Been daily driving this thing for months tried a few other OLED ultrawides and I keep coming back to this and it comes in at under $1,000 these days I think it's the best monitor nobody knows about

I use a 48 inch OLED too. Fiiirst, you need a 80 cm (31 inch) desk for a 48" or a 60 cm (23 inch) desk for a 42". Second, you need a monitor with the lowest possible feet, idealy one with two small feet. Third, you need to remove that shelf, the eyestrain would come from the monitor being too tall, so you want it as low as possible.

Putting a 50" TV on my desk was my first foray into super-sized displays. I got used to using things in windowed mode with a nice background, almost like having a working document hovering over a window. When I needed to multi-task on Windows it was great to snap up to 4 windows into the corners and have the equivalent of 4, 24" monitors. The eye strain was an issue because we're basically looking into a floodlight that is filling our field of view. Putting some distance, getting natural light into the room, and using Night mode colors or something like fLux helps a lot. I personally use sunset colors with a beach sunset background and never have eye strain anymore.

What is the proper distance to sit from the monitor in terms of feet, and what scaling percentage you use in Windows to ensure optimal viewing at that distance?

Thanks.. That was really helpful..

Nice video. What's the keyboard you are using?

The ergotron does in fact support the whole weight of the monitor though you just need to tighten it with the Allen key provided I've had zero issues with mine swinging around moving it up moving it down

I'm using a 48" LG C1 for exactly 1 year now, I was planning to use FancyZones to split it into multiple "virtual screens", but soon realized that this means that I can't use fullscreen mode in any app anymore to still see other stuff next to it. Now I'm using it exactly as I used my single 27" before, single apps in a maximized windows or stuff like KZread and Games in fullscreen. I really want to try multi monitors instead next because I just can't change my habits, I can't stand window borders when playing in zones, or even worse watching videos with the KZread UI around it.

Lots of monitors are now supporting PBP, effectively tricking your computer it is connected to 3 or 4 monitors when in fact it is being tessellated into one screen. This can help for things not running in full screen in quadrants of the monitor. Most TVs don't support it, unfortunately.

I have the 42" C2 and the GQ900 and one on an Arm (heavy duty 50 bucks off Amazon - NB bayou) The arm actually supports its fairly well! But I agree here with you. I bought a 49" G9 and ended up returning it because it's height of a 27" is just not enough. Looks small...especially gaming. This 42" and 48" I have now... I am more than happy. OLED I should mention spoils your eyes. Once you get one all LCD become useless lol

48" arrives tomorrow. Your post makes me feel better as I do worry it will be too big for my 36" wide desk. We'll see. My old eyes need the real estate!

When my old monitor died, I hooked up my 40" TV to my PC and now use that, instead. My experience matches yours in that it takes getting used to, and you will find yourself wanting some distance from the screen. That said, I am now used to having an "oversized monitor," and I do not think I can ever go back to an "itty-bitty screen." Were I to replace my current setup, I would probably go with a 48-inch monitor.

48" 16::9 is like having 4x 24" monitors. I have been using mostly 3, 4 and 6 monitors for 20 years in various 3x1 or 3x2 (3 over 3) setups. Right now I'm running 1x49 32:9 over 2x24" 16:9 and going to a single 48" 16:9 seems like a fairly good setup. I regularly need 2-3 monitors and 2x24" monitors are too small physically when you look at the amount of time I spend zooming in and out or leaning in.... There are a lot of window arrangements what would benefit from a 48" (effectively 2 over 2 24" monitors), i.e. 21:9 sized window on top with 2 'wings' to put references and/or 2x16"9 on the bottom.

Could you discuss using this monitor for word processing? I do a lot of writing. How is it for that? Is the text crisp and easy to read? The keyboard tray is a good idea. Helpful video. Thanks

Hey Man, mind telling what kinda Keyboard tray you got there? i would love to buy this too

I have a Samsung G9 right now and have been contemplating the switch to a 48" OLED as well. One major concern I can't seem to get over is the fact that it's such a tall monitor, so it puts the camera angled way down for Zoom calls and is a weird perspective. Great video! I have the Kanto Tuks as well and the 48" monitor would def fit better with those on the desk!

I have been using Samsung 50 inch TV to pair with my Windows PC for 2+ years now. However, I mostly focus on the lower half of the screen. Using PowerToys FancyZone to separate the screen into a few zones for different windows. So, my primary zone is only about 27 inch. It is like having a few screens merged together.

What about text clarity & pixel layout issues on LG 48GQ900-B. There are a lot of people in the web complaining of headaches after working with text on this monitor. And the problem isn't the distanse to the monitor, it's text clarity

If the screen puts that much strain on your eyes, it's just way too bright... keep in mind that manufacturers assume a certain distance, if you get closer to what the pixel density of today's screens allows, then you should reduce the brightness and saturation a bit I did the same for myself and I'm sitting here in front of 5 monitors, 1x40" and 4x 32" and you notice very quickly when it's too bright

If you had a wall mount for the monitor and could pull it into the room to get it closer to a couch which is behind your desk. Would you consider that option to watch movies like that? @JesseChen

I've landed on 2 x 32" 4K for max productivity. I went from 3 x 24" 1080P to 1 x 40" 4K many years ago and loved it. Tried 50" and 43" 4K and they are usable but 40" was better for a single monitor setup. I think 38" 4K monitors are starting to show up now, which should also be good for a single monitor setup. 48" is OK but not very sharp when you are acclimated to 32" 4K. 28" 4K is a low as you should go though. It is usable but not as comfortable to my eyes at native resolution with no scaling.

32" for me is the best monitor size. I tried the 42" oled tv monitor setup and its just wayyy too big. as much as I love the idea of having a giant oled monitor. 32" is peak.

I use this also over 1 Year, except for the burn in, I love it!!

So mixed on a C2 42 with two 24 inch verticals, or the C2 48 (it's cheaper then the 42 by like 60 bucks now) and two 27 inch verticals. My desk will be a depth of 39 inches deep and 72 inches wide. I just don't want the 48 to be overkill for PC based MMO's in my face like final fantasy XIV

Where did you buy your under desk keyboard tray from?

Have you tried multi input pbp support . Can you do a video on the software set up, ease of controlling From multiple Mac/ pc if your monitor supports it

funny enough i went from the LG 49 to the same 48 inch monitor - planning to have it my desk with the HX :)

I think if you run windowed, you could shift it once a hour or half an hour to prevent burn in, hence the benefit of a bigger size

I'm using a 50 inch samsung neo qled. I wanted 43" but 50" was the smallest 120hz panel available. It's a bit too big vertically, and needs a curve for desktop use. If an affordable curved 42" oled comes out, I'll upgrade.

when using a montior this big , i know u can split the windows in each corner...so u basically have four small monitors... is there also a way to use any programm for example a video player in fullscreen in this split view?

I use a 32in 4k LG ips monitor and it is very nice. I upgraded from 28in Benq VA and it looks so much better. It is big but useable and 4k resolution is easy on the eyes. I do not see and have no need to go above 32in 4k, maybe go with a 32in 144Hz 4k in the future and if gpu prices get reasonable, I can spare some money and get a xx70 or xx80 series nVidia or Amd equivalent card.

Man, I've been through 32 asus stirx, I recommend 48 oled lg completely differently.

Ordered this screen and coming from 49" super ultrawide, too. 49"suw is great, but not for non optimized programms, as you said -> I switched from adobe premiere pro to blackmagic davinci resolve some time ago and have problems in timeline with missing hight. I just can see max 4 - 5 Timelines (including audio). This is not practicable and davinci dont let you rearrange the layout. Im playing alot of cs:go... Im excited to see how this works 😄 i like big screens ✌🏽😄 (34" that i owned before the suw was way to small) What screensaver are you using? It looks great 👌🏽 Thanks for your video. Thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽🙂

quick calculation (with a measuring tape).. my 50 inch neo qled screen at 3.5' away has the angular size of a 32" screen at about 2.5' distance.

Im currently using a 49 inch samsung odessey ultrawide monitor my viewing distance is 136cm due to which i find to use the editing apps properly as it crunches down everything because im using the monitor at 175% SCALING and i cant put it on my desk since it creates an obstruction for my speakers which i need to avoid in every case since i make music also for films and tv. So will this monitor be enough with my viewing distance without having to increase the screen scaling? Or should i go more bigger like a 55inch?

Thank you for your opinion. Why didn you mention the name of the monitor? Really confusing.

i just bought this monitor, but i have problem with its. with my switch i don't have any voice coming out the monitor,can't use the soundbar that come with the monitor and playing hogwart legacy i don't have voice when i talking with the npc. do you have the samen problem?

Even with my 32 inch its just a bit big for me. So I'm going to get a LG 35 inch UW from Costco next Friday cant wait. :)

At what distance would you say you are normally sitting without that eye strain

I've looked into these a bit, as I've no interest in TV's, I consume all my content and entertainment on PC or Mobile. Any MiniLED options may be interesting, as much as I love the contrast on OLED, I'd rather wait until MicroLED becomes affordable/mainstream. (Or anything else with the high contrast and no risk of burn in) I've been on 1080p panels for eons, looking to swap to 4k as I feel now that modern rigs can run most games in 4k pretty close or at 144hz, it's about time finally. Just a waiting game anymore, waiting to see what manufacturers come up with each year.

@jamegumb7298

Ай бұрын

Text is a problem on many tv screens. Not because of pixel size or distance or whatever, but because many tv's still are 4:2:0. If this does not mean anything to you, look up chroma subsampling. It is YCbCr, Y is luma and CB and CR are the blue-difference and red-difference. This is different from a pc that just sends full 4:4:4 RGB. Less data sent, less data processed by the image processor in the tv (cheaper component possible). Look at the tv you consider and look if it can process full 4:4:4 RGB input at the desired Hz (some tv will advertise 120Hz, then only in 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 or something with full RGB only at 50/60Hz). You may find other subsampling modes and if you must find a budget option, I'd suggest going no lower than 4:4:2 for text, 4:2:2 otherwise. There are other less used options (4:1:1, 4:2:1 for example) but skip those by default. Or not, but I found out the hard way. There are test images you can find online, this is how I saw my Samsung refused to properly process 4:4:4 and it showed 4:4:2.

Just got mine today. I'm never going back.

I have the same monitor but I sit back like TV space worth. I like it. I have it on a table and I sit back 6-7 feet and have a keyboard on a table

for windows, you dont need any 3rd prty sw, screen splitting comes with it

If you are turning your head you are sitting way too close to the monitor. It is better to wall mount large monitors then you can move back to a adequate distance. Your desk should be 30+ inches deep. I suggest removing the desk shelf so you can move the monitor lower for ergonomics.

Could you please tell me how did you configure 120Hz on Mac? I bought the same monitor and through HDMI I get 60Hz only. Thank you!
