I’ve been using the 42” LG C2 OLED for the last 3 weeks after switching from the 27” LG GP950 UltraGear monitor. They both offer 4K, 120Hz, VRR, ALLM and HDMI 2.1. But which is the better gaming monitor?
Today I will put them head to head in telling you which I think is best and why. Including the size, reflections, picture quality, input lag and features.

@bilbobaggins7527 2 года назад

Great video and explanation of why you prefer your PC monitor over the C1 however for me PC gaming never completely satisfied me until I switched from my 27" PC gaming monitor to the 48" C1 as a PC monitor...now my PC gaming experience is like my console gaming experience but without having to choose between fidelity mode vs performance mode. I love gaming on the C1 so much...it reminds me of my 10 year old 64" Samsung plasma but with better specs. 3 years ago I had switched my console gaming from the plasma to a 64" 4k HDR LED however now I moved both my PS5 and switch dock from the TV room to my desk, so all my gaming is in one location. Sitting closer to the 48" C1 (in addition to it's superior picture quality and specs) makes up for going from a 65" TV to a 48" TV... I point that out because screen size was the motivating factor why I switched from a 27" PC gaming monitor to a 48" TV used as a PC monitor, so it sounds as if I am contradicting myself by going from a 65" to a 48" TV.

I've been using 43" 4K TVs as computer monitors since 2016. I think it's the sweet spot for 4K monitor use. My current TV is the Samsung Q60R 43". I tried the 43" QN90B, but fuzzy text and motion blur was a deal breaker. I'm now waiting for some reviews of the new Sony X85K 43". The LG 42" OLED is on my list, but I'm concerned about burn-in which ruined my 55" LG OLED a couple years ago. Great video, mate!!

Great video and break down of the pros and cons of the C1 TV vs the LG UltraGear PC monitor and why you personally prefer the PC gaming monitor over the C1 TV. 2 months ago I switched from a MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD 27" 1440p IPS 165Hz gaming monitor to a 48" C1 TV and I love it!!! My PC gaming experience is now like console gaming but without having to choose between fidelity mode vs performance. I do not play multiplayer so 120 fps is enough for me...what I love about the C1 are the size and quality of the picture. I love gaming on the C1 so much that I moved both my PS5 and switch dock from my 65" 4k HDR LED in the tv room to my desk, so now all my gaming is in one location. btw - I use a very large harvest dining room table as my desk so I have plenty of space for such a large monitor.

@__improwise__ 2 года назад

Thanks for a nice review. The key to succes doing FPS gaming on a TV like the C2 is to use a customer resolution and disable scalling so that it don't fill up the entire screen. Now, it will mean a bit lower resolution but no need to head turning to see that AWP guy hiding in Dust :) You can also use something like LG Companion to automatically wake the monitor and put it to sleep as the computer does the same thing. That also solves the problem of the remove turning on all LG TVs in the room.

@nerdstrangler4804 2 года назад

FYI a lot of games will let you move the UI elements closer to the center of the screen, just in case you weren't aware. You can typically do so by "adjusting the safe zone" in the settings or something similar. I think it is meant to compensate for overscan on old TVs, which is why it is called that. But it effectively just moves the UI elements closer to the center. Some games allow you to move it closer than others, but it is always worth doing if you find yourself struggling to see the UI. Also other games might just have straight up UI adjustment settings, either way, always worth looking through the settings.

I've been using a 4k 40" Samsung TV as a monitor for about 3 years now and I completely agree with your assessment about playing FPS games on such a big TV. I will often end up running FPS games in window mode at 2560x1440 instead of full screen just so I can see everything.

@mouzz Год назад

do you lose image quality or anything similar running in a small window on a big monitor ?

@zf4120 Год назад

@@mouzz Not really. As long as the desktop resolution used is the native resolution for the monitor, it's still a 1:1 pixel ratio in there window and looks fine. Newer games are taking wide monitors into account and often provide easy ways to adjust field of view which makes full screen work better on these large monitors.

Would definitely not recommend for any distance closer than that

That's exactly what I did. The LG 48" C1 2021 model is about $900. After Nov 2022, the LG 42" C2 should be considerably marked down in price. And by that time, competitors will have their own OLED models out for XMAS.

The unspoken advantage with the C2 with PC is the ability to game in windowed/borderless windowed mode. Just game at 1440p windowed mode if fullscreen at 4k is too big. You'll also have extra screen real estate for other apps like browser and other utilities. You really can't do this with a tiny 27" 4k screen since it's too small!

@surject 2 года назад

I don't understand either why people never get this... If it weren't for the reflections I would have bought and mounted it to an arm ages ago - that way you can move it a bit closer for 4x21" productivity or fully extend the arm for sim games with desk-mounted joysticks while sitting further away or move it far back for 2K borderless (or fullscreen non-scaled/non-interpolated) FPS gaming... - owner of a 65" C9 and EIZO S-PVA monitors. Edit: You can also play ultrawide 32:9 (3840x1080) in the bottom and run Discord and OBS and whatever in the upper part ofc...

Awesome video! I recently upgraded from a 27” to 32” monitor and I can say that at the beginning it felt too big but as weeks went by, 32” is the perfect sweet spot. It’s a shame that LG’s OLED monitor is crazy bunkers expensive but is not intended for gaming. Hopefully there’s an upgraded Ultra Gear OLED soon down the road.

I just recently switch from a 50 inch tv to a 27 inch monitor and it’s a night an day difference and I gotta say I enjoy gaming on my monitor more for story games and FPS just feel so much smoother playing a on a monitor

@sullyy2k1 Год назад

I have a C2. It needs to be mounted flat on the wall really, Also, my desk is about 60cm deep. But for me, it's perfect. It's just so beautiful. My 4k monitor with HDR looks nowhere near as good as this screen. Also, that display was 144hz and this is 120hz. I don't know how or why, but the frame rates are just so much smoother. Maybe thats a HDMI 2.1 vs Display Port thing... Those blacks do ALOT for image quality/clarity. I completely understand those who think it's too big though. It won't be to everyone's taste. But if you feel like you would enjoy this, you will most definitely not be disappointed.

@octob3r-4l-60 Год назад

I have a 24" monitor and already looks big.. the c2 would be too big and i would have to rotate my head around losing all the focus. My actual monitor has a 1080p tn panel so i think the gp950 will be more than enough for me. I don't mind oled for a gaming monitor and the reflections for me are a big point so i'll go for it without regrets. Ips vs oled differences are always the same and not a news anymore. Nice video tho, complete in all its parts well put together 👍🏼

@thefury4815 2 года назад

I got a 32" 1440p 165hz ips lg monitor that down samples 4k 60hz to 1440p and an LG CX 65" TV and I 100% prefer a monitor. Something about being close to the screen makes me way more into a game and look for the smaller details in them. For my setup 32" is a little to big and I'll probably go with a 27" when 4k 144hz monitors are more affordable. I honestly couldn't care less about the 4k part as I play everything in performance mode but I want vrr badly

If you are going back to your 27" gp950, can I have your 43" C2 please?? Haha but seriously, great video! Your content is always on point. These types of comparisons are super helpful for dudes that change their setups all the time like me.

@FZMStudio 2 года назад

This comparison is exactly the same situation I have. The Aorus 43" 4K 144hz monitor is excellent yet despite how good it is I prefer my LG 27" 4K 60hz monitor as I mostly play FPS games. So the 43" Aorus is going in the living room and it looks perfect here 💯

@kaiichinose9590 2 года назад

I have the aorus fv43 currently for my pc console set up. I love this monitor but have been heavily debating switching it to the lg 42 c2. I absolutely love oleds and it being and inch smaller and the all around frame being smaller I might pull the trigger. I have a wide and very deep desk and use controller 80 percent of the time. I'm surprised you play fps titles at 60fps and not higher. It's hard for me to play fps at anything below like 90 but 60 is perfect for everything else. I might sell the aorus and scoop up the lg in the fall sales. I just love the contrast and clarity of oled but the qled panel in the aorus is damn good and doesn't get enough credit. Even has a remote so I don't have to fiddle with the knob.

@AwSomeNESSS 2 года назад

Found another Rebirth lover. Best game-mode in years, much more like multiplayer but yet has the competitiveness of a traditional BR. Surprised more games haven't tried that concept yet. One thing I would suggest if you get your hands on a HDMI 2.1 PC and try gaming on the C2 with the 21:9 mode for competitive gaming. punching in at eye level would make for a comparable size to the 27" while adding a bit more FOV.

@AwSomeNESSS 2 года назад

@Garrus Vakarian yeah definitely, or see if there was a 1:1 pixel mapping and just use a custom res. OLED opens up multiple possibilities cause of the self-emissive pixels

@Scottio 2 года назад

Use a Gigabyte M32U here. 32", 4K@144htz over DP 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K@120hz, 1x DP 1.4 port and a USB-C port for my Mac, 32" is the sweet spot for me and this display has been awesome since I got it and now the PS5 has VRR this display is even better! Would recommend looking into it.

@josuad6890 Год назад

The thing with smaller screen is you can VESA mount it and literally move it closer to your eyes, and it'll take up more of your vision. So even 27" panel can get more "immersive" this way. A bigger screen on the other hand, requires you to have a bigger desk if you want it to look smaller. But assuming that screen size don't matter, well, OLED is the way to go. It's simply a superior tech overall.

@alkaholic4848 Год назад

You might get more eye strain that way though. The further away something is the less the muscles inside your eyeball have to stretch the lens in the front of your eye to focus it.

@archenemy7 2 года назад

I totally agree about the relevance of the kind of games you play. I've tested many monitors for my PC setup, and ended buying a 48 C1. I have a pretty big desk, and got my C1 wall mounted, so distances are not really an issue. After all this monitors, and being able to confirm that (i) I don't play online very often and (ii) I play mostly RPG, racing, fighting and story driven games, the 48" C1 became the "forever monitor". And if I want to play on the couch, I go to my 55" C1. With that TV setup I can move my consoles from my living to my desk and back. I am now convinced that my "forever monitor" is not gonna be there forever, but only until the 42" C2 arrives to my country, but has been a superior partner. Great review and approach mate. Keep it up!

Hi Spawnpoiint, thank you for making such a high quality video. if your desk is bigger where you can further enough from the c2 42 tv, Will it be perfect to play fps on it? Cuz I'm thinking about buying a 42' c2 and i play both competitive fps and storymode game. Since it's too big on a normal desk, i'm thinking about whether it helps to get a bigger desk to enjoy both fps and single player games.
