I don't follow many folks - but your script w/ the down to earth review was really well done, and told me everything I need to know about the C3 in less than 10 minutes. Keep it up man!

I bought this TV about a week back and I swear to god, plugging this into my gaming pc and playing some The Last Of Us on this is truly amazing. Nothing even comes close.

I've had my 42" LG C2 OLED TV as my monitor for just about 12 months now. It's been incredible to not only utilize its screen real estate for multitasking but also gaming on the panel. I've had zero burn-in issues either with all the panel care settings enabled. Probably the best investment I made into my setup by far.

GLOSSY IS THE BEST - TIRED OF DISGUSTING MATE COATING🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 I want to trade my G9 49" for a C3 ASAP !

You've become my new favorite tech channel just by this one video I've seen. The whole presentation was such a vibe and everything you said was valuable and relevant information that so many others would've skipped over. Absolutely fantastic video man

I just replaced my LG CX48 with this beauty today. Might not be much of an upgrade, but you try sitting 24”-30” from a 48” tv. 42” is much nicer. There is a noticeable difference in color vibrancy and HDR quality.

dude i loved your review. i appreciated footage of different use-cases (desktop, movies, gaming, ui scaling, etc) that many reviewers don't show and the comments on the setup/calibration and drawbacks as a monitor specifically.

I have Alienwares Ultrawide QD Oled an i bought this tv and i am even considering using ths TV as my main pc gaming monitor it just looks too beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I love using the Ps5 on it too it just looks jaw dropping.

Great video man. Excellent editing, voiceover, and of course the content and information is superb. 10/10. Subscribed

Just got it under $800 brand new 🔥🔥 first time having an OLED tv and just WOW.... playing it on my PS5 looks stunning 😮‍💨

42 inch will provide same pixel density we all are used to.
The difference here is vertical real estate we get, which is not something we are used to.
So basically you will not need more depth to your workspace, but will need to get used to have more usefull space in vertical axis.
This makes usage uncomfortable for a week or two, but as soon as you get comfortable with navigating your sight vertically - you will love it.

I can't wait to switch to this 42 inch OLED. I`v used 50 inch TV as a monitor before (on a presentation stand behind my desk) and it was amazing experience.
This one is times better in every aspect and will make anyones experience pretty much perfect.

No one EVERRR talks about the fact that AMAZON has Vesa compatible, height adjustable base stands for tv’s of literally all sizes. Makes a world of difference.

Just bought LG C2 42" for my PC 2 weeks ago on sale for $799 and I love it so much. Never regret ❤

[pawebatyra]

I work on 48" C1 and I think it's grea!!! I want to change for 42" C3.

Nice review. Nice production. Answered all the big questions.

Picked up a BB open box with ~800 hours for under $700 with tax. Curiously, it had the screen film still installed. I ran a pixel refresh and put it through uniformity tests: zero burn-in, temp image retention, dead pixels, or any color issues. I do notice a green tint to whites off-angle, similar to the C4. Is this the same panel? It's minor and I only notice if I'm sitting close and looking for it.

I got a c2 42 and this update has better sound formats and upscaling 😍

[scntillatedseed]

Nice! This video helped convince me, the one concern I had was with text but if you're using this for your work I'm guessing you had no issues!

[paul_wiggin]

ABLis actually great for PC usage.
I`v been using regular VA/IPS monitors a lot, and it has annoyed me a lot, when i switch to a white background web page. It just hurts my eyes a lot.
You don't need much brightness for a monitor.

"Why would anyone want a 42 inch TV as a monitor?"

In the words of Step Brothers: "There's so much more room for activities!"

Had the C3 42in since 21 Nov 2023 and its phenomenal. It did take a bit of getting used to coming from 38in+ UW's but having the ability to have more windows open in a single monitor is great for productivity. Would be nice to see LG add a higher refresh rate in this line at the 42in - 48in models since they are popular for PC use.

However, I hate the Lg smart remote. Ended up buying the LG service remote (which can also be used to enable/disable certain settings independently).
