Thank you as always for your most informative review and perspectives on this TV. You convinced me to change to this as a monitor.
I wish they can make a smaller version like 40 inches. It's just too big for my desk. I also hope that other manufacturers compete as well. If other brands have 120 Hz OLED panels at a lower price I'd buy one!
To anyone who has never had a PC monitor this large before and is also using their PC for work, I highly suggest that you honestly assess if you have the space to both sit far enough away from ANY monitor larger than 32" and set them up so that their top bezel is near or at eye level.
Not only is neck strain a real thing that will for sure happen if you simply replace your small monitor with a large monitor, the real estate that you gain will be negated by the sheer distance of the corners from your optimal viewing angle. Again, for gaming this may not be an issue, but for work you will notice this all the time. For context, I recently bought the FV43U. And this is just 43". The C1 starts at 48".
So if you also use your PC for work, if you're not sure your workspace can accommodate this TV, go for multiple smaller monitors or a widescreen. I still love my FV43U, but I want to save some of you out there who may be on the verge of making a mistake. The only real reason to get monitors of this size is for the immersive gaming experience. They're not as good as widescreen or multiple monitors for productivity. I promise you that.
Been running my LG CX 48" with my RTX 3090 for the past year runs great. No Burn In and much better than all my previous monitors. If only the TV was in the 30ish inch range it would be the best. No Complaints though. 4K 120Hz Gaming is Epic.
How far is it from your eyes please?
do you got any calibration settings
@@kony72 Check my page I have videos, around 3 Ft.
@@Digitalizedx I have the tv now. Getting everything right for me has been a silly process. Alot of “options” that are not laid out very well. Every tv is different so just get yr own calibrator. Only thing that seems to be constant is: contrast 85, brightness 25-50, pixel brightness 50. Sharpness 10 (for me) Turn off all post processing settings, they remove details. & mostly just look at Ratings overview of settings.
Thank you! I was wondering because I have the same card and just bought a c1. The pixel cleaning feature and using a pitch black 2 minute-time screensaver seem effective so far in preventing burn in or image retention.
I´m using the 48" CX since it´s release as a monitor and no problems or burn-in etc. at all. Enjoying 4K at 120Hz with HDR and G-Sync.
Nice heh
Tell me about your daily usage please, ex: how long do you do what?
@@ｚ３ｎｔｒｏｐｙ I work from home and use my CX basically all day every day since release. Have 4700 hours (196 days) of screen on time, mostly productivity... don't even bother hiding the task bask because I purchased a 5 year burn-in warranty.
Not a hint of burn-in.
LG is a beast
@@nerdstrangler4804 thats rather amazing, thank you
I just got a CX open box for $1,100, realistically as a PC monitor none of the differences you will ever know about or care about. The quality of this is unreal. Only thing you need is a wall mount or a stand to keep it at least 3' away from your face.
Thank you. Detailed and enformative.
Just purchased this TV. So excited to see how it looks and performs.
How is it?
I've been using 65 inch CX for the living room that doubles as my main monitor.
My neck hurts. But it's magnificent.
Time to get him a 48 inch little brother.
I have A PG 279QM too, And the oled panel is still my favorite for everything not fps. (240 hz is just ideal obviously)
LG has said they will start making 42" OLED TV which should make it even more viable as a Monitor.
HYPE!
Cheering
LG display*, LG electronics didn't say they will take it and turn it into a product but other companies may.
@@xm3405 LG Electronics confirmed it's coming in Q4 2021
@@Reptileman110 It should be cheaper than the 48" right away, the 42" panels are going to be cut using MMG technology, there's a video by Vincent on this channel about this: "33% cheaper than 55" panels"
I've been using the 55BX as my PC monitor for about a year now, and I absolutely love it. The picture quality is absolutely excellent. However, I don't like the changes in Brightness when a fully white picture is suddenly displayed, and I'm also not too satisfied with the overall Brightness. But I think the newer B1/C1 TV's do get brighter.
How far do you sit from it? And do you use your keyboard and mouse on the desk?
@@zantesh Yes, it's placed on my desk, but the furthest away from me as I can get it. I'm sitting about 80 cm away from it, and I do have my keyboard and mouse on my desk. To drive it, I use an HDMI 2.1 connection with my 3080. Every time when somebody sees my contraption the first time, they say that I'm insane to use such a big display, but I honestly couldn't go back to anything smaller than 32".
But there is a minor issue I discovered lately with this display, and that is a dead pixel right in the top right corner. I don't know how this happened, since I'm very gental with it, but it still happened.
@@kavelab699 thanks for the quick reply. I've tried using my lg c9 55 as a monitor but my desk is too small. Only 60cm deep. And the TV stand makes the TV protrude at least 15cm.
I think I'm gna wait for the 42 inch c2 oled before I commit to an oled for my main pc monitor.
@@zantesh 42 inches seems to be a lot more manageable than 55, surely better for a 60 cm deep table. The mine is 80 cm deep, thus the bigger distance.
I have had the 48 inch cx as a monitor for about six months now. It is amazing. And that is coming from a dell ips ultrawide. There is nothing to compete with it monitor wise, if you are focusing on picture quality.
Same here I used the CX for 4k 120 hz gaming for about a year now coming from an asus pg348q 3440 x1440p ips 100hz gsync monitor. Not only is the picture quality better the input lag and response times often gets me on top of the leader boards in online competitive gaming one being vermitide 2. Nothing comes close or is in the pipeline for maybe another few years. Plus the CX 48 incher is going for $1199 currently.
@@aberkae the c1 48 inch is 1200 for me. And that’s including the wall mount too. Such a good price for what ur getting
but burn in?
I assume you need a deep desk to use it
@@BubbleStarYT I'm using mine mounted on the wall.
One of thr things you have to consider is your eye height when using one of these as a monitor as it can cause serious neck issues. You can use up to about a 32" without many issues, but going above that can create neck cramp - I was able to fix this by using a wall mount to lower it and to remove the stand.
Awesome
I have it setup as an additional and not as my main monitor as I use it for specific use-cases only, with gaming being the main one, but also watching HDR content or if I need the sheer size (my main monitor is only 24").
And I do this mainly to prevent burn-in, but also because it's size is too much for me on a lot of taks.
FYI the CX 48 inch is selling for $1199. I have been using the this as a PC monitor for the past year and its dope. Especially for multiplayer online gaming at 4k 120hz.
Will be much more practical when/if the size comes down to ~40".
Please review the Aorus FO48U, the first 48 inch OLED PC Monitor as well. Thanks in advance!
Don't bother it is the same as the LG tvs. Same characteristics same dim panel. Only benefit is it supports displayport albeit only at 120hz not 144.
VRR flicker problem isn't mentioned. Dark colors flicker in variable refresh rate mode if computer produces less than 120 (or 60) frames per second. Personally, I rarely encounter it and I can just disable VRR if it gets annoying, but it's worth mentioning. It seems that this problem is present in every OLED monitor that features VRR.
I plan on using this as a gaming only monitor for my pc. I’ll use my standard for normal every day use.
This is definitely a better option than the Asus model HW unboxed just reviewed. Lol
Hah, I also found this video after watching the Asus review on unboxed.
Waiting for people to get their hands on an Odyssey Neo G9. Idk why asus thought using an IPS panel was a good idea for a high end hdr monitor
@@Lead_Foot It doesn’t even look like Asus used a panel capable of displaying high refresh rates but just stuck a random 2160p panel inside the monitor chassis, made adjustments to force it to allow high refresh rates, and called it a day. It seems more like a content creator panel than anything else given the color accuracy of it. Also $3,800!!!!!!!!!!!! Compared to that, I would use the LG C1 any day. There’s no comparison.
and it is larger and cheaper !
@@zgoaty9235 Ah yes, a "random panel" that can output 1700 nits at peak and 1200 nits at 100% white. That monitor is in many ways trash but calling it a "random panel" is bs. Just for comparison, the C1 in this video has a peak brightness of 790 nits and only 122 nits at 100% white. I own a C1 and wish it was brighter in HDR.
55" CX here. Best PC display I've ever used. Period.
same here 48cx
do you guys notice a pinkish radial tint on the middle of the display? colors look warmer to me directly in front of me when compared to the edges of the screen
@@GraveUypo There is a slight gamma shift off axis. It's never really bothered me as it's usually worse on LCD TVs.
Do you have any burn in? How long have you used it for?
@@E96 no burn in. Roughly 6400 hours of use time. Varied content.
One like for sure because of the Portugal cap ;)
I have this as a monitor. Only downsides are the auto brightness via ABL when maximising a white window which you can’t stop, and it constantly switches the sound profile to Game Optimizer every time you turn on the PC .. wish it could stay on Cinema which I think sounds much better
Yea, Cinema option is better. LG have to fix that.
I use my 77in LG GX in my living room as my computer monitor for now. It looks amazing! I do have issues with the connectivity from time to time when the PC continuously adjusting the picture from time to time but might just be a PC issue. I don't plan on using it for long though. Just waiting to find the right "actual" computer monitor because I don't want to risk burn-in on my living room TV lol
Are the LUTs really native 16-255 instead of 0-255?
LG has PRO OLED Monitor in 65inch. Model : 65EP5G. Kindly review that model also.
the perfect timing for this video
Requested you to please review "Motorola Revou" tv if possible or update on your website. Thanks your videos is very helpful to buy a TV. 🤝🏼
How well does it cope with power saving when I put my PC to sleep? My Samsung TV takes 4hrs to realize I'm not using it.
Been running a 48C1 for about three months now with a RTX3090. Came from a 32” BenQ 4K monitor. The only thing the BenQ did better was text clarity, thanks to the WRGB pixels on the OLED. Overall I’m very happy with this TV as my PC monitor and I’m glad I bought it!
HI how is the hdr experience on this oled i have as well a benq 32 inch 4k monitor, is 48 inch ok for you and how is the glossy panel with reflections, i don t know if to buy the asus pg32uqx or the c1 48 inch thanks in advance
Hey, a year later here, but have you experienced burn in?
@@springpanda9393 none at all, but I am careful to not leave it on when I’m afk and regularly move my desktop icons around, hide taskbar etc. Best “monitor” I ever had by a country mile!
@@trevormurdok7666 Sorry just saw this! The HDR on the OLED is fantastic! The glossy panel is fine except if you have very bright light coming in from behind you. In that sort of situation I’d say you need curtains for a couple hours a day! Which did you end up going with, the ASUS or the LG? Or something else?
@@kbk75yt after a full year of gaming / having static images displayed in an area? What kind of monitor usage did it see? Im buying a 48 inch as a monitor / tv and i can find no real examples of burn in testing
What is the depth of the tv together with the stand? I want to get a proper table first
i have the 48" CX as my PC monitor for my new build.. for now im running it with a Ryzen 5800x, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3060 Ti... i love that tv as a monitor when gaming with the vibrant colors and perfect blacks
How close do you sit?
@@renendell at my desk im like 2+ feet or so away, i dont be all up closed to it..i have a wireless xbox controller and headset so when i game im not close to it, but its one amazing screen for sure for gaming or in general.. and im coming from an LG 27" 27GN950 4K IPS 144Hz monitor and this 48" blows it out the water
I think I'm going to try it.
I sit 3ft away from the screen and find it fine. I sit further back when playing a game as im a pad gamer and dont need the desk for a keyboard.
@@titntin5178 I sit about 30 inches away and it's good for me. Not too big. Enjoyable so far :)
Picked one up at BestBuy open box for $710. It's missing a remote but can easily be obtained online. Found one for $40. I'm so excited to game on this! I can't wait to set it up!
Hope you like it!!
Well I'm using a 50 inch LG plasma tv as my monitor and its like 8 years old with no burn in, just make sure you put it to sleep or off when you leave it for any amount of time.
Guys can someone tell me if the text / font is distorted on C1? I am planning to use it mostly for productivity. My priority is reading emails / customer service and listing product. It's going to be used mainly for e-commerce business.
if i use this TV just for PC gaming and movies/series and put it further back on my desk(80cm depth) will the pixel density be better?
Thank you, great review!
I Have a question about using this TV as
a monitor. If I have a GPU that has only HDMI 2.0 (not the new 2.1), I
will only get 4k 120hz chroma 4:2:0 correct?
But what about 1440p @ 120hz with HDMI 2.0, Can I get the chroma 4:4:4?
So 4k @ 120Hz is possible over HDMI 2.0, but we don't test this so we can't say for sure if it works or not. The same applies to the 1440p @120Hz.
Got the c1 for computer moneror.
Started my job from being a student some years ago.
So i went all out. I usally go budget.
With the 3000 card has hdmi 2.1. so iget all that.
I did notice a blue tint on a angle. slight. I read it's to see what panel you have. It's only noticeable wile using paint program or web browsing with beige white background. I just manually turn the tv until i don't see it. it's pretty big so getting a viewing angle is easy.
Got the 48" as well.
HDR raytracing with cyberpunk looks sweet. Like looking thru a window almost. Almost. Only get 70fps with the 3070ti i got
Keep at it, you'll become less camera shy as you see yourself on camera more and more often.
The noticeable difference is that the C1 now supports dolby vision for gaming 4k120hz unlike the CX
Olh'ó portuga a fazer a review! Nice vid
I've been doing this for 9 years. Went to OLED 3 years now. Not a hint of burn in.
Have cx 48". Brilliant, no bezel multi screen with windows power toys fancy zones.. this will be native in win11. Also, need a good graphics card. You also get fantastic speaker for a monitor, not so great for a tv, but for a monitor great.
Hi bro
Could you please compare for me U4021QW vs LGC1 48 inch?
Also could you please comment on the glare and reflection for both when used as a monitor to edit code (where the eidtor is oure black in background)
thanks!
This is far more versatile compared to ANY PC monitor. I'd choose this any given day.
nice hat with the shield Portugal :)
I'm debating on whether to get the LG G1 or the Sony XR A90J 🤔 I love the A90J but heard that the G1 is a better TV for gaming.
Yup. For movies and TV as a priority go Sony. But for gaming go LG.
But I'd go LG either way because Sony is crazy expensive.
Can you guys please tell me what is EU Model for the TCL 6 Series…please please please.
My c1 is on the latest update and I can't see total power on time in TV information.
Any help appreciated
Trying very hard to hold my impulse of buying this tv as my monitor. I will wait for the 48 inch 8k model
Yes, absolutely yes...the instantaneous pixel response time is worth everything if you are thinking to buy it for gaming.
I agree! One of the biggest improvements I noticed coming from high end QLEDs…no more blurry VA smearing, or ghosting/inverse ghosting, etc.
It truly is nice to have good/fluid motion, when gaming.
The only downside is the more inherent/perceivable stutter in LFR content. Tbh, it doesn’t even bother me tho. I actually prefer to see the stutter, than see the artifacts and SOE introduced by MCFI. I’m just the type of person who likes the cinematic 24p cadence of films.
Should I get this for my bedroom for entertainment use only? I already have two monitors for my computer.
If you feel like it meets your needs, then absolutely. It's a great overall TV so you should enjoy it (especially if you'll be using it in dark/dim room).
I had not considered the apparent "lower" resolution when sitting at slightly further than normal monitor distances.
I'm looking for sharp text in games like StarCitizen.
What do you mean?
@@testplmnb i watched a review where they said the apparent rez when sitting close to the "TV" monitor gave the impression it was 1080p due to being able to see the pixels...
...Just what they said...I have not seen text on the 48" OLED myself.
Another thing they noted was the auto brightness kicking in and out when white windows were opened and resized.
Too much white caused it to dim.
In related news, Linus has a review where he was "hacking" the TV with a technician version of the remote...attempting to adjust the auto dim "feature".
@@VonSpud hmmm. Well the pixel density ia equivalent to 24/1080, but at the same time it's equivalent to 32/1440p and LG 32GK850 was highly recommended pc monitor when released, even if it had that pixel density.
@@testplmnb if the 48" was a bit cheaper O may have bought it anyway.
I really like the two Oled TV's we have not used gir the PC. (55 b7 & 65 Cx)
I ended up getting 3 x 4k 28" Acer Zeroframe last month...in Back4Blood my 1080gtx plays triple screen around 30frames which is great right now.
Does it turn on automatic when you start your pc?
Hello, what is the difference between OLED48C18PS, OLED48C1PSA and OLED48C15PS? Thank you.
It's most likely just regional differences or retailer specific codes to avoid price matching. The key part you want to look for is that it includes "C1" which they all do.
I just bought the Hisense U8G but I'm debating if I should return it and spend the extra money and get a OLED.
Hisense is a junk compared to LG.
Hi Rtings!
So, a new round of burn in tests would be appreciated.
What I suggest:
20/7 'average brightness' setting
TV1: CNN only
TV2: Console gaming only
TV3: HDR Movies with subtitles
TV4: Fully randomized TV watching
TV5: PC monitor usage
TV6: An equal mixture of all of the above
TV7: Same as TV6 but with lower brightness setting.
TV8: Same as TV6 but with max brightness setting.
This would be the ultimate burn in test. Featuring real use case scenarios. Of the most recent OLED TVs since the B6 and B7 tests. That are now outdated. Possibly using 48" C1s (minding the 2 panel types of course).
An 'evo' panel C1 could be thrown in as TV 9, featuring the same content as TV 6.
Hey Lucas! Thanks for the suggestion. We're actively discussing another burn-in test internally, so we will absolutely pass your suggestion on :)
@@RTINGSdotcom All right, thanks!
As someone eyeing a 48" C1, and having reasearched as much as I could, on the subject of burn-in, I still feel like I don't have much of an idea of how durable I can expect one to be.
I am decided on this purchase regardless, so new tests from Rtings are really too late for me. But it is clear new tests are needed.
1. Because the current generation of OLEDs since the B8 has not been tested. Enlarged red pixel, and perhaps other improvements.
2. Because the methodology of the previous tests from Rtings, could use a move towards more realistic varied content. To really give people a better idea of what to expect out of an OLED these days.
My suggestion, in regards to the TVs and their content aims to separate each main use case into a separate TV.
Stuff I do with TVs / Monitors, (non OLED):
Everything... TV channel surfing; A lot of Globo News on the background with low volume while I do other things, which has red static imagery on par with CNN; Plenty of movie watching with subtitles; Netflix on standby; A lot of gaming, a lot of it the same game. And naturally I want the C1 to be my PC monitor.
And while I know that I should avoid static images and plan to babysit my own TV, and use it on a dark room. I still would like that the test from Rtings feature the things I will avoid, such as:
Using the TV in max brightness, watching CNN style news channels, forgetting Netflix on standby, using icons and taskbar on Windows, and pouring countless hours on the same game with its static hud elements. (War Thunder)
In addition to doing things that are considered ok, and that I will not avoid:
Watching movies in HDR or SDR, always with subtitles, in a very dark room, and watching TV every now and then. (Not CNN)
As such, these are the afforementioned use cases I think should be tested:
TV1: CNN only.
The good old red pixel killer we know and love. But without the need for a separate TV playing CNN max. brightness this time.
TV2: Gaming.
Console gaming / PC gaming / HDR gaming, I guess there is not a whole lot of difference.
However I now feel the need for a TV that displays only the same game, with notable static elements. Instead of varied gaming behaviour.
I add another TV then to my suggestion: TV2b. 😬
TV3: Movies with subtitles.
Should people dread subtitles? Is what this one would aim to find out. Movie viewing will mean HDR, so I guess that is unescapable.
TV4: Fully randomized TV watching
Turn it on, and change the channel mindlessly and without bias, on a given period of time. Every 5 minutes or so.
Why this content for the test? In theory, a TV displaying varied content should not experience much in the way of burn in. This would put this to the test. Again, like with the Rtings B6 test.
TV5: PC monitor usage
This test would aim to show the relation between burn-in and desktop usage. Windows taskbar, desktop icons, forgotten open windows, photoshop and similar work, internet browsing, internet shopping, non fullscreen youtube, a not too agressive desktop wallpaper perhaps, etc. The PC equivalent to the CNN test. Run in PC MODE with 4-4-4.
TV6 and beyond, like explained before. A bit of everything, even CNN. With lower and higher brightness on 7 and 8.
TV9 being either a C1 with evo, or downright G1. If deemed needed.
Making it 10 TVs. Which I know is a lot. Anyways, that was only my suggestion, I trust you guys to come up with the best test criteria.
any heavy gamers mmorpg etc? wonder how 10 12 hours per day of ultra heavy gaming deals with burn ins?
I am not sure if the UK version is the same as the one in the video.
which is OLED48C1PUB, whilst the one in the UK it is OLED48C14LB.
Yes, performance wise they should be the same. Typically, the last few digits change slightly to differentiate between regions/tuners/retailers but that’s it!
If only they would release such a panel in 27/32" (16:9) and 35/38" (21:9) formats...
They did, they are asking over 4k $ for the oled 32" lol
@@wolf6gc72 Yeah, should've added: for consumers. The 32EP950 is "for professionals".
Actually you can force ultrawide resolutions via GeForce Panel. It will have black bars top and bottom, but because it's OLED they are perfect black shut off. Also because the TV is so big, the space showing the ultrawide resolution is bigger than pretty much all of the ultrawide monitors.
@@Nick-dq6en Yeah, I'm aware of that. Unfortunately 48" physically does not fit on my desk. Even if it did, it will be too close and have worse DPI. You'll be moving away to compensate. I would much rather have a 38" 3840 x 1600 OLED,
@@DoubleYouPee1 I plan to mount mine on a VESA wall mount full motion, move my desk several feet back. Otherwise It's quite big, yeah.

Hi, NOBODY has noticed the issues about the TEXT CLARITY as the PC monitor and the Yellow color blurry that people have found and RTINGS has confirmed on the 48CX LG? Does it mean that all OLED panels, whatever year have the same issue or maybe the more recent LG panels or some Brand have fixed this with the inhouse setup, please? RTINGS "We received reports of the TV displaying vertical red lines when there are solid areas of yellow and green. This happens when the TV is in 'PC' mode and displaying chroma 4:4:4. Even though putting it out of 'PC' mode to display 4:2:2 helps reduce the issue, it makes text more blurry. We still recommend leaving the TV in 'PC' mode to get clear text, but you may notice these red lines." BTW I've tested it on my 65C8 and it is confirmed. Makes even the text clarity worst and some artifacts in colored logos (yellow, green, red even etc).
You didn't mention multiview especially since it's a monitor review
Are you guys going to be reviewing the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U 43"? Would be great to see what you guys think of it.
It's currently up on our Suggestion Tool here: www.rtings.com/monitor/suggestions
Make sure to vote if you'd like to see us test it :)
I am typing this on a FV43U right now. I'll be returning it. Dead pixels plus it's a fairly bad quality LCD panel. Poor grey uniformity + scrolling around is either really streaky or if you turn overdrive on it overshoots pretty far the other way.
I picked up a Trio of them for a Gaming surround setup and while they are somewhat decent from what i came from, the Viewing angles are rather poor as well as they run very warm, like 95-100degrees warm when testing with an IR gun on the back top panel. I also seem to have a bad time with the display refusing to show an image which requires a power cycle on the remote if im swapping between inputs on one of the displays ( IF you dont cycle all 3 at once, some wont come back and will remain as "no input" ) So these 3 will be going back and will likely be picking up 3x C1's
I heard a rumor that the 42” ones coming out will be brighter. They will be cut from the new “EVO” panels. Is this true?
Honestly I wish we had any news on the 42. Announced beginning of year then went silent
@@zergslayer69 its out, c2 priced at 1650 EUR. Just bought my c1 48'' before it runs out of stock. (byebye c2 $$$$$)
It's being treated as a monitor review, and you didn't compare it to comparable actual monitors? You really should have casual mentions of price and relative performance to something besides another TV, whether the BFG displays, or even a gaming grade 24-30' monitor. like the Odyssey or an Asus
If Samsung enabled 120Hz and VRR in their high end 48” mini LED TV it would be a compelling option to.
ill wait for the LG 42 inch OLED to come out and ill get that
I feel like i'm the only one using one of these that's very dissatisfied.
it's such a beautiful panel but i can't enjoy colors with brightness this low, SDR is a nightmare cause of it. not to mention the contant dimming on large white object giving me a headache, it happens so impressively sudden, in order to have nice brightness even in a dark room multiple settings have to be turned on (Which intoduces insane input lag), after writing a document and suddently going into a youtube page the brightness shoots up from 20 to 100 in a fraction of a second. and turning off settings in the Service menu seems to be the only way to fix it.
it's also made game mode so hard to use on things like the PS3 and 360, i'm not nearly impressed enough by the colors to make putting up with brightness like this worth it, it's hard for me to be impressed by them, again, purely cause of the brightness.. I feel like it's such a waste of such a nice panel in these cases.
Especially in game mode i find the brightness so low without any of the settings like dynamic contrast turned on, i mainly do things in SDR. Maybe once every 3 days i'll turn on something that uses HDR, in those cases it looks good. Then again not nearly as mind blowing as everyone claims it is.
Really expected a lot more, all these claims of it being "the best TV for gaming" and all the fancy logos on the box seem to forget that most content isn't HDR.. in the week i've had it it's been constant dissapointment, headaches and menu's. after the initial wow factor wore off.
May I ask you people who use c1 or cx as gaming monitor, how far is it from your sitting position?
i'd say right now i'm 120cm from the screen. i'm using the browser in a 2560x1440p window too, which is exactly 32", not fullscreen.
@@GraveUypo Thank you
Whats power cosumation as monitor?
Sadly this Tv size aint available in my country
Otherwise its a day one purchase for me
Please do an QN90A 50 inch Review
I've used a B8 55 inches as monitor for two years now. No signal of burn in at all. The screensaver is set for 2 min and the auto hide task bar is enabled.
What do you do with things like for example the top of web browser?
@@petrkinkal1509 You can go full-screen in the browser using F11.
Dont forget, turn down OLED brightness down to say 25?
@@Batman-bh6vw I know that, just doesn't help when you frequently switch between tabs.
@@petrkinkal1509 use a dark theme, turn pixel shitfting and logo protection on and don't use browses in fullscreen. you probably won't even WANT to use full screen browsers beucase the screen is so vast.
What’s your thoughts on the X85J as a monitor
I just bought one a couple weeks ago and returned it. It is a great monitor if you run it at 60Hz. However, I bought it since it promised 4K@120Hz, and if you do that the image quality degrades really badly. Like - if you draw a straight horizontal black line the X85J will draw pixels above and below the line as well. It's really bad and makes text hard to read. So if you can't run it at 120Hz, what is the point?
There is no monitor that even comes close at any price. If you want to do colour grading work, youll have a specialist monitor anyway, for everything else, the c1 is mind blowing. I should have done this a long time ago...
A doubt? The Lg C1 runs at 4K 120@ on an NVidia 2000 series GPU ??? Same as Lg CX
Only the RTX30 series cards have the required HDMI2.1 output.
Time for you to start saving. :)
@@trickyrat483 and the new AMD cards. Btw, good luck running 4k 120 on anything lower than a 3080 for non competitive games. A 4080 will probably be better suited for the task, which should be out at the end of next year.
Did they ever update it so the you can turn off the ABL?
it's always been able to be turned off but it's a service menu setting, it likely won't be updated in as they put it there very purposefully.
So it's not worth replacing a CX with a C1?
Overall, we think there isn't enough of a difference to justify upgrading from the CX if you've already got one!
I am using 48c1 as pc monitor
Wait can I turn off the automatic dimming ? I just bought this & I'm worried it is going to shift lighting.
As far as I know you cannot disable it. I would be interested if you find a way to, I may be considering this display in the future.
Yes with a service controller u can
I love oleds but they seem not to be bright enough for living rooms with big windows.
Not nice in bright living room
Very true. Invest in nice curtains to help, or led is generally better for bright rooms.
Yeah qled fits such rooms better
I have mine in a dark lit room where its ideal setup.
Definitively fits better in a Home Theatre than Living Room, though at night it should be fine
The first sub 40" OLED is going to replace my monitor. 48" is insane to have on a desk.
LG 32EP950
@@credoTI 144hz?
I have a big desk, and its corner based, but i still worried the size wiuld be too much. It isnt, and its so much better than anything else ive seen.. Id never go back. I have a Sony 65 at the other end of the room with it's ps5... But the Sony is shuffling nervously since the c1 arrived, and my ps5 has sarted looking at my PC's with jealousy....
They'll be releasing a 43" version of this next year ( early 2022 ) if you can still wait.
Buy bigger desk. Problem solved. Or mount on the wall. One who wants to solve the issue always finds a way. One who doesn't want to solve always finds a reason.
Hi, Do you think that with brightness at 0 or almost 0 it can appear burnt working in windows? I work with brightness 0. Thanks
Hey Jonathan, are you asking if decreased brightness will lead to burn in? Or are you just worried about how dark it'll be? We just double checked for you, and having the brightness at 0 actually doesn't look bad at all, especially if you plan on using it in a darker environment!
@@RTINGSdotcom Thanks for answering. I work with brightness 0, I want to know if with brightness 0 I can avoid burning the panel.
This tv can hanger??
The OLED + smaller size is a perfect combo, but the *Permanent Burn-In* risk is too big for such a high priced TV, and all the measures to prevent it just changes drastically the way you use your own PC/Desktop.
You would _always_ worry abt 'when' you'll start seeing the damage. Not worth the stress/anxiety.
BULLSHIT
Yet another review where no one mentions the gridding problem on these TV's. Seems to effect almost all LG OLEDs produced after mid-2020 as well.
Xplain dat shit then
Damn that sdr brightness is low. Full screen brightness should be at least 220 nits before I would consider using it. I tried using HDR in windows desktop, but I'm not a big fan of that. That stand is also useless on a desk, I would need to invest in a good quality vasa mount. What can be quite expensive. But then again, when buying such expensive tv/monitor I don't want it to be e-waste after 5 years and I don't want to have to babysit the panel. In my country LG doesn’t provide the extra 5 years warranty. If they themselfs don’t trust their products to last why should I?
Is that transition music made from an 808?
I’ve been using a 55” C7 for my PC monitor at 4K resolution for the past few years and I have no regrets
😊 definitely you need to sit further away from the screen but it just looks so good!
I don’t see myself going back to a PC monitor except maybe for high refresh rate gaming…😂 but TVs nowadays have 120Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution so that ain’t half bad👍
Jesus! The input lag on the C7 is insane, you are a true soldier!
@@2Drip007 21ms is the C7’s input lag in game mode, but now I see the C1 has input lag of just 10ms😝 maybe time to change 🤪
@@abdhayy the C7 is fine for my Xbox but my main PC is connected to the B9.
@@abdhayy Definitely change before you will notice burn-in. Just sell your old tv and let someone else deal with the burn-in crap.
@@Truth12345 would the C1 be a good candidate for that change? 😄
Is the 42" still coming?
Yeah, it's coming this fall/before the end of the year
What about a 55 inch C1 or G1?
It's great too but the ppi is less and you have to sit further if you want it as a pc monitor the 48 inch is better but still some want a slightly smaller one with same specs.
Which is better for gaming 48 or 55?
We expect them to perform similarly, so whichever size you prefer would be fine!
@@RTINGSdotcom Which one would you prefer?
Can you please do this with the 42 inch C2?
We actually just started testing the 42” C2 today as the unit we purchased finally arrived 👀
Waiting for the 42 inch to come out
What are the differences between the 48" and the 65"?
pixel density and screen size??
@@Killswitch1411 thats it?
@@GeorgeWPush Idk the main features of the tv will be exactly the same if its the same model.. pixel density will be worse on a larger screen if you plan on viewing at closer distances.
These are a really great price on Amazon right now. Under $800 USD. If you're buying this for media and gaming mostly, burn-in can be avoided. I'd stay away from it if you us it mostly for spread sheets and editing.
Boné tuga?
When 42" OLED comes out i will use it as monitor asap, fuck crappy lcd monitors
I still don't understand to this day why LG doesn't release normal OLED PC monitors in smaller sizes and resolutions, there would be soooo many people desperate to buy them. I would get a 31" 1440p 144-180hz like instantly. As long as it doesn't cost as much as a 4K OLED TV, of course.
