Utilising the $100 off eBay coupon to take it from $1472 to $1372.

Good price for those that missed out on the $1375 deal a month ago. JB price matched Bing Lee at $1472 when I spoke to them earlier today, but wouldn't budge on offering the $1372 price because it isn't a ticket price.

It most likely will drop a little bit more as stock clears up now that the C4 model is out.

I'm unsure if this is Sydney only pricing.

    Anyone using this as a monitor? Thoughts?

    • eug on 11/04/2024 - 11:46

      I've only used it for 2 months but it's alright so far. I use it for normal desktop use (no gaming) so it's quite a waste really.

      When there's lots of white on screen I can see it dim quite a bit compared to my side monitors. That can be disabled but then I'd be concerned about panel longevity.

      Viewing photos is jaw-dropping - the colours are fantastic. With videos HDR works but I have an issue with Chrome and extremely oversaturated colours so I've switched back to SDR.

      You'll definitely want to install LGTV Companion to automatically turn the monitor on and off along with your PC.

        It still boots faster than my dedicated computer monitor even without the LGTV companion.

        • eug on 11/04/2024 - 13:32
          +3

          It's not about bootup speed, it's about automatically turning it on and off just like a normal monitor. Having to turn it on and off manually with a remote every time won't bother everyone, but it does bother me.

          It can also blank the screen if no user input has been detected for x mins.

          • Yuri Lowell on 11/04/2024 - 19:37

            @eug: I use a screen saver and it goes to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. Takes about 5 seconds to turn back on from a cold boot. Also, you don't need to use the remote, just press the button under the middle like a normal monitor. Honestly, it's functionally identical to a monitor.

              @Yuri Lowell: It's great that you (and many other people for sure) don't mind the additional step, but clearly there's enough people out there who don't agree that it is functionallity identical to a monitor that LGTVCompanion was created. ColorControl also added the same power functionality.

              Honestly, it's functionally identical to a monitor.

              I've never had to manually turn a monitor on/off for over 20 years. :)

      Using a C2 42 and 4090 for around 1.5 years averaging 3-4 hours per day. No burn in at. It is a fantastic monitor
      Would recommend.

      • Slurped on 11/04/2024 - 12:00

        Same here. Been using mine as primary monitor since mid 2022 with no burn in.

        • goodwillN1 on 11/04/2024 - 12:23

          C2 for over a year.
          Mainly office work with occasional gaming, surfing and videos.
          No burn in but I am a fairly low brightness user (setting 42/100) for text use.
          If you do all the recommended PC use setup and use dark mode where possible (including DarkReader in browser) it is a very pleasant experience.
          I use HDR and full brightness for games and movies.

          Except for the annoying fact that it is not a monitor (slower wake up and clunky input switching) it has been good. LG TV Companion app helps but does not solve it all for multi-PC users

          • RtN on 11/04/2024 - 13:17

            @goodwillN1: Same except I have no idea what my brightness is.

      • bleeder on 11/04/2024 - 14:32

        Do you do anything to mitigate burn-in, e.g. autohide task bar. Or do you just run it like any old PC?

      • tight-ass on 11/04/2024 - 15:19

        I'm hopeful LG release a 32" OLED TV this year.. It can' be far off given the release of their 32" OLED gaming monitors.

        • deadpoet on 12/04/2024 - 00:14

          It's very unlikely they'd do that. It would only further serve to highlight the absurd price disparity between OLED monitors and OLED TVs.

      • cille745 on 11/04/2024 - 16:15

        No one expects burn in after a year, so there isn’t too much point saying that you don’t have it

        Not that it matters at the end of the day as LG replace burnt in panels up to 5 years (and sometimes even more - don’t get an OLED from any other brand)

        • MrChadley on 11/04/2024 - 16:44

          The extra 4 year warranty only applies to their Z2/Z3, G2/G3 series according to their website.

            +3

            @MrChadley: It’s not official warranty, LG replaces them all regardless. The second you mention ACCC they’ll replace your panel

              +1

              @cille745: Can confirm, replaced 5 year old B series display for burn in.
              Your ACL consumer guarantees rights aren't limited by what they are prepared to give you in warranties, and for something this expensive (even at the "lowest end") you'd expect more than 5 years of operation without having discoloured smears on your TV

              • eug on 12/04/2024 - 12:29

                @Gorby: Good to hear; did you need the original invoice?

                • Gorby on 13/04/2024 - 00:25

                  @eug: Possibly? It wouldn't have been an issue because I got it online through Appliances Online.

    • Ruddaga on 11/04/2024 - 12:25

      I use it as a gaming monitor and for work.

      For both purposes it's perfect. Had the LG CX 48 previously and it was just a tad too big.

      This one is the perfect size. Once you use it you won't go back.

    • Velocita on 11/04/2024 - 12:41

      Using the C3 42” as my primary monitor for PC and console gaming, I love it. Went from a 32” ultrawide to this, I feel like it’s a nice upgrade.

    • WorstAgreeableRadish on 11/04/2024 - 14:15

      Yes, almost exclusively for gaming. For productivity I prefer 27"4K + 27"1440p.

      I have it at just under 70cm from the edge of my desk and it works great for what I play. For fps games that are a bit faster, I occasionally git a bit of motion sickness after a couple of hours that I don't get with my smaller 1440p monitor. It's big enough that I can easily lay back on the couch a bit further away and still have a great experience, and games just look much better on OLED than on my HDR(ish) IPS 27" 1440p monitor.

      Because I don't use it all the time with my PC, I don't feel I need any of the tools people use to make it work more like a monitor.

      I previously had a 32" that I thought was too big, but it turns out it was just the crappy response time that made it feel "overwhelming" when I was too close to it. With thC3's great response time it feels much better at the same distance.

    • MisterCorey on 11/04/2024 - 15:45

      I use this for work and gaming, I use some tools to try and ensure no burn-in etc, like hiding the windows toolbar, all black desktop background, dark mode everything.

      For gaming it's incredible, HDR content looks amazing.

      Work wise, it took a bit to get used to, i'm a developer and it actually helps seeing a lot of code on screen so once I got used to it I don't think I could go back.

    • xavster on 11/04/2024 - 20:43

      Using C3 as a monitor for productivity/work. Only got C3 because my m1 macbook can't drive 2 external displays.

      I prefer my dual screen setup on my windows machine, the screen real estate is more usable.

      A couple of hours of direct sunlight noticeably darken the pixels, but they seem to go back to normal after a week. (I've applied some frost film on my skylight to control this issue)

      I think 42" OLED monitors are coming down to $1300 mark soon so if you're not in a rush probably grab the OLED monitors instead of this.

  • Tbargain12 on 11/04/2024 - 12:15

    Surely we'll hit 1K mark again this year…

    • Clipzero on 11/04/2024 - 12:28
      +1

      Yeah Ill just pass for now, 1400is too close to an actual oled monitor for dealing with the disadvantages.

      • Flognuts on 11/04/2024 - 12:31

        This, while as well buy the new 32 inch varients with much better refresh rates and not a TV.
        This is great for multiple uses, console, content consumption and PC usage, but for PC usage only…..too big and too many drawbacks…at least thats my experience anyway.

      • Arsenal on 11/04/2024 - 12:38
        +2

        What actual OLED >100hz >35" 4k (non-ultrawide) monitor are you comparing it to? I ask because having looked into it recently, those requirements seem to be rather niche.

      • Tbargain12 on 11/04/2024 - 13:34

        It's also only a few hundred from the brand new C4…

        • Arsenal on 11/04/2024 - 13:52
          +6

          I feel like i'm taking crazy pills in this sub-thread… $1372 vs $2085 is hardly an insignificant difference.

          • bleeder on 11/04/2024 - 14:35
            +2

            @Arsenal: Also the C4 isn't much of an upgrade

            • Tbargain12 on 11/04/2024 - 14:44

              @bleeder: It's not, but at the time I was under the impression it was 1.8K (on release), for 400 more, you get a brighter newer screen with 144hz for PC instead of 120. Might not be worth it for some, but might be for others.

            • sachk on 13/04/2024 - 20:31

              @bleeder: Bit late, but the C4 42 inch seems to legitimately have a ~50% brightness increase like what was claimed from the reviews I've seen. I'd argue that + 144Hz is quite significant. A lot more significant than the last few years at least.

              • bleeder on 15/04/2024 - 11:17

                @sachk: @sachk I didn't know the brightness was that much, that's a big upgrade. I wouldn't have thought 24Hz would make much of a difference to most people. Yeah you're right, probably a bigger upgrade than C1 to C3 was.
