New UI and it does get a little brighter for HDR. I am perfectly happy saving $500 on the 55" CX I brought from MC last week.Only difference is the cpu and Freesync premium.
Oh? I see there is no B series this year. So the C1 is the new low end with the G being the better panel and the 8k being top of the line now. Shitty but I don't see them making the C and G equal. Too many people were buying the C over old more expansive G for no benefit.Here's to hoping the next C series gets the G series brightness capabilities next near.

The C tier is still the middle tier, the new low end tier is now the A tier, the top end is still the G tier.Oh? I see there is no B series this year.

In previous years, the "C" series of LG's OLED was their flagship, while the B was "step down" and anything above a C was considered "Designer" or "Gallery"... basically, an upgrade to form factor and not much else.
This year is different because the "G" series gets a legitimate spec bump compared to the C. It will be interesting to see how this diversifies LG's portfolio of OLED sets.
Also, am I missing something, or has the hype over 8K sets diminished compared to last year?
I thought the CX already has freesync premium. And only the 77GX had the freesync premium plus.Only difference is the cpu and Freesync premium.

Oh, so that really is not a difference if both the CX and C1 can get Freesync Premium (after the firmware update on the CX)The CX got Freesync Premium through a firmware update.
$1349 at BBThe 48" LG C1 is now $100 off, $1,399 at all stores.
it actually detected the PC when I connected it. I'm not sure if there's a difference in what it means to manually set to PC and what happens automatically.Hey all, I recently bought FV43U VA monitor but I'm thinking about chaniging it to LG C1 48" but one thing is holding me back. I have already OLED 55" CX in my living room but every time I connect / disconnect my PC or even turn it off - I need to set the HDMI setting to PC as the TV keeps reseting it. Would any of C1 owners be able to confirm if this is not the issue with C1's ?
Thanks.
You should be able to already be able to do 120Hz at 4K with RTX 20x0 GPU with the only caveat being that it will only work at YCbCr420 and 8-bitsI have an RTX2080 with only DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. I'd need an DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter cable. Will it work without issues, so I get the 4k 120Hz?
I am not aware of any such solution but one thing I am almost certain of is that you really need to be careful with these devices. If you go this route (DP to HDMI adapter/cable) you want something that will work with VRR and not only just allow 4K 120Hz (with maybe HDR) otherwise you loose one of the most important gaming features and be better off using HDMI 2.0 directly out of your GPU.Can you recommend a good one that is 3 Meters long (~10 feet)? My current 3 Meters DP 1.4 is from Club3D.
It is the same as 24" 1080p monitor. These are standard PPI screens used by many up close. 48" 4K will be just much larger. Perhaps too large to use from such close distance.I wonder, at what distance you no longer see pixels with the fonts? 48" 4k has ppi of 93, a bit too low for the size, but that is a matter of distance. How clear is the picture in games at about an arms length? I tested an 43" 4k VA, and the picture is super sharp in games, despite the lower ppi compared to 32" 4k, but the C1 is a bit larger than 43".
This just does not happen in my experience. I don't see any "gaps" on my OLED screens even if I sit up close. But sitting up close would be just pointless because the sheer size of the display makes it uncomfortable. I have mine mounted at 1m viewing distance and it's still a very large screen. I use 125% scaling which helps for text size and font rendering.One issue and one of the numerous reasons I didn't go OLED TV myself yet is RGBW pixel layout and rather strange way these panels display pixels. With standard RGB subpixels from this distance you might see screen door effect, or not, deepens on your eyesight. With RGBW and the way pixels are displayed you are pretty much guaranteed to always see gaps between pixels

These panels at most use 3 subpixels out of four. For RGB screen it can also happen that there are gaps caused by dim subpixels but on RGB if one color is out then you are viewing either already very dim pixels or very saturated and vibrant colors blur in eyes. Add white subpixel and use it for displaying white and you have recipe for seeing very large gaps between pixels. It will also screw up subpixel font rendering.
Solution to these pixel issues is simple: sitting further away until screen surface appears smooth. TV are usually viewed across the room and 1080p at 48" should be usable in moderately sized room. For gaming it might be good to sit closer but not "at arms length", it seems too close, especially with massive gaps between pixels.
In any way people who get these television sets and use as monitors find distance and scaling settings that works for them.
Looking at the screen from very up close I see little black dots, but at an arms length they are not really visible.This just does not happen in my experience.

OLED panels typically use non-RGB subpixel arrangements eg. mobile devices usually use pentile and new Switch uses something else entirely.Remember, LG's OLED subpixel matrix is WRGB. Most other LCD/OLED techs just have RGB subpixel matrix.
