I've been using this TV as a monitor for 1 year. I use it daily on Windows for 3D modeling, architecture and gaming. Overall I am very happy with it. The OLED holds its reputation as an amazing panel. I did a ton of research before buying it, however, after one year of use, I realize any of the reviews mentioned the weakest point on this TV. It is not auto dimming (I use mine at 20% brightness just fine), not burn-in (dark mode looks amazing), not the screen size (I want a bigger one lol). The bad part that no one talks about is: the subpixel layout on this TV creates a NOTICEABLE edge around green and yellow colors! If you work on things like websites with white background and then choose a bright green or yellow accent color for your design, that edge really shows and you will be frustrated.

I just purchased this tv for work. I do not do any gaming, but having the large screen for multiple windows, crisp text, and bright colors is a game changer.

I just got an OLED TV, and using it as a monitor as well. So far I love it and have very little complaints

RESPECT! ✊🏾

Scored two 42" C2 for $799 each for me and my wife. Her job switched to two days a week in-office hybrid and mine just went full-time remote. Working on a 42" screen is the BIGGEST productivity game changer EVER!

If you have a 30 series or 2.1 hdmi - get this - it's unreal in immersion - and I use it as a software engineer and split windows in fours, it's like have four screens, works awesome and looks amazing!

[andyackerman]

It’s my everything, mounted on the bunk window of my semi truck. I use it for TV and console gaming, and intend to use it when I get my next laptop

[micktheknife]

I'm actually planning on picking one up after work today. Great video, thanks!

[Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

Love my C2 since it launched. I need a PC/Console display that will not disappoint in gaming, when it comes to gaming features and colors/HDR. The thing that I really love about it is the lack of matte coating...Gloss is Boss!

I have the 65" version for my PS5 and main Media usage. I'm planning to get a 42" for my main PC rig as well. Thank you for this informative video.

After trying to play 4k off my 3080 12GB from my 65", I'm ditching my duel monitor 1440p setup as this TV will make my setup look a lot cleaner. 1440p even looks great on this TV too if I ever do need to downscale a bit.

[Sideways_Singh]

I use a 65 as a monitor 😂. People used to think 27 was too big back in 2010, then they thought 32 was too big, then 42, then 47, then 55, I'm living in the future where people think 77 is too big for a monitor 😂😂

[unrealdevop]

I didn't really like it at first because I was coming from a curved gaming monitor but after getting used to it and getting the settings tweaked just right it actually looks amazing. By far the best Monitor I've ever used with a Computer. Also, I bought the remote and removed that aggressive auto-dimming crap...it effects color and brightness even when you don't realize it is...it's far too aggressive. They removed the ability to do this on the C3, so don't get the C3 it's basically the exact same thing as the C2, in fact they hid the chip model number on the C3 as well so that people wouldn't know it's the same exact monitor.

[prowlTV]

I am using the C3 55 as a monitor and it's awesome. It's worth noting the newer c2/c3 have a different pixel layout to older OLED and this really counteracted any burn in... but make sure you get 5/6 year warranty.

The walnut accents on the tower...chef's kiss!

I believe that even ALL MIGHT would approve of this message😅! Always make some phenomenal content and are the reason for my last 4 purchases, thank you for being so reliable and genuinely fair with your reviews, it’s helped me out tremendously when it came to solid decision making and not making sporadic choices with needless cost on things that just simply aren’t needed. Have a blessed day sir and know that your doin “the lords work😂” with these super fresh reviews!

[cannyx]

I got a C3 just before Black Friday for about $860 (plus tax). I am using it exclusively as a PC display, paired with an RTX 3080ti. The only issue I've discovered is that if I allow my system to drive the FPS past 119hz the screen goes black. But that only happened when I was trying to use the display in SDR mode, before limiting my 'Max FPS' in the control panel. I'll also note that I've used some 40" TVs for Displays in the past, and as long as I can sit an appropriate distance from the display it's just a large display.

I did it LG 42 C2 Oled Amazon Big Deals Day saved me 300 bucks 😊

[ageng]

Using LG C3 42” with Mac and PC via USB-C to HDMI cables. It allows me to do dual display in smaller 20” equivalent form, but really sharp text.

[JohnSmith-zlrz]

Your macbook pro is the 16 inch? if yes, question: you can put it on the bottom to use it on the bottom of the 42, the 16 won't interferes with the 42? Overall my goal is use the 16 inch and the main monitor and the 42 as secondary, to avoid use external keyboards or mouse.
