LG C2 OLED 42” is the Perfect Desk Setup Monitor & TV ?

I would recommend a couple of safety tips against burn in - hide your taskbar - hide your desktop icons - use a cycle of wallpapers, if animated, even better I got mine a couple of weeks ago and love it, never going back

[@allankimuli1045]

Perfect, I'll remember this!

[@aster22380]

Most. Modern panels don't burn in any more as the led isn't static it's constantly moving

[@Enrique.V]

That kind of helps, but things like the taskbar requires too much pixels, it can't be moved that much

I have a question ! How did he connect the pc and the screen turned to windows? Does the pc do that? Or did he connect a laptop to the tv monitor then was able to see windows?

[@arvs7356]

Correction: the multi-view function DOES NOT support 2 HDMI devices, it will only allow you to do 1 HDMI + Screenshare. I’ve bought the C2 42 and everything has been good except for this stupid lack of 2 HDMI inputs for PIP/PBP.

[@pateffect]

tough one, will they bring it in a firmware update ?

[@arvs7356]

@@pateffect nope, doubt so. The C1 had this feature missing as well, and that model was in the market for more than a year already.

[@Sacob88]

that's a deal breaker for me as a monitor

[@LonewolfyXD]

I bought the C2 expecting that feature since it has multiview..... So just after i bought the C2 the C3 came out with the dual hdmi feature i wanted in the first place. Whats the point of saying something has something when in reality it has half the function of what it should have.

[@Zokeh]

​@@LonewolfyXDThe C3 only has PiP on 55" and above. LG 42C3 & LG 48C3 does not support picture in picture / dual screen through 2x HDMI.

Are the colors accurate? Compared to print or App/website?

[@DarthHater100]

I just have a cheap 43 inch 4k TV that I use as a monitor, and it looks amazing. I can only imagine how good this one looks. They had them on for $299 so I gave it a try, and it's so bright, colorful, and sharp. Even at like 2 feet away you can't see the individual pixels. Like an iPhone. Just crisp. It gives you so much screen real estate and is like a breath of fresh air after getting home from work where I use a regular 27 inch LCD monitor. I just don't get people with their little dim laptop screens. I'll probably go blind or get puckered eyes, but the 4K TV looks sweet as a computer screen.

[@MrSpike77777]

I used a 43" last year and it worked good. My work doesn't have the office space so my boss told me I'd be working from home for quite awhile so I decided to get a C1 48. The 43 was washed out in comparison and the blacks were more grey but the 43" did full chroma 4:4:4 so it displayed decent text but OLED really has it beat. If you plan to use it as a pc monitor it will work fine but if you have the budget I'd highly recommend a 42 or 48 oled.

[@michaelcoussement4335]

Looks nice! But please, angle those speakers towards you or use stands to not have to squeeze them on the desk stand. First thing I notice in every post/video haha.

[@American_Devil]

@@johnedwards3489 it really is. My neck appreciates it

[@nabiljemel2838]

That hight is not healthy for your neck, the upper edge of the screen should be at eyes level so you do not need to look up. Believe me this is coming form a computer engineer who spent thousand of dollars at physiotherapy and orthopedists due to side effects of elongated neck strains.

[@divi1223]

Thanks for the info sir

[@zodiacfml]

yes. I have an LG 43" TV as monitor going into 5 years now, doesn't feel big. The size feels like the minimum to get when you get past or get away from PC monitor sizes.

[@zodiacfml]

@ZnajdanGaming yeah. i want something larger on my next!

[@chrispotterfan]

how is text clarity?

[@zodiacfml]

​@@chrispotterfan Since it is LCD, no different than any LCD monitor. You just have to increase the Windows scaling so that text is not too small on a big TV. OLED TVs have problems with text like color fringing or less sharp due to the layout of OLED subpixels like the on the LG.

[@johnw91498]

thanks for the video, I just got this LG as a Christmas gift and so far, I'm blown away by the colors...

[@visualsbydavid_]

Every video you put out gets me excited to create a real desk set-up/office and not just have a desk with my computer... Great video!

[@xhobv02]

Just bought LG C3 and I love it. What about OLED burn-in? Did you notice something?

[@Jay-xq1dc]

Tips for those watching this video, don't do the same mistake as the video, use auto hide your start menu to prevent burn-in. Enable pixel shift, use dark mode on Windows, apps, browser and websites. Activate backgrounds that automatically are changing.

[@donkeysunited]

And probably don't put it up on a monitor riser. This is the only channel I've seen where the TV has not been close to the desk. All ergonomics guides say the top of the monitor should be at eye level and that's already hard with a 42" TV. Raising it up further is not going to help.

[@Jay-xq1dc]

@@donkeysunited I was not aware of that, thanks!

[@donkeysunited]

@@Jay-xq1dc I have to take back my comment. I just set up this monitor today and it was too low on my desk. The top of the TV was below my eye level. The stand on this TV is really low compared to normal monitors. I have it up on my old monitor riser now and I think it might be a touch too high but I'll try it out until I can find a happy medium. Something I have noticed about auto-hiding the taskbar - there is still a grey line in the lower left from the search box and the active app icon. So it doesn't hide the task bar fully. That could be troublesome.

[@IwinMahWay]

No

[@Cursey69]

Try hooking your MAC with a USBC to HDMI 2.1 Adapter. It will allow you to run at 120 hertz in 4k with your LG C2. I know that this video is 2 years old but I tried this with my LG OLED C4 and my M1 Mac and now it runs at 144 Hertz in 4k and 8k at 60 hertz. I hope this information helps. Let me know your thoughts. I know this information will also help a lot of people that use TV's as monitors.

[@iBarNyz_PR]

I have the LG CX 48" as a pc monitor and i love it, you did a great review and after seeing this video i will try to get this LGC2 42" for this Christmas !

[@mugurelbudara4028]

Neah, I had a 32 inch and moved to a 27 inch pc monitor. The 32 inch was simply too big for the distance from my eyes to the monitor. plus this one forces you to keep your head high, might hurt your neck.

[@MrSpike77777]

Nice review, I was planning to get the C2 42" but got the C1 48" since the sale price was almost half of the 42". I like how light the 42" looks in comparison, I've had the 48" for almost 3 weeks and with a deep desk it's been great. Instead of a wall mount I've been looking at desk mount arms that will support and raise it high enough. Haven't found anything that looks good for the size/weight yet. The Ergotron looks nice but only raises 11".

@@MrSpike77777 it’s probably not an evo panel then. Turns out they suffer from pink tint due to the way the anti reflective layer is aligned. Seems the cast majority have the issue. Shame cos I wanted to love it.

[@meteor1522]

I’ve had mine for 3 months. The quality is amazing, but the size is just too big to be used comfortably on a desk. It kinda hurts my eyes and even makes me a little motion sick when playing fast-paced games. I’m considering replacing it with a 32” 4K OLED now.

Im typing this on a LG OLED 48' C1 right now and it's a little too big for desk use. It also looks like trash with the new Macbook Pros as they only support 60hz over HDMI and you cannot bypass it with a dongle as the C1 does not have Display port. Might be able to get it done with the LG C2.

If burn in is a concern, I would just get an extended warranty that covers burn in from a big box store like Best Buy. Best Buy offers a 5 year plan on the 42" C2 for ~$180US that covers everything including burn in. Small price to pay for piece of mind, especially if you plan on keeping the monitor for more than a few years.
