Look up reviews for its predecessor the LG C9 (this only came in a 55inch version at the smallest). The LG C9 beats every gaming monitor in every single category. The only thing you can fault it is that it is "only" 120hz (144hz doesn't really matter), and it doesn't have display port, where HDMI 2.1 is still hard to connect to since this year's graphics cards are just now coming out with it.

[@Obloms]

I am waiting. I kind of want 32" - 40" 4K monitor with HDMI 2.1 as well and that's just not there. LG CX 48" is an interesting option but it is rather large and still not sure about OLED with Windows and possibility of a burn in.

Awesome video great job HU! Currently with a 34GK950F and it's awesome. Only downside is that for true 144hz response times then iirc then the wide gamut must be enabled. I just play with srgb and the slightly slower srgb for color accuracy. However after using a few hours of the high gamut color range, going back to srgb feels old school. A firmware update from LG limited srgb to 'fast' response times which to be honest I can't visually tell the difference between fast and fastest and I'm picky about fluidity and 'things of that nature'.

@@AndySomething Anything to do with PayPal is dubious at best.

He also details Eve lying on their community updates, Eve's ties to a Chinese company that they tried to hide behind for the reason of many, many people not receiving their Eve V. Hell Eve was even taken to court for being $1 million in debt, and they only escaped being forcefully declared bankrupt by claiming "We have a new product coming (Eve Spectrum) with lots of pre-order money, so we can still pay it back" (with the pre-order money that's supposed to go into building the monitors lol). I was really interested in this monitor 2 months ago but there's so much scammy bullshit swept under the rug with this company, their reddit is heavily moderated against anyone trying to call them out.

I got an LG 27GN950-B a week or so ago, its a fantastic monitor and I can see the color difference clearly compared to my acer predator 1440p 165hz monitor. Only issue, which has become insanely annoying is the deep sleep bug where all your windows will move to your primary monitor every so often when your computer wakes up from sleep and you will have to rearrange everything. It is a superb monitor otherwise and mine has relatively low backlight bleed. Also the 1ms response time is a gimmick and unusable, u have to settle for the Fast setting which i believe is 2-4ms.

I love the monitor reviews, but I really wish he would give more recommendations for 4k options. He always glosses over it in every video and I get it, but at least inform us viewers whats out there and how it performs vs the rest of the 1440p market so we can make an informed choice. A budget 4k monitor, a monitor they havent reviewed personally and is hard to find right now, and a rant about outdated HDR technology tells me what I shouldnt buy, but gives me no options

[@evolicious]

Next to no one actually has a 4k display or has the hardware for it. It's more niche than VR gaming. Most everyone is still at 1080p, only 6% of gamers use 1440p and above. It's hardly worth the time of any reviewer to really talk about 4k other than benchmarking.

[@PantsaBear]

@@evolicious I think that's very untrue and very anecdotal of you to say, and no idea where you got that statistic from but I've seen different times numbers that don't agree with that. 4k is a buzzword for people and it has plenty of users, and the tech is there now to make use of it more than ever. Also, if he's gonna take the time to benchmark dozens of videos over it, what is 3 to 4 more minutes in a video like this gonna hurt even if what you said is true? Lol.

Of course I'm one of the few people to get my hands on a 3080 but have the worst 1440p monitor on this list lmao. The ghosting is pretty bad on the Gigabyte G32QC.

I have a Xiaomi 34" paired with an RTX 3070. Match made in heaven.

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

Ye 3070 is really good for 1440p and 1440p Ultra-Wide. 100+ fps in most games, pretty much all the time. I get like 150 fps average in Warzone on my 3070 in 2560x1440 on max settings (max aa but no ray tracing). Only dip below 100 when in the plane when Performance is a bit wonky. As soon as I leave the plane fps never dip below 100 for the rest of the match. And the card is much quieter than my 1080 Ti was and performance is much better too, especially in newer titles.

[@jamesadkinsiii7925]

I’m just curious, what’s your setup looking like? I mean you’re not at a desk if you’re using a 55 inch tv so do you game in a gaming chair a few feet from the tv or do you sit in a couch/recliner? I ask because I’m considering switching from PlayStation to a PC and am trying to decide if I want a monitor at a desk or a really big tv, say Samsung Q90T 85 inches. I have 2 OLEDs, 55 B6 and 65C7, but I had issues with burn in on the C7 so I don’t wanna go that route with a gaming tv haha

[@BenJi2DxD]

@@jamesadkinsiii7925 It's a desk actually...something IKEA with big metal T looking legs. The legs are a white T, but upside down. It's big...but I'm still right in front of the TV :D I wanted the 48'' model, but in my country they said that MAYBE they will have it some time in 2021 and I was like meh, I'm buying the 55'' then. It's super immersive for some tasks and bad for others...but I like it. I also have consoles and stuff and I'm an artist sooo this big screen could be a good thing. I hope my eyes can handle it tho. I've been in front of a 40''+ TV for the past...11 years. What's 15''+ more... :D But tbh...43'' is the maximum in my opinion...for this close as I am. It's just that...gaming monitors with those specs and around 43'' either don't exist or cost more than a car AND they don't make OLEDs so small...So I guess...if they ever start selling the 48'' LG CX in my country, I'll sell the 55'' and buy it. I also got the 55'' at a 30% discount so...selling it wont be a huge loss for me. But let's see, I might get used to it.

[@BotsHateMe]

Why would you want a TN panel when there are 1440p 240hz IPS and VA displays? TN is a dying breed.

[@supermanlift]

@@BotsHateMe TN is faster with less blurring. All of these G2G response time numbers are with pixel overdrive. Which smears and ruins the image. Physics dictate why TN will always be the fastest. No amount of innovation can change that. Until OLED and micro LED become available.

@@BotsHateMe TN also doesn't suffer glow/bleed so much as other panel techs. Some of us still prefer it.

I just purchased the LG GN950 a week or so ago. The monitor is amazing. Only thing is the IPS bleed in the lower left corner is bad but I can get over it. I run most games in 1440P right now because I am still on a 1080ti strix. The level of detail and colors are a huge jump from my 34 inch Alienware and my 27 inch 144hz 1440P Dell monitors.

[@IndyMiraaga]

I've been running the LG 32GK650-F that you guys used to use for video communication while filming, it's been an amazing experience and my 2070 Super handles most 1440p High FPS gaming like a champ. Only downside is incompatibility with my Xbox One X, which refuses to let me use 1440p 120 Hz even when using an HDMI 2.1 cable. Makes me hesitant to grab a Series X right away, if I can't get 1440p 120 on the console then I have no reason to buy it...

I will recommend LG's OLED 4K HDR TVs. 120 hz, 4K, OLED (superior to LCD) and real HDR. If you have the ability to use a fairly large TV, this is superior for immersion and AAA and AA and indie/old games than ANY other LCD gaming panel by far. It also is better for competitive gaming thant 120-144hz LCD panels, but not as good as 1080p 360hz or 1440p 240hz for that.

[@GewelReal]

IMO it's too big for anything competitive

[@supremeleader9872]

[@AVerySillySausage]

It's too big. Not only for comfortable monitor distance viewing but just the PPI is too low. Many people are argue "what is the point of going 4k if your display is too small" but I would argue the opposite. What is the point of upgrading to 4k only to end up losing Pixel density in the process. 40" is the absolutely maxium I would go since it has at least the same PPI 1440p 27inch but really I would want it to be sharper.

[@danielvelkovski3156]

Kris where did you get that info from? The 48” has the highest pixel density amongst the cx linup: “pixel density of 8 million pixels, which the company says offers density comparable to an 96-inch 8K set”. The clarity is one of the best.

[@AVerySillySausage]

@@danielvelkovski3156 Do you know what pixel density is? It's the highest density in the line up because it's the smallest. 1440p 27" is a higher density, it matters at monitor distance, it will look less sharp.
