Every other monitor is DEAD to me - LG CX OLED 48'

LG's smallest OLED yet, the 48" CX has been hotly anticipated as being both small enough to be used as a big monitor, and, at $1,500, inexpensive enough to consider as a TV upgrade to compliment the new Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 gaming consoles (due to HDMI 2.1 support for 4K 120 gaming).

It was too big to be called a monitor. Too large, too high quality, it was more like a big TV.

Another benefit to using a TV over a monitor that you didn't mention is that you can use window tiling to make the worlfow of a 4K 48" TV identical to four 24" HD TV's without any bezels between them. Great for all of the multi-monitor users.

Plus a lot of modern TV's support Bluetooth, so you can pair your headset to your TV instead of your computer, and when you want to play a console the sound still comes out of your headset without having to reconfigure anything.

Just wanted to let you guys at LTT know that your IKEA lamp to the right of the desk is not constructed correctly lmao

Hey, at 11:43 you mentioned that Game mode ain't as color accurate, it's a bit hidden but actually you can configure the TV in a PC mode which is also input lag-free and have a better color accuracy. To do that, you need to go to the "sources" panel (called my home or something like that), edit HDMI labels and choose the PC icon for the HDMI you're using for the PC. When you do that, picture modes configurations you've made will reset (actually I think it loads a new set for the PC mode, but if you go to HDMI labels and switch back to the previous type it will load your old configs) and now you'll have also slightly different modes and configs if I remember well.

Lol if you play Darksouls in oled tvs, get ready to have the word burn " YOU DIED" ni the middle of the screen.

Got this Tv/Monitor a month ago and wall mounted it, helped with the view distance. So far most games will allow the Black bars or changing the ratio from 16:9 to 16:10(apex) or 21:9 will shrink the image and use a 2550 x 1600 or the like on about 32 inch. I have to say its cheaper than the 38 inch ultrawides and the OLED color and contrast makes many games look much better. I have to say im very happy I went this route . Biggest suggestion is make sure you can wall mount and get that 3 ft from the screen. If you use a smaller resolution and or window mode, most tv mounts pull closer to make up for the smaller image . Sooo GO GET ONE !!

[DarkNightSonata]

all I want is 32" 4K 120hz, with reasonable price, this is just the perfect size for desktop PC

Linus every 2 days: "THIS is the best monitor!!!"

[JustinY.]

That moment when the monitor costs more than 90% of everyone's entire setup here

Just got the 55 inch for my living room. Man this TV was an upgrade from my old LCD tv. Such amazing colors and black and whites.

[kelathos]

I have the feeling that, if one can purchase the hardware necessary to drive a 4k display at high frame rates, then the price of this OLED is likely a non-issue. This is certainly top tier stuff all around. Plus it doubles as your actual TV in a small room. Nice combo there. I'll keep this on my wish list, not that I expect to afford it or the PC that can run games properly on it.
