    I've been using this TV as a monitor for 1 year. I use it daily on Windows for 3D modeling, architecture and gaming. Overall I am very happy with it. The OLED holds its reputation as an amazing panel. I did a ton of research before buying it, however, after one year of use, I realize any of the reviews mentioned the weakest point on this TV. It is not auto dimming (I use mine at 20% brightness just fine), not burn-in (dark mode looks amazing), not the screen size (I want a bigger one lol). The bad part that no one talks about is: the subpixel layout on this TV creates a NOTICEABLE edge around green and yellow colors! If you work on things like websites with white background and then choose a bright green or yellow accent color for your design, that edge really shows and you will be frustrated.

    I got a C3 just before Black Friday for about $860 (plus tax). I am using it exclusively as a PC display, paired with an RTX 3080ti. The only issue I've discovered is that if I allow my system to drive the FPS past 119hz the screen goes black. But that only happened when I was trying to use the display in SDR mode, before limiting my 'Max FPS' in the control panel. I'll also note that I've used some 40" TVs for Displays in the past, and as long as I can sit an appropriate distance from the display it's just a large display.

    I didn't really like it at first because I was coming from a curved gaming monitor but after getting used to it and getting the settings tweaked just right it actually looks amazing. By far the best Monitor I've ever used with a Computer. Also, I bought the remote and removed that aggressive auto-dimming crap...it effects color and brightness even when you don't realize it is...it's far too aggressive. They removed the ability to do this on the C3, so don't get the C3 it's basically the exact same thing as the C2, in fact they hid the chip model number on the C3 as well so that people wouldn't know it's the same exact monitor.

    65 inch 4k is very low pixel density though. It's equivalent to a 32.5 inch 1080p screen, while windows is designed around 22-24" at 1080p. Of course this doesn't matter if you sit further from your display. Once 6K and 8K become commonplace resolutions we'll see monitor sizes go up again. But on 4K you don't wanna go above 55" for monitor use

The C242 is amazing for gaming and movies though so when I build my office this year that will be side extension I’ll use both (it will be narrow so 42 tv will work well). I also considered the Apple display and have 2 older thunderbolt ones but I don’t do creative work so the G9 works better for me.

    Hello there! I ran the 5700xt on a buddy of mine’s C2 and it did remarkably well however we got amazingly fair 1080p experiences and a solid 4k experience on low to medium settings going from 40 to 70 fps depending on the title. I then later on tried a 6900xt that was on a stellar sale and that seemed a bit more consistent with its frames numbers. Though to be fair I only played games that were on my radar at the time like mainstream esports titles and and the Witcher 3 , cyber punk was heck on wheels though for the 5700xt, but she pulled through a little better than I had guessed and then warframe! I wish you the best of luck with your set up and hope you have fun!!! Have a blessed day!💪🤓

    I am actually considering coming from my 32 inch LG Ips gaming monitor to this. It is on sale for 800$ I believe as of right now and honestly it looks great. Only thing I am a bit worried about is burn in from using OLED tech. I do love the color and brightness of this monitor and the size/resolution. I have a large desk(I think around 6 feet which is a table top I put on some legs) However as much as I would like my desk is a disaster of clutter from papers to mice, to multiple high ended headphones, controllers, mechanical keyboards... the things I collect. I need to find an affordable shelving system for my headpohones, controllers and keyboards. It would make cleaning this up and getting the c2 worth it.

    This is because the laptop HDMI port is 2.0, try using HDMI 2.1 to Thunderbolt 4 cable and plug it, also dont forget to disable GSync so you dont have black screens , you can use 4k 120hz, 10 bit. Also you might need to manually change the colour dept to 10 bits. I had same issue. edit: Actually C2 has 48gb bandwitch so you might be ok with Gsync. If you experience flickers or black screens disable it. Don't forget to change the HDMI input on the TV to be recognised as a PC, it will reduce the input lag even further and make your experience even smoother.

    Hey! Someone might have mentioned it already, but if not: you can still do 4k 120hz on the c2 - in the nvidia control panel select YCbCr 4:2:0 instead of rgb, it's a color compression option which some displays with high bandwidth requirement have as an option. However you can't do all three (4k, 120hz and hdr) this way, one has always got to go, chroma subsampling doesn't support hdr. I used my 42" c2 like this for almost a year, switching back and forth between 120hz sdr and 60hz hdr at 4k
