            @Sertacv2: You get 4K 120Hz over HDMI in the currrent LG OLED TVs, both new Nvidia 3000s and Radeon 6000s support HDMI 2.1 now.

            The LG OLED TV also has low latency mode and Freesync… a lot more brightness.

            So really I don't see why this monitor is better than the LG in any way, just way more expensive.

          Anything but a 3000 series GPU can't do HDMI 4K 120Hz. DP is the only way for older cards to work at full refresh.

        Presumably without the spyware that plagues modern TVs. You know where it watches your screen and sends reports on what you watch back to the TV company and who knows where else.

        This is serious by the way for those that think it's a joke - it's a real thing and many of the newer TVs are doing it - have a read about it.

            • FuRyZ on 29/10/2020 - 12:23

              @bono: To be fair, just dont use any of the smart features and apps. I dont. I have my TV connected to my HTPC. Haven't even watched regular TV as it has no antenna connection, so the amount of data my TV collected about me is pretty useless at this stage.

              If your TV does like to connect to open wifi networks, it's also not hard to simply connect the TV to your own router, and then to block its internet access there.

              • bono on 29/10/2020 - 13:57
                +1

                @FuRyZ: The TVs are doing a thing where it watches the displayed data. This is marketed to advertisers as 'Automatic Content Recognition', from some reading I did on the topic.

                A lot of the newer TVs are apparently doing this even when it's not coming from the smart features. You read that correctly! The TVs even snoop on what's sent in by inputs e.g. HDMI.

                The only solution as far as I'm concerned is to keep it off the network.

                But then Samsung and maybe others started snooping for unsecured wifi networks to send their stolen viewing data back to base. In the near future these abusive companies will probably start using inbuilt mobile phone sims to transmit the data.

                Hence why some people have been trying to buy commercial displays to avoid this snooping, and may want to buy a monitor rather than a TV! And to avoid Samsung TVs. Apparently Sony doesn't currently snoop for unsecured wifi networks, though the reading I did may not be updated for the recently released Sony models. You will have to do your own research if you want to avoid being snooped on by the company you gave megabucks to for buying a TV, and all the related advertising companies they end up selling the data to.

          There's also the security aspect, as it's essentially an IoT device and potential malware target.

          What worries me is that although you can currently skip connecting TVs to the Internet, the number of TVs with that option may dwindle as connecting gets normalised to the point that the benefit to manufacturers of making it effectively mandatory outweighs any potential backlash from those who'd rather not connect their TV and accept all the applicable policies. The refuseniks will be left with crappier options (fewer products to choose from and/or having to waste time or money on hacks).

        • KangaDrew on 29/10/2020 - 13:43

          Google TV dongle and remote. Problem solved.

          Although, seriously, most people should be more concerned with their laptop search history and mobile advertising algorithms before they get paranoid about TV's sending viewing info back to the company. The only thing I'm concerned about with my TV is the microphone to listen in to voice commands - I draw the line at that.

        Use a TV as a monitor and you will know.

      • lostn on 29/10/2020 - 15:38
        +1

        What's the difference?

        Monitor has DP, TVs don't.

        TV has a tuner and built in OS. You'd be able to plug in a USB drive and play movies straight off that, which you couldn't do on a monitor. You'd have to plug it into your desktop instead. This may not sound like a big deal but if you're watching HDR movies, you'd get native support from the TV, whereas Windows 10's HDR support is terrible and will wash out your colors.

        TVs have built in speakers but some monitors do as well, though they won't be good quality, and the 3.5mm passthrough will be full of noise and poorly amped.

        Monitors usually have better response times, but OLED TVs are just as good.

        TVs come with a remote. And you can watch, you know, TV on it.

        It does not. NVIDIA have been supporting Gsync over HDMI for some time now. Over a year I believe, I have been using it since I got my LG C9.

          Have you tried 4K120Hz with a 3000 series card yet by any chance? I can't get it to work on mine with a 3080 for some reason. Purchased a fibre optic HDMI 2.1 cable too.

          • drinkin-beer on 29/10/2020 - 13:55

            @elli0t: No i havent because i cant get my hands on a 3080 lol. There is a known issue with 30 series cards and 4k 120hz GSYNC. LG is releasing updated firmware to apparently fix it but only in USA and Europe so far (maybe more i am not sure). Of course, as usual with these things Australia will have to wait to get the support but it will come. Actually kinda makes me feel ok with not having a 3080 right now because my C9 is my only gaming display lol.

            @elli0t: Can I ask where and what cable you bought? I'm having issues with 4k passing to my projector via a 10m HDMI cable from my receiver. Randomly clips and it's very inconsistent, some days not even doing it.

              • db87 on 30/10/2020 - 15:55

                @elli0t: I'm passing through 4k60 so I'd want to hope that could cope. I don't have the HDMI cable specs on hand and it was bundled with my package at an inflated quoted price of around $100-200 But when eliminated, most of my problems go away.

                Edit: just to add, it IS a high spec cable but I definitely can't count it out as being a potential problem. Not when the issue is as intermittent as it is. I even suspect it only shows its hand too when the signal is a full 4k signal as opposed to an upscale 1080 signal. With only streaming content as a reference, it gets hard to pinpoint.

                To add more to the puzzle, the receiver went back under warranty as the first suspect with a faulty HDMI board, only to reproduce the same issue months later. :s

                I'll bookmark it and add it to the ammo pile when I hit up the retailer.

                Thanks!

    How do we define it it's a monitor or a TV? Traditionally monitors have finer resolution and higher ppi but obviously now it is not. 4K is very common on TV nowadays. Then a 55' 4K TV is a lot cheaper even at the top notch. Input lag is no longer a problem as well. Why pay the extra?

      Input lag is no longer a problem for casual players on TV's, but probably would make a difference for more competitive players.

      Better response rates and extra features like gsync/FREESYNC add to the cost. But probably not enough to justify the price tag unless you really want it

      This has no TV tuner, no smart apps, no program guide. Also has displayport for connecting it to a PC. Definitely not a TV.

      On the panel side of things this is a true 120hz and not just interpolated frames that TVs advertise as. It also supports AMD freesync to reduce tearing and has a 0.5ms GTG response time for low input latency.

      • Ryballs on 29/10/2020 - 19:22

      I went into my local Harvey Norman to ask about the 48 inch CX and the TV sales guy didn't even know it existed (tbh no surprise there). He rang the LG rep while I was there and was apparently the online LG pre-order was the only way to secure a CX 48 and they only had ~250 of them available with no plans to release the TV in Australian stores. Obviously this is just my experience so take with a grain of salt, but doesn't bode well for those of us who are waiting for CX 48 inch TV's.

    What graphics card would you need to run AAA games at max settings, 4k and at 120hz? Is this even possible atm?

      The 3080 can drive most games comfortably at 4k/60fps and beyond.

      I'm interested in high refresh 4k displays because I can get the best of both worlds. Sharper text and more room on screen for productivity, smoother scrolling with fast refresh rate and the option to run games at 4k beyond 60fps. I can always play games at 1440p on a 4k display (I know not ideal) but saves me the desk space of 2 displays. That said, 55" is way, way too tall to use for productivity on a standard desk.

        $2799 delivered. Could get the 55 for around the same price or even cheaper on sale, but I went the 48 for a desktop monitor

    If someone is this filthy rich to be able to justify this over a TV, would they really be on OzB?

    Food for thought…
