I just got this set up yesterday. I had a heck of a time updating the firmware. After several failed attempts I figured out that you can't use your mouse or keyboard if it's plugged into the integrated USB hub ports while the firmware is updating. A simple solution would be to connect your mouse or keyboard to your pc directly, or wait until the firmware update has completed. I hope I save someone the frustration of figuring it out. Also, I can't find the eye comfort setting. I saw it in the menus as a demo before I updated the firmware, but it's missing after the update.

I have got the LG C1 VESA Mounted and I'm never going back to another kind of screen setup! It's just so freaking awsome!! and also the C1 actually has support for 20-120 Hz instead of 48-120Hz! So its smooth all the way down to 20 fps so to say! and it shows! Love it!!

I have been using an older LG EG9100 OLED for years since it came out as my daily monitor for work and gaming, and I love it. I use an xbox controller for gaming, and sit on my couch with wireless hardware. I have zero burn-in, and it still works as well as did on day 1. I don't think I can go back to anything else besides OLED. I actually like the dimming you mention as it saves my retinas from blowing out with those ultra bright whites. It's most likely for burn-in protection. I'm surprised he can sit so close to this without turning the brightness down quite a bit. I would prefer a 32-34" for sitting without 3-4 feet, and am waiting for those.

Linus PR Tips

7467 hours of responsible use on a 48" CX as primary monitor and never a reason to regret it's selection. The picture still looks perfect and zero IR/BI, though I've taken routine precautions from day one to prevent IR/BI... A solid black desktop, zero desktop icons, and a 3 minute signal-off screen saver are all I've used in addition to the built-in features (ABL, pixel shift, etc.) Other than that, it's been non-stop gaming, streaming, and movie watching to hit 7000+ hours in only one year of use. Much of that time is power on with nothing displayed on-screen (maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of total power-on time is actual on-screen time). I'm actually kind of curious to see how long it will last before I can see a noticeable difference in picture brightness or quality. OLED is the pinnacle of gaming displays whether using a TV or a purpose built OLED monitor. I paid the same for the CX as this monitor, so there's no difference from a pricing perspective. IMO, I think I'd rather have the Smart TV features over a dedicated OLED monitor with no built in apps because I use it for both gaming and streaming.

@vanyaleitao8202

That's an awfully long winded way of saying "I'm coping really hard with the fact I bought a TV to game with my pc" Meanwhile I have had this monitor since day one of its release. I have thousands of desktop icons. I leave it on and running allllll the time. I can relax in my own home without fear of my pixels crumbling to pieces.

Because of this review, I scoured out for this monitor as soon as possible and found the last remaining stock in my country and hurriedly went to the store and bought it. Best purchase I've ever made so far in my life! 😁 Been using TN, VA and IPS monitors for years and they does not come close to OLED. For the longest time, i've always thought HDR was just marketing gimmick but after experiencing it personally coupled with OLED, It's like seeing the world with a set of new eyes. I almost shed a tear when I ran 4K HDR content in KZread. 🤣 TL;DR, Definitely a life changing experience if you're so used viewing crappy displays all your life. Thanks Linus for the recommendation! 😉👍

I'm guessing it's because of the nVidia warning sending the wrong resolution may damage the monitor, but then why would they leave the default to Monitor if GPU scaling is safer? I did try that on my Gigabyte M32U. It took 3840x1440 just fine. I played Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep..blah, blah, blah (the stand alone version). Once it ran with that ultrawide resolution, it stayed as an option even after I reverted my global resolution back to 3840x2160.

Hi Linus, thanks for yet another impressive video. A quick question, would you recommend this monitor or the FV43U for gaming and watching movies?

Man, looking at all the cool tech gradually becoming more mainstream makes me want to hold off on upgrading from my TN panel. I love good looking stuff but I kind of just want to wait a couple years and get a nice oled or qd oled Also at least in the US, using a monitor in a way that doesn’t damage it, including modifications, CANT legally void a warranty (Magnuson-moss warranty act) no matter what conditions the warranty says. I’d love to hear if there is a Canadian, European, or Australian equivalent too.

Developer here. You got it spot on. Using the 43" version and the built in KVM to switch between my Linux laptop and my windows desktop. If you plan on doing this, please remember to update the firmware, as one of the benefits is that the KVM switches faster :D

I have the FV43U as well. It’s brilliant hardware, but the software is horrible.

I will never go back to a monitor without built-in KVM.

never in my life have I given anything more than a passing thought to these dreaded "black bars" that seem to guide so many-people's decision making. One thing I do know is that all display prices are in freefall and a 32" IPS gaming display I am watching dropped in price twice over the weekend and although it is sold on NewEgg, the price was so absurdly low I still felt it was a scam. It wasn't, it's just what is happening with what seems all electronic equipment. With OLED gaming displays, I want to know how screen burn is addressed, it's all I care about as the way in which I game, my displays will be put in situations in which if they are susceptible to screen burn, they will. I don't want to see a ghost of my Valheim lobby for the next 2 years...

Dude you're the goat you showed me how to build my first pc and now I'm about buy this as my primary console monitor. Thanks for the review!

Kinda forgot to mention this (quoting an ebay customer review): "There are a few quirks and limitations to be aware of. PS5 in 4K 120hz HDR mode seems to be limiting quality to YUV 420 over HDMI mode which reduces the image quality which is a bit disappointing given it heavily advertises HDMI 2.1 support while that output mode is a limit of HDMI 2.0b. Also, the OSD for accessing the display's configuration can only be accessed while connected to a Windows PC with some "OSD Sidekick" software installed. The OSD sidekick software seems buggy and crashes/hangs frequently". Otherwise, nice sales pitch, thumbs up!!! ;-)

why you need Linus how mad are you?

I manufacture led panels for large screens like Jumbotrons and the such, Inorder to avoid the pixels becoming burned in whst we do is basically brute force through the problem, we order leds that are by default have a much higher brightness than we desire and then burn them all in once on the panels that way relatively they dont really change noticeable after that

also for supreme commander at least the first one.. you could also run dual displays with one monitor acting as mini map while the other was close in or you could have two close in perspectives... i think they went away from that later since its kinda broken for multiplayer... dual display people get a huge bonus... Like you can to attack the enemys base while keeping track of you own...

I used a 48" 4k panel for a couple of years and the one thing I have definitively decided is anything above 43" *needs* to be curved. Even at 18-24" depth spacing, the far edges you are viewing at such an angle through the facings that you get diffraction. Very edges, you'll be happy for a few months, then it starts to annoy you. 1800R would be perfect.

I have ultrawides at work. And i start to miss the vertical space when for example video editing. So i bought a Oled 42". But the problem is the lack of curve. A monitor this size really needs it. The corners of the display is awkwardly faar away. Id love a 16:9 42" oled with curve.

The price is a little eye-watering. But it's actually not that much more than what LG OLED TV's of that size are going for, typically. And the feature-set that's more PC-centric is quite nice. I've got a 50" LG 4K LCD that's been serving me well as a monitor since 2015. It might be time for an upgrade. Though I admit, this monitor is 3 times the what I paid for my old one.

Linus, after you using this monitor for some time now, do you think it is to big or great for gaming? I have a 27" monitor, but are thinking about, getting 34" or maybe 43" but i am unsure if 43 will be much, do you have a recommendation?

Currently using my LG C9 55" for a gaming display. Whilst I'm a bit concerned with how much burn in I'll have after a couple of more years of using it, I am hoping that it'll hold out well enough for a few years before I feel the need to replace it. Hopefully by then we'll be seeing MicroLED making more of a consumer impact. I was hoping that this display would last me until a good 4K 120hz or better MicroLED came out at a reasonable size (55" or less) and price (comparable to this C9 display). Bit optimistic, I know, since there still aren't any real consumer-level MicroLED TVs yet.
