is financial spreadsheets, is this better than my curved ultrawide LG monitor (LG UltraGear 34GL750 led 34")???
im not sure if its the camera or your colors are complete off.. did you read up wahts the best settings for this tv? it seems way too dark liek your in energy saving mode or something.. i have a c3 too and it looks not so washed out.
I've owned this TV as a gaming monitor for 6 months and still love it. Planning on getting a 32" OLED gaming monitor in the future.
32in 4K OLED monitor is what I'm waiting for too.
Asus and Alienware have announced 32 4K 240hz OLED monitors, and Alienware will be QD-OLED. the thing is their prices will be higher than this C3 42" TV. the current LG OLED 42 costs $1,900. this is like buying a 65" 4K OLED TV. there are not many options in 4K OLED monitors so they put whatever the phuck they want as prices.
@@SapiaNt0mata I just saw that too. Perhaps in time the price will drop with competition.
@@crzxm i don't see it comming anytime soon or ever. gamers bought the Alienware ultrawide OLED for $1,400 and it's 1440p and not 4K. people spent more for a 34" 1440p than a 42" 4K TV, and this monitor got sold out from pre-order. as long as people buy them the prices won't drop. and from a business perspective, when you see that people buy at these prices and they even get sold out, you won't sell yours for $800 or $700.
@@SapiaNt0mata What ? where do you live ? the LG C3 42" is just $900 in the US
Thanks for your video, I’m actually an owner of Samsung S90C and it does have the generation two panel. What are your thoughts on that one? I chose that over the LG C3 both were comparable prices.
I think both are incredible actually, I've tried both but I personally bought the 55" C3 for my living room months back as I preferred the UI and gaming settings. I think it comes down to preference however.
Samsung QD OLED is future proof 4K 144hz.... also QD OLED is better than normal OLED..
My question is, whats the difference between C1 and C3 ? I have been using a c1 for 2 years now and really love it. I don’t see any features in c3 which c1 doesn’t have
I’m shopping around right now I have the c1 48 just too big for desktop only problem still amazing quality.
how is 42''lg c3 as monitor doing?
How is it for desktop use? And how is the text clarity?
Do you know with the C3 and Xbox series x should we use the full rgb option?
How many nits has the 42 model?
Just upgraded from a Samsung G40B 27 inch fhd 240hz monitor. Even the TV setup menu wowed me 😂
What do you do for color calibration?
GOT A 65 CS OLED THE PS5 LOOKS AWESOME
LG c3 with the ps5 and series x 👌
Hola buenas, en que puerto has conectado la ps5? Es igual todos los HDMI son iguales? O hay uno específico para jugar mejor?
Ahora me compré la televisión en 48" lg C3 y la ps5 con cable especial 4k y quiero aprovechar al máximo la ps5
@@laideadedani8318 Todos los puertos HDMI son 2.1 Puedes conectar la PS5 en cualquiera y vas a tener el beneficio full del TV.
@@laideadedani8318your PS5 would benefit most from the HDMI 2.1 ports that this model provides. I believe this model provides 3/4 of them.
@@laideadedani8318HDMI 2.1 allows for 4k 120 HZ on current Gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox series X provide
2:54 headphone jack? That's great.
Did you turn on HDR in windows?
Thoughts? Would there be a significant difference if I switched from a 34-inch QLED Alienware monitor to a 32-inch model? I'm an avid gamer but also work from home in cybersecurity, and I greatly appreciate crisp text. Additionally, I use a dock with USB-C power, but I'm pondering whether the 34-inch screen really offers a substantial advantage in terms of productivity space.
Truthfully, I think any 4k would probably give you a bump over 3440x1440. Just by math alone , more pixels = more space. Also depends how you scale your desktop too. On my Mac I go straight 4k, windows I do 4k but scale like 125% if that makes sense.
I used to exclusively use a 34" ultra wide too. I miss that 21:9 at time, I don't know why, but I truly get more out of 4k.
I personally use either my 42" C3 OLED or LG's 4k 240hz OLED.
you win either way tbh. Plus going from QLED to OLED will be sick.
cheers!
Last spring I put my Special Edition Cyberpunk XBox in storage and purchased a Series X . Been playing Fallout 4 , 76 , Battlefield and Elite Sniper 5 on it , with my 9 year old Visio 42 " Series M playing monitor . 2 weeks ago I bought a Seagate 2 TB SSD for the Xbox and moved all my games onto it , including a new download of Assassin's Creed Black Flag .
I was really looking forward to seeing how the series X presented the game in contrast to my One X .
But after it finished downloading , I was calibrating my TV for the game and the TV just went black . No power , no sound , no input response 😢 .
I went on Amazon yesterday and ordered a 55" LG C3 ...I really hope it's everything every one says it is .
The fact that it has gaming hardware built into it that my Visio never had , plus the 9 year gap in tech advancement has got me really stoked .
Anyways , thanks for the great review 👍 .
Ill have mine in 3 days tell me what you think of it ?
@netdisroll ...hey , I will , but I had to reorder .
Got a text from Amazon the next morning that my TV had shipped .
An >> hour
I bought it recently but I just realized this model apparently doesn't support 4 way zoom in the aspect ratio menu. Can anyone confirm?
Does the 48 model have the DTS audio setting or just double digital?
It does
Looking to convert from monitor for call of duty with my PS5. Lag has been my only concern but it sounds like it’s not an issue with this TV.
So u buy this tv?
@@Yaasser1 absolutely. Been loving it for gaming. Had to get familiar with some settings if I wanted to tweak some stuff but overall… huge W!
@irish7611 any juddering/stuttering for movies or TV shows?
I need to know hwo you got it to switch to FPS instead of standard. And would that help playing FPS's? Already game optimizer and all of that bit I always wondered why it didn't have that setting in optimizer.
Hi Minimalis, is it worth upgrading from LG C1 to G3?
Honestly if you have the funds to do so that’s a fat upgrade when it comes to brightness. G3 does have that newer panel. I imagine you’re wall mounting?
It’s all really depends on your area too. Image wise yeah it’ll be brighter but overall it’ll be largely the same apart from brightness I think personally.
Maaaaaaybe holding out for the G4 to see what they’ve got going on may be the better move. The C1 is still a beast
@@MinimalisTech Maybe i'll wait the G4. Thank you so much for your advice!
One last thing, I have the 03.36.50 update, unfortunately I can no longer display the hidden menu with 1113111. Do you know how to help me?
how many nits of brightness does this monitor max?
Games do 4k 120 hz now?
I bought the 48 inch one because I thought 42' one was too small for my desk.
hi what brand is you light bar
42’ c2 here. After optimizing and calibrating the tv to its max performance the picture looks great but I notice on certain games especially MW3, the picture looks grainy/dithering effect over blacks and certain colors. Not sure if it’s my tv or the developers but super annoying
A lot of these games have film grain settings. Could check for that. I had to turn it down loads in Spider-Man 2.
I’m looking to get three of these for my Microsoft 2020 flight simulator as a triple setup any views or advice is welcome 🙏
I am doubting between the LG C3 42 or LG C2 48 there difference in price is £50. I am a bit concerned with the 48 being too big for my desk (just a 1m depth).
What did you go for in the end? Can't decide in this myself or to go to the C4??
As tempting as this is, I’m holding out for the glossy OLED monitors expected in 2024. Unfortunately TVs are missing out on PC features such as being able to mount to a monitor arm, one cable charge/display input thru thunderbolt, KVM device switching, and display wake from turning on computer
My monitor is the last non-OLED display in my home, cant wait to OLED all the things. Really can’t go back
U can get an arm for it for your desk, or even simpler just wall mount it
none of those are real issues. these are nitpicks. LG and Alienware will release 32" 4K 240hz OLED monitors so you don't have to wait for TV's. and the Alienware monitor is QD-OLED.
@SapiaNt0mata Exactly he might as well ask for it to also have DCI 100% REC 2020 100% oh, and 4k 240hz as well as for the TV to come in 27 inches while he was at it 😂
Cost will be crazy@@SapiaNt0mata
It able to mount with a 300x100
RTINGS claims it has 2.7 inch clearance for soundbar on 77 inch model, not 2 and 1/4 inch?
Hmm maybe you’re right. My 55” in the living room is 2.25 maybe the 77 has even more space
since this tv has its own bluetooth does that mean I can wirelessly connect my headphones to the tv when I play ps5 instead of plugging in aux to the controller? Sony has its own bluetooth paywall that comes with its new headsets.
Yes you can. I’ve done it many times. Depending on your earbuds or headset there may be latency though.
I get vertical grey lines in dark areas of the game when I increase the refresh rate above 60hz is this normal??
Waiting on the c4 read lg going to use new chips that will enhance gaming even more.
Same holding off an G3 for the C4 or G4, coming from an Lg C1 55" but gonna size up to an 77"
Mine is stuck on standard. 120 hz and all other settings on
HOW DID YOU GET YOUR SETTING TO GO FROM STANDARD TO FPS IN GAME OPTIMIZER? Jesus idk how to do that
Switch your picture mode to game optimizer. Then you can change it while in game optimizer. I couldn’t do it when I hade my picture mode on Vivid
No KVM no 48w usb c charging... If it had it would have been a great alternative to the current gen oled monitors
Torn between this and the Sony x93l
I'm legit crazy, I had a 48" LG C3 for my daily monitor and I was like is this too small, now I have the 55" and I love it.
How far back do you sit?
What is that lamp that’s behind the tv
The lighting behind my desk is a light strip from Nanoleaf! - geni.us/LIGHTSTRIP-NANOLEAF
The light onto the TV is a BenQ halo - geni.us/BenQ-Halo
is it still worth availing the Lg c2 since its on sale? or better getting the c3??
get c2
@@bigben9056Why not the newer C3?
Jus get the c3.
finally got my first Oled😊. decided to get the c3 as is just a small price margin from the c2. cant resist to get the newer version😂.. and i was blown away especially when gaming😃😃😃
C2 = C3.. just look for best price
how often do i need to use the pixel cleaning?
Your TV will do pixel cleaning automaticaly each time you siwtch off
It's all done automatically done by LG, no need. It'll run a huge pixel cleaning at 2000 hours but small pixel cleaning when you have it on for a few hours.
thanks. for the reply i see the option also in the settings though@@_ATHENODOROS_
thanks. for the reply i see the option also in the settings though
@@beammeupscottsp7952
Question I stream so I run my monitor in 1080 to help with fps
Can this be used in Oled 1080p? Or am I forced to use a high resolution thus effecting Gpu output fps?
If I run my current monitor in 1080 I get 70-80 frames.
But if I run in 1440 I get 55ish
So can I run in 1080 to get higher fps while streaming? Anyone?
Nevermind 4090 only option it seems
Or I can't if it's 120 hertz?
OLED is not for desktop PC as a main monitor else as a secondary video display monitor only.
Continually Self lit LEDs burning kills its lifespan as like a flash light.
Just games or movies optimized.
yo u might be a genius, now the tv is a tax right off
Perhaps G3 or C4 or G4?
I've been trying to get a G4 but they're not available in Canada. Ended up going with a Samsung S95D
@@MinimalisTech is it better than C3?
What's the game at 4:03?
Ghost of Tsushima! Incredible game
Gotham knights and the upcoming suicide squad on the either PS 5 or Xbox series x
You forgot to tell us one thing. As a gamer we use headphone 🎧 for Gaming, wired mostly for low latency. So how does this TV help us?
I actually use a headset with this! The 42" specifically has a headphone jack, but as a console gamer it's easier to plug into my controller.
cheers.
Bap main? Based.
QD OLED S90C vs LG C3
Probably the Sony. But out of those 2 you mention they’re both pretty good. LG is ok.
I really wish they would stop adding speakers to these TV’s. It just adds cost and bulk to the tv.
Anyone who buys one of these without a proper sound system needs to be educated immediately.
They don't need to be educated as TV's generally come with built in speakers for convenience. Also I'm sure the people that actually make these TV's would know better than you when it comes to deciding what goes in and what doesn't go into there TV's
Once you go 42" you can't downsize to 32" monitors. I'm still waiting for something to succeed my 42" C2 😂
I have a c2 I think I will pass on the c3 and look at a C4.
My ps5 looks dim! I dont know why
If you do oled 4k 120hz never go back its good if you get it on sale my c3 42" was on sale 719€ here its worth
If you have c1 or c2 its same
C4 over price but do 144hz 😒 but not worth the price
Blink fan
It’s way too low bud. You’ll screw your neck and posture up, I promise you that much. Raise it up 🙌
why my mobile is more colere thsn the TV
Why a TV of 2023 wasn't good in early 2024?
Omg
Webos makes me see red
no, its not worth it in 2024, you should definitely change TV every 6 months, duh...
yes but the c3 is locked at 120FPS only, a true gaming monitor can reach 500+
120fps is on the outdated list!
Also, If you want to do 2k gaming instead of 4k because of your PC build, issue arise when doing so (usually on the edges).
if your running a 4000 series GPU, you will not be be able to push past 120 FPS but your video card can , making it a bottle neck
It's a trash TV My main board went out within 3 months I can't get Best buy to fix it because of LG and Best buy having some sort of beef with each other right now and LG is giving me a hard time
LONG term? STILL worth? Dude, less than a year since lauch, calm down...
lol
Considering the new modell (c4) will launch in a couple of months, yea it's considered old and they will stop manufacturing like in the c1 and c2's case.

I'm not recommending LG oled due to reliability issues panel need replacment after 1 or 2 year which cost like new tv
43" c3 is dimmer than it's bigger brothers. You should have reviewed 55" or bigger
The father that they go with the oled they are beginning to look colors washed out and that's because they're trying to brighten them up honestly the c1 is the best looking one but the C2 C3 they went too far with the lighting them up so it's making the colors look washed out
Complete garbage if you’re going to use it to watch everyday TV - after 3 years my 65E7P was completely ruined with color shading and image retention. The worst part is LG refused any service.
Too dark for HDR gaming for me
I think u just dislike hdr like me cuz i thought that on multiple tvs iv seen its always dark
@@UltraJamZHD nope I love HDR especially on a QD-OLED or LED with FALD. LG for some reason lowers the TV brightness in game HDR mode. Probably because they don't use active tone mapping.
Not a single negative thing to say, well I'll consider this an advertisement then
