You pointed out why its not selling well. Needing to use the base, not an Vesa mountable type product limits where you can use it. Its uses A LOT of space while being 2x + more expensive than an LG C3 at the same size.

Needing to use the mount would be less of an issue if one could move the monitor more than minimally. An almost fully set mount is a deal breaker for a lot of people. Even if I'd consider using such a large screen for my setup, the mount alone would be enough for me to look elsewhere.

Exactly! I was in the market for a oled for my pc around 2/3 years ago after I got a CX65 for the living room, oled monitors were just about coming to the market at insane prices of £2500+ for 34 inch ultrawide so instead I just got a C148 for £850 for my pc and PS5 and it has been amazing, the only issue is its too big for general pc usage (amazing for games though) and I think the 42 inch models are much more practical

Definitely a good thing to consider, I did that but using it for programming the pixel density at 42” and my seating distance wasn’t a good fit, ended up returning sadly. Was great for games though. I’ll grab a 32” OLED 4k monitor soon. Warranty for burn in (not super concerned given how I work flipping between different apps frequently and also play games in the evening) plus 240hz will be nice.

Jay - I bought an LG C3 42 Oled at Costco with free 5 year warranty. Using as monitor and very happy with it.

I went to Micro Center for the first time ever to pick up the last R5 7600 in a 200-mile radius. (this include the competition's stores) I wish I could have stayed longer. The deals, the amount of options, the stock, and the fact that we can see before we buy, was something I have missed so bad. Live demos, and racing sims for people to play. The professional dressed staff that is actually knowledgeable and passionate about tech. Almost EVERYTHING was on sale and under competitor pricing. It was worth the 2 hour 5 min drive. I know where I'm buying from for my next PC build!

I've been running the 48" C1 as a monitor since it came out, and it's been fantastic! Zero burn in or other issues with many hours of daily use for the past however many years. The only thing I don't like about it is if I'm watching KZread not full screened or messing with documents in Windows, it will dim quite a bit until I grab a window and move it around the screen to get the brightness back.

Beautiful RS6! Surprised this couldn’t fit in the back, that car is spacious!

Got myself a 42" C2 last year, when the prices came down. Attached to an Ergotron HX arm it fits my setup beautifully. OLED just makes every gaming setup more enjoyable.

21:00 Jeffrey : "Og Loc !?!? it's O.G.Loc, homie, O.G.Loc" Carl : "Ah, my bad; how was it ?"

I was at one of the stores in the midwest recently and most of their monitors were down on display desks. with systems attached and mouse and keyboard so you could get on the web and view different content on them. Was really nice to be able to test them that thoroughly.

I literally was going to purchase this exact tv/monitor. I didn't end up purchasing it since the screen is plastic due to the bend, which in my experience, micro scratches too easily when cleaning gently (G8 OLED, DWF etc). Ended up w/ the C3 42" instead. Still love the flex though!

I have an over 15 yr old HP monitor that still works. I use it for a second work monitor. It looks better than the POS my job gave me. They don't make em like they used too.

I got the LG48GQ900B 4K Oled monitor for a year now, and i love it. I use it for work and gaming.

Always love this format of intro’s Jay keep up the great work ❤

I'm headed up to my closest microcenter in about two weeks and i'm excited. i already have the build list with where everything is in the store, and i can't wait to actually build it!

I love these videos of you/crew going around Micro Centre and going through things as we would see them.

Agree, I am having a difficult time believing it is twice as good as the C3. I have been using the 42" for about a year and it's been fantastic. I feel like it isn't big enough to really require a curved display. My other PC has a 49" ultrawide and the curved screen is 100% necessary. Another bonus is that I wall-mounted it so I have more desk space. Downside is you have to use the remote to turn it on and off, but I have gotten used to it.

I use an 8K 55" Samsung QN700B as my monitor. Absolutely love it, with a window manager its an infinitely adjustable bezel-less multi monitor setup.

So...that title. I thought you were adding a monitor TO your car, and got real excited to see what you were going to use it for.

When I watch these videos I am always learning new things, after 30 years of being a computer geek. Love you guys ❤❤❤

there was a Helldivers 1 and it was awesome! just played very differently tough

That's pretty cool that you can flatten or curve it- they finally found a use case for flexible screens! I thought that the idea was always neat but I could never think of a practical use case for a flexible use. I'd love one of these as my secondary PC monitor- the reason for that is that my PC is in the middle of the room, I have my main 3 27 inch monitors on my main work side but I also use a 4th 27 inch on the opposite side- that way if I'm the only one watching on it I'll curve it but if I've got guests I can flatten it out so everyone can watch. (Also got 2 keyboards and 2 mice hooked up- the only problem having 2 of each causes is when I restart my rig it won't boot, can't even get into the bios with 2 plugged in so I have to detach my second mouse/keyboard when restarting- not a big deal really.

The IR extender thingy is actually called "IR Blaster" and it's really neat! I has nothing to do with using the remote from someplace else (btw the cursor feature of the remote has no reliance whatsoever with IR, it must use an accelerometer to control cursor motion, as I've tested it works even from my bedroom upstairs when the TV is a freaking floor below me lol), you can configure any device that needs an IR remote to the TV and then you can control it using the LG remote as a sort of universal remote. Saw someone saying it's for AV receiver to communicate with the TV but it's actually the other way around. You can use it to control your home theater, blu ray player, whatever.

I got 3 of these and put them at 100% curve around me. Excellent monitors!

I bought a LG 27in oled 1440p monitor not long ago and it's so nice. Don't like the auto-dimming and sleep mode(?) that can't be turned off, but im learning to live with it.

7:30 You could wallmount the stand :D Like... Actually making some room in the wall and kinda "inserting" the base into the wall.

Can’t WAIT till the MicroCenter is open here in Charlotte, NC!

I enjoyed some of the filming and editing elements in this video. Very engaging. That monitor looks wicked but very impractical. I love Micro Center. I live 3 miles away.

I use a 42 in LG C2, the key is turning off some of the TVs anti - burn in features (auto dimming on whites etc) , you need an LG service remote and access code, easily found on line. (toms hardware has a guide on this) This likely voids warranty so I waited a few months before doing it . I changed my desktop and programs to dark modes and set pc to turnoff signal after 5 min idle to mitigate burn in risk ..So far I love it.

Honestly, any video that you produce is worth watching!!.... BTW, that's one badass monitor/tv!!

20:14 lol watching Jay play Cyberpunk, 10/10. 🤣 Monitor is awesome too btw, so pricy, but still cool.

I use a 55" LG CX for my daily gaming, work, and the occasional movie (Have a 133" Movie screen in the basement) and it's basically 4x 27" 1080P monitors without the bezel. Totally worth it in my mind and got it for less than a grand from costco a few years ago.

I'd love to be able to find an affordable "just a panel" that I can use on my PC and TV or Streaming display Mental Note to Jay: Whenever you go to Microcenter, Take the Truck

I definitely would be interested in a follow up update

Back in ‘18 I went to a Fry’s to check out monitors. Best Buy’s selection was comical and microcenters don’t exist anywhere near me. I would’ve ordered a standard sized screen online but after seeing them in person I had to get an ultrawide curved screen.

Thank you for reviewing this!!! This ticks so many boxes under my "ideal monitor" criteria. I would definitely spend the $ for this if I could afford it at all. The size and resolution are just right for 4k, but I wanted something that would be a curved 16:9 panel as well. What interests me is, is this a good productivity monitor? Can you try reading a big Excel spreadsheet or pdf form? Is local dimming an issue? I do wish the ROG panel would incorporate the motorized curve... that would be just about perfect, since it has the Display Port input and some other monitor specific things.

For DisplayPort or HDMI try to buy 2.1. Especially DP 2.1 at 80 gb/s or you'll end up with DP 1.4 at 32.4 gb/s and bandwidth bottleneck.

Jay, sincerely hope you're doing we'll. Yes! I would like to know what your 6-12 month review would be and/or they had any additional upgrade to the item itself. I assume this would be great for mmos and my PS5 Pro (when it comes out). Thank you and take care!

I would love to see a 6 month and a 1 year of this monitor!

I’m a tv nerd, so I just couldn’t get around the compromises that need to be made for a computer monitor as far as media consumption is concerned.

Glad to hear your car is motorized!!

My wife and I both have UltraGear 48GQ900 and love them!

I've got a ThinkVision P40w-20 from a couple of years ago. It's IPS, not OLED, and it tops out at 75Hz with no VRR, and it was about the same price. But it's a curved 5K ultrawide monitor, with ThunderBolt and DisplayPort inputs, which supports VESA mounts. And I really have to say, at that size I at least need the curve, and it's pretty awesome.

Having an LG TV with WebOS in the UK, the coaxial is probably for the aerial which used to be an analogue signal in the UK until they turned it off and just use digital signal through the aerial. In the UK this input is used for Freeview which is a service for all the free channels and some paid for by the license fee e.g. BBC

I wish we had a Microcentre in Australia. What an awesome showroom/warehouse.

Great review. I would love to have a follow up to see how it is to use daily. I feel it would be really helpful.

It took me forever to talk myself into getting a new monitor and spending over $1k was a a difficult aspect, but lacking simple and common features would have been a deal breaker. I like the idea of this monitor/tv, especially if I had a good place for both gaming and TV (no consoles in my house as of right now), but you read out the actual problems with this monitor out of the gate. Cost, VESA, Stand only, Power Cable, HDMI only. I think the HDMI only is a tiny issue, but it's another cable when I have plenty of older HDMI cables and new DP cables. But not being able to VESA mount it is a huge issue for a lot of people, and if it had been available, not being able to pull the power cord for running through a wall or through a pipe/tube when doing so would also ruin it. You're right, this is a great panel for multi use, some TV and console mixed in, but it's missing just enough on one or both of those to make it less of a good deal for most. The VESA mount one still stands out the most. I have a few year old LG 32" that came with a tripod leg style stand, which was okay for putting some items below the monitor (and had a good amount of adjustment for height/tilt/turning), but the 49" Samsung has a similar stand to the one you have here, flat foot with a flat back, and that means things like my mixer can't be dead center like it used to be. Tiny thing, but it's QOL just the same. The stand also lacks enough height adjustment (On the Samsung) to make it sit at a good height. At normal sitting height I'm about to the top edge of the screen, which sucks for a lot of reasons. VESA mounting solved both of those issues for me. I also couldn't imagine a TV without a VESA mount as an option today. The old Sony 65" I have came with little feet for a stand and they sucked, but being able to buy a stand with worthwhile height and turning adjustments made it work where I needed it, and that was thanks to having the VESA mount. Thanks for the review/unboxing, it was a good watch. I do think my next monitor will be an LG, but not this one in particular. The LG software is just hands down better than the Samsung one on this G9 OLED, and they seem to at least take some time to think about the product they're releasing instead of just dumping it and leaving it like Samsung seems to with everything they make.

Now that I have a bigger desk to work with I'm definitely planning on changing my monitor setup. Right now I have a BenQ 24" 1080P and this ridiculously old Acer monitor that I have that's still humming along. I'm thinking dual 27" 1440P displays at least.

I love your content Jay. You inspire me to do PC building. I’ve been building pc’s for three years. 2:47

I've had the LG OLED Flex for a year now, and use it primarily for my WFH setup and some16:9 gaming. It's really a great panel, and has much less obnoxious ABL from previous LG OLEDs. However, the QD OLEDs are noticeably brighter, have better HDR, and have more vivid colors in general, iI would say.

I am convinced 1 large screen is best. I have had the lg c2 for a while now. But I think the os is holding it back. Power toys fancy zones helps but want to see it baked into the os. I am talking mostly productivity

I have an LG 65” C2, and I am very happy with it; but I do have to keep resetting everything to the max after an update.

I'm running the Samsung Ark gen 2 and man... best purchase for my p.c set up so far.

i would love to see a 6 month review. i just built my new pc after years of talking about it(i think you were still in the old studio when i started to save up) and im wanting to go with a 1440p monitor so knowing if you are happy with 1080p then that could change my mind.

LG has made a monitor that can give you a hug. An Emotional Support Monitor for fledgeling E-Sports players.

Haha I saw you guys loading it. needed a van like my company one to load it 😁

I'm actually planning to get this one. I knew it was this one from the "motorized??" remark as well. - But I love "hybrid" stuff, because yes, this really is like a kind of "media center" rather than just a TV or just a monitor. - There's something that feels "premium" about a TV-screen, especially if you get chips and software thrown at it like WebOS, which gets updated regularly, and it doesn't feel as "stuck in time" as a monitor usually is. - It might also make it a little more "bloated" in terms of features, but at least you get plenty of features rather than the often limited "built in" software on monitors that often doesn't really get updated or as much effort put into them. - But yea, it's also actually marketed as a kind of "general purpose media center" type product if you look at its webpage and promo-videos and all that. It's actually why it appeals to me, because I kinda got tired of... "monitors"... I don't know what it is about them, but they always just feel... "tool like". It's hard to explain, but they tend to have a crappy, wobbly and tacky stand, again the rather cheap software on them... Things like that. I think it's because they're often so "gamer focused", with all the marketing-speak and often "edgy" (and inefficient) designs and such, and I'm not "that crowd". - The Flex is just "screen on sturdy foot", like it's a proper screen with bespoke stand, a completely unique thing that's worth basing your setup around.

And I would not miss any of the smart features of my TV that I use as a monitor. I have yet to use any app on it or the webstore. Settings aren't as responsive as on a regular monitor, and are structured weirdly (you go to 3 different places to control colors for example). The remote is nice for navigation, so the setting could really take advantage of that. I get that smart TV features are useful for others, so they are fine, but the setting could really be better.

Several years ago, I bought a Samsung KS8000 SUHD Television, as I had read it had really low input lag. I did buy a refurbished unit, and it worked fine for the whole time I owned it, but my gaming performance wasn't all that great. I couldn't get into Fornite or some other popular shooters because something felt off. I thought it was just me getting older, and I began to accept that was how things were going to be..........UNTIL I finally got an LG C9 OLED to replace that Samsung KS8000, and Oh. My. Lord. I finally got a Victory Royale, starting finishing in the top three spots in COD Team Deathmatches, getting headshots, and more. Yes, there are times when one just needs to "Git Gud", but in my case it really was something external. I no longer have that KS8000, so I have to assume something was wrong with it's Game Mode.

I've been using a TV as a monitor for years now, for large spreadsheets and multitasking with database management the extra screen real estate really helps.

You don't really have "more real-estate" than any other size 4K-display. Real-estate is the amount of pixels and maybe the aspect-ratio. - Sure, it helps that a screen is larger, so you can cram windows down smaller and still see them, but you're still on a 16:9 display, which isn't necessarily "more" than another 16:9 display, unless it's below like 32" and a poor resolution.

​@@michaelmonstar4276 It's apparent you haven't taken into usability and productivity into account have you? For example Try snapping 4 excel windows on a 4k 27inch Display and compare that with a 42inch 4k Display. Or a PDF viewer in 1 quadrant, a database in another, sharepoint in another and teams in final quadrant.

Definitely would watch a 6 month update. It’s a dope looking panel.

I love Micro Center (Tustin). I get over there as much as I can...most of the time window shopping. 🙂 Loved the video. I agree, the TV is really nice but it's expensive unattractive at the price LG is charging.

such a nice monitor, i remember the black and whit tv, had three channels, antana, they shut down at 12 midnight. yeah im that old i guess. sucks. i love technology, its come so far in my lifetime. sir take good care of your self, never give up. i know its not easy, nothing ever is.

Said hello to you at the airport on the 18th! Im glad youre doing better and that youre such a great guy. Hope I can work for you or with you one day.

I actually went to MicroCenter a few months ago to see an LG Ultrawide in person before I bought it. I'm lucky to have one close by me!

Can I say how crazy it is that I'm realizing how good of enunciation Jay has with " monitor".

Love my c1 48in oled. Use it as a monitor and no burn in. Heck i have a 55in c8 oled and still no burn in or image retention. Id never go back to lcd technology until micro led (not mini led) comes out for customers.

Ive used the 48" CX, currently using the Aw3423dw but will be waiting for the 42" C4 @144hz when it drops or the 32" 4k 240/1080 480hz oled.

that's such a nicer set up MC compared to the by me in Cambridge, MA

Im personally going to be picking up the ASUS PG32UCDM 4k 240hz this week. Extremely excited for OLED gaming monitors becoming bigger and bigger and hopefully they become cheap enough for everyone to use

wish we had a micro centre in the uk

I think it is the price of the tv is what getting to people. The flex feature is really nice and 120hz is okay. As the years go back and other manufacturers incorporate similar features, where the demand and supply equals with the pricing.
