Give someone a brick of gold and they will complain that it’s too heavy..this monitor is pure heaven❤️

[rkwjunior]

I got 3 of these for my Sim Racing Rig. They are unbelievable.

First time viewer. I know I'm still going to use another monitor along side the c3 or the 48GQ. The smaller monitor for the upclose work, and then the larger monitor for a steam big picture mode experience and will only be used for gaming and watching movies and shows. So this video has actually been perfect for helping me to choose between the 2 screens. Honestly one of the biggest things that's making me go towards the C3 is literally the remote and the processor speed. The C2 here is £999 the C3 is £1400 and the monitor is also £1400 all for the 48" screens. I actually think I will spend the extra and go with the C3. The OC doesn't really bother me nor does the anti-glare as I already use a reasonably darkend room.

So glad I watched your video. I have already ordered this at the low price of $699 + tax. It's a steal at this price point compared to the 48 c series at $1k+. But you just warned me that it may trip my circuit breakers in my old nyc home. It's in transition so I'll have to get it and see how it performs. I'll be using it as a display for console gaming form the couch with the pc hooked up to it as well. 8 months later and I can say thanks for the video.

my lg 48 ultragear hit the bricks because it was defective, loved it, got a c4 and im satisifed but i hate how glossy/shiny the c4 panel is where it reflects light easier compared to the ultragear

[jiasc]

thanks for a great video. i ordered mine today.

[seyahtan]

Planning on getting this. I want a big ass oled monitor for gaming. This is right my alley since I only play single player games. I know this isn't good for competitive shooters.

[SADISTIC_VETRAN]

This monitor is for people that want a TV that performs like a monitor.

[oldtimer]

I bought the lg c3 55 inch. Got it for the same price as the lg 48inch ultragear. At this point i dont think one should even buy the monitor since both of them function almost the same unless you want a display port switch. Im so glad i went with the tv instead of the monitor. $200 cheaper plus good speakers and i still get to use it when i dont feel like turning on my pc

[manuchaves]

excellent monitor but the lg cx, c1 and c2 beat this monitor and it is because of the hgl technology.
literally hgl is superior to hdr and if you have games that don't support hdr, hgl converts sdr as if it were hdr superior.
example metro exodus supports hdr and it looks good when you play it in hdr but when you change the game to sdr converted to hlg the image quality is beastly, it literally changes a lot and looks much better, it hurts that the monitor is not compatible with hgl.

[antionejones]

Mine on the way $699 was a deal i couldn't pass for a oled 4k it was the best deal i saw on black Friday

[SetUSMC]

I bought the Ultragear 45 last night. I went into the store intending to buy the C3. I am upgrading from a CX. I hated the Ultragear 1440p ish compared to my CX 4k! I already have the Ultragear boxed back up, I will get the 48 C3. I understand the Ultragear monitor is 240hz comparex to 120hz on the C3. But i just couldn't stand the WAY worse picture quality in ny games. Save your money, get a C3.

[SleepyCameras]

So, what do you think you'll go with instead? the 48 LG C2 is still a good option, though it sounds like you could be leaning towards the AW3423DW

[bracholi]

"You have to move you neck"

People with a triple monitor setup 2x27" with center 32": 😍 Less neck movement!?!

[TheXxRomeexx]

What about the agressive dimming in productivity/gaming/movies? Since you can't turn it off it is an issue or you can't notice it? Ppl said it does dim while gaming while others said it doesn't dim. Even Rtings say "brightness fluctuates between scenes" but if it's just a "monitorized" c2 it is an issue with that too or they just amped it up in the monitor? I would buy this over a c2 because i don't need TV features and don't like glossy screens at all but i can't decide.

[wagimax]

Perfect monitor for everything. Best decision ever to replace my 2 x 24".

[MaadParkUpdates]

I'm stuck. Right now that monitor is at 699.99 and I'm contemplating buying it. Right now I have a 3 monitor setup, one being a TV that is 42" that I can definitely move up to 48". I don't really use the TV apps, and if I wanted to I could always hook up an apple tv to the monitor and I would definitely benefit from the anti glare. What would you recommend in my case?

[kenwolf]

You need to test the LG C3 oled where do you get the gaming remote for the LG's thanks

[DavidOlea-xbyo]

Does it give you eye fatigue or headaches. How is the picture on blue light too cool or what
