LG 48CX

Here’s to hoping. If not that’s a pretty substantial drop in just a few years.

Well to be fair I did disable ASBL the first week I had it and I've also been running HDR enabled in Windows the whole time which means OLED light set to 100 for the past 2.5 years, and on top of all that I pretty much treated my CX like a regular display in that I don't bother to babysit the thing at all because I just don't care about burn in so if some degradation has occurred then I suppose that's what I get haha.
 
I set the Contrast from 80 to 100 and that was able to boost the brightness up from 78 nits to 99 nits. Otherwise the rest of my settings look fine so I guess there isn't much else I can do to get it any brighter, let's just say after 2.5 years the max luminance with BFI on high has dropped from ~120 nits down to 100.

How many hours? Do you have an idea?
 
Out of curiosity, what video setting do you guys use for movies in windows?

I have mine set to HDR user for games and it hit me that I might want a a different setting for movies.


What do you guys switch to? I know in Netflix, and the video apps it auto switches.

Thx!

Tbh, I don't watch movies on my desktop. Even though I have a HM Aeron for amazing comfort and a pretty sweet sound system...

It's only at 2339 hours so that's really not a lot given that some owners have already crossed the 10k hour mark! But like I said I did disable ASBL within the first week and It's been running OLED light 100 the whole time so perhaps that contributed something.

Damn that really isn’t a lot. But like you said you’re running full tilt so I guess that has to have counted for something.

Yeah the CX wasn't the only display I've been using, my time has been spent moving back and fourth between it and my Acer X27, with the X27 being used more often since it took on the duty of any desktop work while the CX was purely gaming only and zero desktop activity. X27 has been replaced with a 32M2V at this point though and that's become my primary display now since it's what my 4090 is hooked up to.
 
Got my CX up and running now.

For work and personal use.

Fonts seem fine with Better ClearType Tuner with grayscale font-smoothing activated.

Disabled automatic dimming (TPC & GSR) to keep from getting blasted by white screens when I move stuff around.

Running 4K/120Hz/10 bit/Game Mode/BFI High on my personal machine. (My work machine basically the same, except it doesn't appear to support 10 bit. Also use some scaling there for myself and for screen sharing.)

I use very low OLED light in my relatively dim home office/bedroom. (As is my natural preference anyway.)

And aggressively use screen savers along with other mitigations. (Similar to how I treat CRTs.)

Wow...Amazing panel!

Obviously I'm very late to this party. Here after countless firmware updates and folks documenting their experiences and advice. Many thanks to everyone here and in the larger community!

Your being a continued die-hard CRT user giving the screen these accolades is worth more than you realize. Congratulations on your purchase.

I'm telling you man, a BFI OLED is the next best thing after CRT. On paper 3ms persistence vs 1ms persistence of CRT it doesn't look like the OLED would fair well but in real world use you will be hard pressed to notice that. A 240Hz BFI OLED would probably fully close the gap but until we have that, the CX/C1 are the go to displays for motion clarity + image quality combo.

You don’t have to convince me. My Viewsonic XG2431 has similar (probably a little better) persistence at 60hz and only if I’m nitpicking do I care about motion clarity still not being up to par with CRT. I can only imagine what it would look like if it had those OLED blacks to go with.
