Considering this only has freesync premium and not the better freesync premium pro –
is the HDR being affected in anyway??? Thanks.
Just ordered. I won’t be using mine as a actually "desk’ set up so I think the screen size is cool.. I don’t plan to be that close to it.
Couldn't you shrink the image and add a border?
Did you see any problems with flicker at 138hz?
VESA 300×200 and requires a very heavy duty arm like a ergotron HX or a Wali… monitor weight without stand is 34lbs so your pushing it on a WALI.
Using the monitor in portrait for productivity is epic.
You don't need to scale image, since the monitor is so big, and its a TON of real-estate you can actually read.
Idk if I’ll be used to 48 inch monitor
So I finally got a PS5, so now I'm in search of a 4k display. The LG C2 is out of the question that was originally the plan but the funds aren't there ATM . So what should I look for now a cheaper 4k TV or a gaming monitor?!
wake me when theyre 27 inches
Oh, look a geek trying to act like Colin Firth. At least be original in your presentation and not copy someone else.
consider response time and Freq ,How about OLED play csgo?
I've been playing on TV's since COD 4 released. I know you guys will say I'm stupid but I play games for fun and for my own entertainment. The tv that I used was a old 40" with a VGA input 😅 now I play on a 24" 144hz 1080p monitor BUT that's because I don't have too much space now, as soon as I have space, I will buy this 48" monitor. I miss big screens, for me as a lot of benefit's 😅 but that's me
been loving my aorus 48 oled. i dont find it too big at all, not sure i could go down to 42
Can a monitor too big? Nah. Totally not! I've got the BFGD from Asus (PG65UQ) and I love it.
If this came in a 42" version, I'd literally buy one right now. And, if it had a higher refresh rate, it would be absolutely perfect!
Sweet spot is 38inch
Does anyone know, if this supports aspect control and PIP like the rog swift OLED pg48uq?
Just ordered mine to replace my triple monitor setup. Can't wait!!! 😁
any idea how to get the fps to match the setting on the ps5?
i got my ps5 setting at 120hz but the monitor is stuck at 60hz and i can feel the input lag.

F u ck now I need a bigger desk
Pee Wee at work !
Is it possible to mount the tv to a free floating monitor stand or wall mount?
My experience with OLEDs is that they are a waste of money. It is a flawed technology that has been rushed purely for profit. I know people think they are great and don't believe they have burn in, but I will guarantee they do. It is more noticeable when watching movies than playing games because your focus is constantly changing. It is like RTS. Yes , it dose work, but it is manly a gimmick to sell more cards. NOBODY notices the difference when playing a game unless your are purposely looking for it. Same reason 3D televisions were a short lived gimmick. They just were not worth it in the end and didn't make any difference to watching a movie. I have seen IDIOTS do reviews on OLEDs and claim that there was no burn in or deterioration after 6 months. When you could see the staining of the screen even on camera. It is like are you f-ing blind or being paid by LG to look like a fool. Many companies try to mitigate burn in by reducing the brightness. One thing you can't do anything about is the deterioration of the pixels, especially the blue pixels. OLED being an organically based technology start to deteriorate from the point of manufacture. They will simply not last for years. OLEDs are probably one the biggest cons we have seen.
I’m gone let mans fuk my to buy this fucking tv monitor
just buy a lg cx48 for cheap sorted
7:16 anyone else freaking about the water glass?
got mine now, but any idea why the sound dont work on first boot? was thinking the pc is booting before the tv, cant get the sound back on without rebooting which is fucking annoying
Bruv, this guy is so funny…
Every video, he murders my brain cells… 🤣
Marcus, if one day you decided to experiment a 5 minutes stand-up technology/nerd/irony episode, just for experience in a playlist for YouTube channel, I'll be the first to support you & help you in anything I can for you!
Much love, mate!!!
42 inch is more the sweet spot i reckon for a desk 4k monitor
I wonder how it performs with Office applications because i read about auto dimming that cannot be enabled?
Office applications
really tempted by this but cant find it in stock anywhere l,ol
I just got mine this past weekend and for me this is perfect, however I do use a controller for most games. My desk is 30" wide and I have it mounted to the wall. Definitely took some getting used to coming from a 27", but after a couple hours I was good. Just like most OLED's you need a fairly dark room for everything to pop (I need some black out curtains for my office window). Coming from a 1440 IPS panel to this has made every game feel new, almost like they've been remastered. 4k, OLED, 120/138 Hz, what else could you ask for. FYI, the remote from my C1 works for it as well.
Kool accent 😇
You get used to the size after a week or so. I've been using ~50" 4K screens since about 2015, I dunno why anyone would go smaller. LG OLED48CX at the moment, pretty much the same thing as that new one
