I got exactly what I wanted.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stupid good. I got this model & size for watching movies and anime in my room. I suggest looking up the review on rtings to see why this model is good. It has usable and good smart features. You can easily color correct, change temperature, increase the minimum black levels (if things are too dark ex I have it set to 54 instead of 50), change the gamma several different ways, etc. You have advanced control over the TruMotion options. I think the presets are too much. Dejudder set to 2 is perfect and Deblurring set to 4 is perfection. Toss in clarity set to something like 10-20% and even older movies feel alive again. If you're too lazy to go to rtings for indepth reviews, look at the attached picture. See how uniform the colors are? Now keep in mind that's with color temperature set to warm 10 and the brightness turned down to not cause eye strain. That is also the TV auto-upscaling 1080p anime to 4k resolution. OLED is amazing if you want a uniform picture. This model in particular is really good because it's very price competitive and has just enough to be awesome, with very good controls. A few things: 1) If you put the monitor in 'PC' mode (via hub > three dots > click connection > change to PC) you lose control over all of the video features. Which makes sense, but it also makes people suggesting this for PC use a tad confusing in some ways. If you have the budget for it and want a nice & big OLED monitor it would be a good fit. It could be great for gaming too. However, if your main use case is watching media, keep it in the normal mode. 2) Look up how to enable 4K colors. 3) Look up HDTVTest and this model on Youtube. He goes through and explains what each setting does. 4) The sound on this TV is more than adequate. Obviously if you're using any of these models in a big room like a large living you'll likely need (and possibly already have) extra audio equipment. For a smaller space it's more than loud enough. The speakers are way above what cheap TVs come with and you can even kick it up a notch using the Sound AI mode. Although the Sound AI isn't perfect (it's on the fly AI), it does focus on dialogue while also making loud effects more 'roomy'. It's awesome if you don't want to use extra sound stuff. This section should be obvious, but I've seen some reviews complaining about the speakers not being amazing. TV speakers aren't supposed to be amazing. 5) Hitting on point #1 again, OLEDs have burn in. Best Buy's Geeksquad warranty (everyone recommends the five year option) covers this. That being said, using something with burn in for PC use where there are tons of static elements likely isn't the best choice. It's your money though lol. All in all, very glad I bought this. This model, the 42inch, is perfect for my room and the color accuracy is exactly what I wanted.

Love it! Use for PC and regular TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loving it and spoils me in games, looks so beautiful and nice. Glad they made a 42 inch TV made the choice easier from a 48 inch. I use it as my main display for my PC running it with my 6900 xt. I placed it on my desk with stands to keep the center of the screen right above my eye level for ergonomics, I'm 6'3. The pictures don't do it justice, I followed HDTVTEST settings recommendations on UTube. Make sure to turn on VRR to help with stuttering when gaming in PC as seen in my pics. Money for OLED features was a no brainer comparing it to high end monitors. I wanted a true 4K display not ultra wide like alienwares new QD-OLED monitor. I have LGs OLED TVs in my living room and bedroom. Can't go back to regular LED TVs

Best 42 inch tv on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LG makes the absolute best OLED panels in the entire industry - this TV is no exception, it is stunning and has 120hrz refresh rate which makes it ideal for gaming on PS5 - I use it as my gaming monitor and run all my games at 120fps, with the tv also supporting 1ms response time - best possible screen to pair with a ps5, no matter what size you want to play on.

Simply the best tv to date
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot even describe how great this TV is. Nothing compares to OLED, got it on sale for $999 (a steal). Its great for gaming and works great as a monitor. I know burn in is a concern or risk with any OLED panels, but LG has done a very good job adding futures like OLED care in the tv settings to avoid this issue. I also have a C1 and no problems so far, I did add total tech for peace of mind plus its a great service. I honestly believe this is the best TV out there today in its size (42')

Best 4k "gaming" monitor if you take care of it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For 800 dollars, this beats any and all "gaming" monitors. The size is just right for any desk set up so long as you push the tv back all the way or mount it on a Vesa mount. The picture quality is amazing, the colors pop, and the motion processing is pretty good. Sony still beats it in terms of pure movie watching, but it also costs an absurd amount of money and doesn't have a smaller option like the 42 inch LG Oled. I have a 4080 installed on my computer and hooked up to this beast of a tv and it's beautiful. Only get this at the 800 dollar price though. If not, wait for the C3 and pray it has a heatsink :) P.s. get the warranty. This is plasma 10.0 with its same problem for image burn in. Take care of this tv and it will take care of you. But also, get the warranty. Better to be safer than sorry.

OLED for a computer monitor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the TV to replace a computer monitor that I use in an office that is used for gaming/work from home. I personally can't believe what I have been missing out on my entire life. Everything about this monitor is amazing. Colors, contrast, refresh rate, response time. Only thing it is missing is a Display Port. 42" is personally perfect for my set up, I know there are 48" variants out there, but personally I think they are a bit too big. I came from a 34" ultrawide monitor, and this 42" OLED LG TV only took an additional 2-3" horizontally and filled up the space vertically. I am currently using this TV with 2-27" monitors beside it, and I can't believe the contrast ration between them. Previously, I believed the Dell monitors that were on the side were high quality, but this TV puts it them to shame. I personally also like the TV functionality because I can still have access to all basic Smart TV apps that I prefer to use than my PC for streaming content. One thing to note, is that in order for you to take full advantage of the TV, you MUST get an HDMI 2.1 cable. I hoard my HDMI cables, and none of them gave me the full capability of this TV.

LG C2 - The perfect TV?
|Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best TV I have ever owned, hands down. A phenomenal pairing of craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, this is one of the more impressive TVs that currently exists. The blacks are perfect, the detail is sharp and clear, the colors are rich and accurate, and the motion is smooth and fluid. I use this TV for movies, sports, and gaming, and it is an absolute beast at all three. The OLED evo panel gets significantly brighter than something like the C1, and honestly puts OLED into the same category as mini-LED in terms of brightness. It is the perfect little bedroom TV that packs a stupidly good picture into a small and compact package. The only thing that isn't stupendous is the sound quality, but I don't expect theater-quality sound from a TV this small. You might want to pick up a soundbar with this if it is your main TV, but I use headphones most of the time so for me it isn't necessary.

Q: QuestionWill this have all the features the bigger screens have?
Asked by Dsdy555.
- A:Answer TL;DR The 42" (and for that matter the 48") LG C2 will keep all the SOC benefits of the 55" and larger sizes but will NOT be capable of the same brightness and will also have worse speakers/stand. The 42" and potentially also the 48" may have the older generation WBC panels depending on what time of year you purchase (later in the year, LG is supposed to switch to WBE panels for all sizes). This TV, while advertised as Evo and still containing the same SOC (all the HDMI and upscaling and performance features will remain the same), the panel itself--due to its lower pixel aperture--both the 42" and 48" will not be capable of the same brightness as the 55" and larger sets. Besides this, it is also known now that at least some 42" C2 models will still be using the older WBC panels instead of the newer (what most people think of as 'Evo') WBE panels. This may have longevity ramifications down the line, but for now LG is confident that these 42" sets meet their criteria to be called Evo. The speakers and stand designs also differ model to model with the 42" receiving the worst of both (the stand is subjective so you may not feel the same).

Q: QuestionDoes this tv come with any kind of interdimensional technology so that it can fit in a spot designed for a 24" tv in my semi? Thanks in advance.
Asked by LawrenceB.
- A:Answer You need the additional interdimensional processor module that features the proprietary Sarcasm 2.0 software. Failing this, a 4lb BFH can be used to "make it fit."

Q: QuestionWhat is the energy usage and does this create a great deal of heat?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I have this 42 oled on my yacht! So I can't answer about the energy usage, but I can tell you that it doesn't get hot or even warm. The picture is typical oled, close to perfect! I traded out a very good 43 Sony for this tv and there is no comparison in picture quality. The oled is far superior in every way.

Q: QuestionAre all of the 42" C2's still WBC panels? My model is OLED42C2PUA.DUSQLJR.
Asked by StopTheInsanity.
- A:Answer Hello, In the service menu of the C2 42-inch, find "Module Info 2" and the panel type will be one of the following: WBC (old panel) = 00/00/1/03 WBE (new panel) = 08/00/1/03 ^Vanessa

Answered by ArgenisT
Q: QuestionDoes this TV need to be hooked up to a cable connection in the wall? Or is an electrical outlet and wifi all that's needed to operate this TV?
Asked by Florence.
- A:Answer Well, it comes with its own electrical cord. So, if you're asking do you need a cable service to you it, the answer is no. If you are asking if you connect it to an over the air antenna to get local TV stations, the answer is yes. A hard line connection (ethernet) or WiFi, are completely optional. If you want to use streaming services (Netflix etc) you need to connect it to either a hard line connection (ethernet cord) or use the WiFi connection to give it internet capability & also to update the TV and apps as updates are released. I hope this helps you with your questions & further your understanding.
