Sooooo close to Western release
Yeah. The form factor is a non-starter for me, I don't care how good it looks in certain scenarios.1440p is narrow as f. Has always been.
According to this guy:
Game optimizer mode seriously dimms the screen and he advises against it.
Is this true?
He says he uses some iso preset mode which brightens up the screen. When I get home and have time again I want to test this as my saving grace to keep this display.
But does that mean being outside of game mode we will experience other undesirable things like high input lag?
Can anyone else chime in on what the guy is saying in the video linked above about the C2 brightness in game optimizer mode? Thank you.
You should read a few pages back where I posted measurements between modes from both Rtings and TFTCentral and information regarding this. Game Optimizer is 25-35nits less bright than Standard. You do take a minor input lag penalty for not using Game Optimizer but its only an additional 4-5ms in exchange for a more accurate and slightly brighter picture (ISF/Filmmaker modes) as long as the input is labeled as PC or Gsync is enabled.
TBH I don't think it will really get substantially brighter because the panels are limited by the pixel size relative to the larger models They are really only advertising 900nits on a 3% window but that is a pretty irrelevant window size. 10% and 25% windows may get like 30-50nits improvement over the C2 but I don't imagine bigger window sizes that you consider dim for outdoors games to really see a huge jump.Any idea how much brighter the Asus version can get over the C242?
but isn't Gigabyte being 3 yr.? I thought it's still the same panel from LG? So where did you hear they are only 2 yr. ?Looks like the normal PG series 3 year warranty from Asus does not apply to their OLED's. You get 2 years instead which is still not bad.
I think it will land at $1399 US here. Maybe $1499.
I don't notice any HDR dimming in gaming. Honestly, I have none. In movies though, it is insane and basically unusable, but maybe it is because I switch to Filmmaker mode, instead of GameOptimizer. Too late though to comment because you already sent it back. In any case it is possible to disable the ABL via the service menu.Ah man, I followed tftcentral guide, tried non- game optimizer modes, tried everything for hours, but the serious dimming of brightness ingame is just too hard to bear. It almost hurts my eyes! How the hell do Oleds get the label of being the best HDR Gaming displays! I mean if you are playing dark games only, then yea I agree they are the unbeatable, but godamm, any open world games in bright sunny days ingame is just atrocious to witness on these Oleds. I am sorry if I offend anyone, its just my opinion.
I decided to pack it up and out it goes. I will never again buy an Oled display for HDR gaming until they can sustain high brightness on larger window sizes if microLED isn't available and affordable by then.

For Far Cry 6 I had to lower the OLED Light down to 50, because it was too painfully bright during the daylight. Even at 50, looking directly at the sun is painful. No dimming I noticed, and I think I definitely would, if there were any.
The ABL dims the whole screen, not some parts of it. It must be something else then.Interesting you say this.
I have it side by side still with my Neo G9. Getting ready to put it up for sale. And the C2 dimms considerably for me in open bright areas of the game. It's hard to explain, it's like all the large bright surfaces in game (mountains, rocks, footpaths etc) have a thin transparant black film placed over them on the C2, it maybe hard to notice, or it may not bother some people or they may not even notice it all, but on my NG9 all the same surfaces are bright, vibrant and no loss of detail at all. It's so much more appealing to look at. I just assume the C2 cannot handle keeping these large surfaces bright and lively looking. It maybe just my eyes, but I can seriously discern the difference between the two.
PG48UQ video but in Mandarin
any high-quality HDMI 2.1 will workI'm thinking on buying the 42" LG C2
I have a Gigabyte Vision RTX-3080, can someone please link a good cable for my 3080 connecting to this LG?
Right now I have the AW3420 Ultrawide, using a Display Port cable, but doesn't this LG use some different cable type? Not DP?
No worries, it happens! I'm just glad you're finally starting to see what the thing can do. I was thinking...I've never used the G9, but on paper the C2 should easily compete if not spank in most areas.I feel like a douche bag now.
Um did you even watch the video? The top USB port is right beside the webcam/camera/tripod threaded insert to conveniently attach said accesory without having to dangle a USB cable down. There are other USB ports where the rest of the IO is.there is no way to use those USB 3.0 port. The design is not that good. From that video, that guy is putting a WD Passport at the top, in which it will either drop or dangle from that location. USB port should be on the side, and preferably at the lower half of the side. Having said that, USB Extension is not a deciding factor for me, eventhough my current monitor, I just start using USB 3.0 extension. Worst case, I'll buy myself an USB 3 adapter
That is the dream, but there has been zero mention of it. Apparently Samsung will be releasing a 48" QD-OLED next year.Anyone know if Samsung will make 42" QD Oled in the near future?

Follow tftcentral video guideWhat's the immediate settings to adjust as soon as turning this display on to use as your PC monitor / gaming screen?
Any guides or YouTube videos?
Also what about burn in? Do I need to turn on a screen saver in Windows 11? Currently my desktop just stays on until the monitor goes into sleep mode.
C2 is a better product.Ah fml!
Just got the C2 when i could wait for this
It's really not that bad. I got to see a 48GQ900 at a friends house expecting the worst but it ended up convincing me to buy the PG42UQ when its released.C2 is a better product.
Why go out of your way to buy an OLED, only to buy one that uses an AG coating to completely wash out the blacks.
Thats like, 90% of what makes OLED special.
Hey to each their own, but I think saying AG coating is 'fine' against glossy is like saying 60hz is 'fine' against 120hz.I agree, AG coating is really not that bad at all.

In other words, the only people I've personally met who think it's fine haven't experienced the alternative.
There's rumors of a 49" QD-OLED, but it's yet not confirmed if it's a 16:9 4K TV or a 5120x1440 super ultrawide.That is the dream, but there has been zero mention of it. Apparently Samsung will be releasing a 48" QD-OLED next year.
I just want to see 240hz...
Antiglare coatings are not equal. I don't mind the one on my Samsung CRG9 which is way better than the one I had on a Dell 3008WFP back in the day. A "not too grainy" AG coating can help manage reflections. Obviously it's nice to have a glossy option if you know you can control reflections well.Hey to each their own, but I think saying AG coating is 'fine' against glossy is like saying 60hz is 'fine' against 120hz.
