Q: Will this have all the features the bigger screens have?
A: 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).
A: 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: will this TV provide audio to headphones wirelessly?
A: Hello, yes it will.^Venette
Q: What is the energy usage and does this create a great deal of heat?
A: 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: Are all of the 42" C2's still WBC panels? My model is OLED42C2PUA.DUSQLJR.
A: 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
Q: This TV supports PIP Function?
A: Hi, there. The LG C2 42 has a new Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture mode that allows you to view images from two sources at once.^Vanessa
Q: Does it come with a stand? I mean does it stand by itself?
A: It has two leg stands which stick out about 5inches out in the front and 3 inches in the back
A: 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.
