    Is this hard to drive as a monitor? I.e do you need a 4090 since this is 4k? I am thinking about the pissible additional costs between this and the aw3423dwf

    • jenesis33 on 16/11/2023 - 10:17
      +4

      with DLSS, even 4070 can run 4K. Not 120 hz at most demanding game, but do able at most game.

      If you want to push 4K120 all the time, then even 4090 can't do it ALL THE TIME.

      I would say if you have a 4070+ GPU then go for it. Otherwise better stick with 2k or 2.5k

      I am planning to get 42 C3, and i use 4070TI for now. (hopefully get 5080 or something later)

    • WorstAgreeableRadish on 16/11/2023 - 11:39

      What jenesis33 said.

      Also, you can specify custom resolutions and then effectively run this at the same ultrawide resolution as the AW2423DWF for games where you just can't do 4K.
      I have an AMD GPU, so DLSS isn't available to me and FSR isn't quite as good, so for some games like Cyberpunk and Alan Wake I will probably run as ultrawide. Others like BG3 I will do full 4K.

      When things get really bad, you can always just use integer scaling.

      That said, in my opinion for native 4K max settings in all the games released in the next two years you will need a 4090, and even then it won't be enough. I mostly wait for sales, so mostly play games that are 3+ years old.

    • Yuri Lowell on 19/11/2023 - 11:27
      +1

      Even the 4090 can't run some modern games at 4K 120Hz. I'm running a modest 6700 XT (equivalent to a 4060 Ti or 3060 Ti) and can achieve 4K at 60-120fps quite easily. Usually, I'll just play on medium settings and enable FSR. Sure, it won't look as good visually to ultra settings and native 4K but you're still getting above 60fps with HDR and the TV outputting a 4K image. The 4070 or 7800 XT will be able to achieve 4k 120Hz quite easily with DLSS/FSR in all but the most demanding games.

    Hey guys, I've never used TCN cards. Do you buy them at Coles in store and then just take them to Good Guys/JB hifi?
    I saw there's different types of TCN cards. (Teens, Kids, Home, etc).
    Which one should I get to buy a TV JB hifi and Good Guys? Or is there no difference and they can all be used?

    I love OLED, the image is fantastic. I have had the C7 for 6 years now and it is a dream to own…except…….Burn in.

    I hate to say it but here it is….

    We do not have game consoles and all we do is watch TV, Youtube or Netflix. We have the screensaver on and refresh pixels, I look after my stuff. However the Netflix App specifically has a bright red "NETFLIX" logo which just sits in one place when searching for shows. If you are a Netflix user you may know how long you might sit there searching/browsing all the shows on offer and this alone has caused burn in. So when I get more red backgrounds I can see a burnt in Netflix logo along with a line and I am not the only one, may LG OLED owners have the same thing and there is nothing I can do about it. I tried to refresh pixels using LG inbuilt function, no change. I tried running pixel refresher from youtube which goes through all colours for a few hours, no change. This is not temporary, this is burnt in.

    So if you are going to get an OLED please be very aware that even if you are careful you can get tripped up.

    • serpserpserp on 16/11/2023 - 10:17

      Someone forgot to make the screen saver come on after a short period of time.

      C9's and after don't have the same burn in rates.

      • riggit on 16/11/2023 - 11:09
        +2

        I mentioned in my text above that I always have the screensaver on. It isn't that. What it is if you even spend 10 mins browsing Netflix over a few years this accumulates and does burn in, it is not retention. I have also seen C9 users complain about the same thing. Also Burn in Tech has not changed that much at all and is still a risk. Buyer beware.

    • digitaltango on 16/11/2023 - 10:24
      +2

      OLED tech has evolved a lot since you bought your unit 6 years ago. I don't think burn-ins are that common these days.

      • riggit on 16/11/2023 - 11:23

        BTW that is what I was lead to believe when I bought the C7. Everything I read stated that OLED had come a long way and the risk was low. Well I am a fool.

      • cille745 on 16/11/2023 - 11:43

        No it hasn’t. There hasn’t been any real changes to the subpixel layout since the C8, where they increased the size of the red subpixel to combat burn in.

        While there have been small improvements to the software since then, rates of burn in will be pretty similar anyway

    • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 16/11/2023 - 10:48

      1. Burn in prevention measures have greatly improved since the C7.

        6 years is a long time.

        I wouldn’t call it a “long time” for a $3k+ TV, especially when it hasn’t even been used for gaming.

    • Eeples on 16/11/2023 - 12:16

      My 42” C2 is set to move the screen every few hours.

    • paullovesbargains on 17/11/2023 - 10:07

      I know someone who got an oled. Accidentally grabbed the screen for some reason when unpacking. Trashed the whole screen. Apparently touching the screen is a big no no. Not worth the risk. Heard the top end leds are pretty much as good - different pros and cons.

      Geez I'm just sticking with my $500 tcl. Still way better than the crts we grew up with. Even has decent enough sound. People get all horny over paying big bucks for high end tech. 5x the price isn't 5x the quality. And would rather spend the money on experiencing the world in all its glory before we finish trashing it personally.

      • Raynes on 24/11/2023 - 18:22

        You can't touch the screen?? How are you supposed to dust it?

  • Serpeant on 16/11/2023 - 09:46

    This LG OLED or Sony OLED?

    I guess this as it's available at a good price!

    • hessels92 on 16/11/2023 - 12:15

      Sony is a better TV but you will pay for it. If money means nothing get it. If not get this and be 95% as good.

    • deadpoet on 16/11/2023 - 12:19

      LG OLED if you're mainly using it for gaming, Sony if you're mainly using it for watching TV or content consumption/streaming video.

      LG for me. We watch stuff off USB and LG plays everything you throw at it and am unsure about the Sony as they have had poor file compatibility previously.

    • Edamamme on 16/11/2023 - 10:59

      • XDynamics on 16/11/2023 - 11:56
        +1

        tbh I'm leaning more towards the dwf. Never tried 21:9 but it seems like it'd be nice. I know that the new OLEDS will be priced $2000 + so I'm thinking I'll buy the DWF and use it until 4k 240hz prices come down. The only thing holding me back is that it seems like a waste to use 1440p with 4090.

      • serpserpserp on 16/11/2023 - 14:03

        Wait for next year. Hopefully by then the brightness features they added to the G3 range only will be across the entire range.

        • Edamamme on 16/11/2023 - 14:09

          I agree, but I’m still tempted haha. Might depend how low the G3 price drops Black Friday and my patience!

    is that LG OLED C3: 42" good for gaming and use as computer monitor ?

    • Yuri Lowell on 16/11/2023 - 11:50
      +5

      It's the best of the best for gaming. As a computer monitor it's less so. It has serious text clarity issues due to the layout of the pixels, although there is less burn-in risk compared to other OLED monitors. It also has an aggressive backlight and poor 100% screen brightness which makes it fairly average for general computer use. I personally could not give up my IPS monitor for computer use but when it comes to gaming it blows everything away with its instant pixel response, true blacks, superb HDR, low input latency and there's no need to opt for the monitor-centric OLED displays (unless you want ultra wide) because LG has a PC mode built into the display.

    • Smigit on 16/11/2023 - 14:35

      I’d go 65” as I think 42” is too small. There appears to be a 55” TCL model which might be a good middle ground but if you’re at 2m distance.

    • cille745 on 16/11/2023 - 16:49

          But you can wait for ebay sale from Powerland/Good guys which might even beat this JB price, so it will be close to JB+TCN price.

      You can use C2 last year as a guideline. BF will be cheapest price we have seen, then next year March will be even cheaper bec of stock clearance for C4 releasing.

    does anyone know a good usb hub for wfh with the C3? I just want to plug in my work laptop and have it work with the C3 - otherwise have it work with my desktop which is connected to the C3.

      I don't use it with the C3, but have a Dell WD19TB which is great.
      It doesn't have HDMI 2.1, so you might want to see if a newer version (like WD22TB) has it.

      It's not really a hub, more of a dock.

      Im using the ugreen hub for switching keyboard and mouse, use the TV remote to quick switch between two hdmi inputs.
