The 42" C2 that Linus JUST installed is great, but it's not a monitor. ASUS has released their PG42UQ based on the same panel, but now with less annoying ABL and proper wake-up functionality. Despite the great display, some things don't quite go according to plan...

@Galiant2010 2 года назад

Then I think about the hours I spent trying to get my Switch to output its audio over bluetooth to my PC because all of my audio gets routed through it and outputs to one device, my headphones. Which normally works fine with the Switch when it's docked but I really wanted to be able to lay back and hold the Switch and get audio through my usual setup instead of having to plug my headphones into the Switch each time. Because I like to watch stuff in the background while I play games. Seriously, think I spent like 7 hours on my day off looking up stuff and trying new things to get it to work. And I'm 99% sure that what ended up working was something I had tried like 100x earlier that day...

With videos like this I would love to see a summary at the end explaining what was accomplished. I’ve been watching LTT and similar channels in the community for a few years now and I like to think that I understand most of what’s happening in these niche projects. That said, with something as ambitious as the Sebastian Tech House project I’d love to have a better understanding of the connections being made by the end of the video. It’s entertaining nonetheless, but personally I feel more engaged when I have an idea of how attainable this type of setup could be for someone outside of this level of knowledge.

@trevalyon8610 2 года назад

He's got a computer down in the server room/basement and he's cloning the display between two of those Asus OLED's... He was trying to have the 2nd display running off of a KVM (the fancy one from Level1 Techs), so he could have 2 computer setups on that station. This was two complicated things... 2 locations, 1 compute... but one of those locations was also 2 computers... In the end, they couldn't get the 1 location, 2 computers thing working, but they 2 locations, 1 computer is. KVM is really difficult with higher bandwidth signals and it's likely caused by how many signal conversions are happening over the already long distance they have that optical ran... It's still cool and doesn't detract from how gorgeous both of those monitors are

@superslash7254 2 года назад

@@trevalyon8610 I've been wondering for a while why KVMs just kind of fell off the face of the earth once DVI, HDMI, and DP became a thing and bandwidth does make the most sense as an answer.

Using the LG C1 as a monitor: Service remote can be used to disable the brightness limiter completely. Enable WakeonLan. Use a smart home setup (like homeassistant) and motion sensors / bluetooth / whatever to do presence detection.

When I phoned LG customer support about it, they insisted that "it must be some issue with my computer or with my display drivers", but the computer doesn't have this issue on any other display.

As Steve said, the goal is to have his rack PC accessible from two different locations in the house - one upstairs and one downstairs. Another way about this would be to go the route of a client-server model and putting NUCs/thin clients where each machine is to be accessed but that also has a lot of caveats like lag and virtualisation issues, plus the inherent complexity creating more failure points.

The way you turn off auto dimming on LG is to set the power saving preferences, either to maximum (dimmest, I use this when my lights are off), medium (My fave) and minimal (too bright for me, fine if your window shines onto the tv).

Actually you can defeat the ABL (on LG OLEDs) to the same degree as on the Asus monitors by lowering contrast to ~80, depending on the specific panel. Then the fullscreen D65 white brightness is around 230nits, but that is only in SDR. In HDR, every LG OLED goes down to ~150nits max at fullscreen white. In this regard LG OLEDs are better than the Asus ones (you measured ~100nits HDR fullscreen white). It would be interesting to see how bright the Asus monitors get when displaying fullscreen white in SDR, but unfortunately you did not provide measurements for that.

Man, this was a fantastic video. Seeing other people be completely stumped when troubleshooting makes me feel not alone, lol.

I still think a complete guide on how to do a similar setup with two workplaces with the I/O yourself would be amazing, both on the expensive and the "budget". Not so much focusing on the displays and peripherals but more on the hardware that is required to set this up, from KVM to different type of cabling, docks but also PC-requirements and all sort of things.

Linus has so many things interconnected in his new home when one thing goes wrong there's going to be hell tracking it down. And lord forbid a new wire standard comes out for a wire repull on those conduit.

With all the issues and drama happening, the monitor sure looks like the easiest and most stable part of the setup!

I have a suggestion for a video for you. So OLED monitors are becoming more common, you have monitors like this one and then you have the Alienware AW3423DW. One thing with both of those displays though, they're not as fast as a lot of VA or IPS panels in terms of refresh rate. So here's my idea, if you take something like the alienware and run it at 2560x1440 and compare it to a 240hz 1440p monitor like the Samsung Odyssey G7, which has better motion performance? As far as I see it, even at slower refresh rates OLED should still have superior motion clarity but worse input lag because there are less frames. But it would be interesting to see that quantified in some way. There are pros to both lower motion blur and lower input lag so it ends up being a choice the consumer has to make based on their gaming preferences.

Yeah dude, TVs as monitors has rarely worked out. I don’t recommend them unless they have very simple firmware that lets you do what you want. But that’s not likely to happen in the era of Smart TVs. For computers, always a monitor.

No issues after a year plus with a C1. Don’t know what y’all are doing wrong.

I was hoping for an actual review. Will you be doing a review on the Asus PG42UQ and/or a side by side direct comparison to the LG C2 42"? I'm torn which one to budget for. I'm still using an old Dell U3011 Ultrasharp. This monitor has lasted 3 pc upgrades as I've waited for OLED dream to become an affordable reality.
