Great video , after coming from my Pg27uq which can hit 1200nits i thought i would miss all that brightness but to be honest after 1 week with my 42in C2 i am more than happy , i will probably upgrade again once a 42in QD Oled comes to market but until then this 42in C2 is a great gaming monitor for a large desk setup
Man for me 4k for 27 inch is way way too small , i come from a 4k 32 inch and i don t regret one bit going to 42 inch so much more immersive and yes im about sitting away 3,5 feet perfect , but quesiton to you since the pg27uq has more nits do you see a big difference in HDR or is the LG C2 for you same good when it comes to HDR thanks in advance
@@trevormurdok7666 for 90 percent of my games the hdr on the C2 is much , much better , only a couple of games like maybe Farcry 6 and nhl 22 and the Pg27u looks noticeably brighter but the C2 has much better color even in those games , i have them side by side and i still prefer the C2 by far. I will also add something i have not heard many people talk about and thats 1440p gaming on the c2 , 1440p looks better on the C2 than any other monitor i have had , and i mean even 1440p monitors lol , no joke , not sure if the TV is doing some kind of upscaling or what but it looks phenominal !
@@Dx-so7jm thanks man for your answer , really apriciate it., yes the C2 Is just wow i played RESIDENT EVIIL 8 or ORI and the wild of wisps i think i was just wow how good games in HDR looked , i almost went and bought the ASUS PG32UQX wich in my country is 3500 euros. but had blooming and ghosting and the 3 of the price of the LG C2 42 inch so glad i did not bought that monitor .
My takeaway is that the C2 is brighter then the C1 and it's no surprise. Newer Tech by LG put into the C2 makes it that way. I am fine with the brightness of my C1. Great video Chaos as always.
btw, lg has said only the 55" models and up are the "brightest". The 48 and 42" models have a small pixel aperture ratio that limits their light emission. ie, there minimal if any difference between the 48 and 42.
@@steadychaosproductions3376 it wasn’t a attack I mean I have an late c2 48 white edition and I have the new oled evo panel inside. He is very bright and lg hasn’t enough evo panels 2022 Many TH-camr don’t buy tvs they only Test and send them back but I really don’t know how they do that . I’m very happy for the comparison.

Sticking with the C2, have you compared the brightness of, say, the 42" vs the 48"? I'm wondering whether the difference in dot pitch will make a significant (if any) difference in brightness, particularly in the case of using this as a PC Monitor. Thanks!

@@steadychaosproductions3376 Well... I have, and didn't find anything. Which is why I ask. There's plenty of 48C1 vs 42C2 videos, but no 48C2 vs 42C2 vids.

The truth is, this is already OBE, as I ordered the 42" C2 panel yesterday. I was just wondering whether or not there was a difference in brightness between the 42" and the 48" panels of the current generation (C2), sufficient to warrant selecting one over the other.
@@steadychaosproductions3376 thanks for the fast response! My last tv was samsung (43 ru7400) led very budget one :D so i think the lg c2 48" is going to be a good upgrade. I just don't have space for 55" :/
@@bojidardimitrov4361How are you doing with the LG, I have a fairly basic Samsung that reaches a maximum of 400 nits out there, do you think that the LG C2 looks brighter or better, in theory LG 48" inches has more nits over 700nits.
in this video, i test window patterns and their respective brightness. Peak brightness for a 42-48" LG C2 in a 10% window is about 740 or so nits. For an LG C2 TV that is 55" or larger, the peak brightness is closer to 800-850 nits.
750 nits is plenty, lol. Due to the perfect blacks, it creates a considerably more impactful HDR experience in a dark room even if compared to TV's that can reach over 1500 nits of brightness. My current TV hits about 300-400 nits and it's still more than enough for SDR even for daylight viewing (if it's not put against direct sunlight, of course).

Yeah, its not a huge difference...though the 55" and up C2 models are even brighter than the 42"C2.
Thank you for doing this comparison! You don’t know how much this helps lol
The LG c2 48 inch have a better Panel as the 42 and is brighter by the way you should compare same inches!:)
I can only buy so many TVs man, I'm not made of money. I had the 48" C1 which was too big as a monitor, so i downsized to the 42.

yes, most likely.

Absolutely! If only Sony would lend me a model to test.
