LG C2 OLED | Ultra-Wide Aspect Ratio Setup & In-Game Testing

[@MisterRhul]

I've bought the 42 inches already planning to use this in 21:9 proportion. Absolutely perfect. And 16:9 to watch Streaming content. The ultimate display.

[@canny7x]

Thanks so much for posting this... Other reviewers just skip over this without a second thought. Well, I guess they might not even know about it. Most of them don't really use most of the stuff they review.

[@Endorsememe]

Thanks! Keep in mind 21:9 is a massive advantage in Diablo 4 or Lost Ark.

[@gtifury310]

Duuuude, this is quality content. I originally had the Alienware QD OLED on order, but availability and the fact that I watch more than I game pushed me to the 42" C2. Having the ability to run 21:9 in game and easily switch back for content is a HUGE arrow in the C2's quiver. I'm even more happy with my decision now. Jumping on Vanguard and Madden right now to try it out lol

[@AllAboutTKK]

Awesome man, I’m very happy I could help.

[@volcalstone]

The Alienware is in stock now but I'm in the same situation as you were. I'm gonna go with the 42" C2 instead tho due to this video. Having to switch aspect ratio is awesome. I was considering the 42" A90K too but this C2 is more gaming focus which I'm mainly gonna do on this display. I have a 77" A80J for my movie and show watching.

[@drunkhusband6257]

@@volcalstone About the only thing the C2 has over the A90k is a slight bit less input lag

[@AllAboutTKK]

True Ultrawide support, native and more accurate Gsync support. If it’s for a pc and gaming the C2 is the better of the two.

[@drunkhusband6257]

@@AllAboutTKK As an owner of an A80J, ultrawide is just a custom resolution away, and I dunno how it's more accurate gsync, they are pretty much identical unless I'm missing something.

Hey! i got the LG c2 today, the 42", and i figured out why it keeps resizing to fullscreen and all stretched out, in the nvidia control panel u can go to "adjust desktop size and position" and u can then go to the scaling tab and click on "no scaling", this made the screen stay on 21:9 for me! :D (if this doesnt work then override scaling behavior by games button needs to be checked) and thanks for the video, i very much enjoy the display :)

Thanks for making this video man. I'm going with the 42" C2 instead of the 42" A90K or 34" Alienware QD-OLED because of this. They're all around the same price rn. I might wait for the C2 to drop below $1K maybe during BF cause I'm not in a rush.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Absolutely

[@abhishekab1]

you can t do this on A90K?

[@fehbari]

Switched from an Alienware QD-OLED, and I really like how versatile this TV is. With the 34", games without ultrawide support turned it into a smaller 27" monitor (looking at you Elden Ring). With the C2 I get the full 42" for 16:9 games, and a roughly 40" ultrawide whenever I want to play games like that (online FPS, etc). It's great, best of both worlds. I can also watch higher resolution (4K) movies from streaming services. The ultrawide was often just 1080p because that's what most services limited it to.

Love your content. I'm still getting antiquated with my new 42" C2. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get that "21:9" thing to work with Ultrawide resolution and with HDR. I spent the whole day trying to get my custom rez/HDR to work in FC6, Origins or Legions but nothing I did made it work. I would just get crashes and with out HDR it's so flat and washed out, can't go back to no HDR! I was finally able to use CRU to add a custom resolution into NVCP and THAT changed everything! Any custom rez, HDR and 120FPS will work now. Tested in FC6, Origins and Legions but will do more just to make sure. I'm still getting used to this thing after the 38" Ultrawide but I'm loving it! The colors and HDR, WOW! And 42" really ain't that big tbh and I used to have a 28" 4K monitor years ago lol

Can you please share how you did this? I’m having the same issue. When I go into windows display settings, hdr is turned off. When I turn it on, screen goes black and the hdr setting remains off. I setup 3840x1620 as the custom resolution and the TV set to 21:9. I believe I have g sync working and 120fps as that is what is showing when I go to game optimizer settings. I love playing in ultra wide but looking to get the brightness back and hdr when switching the tv to 21:9.

[@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

@@CottnCandyNinjaGB You have to use Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) to make a Detailed Resolution (ex: 3840*1620 or 3840*1800) which will then appear in NVCP or in Windows Display. This is the trick to making HDR work. Simply setting a Custom Resolution in NVCP will not work.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Outside of video editing helping you get more on the screen for your track bars. The Ultrawide is a significantly lower resolution though the panel technology is better. Personally for me, 4090 is an over buy for any Ultrawide. I guess it all depends on preference and what selection of titles you plan on playing.

@@AllAboutTKK It is a very tough decision for me. I play on both console and PC. On PC, I can more about performance (ex. frame rate) than graphic quality.

@@mnoble0902 the fact that you play on console makes the choice even easier, they simply aren’t ultra wide,.. If you 16:9 on that monitor then you are running QHD.

C2 42" not Evo panel. Not that you can tell they are there when gaming or anything but if you pay attention you can see them. Maybe sometimes when you have flat colors at the top like a sky for instance you might be able to see it. I am now trying to fix them by using it in 16:9 for a while to see if they even out and the difference is less noticeable. I guess the pixels have a burning period and a limit and they won't keep on getting brighter and brighter for ever.

I did. Coming from a 34" curved ultrawide, it was a little weird at first, as if the TV was curved in the opposite direction (like an old CRT). But it was just an optical illusion of sorts. It went away after about a week and I got used to the C2. If I use the old monitor now, that looks weird instead. Funny how brains work. I really like how versatile the TV is. With the 34", games without ultrawide support turned it into a smaller 27" monitor. With the C2 I get the full 42" for 16:9 games, and a roughly 40" ultrawide whenever I want to play games like that (online FPS, etc). It's great. I can also watch higher resolution (4K) movies from streaming services. The ultrawide was often just 1080p because that's what most services limited it to.

I shall take notes on this.

[@mouloudamazing1962]

Why fps are Not the same after change aspect ratio ?

[@deepak9212]

Thanks for this Informative video. Is there any setting to have the picture size to 27" or 24" . That picture size would be better suited to FPS gaming.

[@AllAboutTKK]

No sir, that is not an option. In the 16:9 aspect ration the tv size is the tv size.

[@deepak9212]

@@AllAboutTKK Thanks for taking the time to reply. In that case I would go for Aorus fO48u gaming monitor which uses a downgraded version of LG C1 OLED panel, but is a few hundred dollars cheaper and most importantly has support for the sweet sweet 27" picture size.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Facts! Smart man.

[@ruffierniert]

I think you propably could force it through gpu driver. atleast on amd it should be possible. if I chooser "scaling mode: centered" and reduce the resolution, my picture gets smaller. so 1080p should be 1/4 of the whole size which equals around 22". maybe 1440p would be around 27". you would have a small screen with borders all around the center.

[@Dx-so7jm]

Is it actually ultrawide though ? Because if the horizontal resolution is still 3840 are you really seeing more ?

[@AllAboutTKK]

That’s Ultrawide that’s the equal of 2 1920 by 1080 panels next to each other. Same as the Samsung ultra that’s 49”.

[@Dx-so7jm]

@@AllAboutTKK i must be confused as most 16x9 1440p monitors are 2440x1440 And most ultrawides are 3440x1440 so there is a change in horizontal resolution I guess i am confused why the lg oled in 16x9 has 3840x2160 and the 21x9 mode has the same 3840 horizontal resolution

[@AllAboutTKK]

It’s okay. “Superwide” acts as double. So again let’s reference the Samsung Superwide monitors. Their 49” is 3840x1080, which is 1920x1080 2x the 1080 doesn’t change, it’s the first number, which gives you the 32:9 aspect ratio. This is truly ultra wide or super wide. I can confirm having also own a Superwide and an Ultrawide, even the detail of depth and view is there.

[@Dx-so7jm]

@@AllAboutTKK in your samsung reference there is an increase in the first number , but when the LG goes into ultrawide mode the first number stays the same so there seems to be no increase , i appreciate all your info as there are not many folks digging into the PC usage with all these TVs , mad props for that bro

[@AllAboutTKK]

But there is an increase. You still have to go and change the resolution on the PC, when you change it, it’ll be the exact same.

[@ADOS_DSGB]

Man how do you sit that close to a 42" without getting dizzy? Lol. I recently bought the 42" C2 and exchanged it for a LG Ultra Gear 27" oled monitor because the 42" was just too big for my small room. The 27" is perfect.

The only thing I see that maybe a problem is that in the ultrawide mode you see more but your also further away from the character your playing as. When you switched to 16:9 it zoomed in and got you more into the action and the details of the design on the characters. Not sure I like the ultrawide.

[@AllAboutTKK]

It’s a different experience for sure, but I’m impressed the tv handles it pretty much identical to an actual UW monitor.

[@deltaeternum9270]

Yo is it possible to do this on the C1? I can change my resolution in the nvidia control panel but don’t do anything on the TV itself since the options aren’t the same. It looks ok but maybe a tad blurry so might be missing something

You can do a custom resolution with windows I’m sure but the 2022 models were made with ultrawide as a feature.

I think I go with C2 over Alienware QD OLED, since streaming services run at 1080P on 1440P Ultrawide. C2 is more versatile.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Absolutely.

[@ni55an86]

Just an FYI. You don't need this feature to do this. in the nvidia control pannel you can create custom resolutions and just make sure the display isn't using any aspect ratio stretch. Works for any panel any brand.

[@AllAboutTKK]

But this is the first tv with ultrawide support actually built into it. Displays before it, like C1, did aspect ratio stretch. But yes custom has been a thing as you said, this video was made when the tv dropped because it was a new feature for the tv market at that time. Followed by S95B and then in 2023 mostly all of them could.

[@WilliamUK.]

I have got 55inch LG C2. When i set AC Valhalla to quality mode which is 4K/30fps on ps5, the game optimizer menu shows 60fps. How? This means the game 4K/60fps?

[@AllAboutTKK]

No. Means the optimizer is just showing you what the dashboard is set on, not the actual fps of the game. This feature does not work without flaw on console. Only does it on PC.

[@Captain-Chats]

I have just done exactly what you have said but my nivida frame rate counter is showing 153fps on halo infinit. How is this possible when the tv can only go up to 120? Or am I missing something here

[@AllAboutTKK]

It’s possible because your GPU is pushing more frames. If you turn on Vsync, it will limit it to what the display can do. You probably have some screen tearing happening also.

[@Captain-Chats]

@@AllAboutTKK you were correct vsync on and it’s now reading as it should thanks

I was stuck between this and the alienware 34 inch for such a long time. I ended up getting the L2 and it is unrivalled if you're looking to play with a controller. But.... it IS too big for a fps game. And it's also too big to work from home with. I liked the 21 by 9 setting but with a crappy woek laptop it will only kick out 1080p. Such a shame. I wanted it to work more than anything. I've ordered the alienware and I think an ultrawide will suit my own needs much better.

If you don’t change this in NCP, you get a stretched image vertically.
