  • Which one is better as PC monitor?

    • This one is perfect. Difference between C3/4/5 is the year of release. It might be difficult to find C4 now because they have been superseded by the 2025 C5. This is a decent price, C4 only went as low as $1100ish when it was on clearance

      • Interesting. Any reason I should choose the C5 over a Dell U4323QE?

        • +1

          144hz vs 60hz

        • +2

          OLED vs IPS

        • Depends on your use case.

          The Dell has hub features, less glare and no risk of burn in.

          I'd still get the LG though.

          Use case.

          Like others have said:
          - LG supports 144hz vs Dell's 60hz
          - LG is OLED, Dell is LCD (UPS)
          - LG is a TV, Dell is a monitor (with hub)*

          • That last point is important. While you can get LG companion software (community made) to bridge the gap a bit, the LG is not a monitor. It only has HDMI inputs, no internal hub, and doesn't auto turn on or auto standby like the Dell does. Text also isn't as nice as an LCD.

          I have the LG C4 as my monitor, so it isn't in any way a dealbreaker not to have the same features as a monitor, but it is definitely different.

          I have both a MacBook and a Windows desktop plugged in. It can auto switch between them with the appropriate software, but isn't as convenient as a monitor to the point that I just have the remote sitting by me. Software was just too dicky, so I ended up removing it.

          Also starts up slower than a monitor does. I have a dual monitor setup with a Dell monitor in portrait mode for spreadsheets or pdfs. It powers on a good 3-4 seconds before the LG.

          And yes, as Ryanek eludes to, there is a risk of burn in with the LG (being that it is OLED). Though it is overblown.

          In the end:
          Gaming go LG
          Productivity go Dell

            @Morien: Thanks for that. Like you I also use both a Windows for work, and Mac for personal. I am more productivity > gaming.

    I use the C4 as a PC monitor and it's amazing.

    Mainly used for gaming and media. Such a leap from my previous 32" 4k 144hz IPS

    • I have the 42 c2 and find it a bigger and thought 32 would have been a better choice, especially IPS with no burn-in worry.
