Due to the smaller screen size, the LG C2 42 also has slightly better text clarity than the LG 48 C1 OLED, but it's not enough to make a significant difference.īelow you can see text clarity photos at different scaling options.Īs this uses a RWBG subpixel layout, all four pixels are never on at the same time, but you can see different pixel combinations below:Īs this is a TV, it has a bunch of features most monitors don't have, like image processing and smart features, which you can read about in the TV review. Also, some color fringing is noticeable with certain content, like when displaying yellow on a green background, but it's not a big issue with most content. The OLED screen's RWBG (also known as WBGR) layout isn't ideal as programs don't support it, so text clarity is worse with some programs.

Windows default to a 300% scaling, which is too big, and changing it to 100% is good enough to read the text, as you can see in the photos above. As it's about the same pixel density as a 27-inch, 1440p monitor, text is legible, but you'll notice some blurriness if you sit close. The TV gets brighter when you're streaming regular content out of Game Mode, but like with any OLED, larger areas of bright colors are dimmer, so it isn't ideal to use with regular desktop use, as full-size windows are noticeably dimmer. You can also see the results in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with the Peak Brightness setting on 'High' below. Disabling Game Optimizer increases the input lag, but it's still fine for desktop use if you want the brighter image. It makes the screen brighter, but the ABL is a bit more aggressive with larger areas of bright colors.

It also helps reduce the risk of permanent burn-in.īelow are the results for the brightness tested with Game Optimizer setting disabled in PC Mode with the Picture Mode still on 'Game Optimizer'. It's beneficial when using it as a PC monitor because there's no Automatic Brightness Limiter that makes full-screen documents and webpages dimmer. However, 'Game Optimizer' locks you out of many settings in SDR, including Peak Brightness, which is why the screen is dim, and it's not enough to fight glare in a well-lit room. These results are from after calibration in the 'Game Optimizer' Picture Mode with Game Optimizer enabled and the input set to 'PC', which lets you achieve low input lag and proper text clarity when using it as a PC monitor. The LG C2 42 has disappointing peak brightness in PC Mode, and it's not as bright as the Sony 42 A90K OLED. Our unit was manufactured in April 2022, and you can see the label here.

If you come across a different type of panel or your LG C2 42 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update the review. Although it's not really a variant, LG also released the LG 48GQ900-B, which is a very similar display to the C2, but with features and inputs more typically found on monitors. We tested the 65-inch model as a TV, but the results aren't comparable between the TV and monitor review because we tested each with different settings and methodology. For the most part, the results are also valid for the 48, 55, 65, 77, and 83 inches, but text clarity is worse on large sizes because they have lower pixel density. We tested the 42-inch LG C2 OLED, and it's also available in larger sizes. We tested the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 S43BM70 and added some comparisons with this model.
Reviewed the Samsung 43 QN90B QLED and compared the HDR brightness between them.Ĭorrectly labeled the window sizes in the HDR brightness box because they were incorrectly labeled. Measured the SDR Peak Brightness with Game Optimizer disabled.
We bought and tested the Sony 42 A90K OLED, and added a few relevant comparisons to the review.
We've added a few relevant comparisons so you can see how they compare. Also confirmed that it supports 1440p from the PS5.Īdded that the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF is another OLED monitor that has a higher 165Hz Refresh Rate. We've added a comparison to the recently reviewed Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G85SB S34BG85, which has a higher refresh rate for PC gaming.Ĭlarified that it doesn't have a PBP/PIP mode from two external sources in Additional Features. We rechecked the input lag with VRR and confirmed that the 42-inch model we tested as a monitor and the 65-inch TV we tested perform the same with the latest firmware.Īdded that the new LG 42 OLED Flex has a curved screen in the Style section. Corrected a mistake in Input Lag to clarify that there's a high input lag outside of the Game and PC Modes.
