Made for movie buffs, gamers and sports fanatics, LG's most popular OLED in its premium lineup of TVs is even more impressive with brighter colors, a new, more advanced processor and sleek, slim bezel. It makes a great gaming monitor as well—you'll get low input lag and fast response times with Auto Low-Latency Mode and HGiG compliance, with four HDMI 2.1 connections for consoles, PCs, and sound systems. Stream your games with cloud gaming support for GEFORCE Now. Control your TV and connected devices by voice with support for Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, HomeKit, and many more (separate device may be necessary). LG's 4K smart TV includes built-in access to Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, Paramount+, Peacock, YouTube TV, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and more (requires service subscription). *Brighter vs. traditional WRGB OLED panel used in the B and A OLED series and similar sized conventional LG OLED models not including 42-inch, 48-inch C2. **Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. ***Depending on installation environment, there may be a slight gap between the TV and the wall. Installation requirements vary. See installation guide for details.

RTINGS

The best 42-inch TV we've tested is the LG OLED42C2PUA. It's a fantastic TV that delivers stunning picture quality, especially in dark rooms, thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio. Its OLED panel delivers perfect black uniformity, with no distracting blooming or haloing around bright objects in dark scenes. It's fantastic for a variety of uses, including if you want to use the smaller size as a PC monitor, and its wide viewing angle is great for use as a PC monitor, as the sides of the screen remain uniform even if you're sitting close to the screen. You can also easily share your screen with someone else, and they'll see the same thing you do.

It has great accuracy even without calibration, resulting in life-like images without the added expense of having to calibrate. HDR content looks excellent thanks to the near-infinite contrast and its color gamut that displays a wide range of colors. It also has decent HDR peak brightness to make some highlights stand out, but if peak brightness is important to you, the Samsung QN90B QLED is a 43-inch TV that gets even brighter but doesn't produce the same perfect black levels, so the LG is better overall.

If you want something a bit bigger than the Samsung Q60/Q60A QLED, the best 42-Inch TV we've tested is the LG OLED42C2PUA. This TV delivers remarkable performance compared to other small models. It performs best in dark rooms because it has a near-infinite contrast ratio that produces perfect black levels, and there isn't any blooming around bright objects. It means it's remarkable for watching movies, and the 4k resolution allows you to stream your favorite content in crisp detail.

If you want to use it in a wide seating area or place it in the kitchen and walk around while watching TV, the wide viewing angle means that the image remains consistent as you move off to the side. Even in bright rooms, it has incredible reflection handling, meaning visibility won't be an issue in most rooms. It also has good SDR peak brightness, but if you want something even brighter, check out the Samsung QN90B QLED, which has remarkable peak brightness but doesn't deliver the same perfect black levels as the LG.

If you find typical 24, 27, or 32-inch monitors too small, you should look for larger displays. Although you can easily game on a 55-inch TV, you might find that too big for a desk, so monitor manufacturers are starting to release more large-screen monitors in the 40 to 50-inch range. There are LED options with a 43-inch screen like the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U, and there are slightly larger OLEDs at 48 inches. The advantage these sizes bring you is that they maintain the typical 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning you won't get black bars on the side in certain games like with an ultrawide.

There are a few downsides to this screen size, though. They tend to be expensive, and there aren't many models available, but they're growing in popularity. Also, these monitors don't usually have good ergonomics as they come with fixed stands, so it's harder to move the screen around to share with a friend for co-op gaming unless you have the desk space to move the entire monitor.

The best large-screen gaming monitor we've tested is the LG 42 C2 OLED. It's a 42&quot; TV that's very popular for use as a gaming monitor. It delivers an amazing gaming experience, with a near-instant response time that results in no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. It supports variable refresh rate technology and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs, meaning it can take full advantage of the Xbox Series S|X and the PS5. It also delivers fantastic picture quality, with a near-infinite contrast ratio that delivers deep, inky blacks in a dark room with no noticeable blooming around bright objects.

OLED at the top of its game.

From the big game to being in the game, no detail goes unseen. With advanced gaming technology like NVIDIA G-SYNC, you'll crush the competition. Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture—paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. With Google Assistant and Alexa Built in there’s no need for an extra device – just ask your TV for music, weather, news, your Amazon shopping list, and more. Plus, conveniently control your connected home and smart devices. Only on OLED.

The best large monitor that we've tested is the LG OLED48C1. Since there are few monitors of this size on the market, the best option is to go with a TV. It has a massive 48 inch screen that feels incredibly immersive, and it's a fantastic choice for dark rooms because it produces inky blacks. It handles reflections exceptionally well, but it doesn't get very bright, so it might not be ideal for very well-lit rooms. The viewing angles are outstanding, which is great for playing co-op games or sharing content.

It delivers an excellent gaming experience. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and a near-instantaneous response time to show a clear image in fast-moving scenes. FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility are available to minimize screen tearing. It has four HDMI ports with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which means you can also use it for 4k @ 120Hz gaming with consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Input lag is as good as most desktop monitors, so gaming should feel very responsive.

Unfortunately, permanent burn-in can happen with cumulative exposure to static content, like a desktop user interface. Also, the stand doesn't allow for any ergonomic adjustments. HDR content looks amazing. It has outstanding coverage of the DCI P3, good peak brightness, and since it's an OLED TV, there's no blooming around bright objects. Overall, this is an excellent choice if you want to go with a big screen.

The best 4k HDR OLED gaming monitor we've tested is the LG OLED48C1. It's a small TV that's marketed as a monitor, so although it lacks some features typically found on high-end gaming monitors, it delivers unrivaled picture quality and excellent gaming performance. The large, 48 inch screen delivers an incredibly immersive gaming experience, and the OLED panel delivers a nearly infinite contrast ratio, making this an excellent choice for HDR gaming in a dark room.

The OLED panel also has a nearly instantaneous response time, with no noticeable blur trail behind fast-moving objects and no distracting overshoot or smearing. It also supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, meaning you can enjoy the latest Xbox Series X or PS5 games at 4k @ 120Hz. Like most gaming monitors, it also has incredibly low input lag for a responsive gaming experience, and it supports variable refresh rate technology to reduce screen tearing.

Unfortunately, OLED displays like this one also have a risk of permanent burn-in. It can happen with cumulative exposure to static elements, like the UI elements of your favorite game. As long as you mix it up a bit, this won't be an issue. Overall, it's an impressive TV for use as a monitor, and it's one of the best monitors for HDR we've tested.

If you're looking for something bigger for better immersion, then you're better off with the LG 48 C1 OLED. As it's a TV marketed as a monitor, it doesn't have the same great ergonomics as the Dell S2722QC, so it's not easy to place in an ideal viewing position. The 48 inch model should fit on most desks, but you can also wall-mount it with a VESA 300x200 mount if you don't have enough space. Its OLED screen is fantastic for dark room viewing because it can produce inky blacks without any blooming, and it can get very bright to deliver a great HDR experience and make highlights pops. Sadly, there's a risk of permanent burn-in with static content, but we don't expect it to be an issue for people who watch varied content.

If you only want a standard desktop monitor, go with the Dell. If you want a large screen for a more immersive viewing experience, go with the LG.

The LG OLED48C1 is the best 4k HDR gaming monitor that we've tested. It's a small TV marketed as a gaming monitor, so although it lacks a DisplayPort input, it delivers stunning picture quality while offering excellent gaming performance. The near-infinite contrast ratio results in an incredible HDR experience, as blacks are inky and perfectly uniform, and bright highlights stand out in dark scenes with no distracting blooming.

It delivers an incredible HDR gaming experience, with a nearly-instantaneous response time, so fast-paced action looks crisp and clear. It also has an incredible selection of gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports, meaning you can enjoy the latest games at 4k @ 120Hz from multiple sources, including the PS5 and Xbox Series X. It also supports both G-SYNC and FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, resulting in a nearly tear-free gaming experience from almost any source.

Sadly, the one downside to using an OLED as a monitor is the risk of permanent burn-in. It can happen with cumulative exposure to the same static elements, like a taskbar, but it's not an issue if you play varied games. If this isn't a concern for you, it's one best HDR gaming monitors we've tested.

The LG OLED48C1 is the best 4k HDR monitor that we've tested. Although it's technically a TV that's available in larger sizes, we bought and tested the 48 inch model as a monitor as there's a lot of interest in large displays like this as gaming monitors. It offers different features and inputs compared to most monitors, and it delivers exceptional picture quality, especially in dark rooms.

It's better than most monitors for HDR content because it has an OLED panel with a nearly infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity, with no blooming around bright objects. In terms of HDR, it supports Dolby Vision, displays a wide color gamut, and has good HDR peak brightness for a monitor, enough to make some highlights stand out. It has wide viewing angles if you want to share your screen with someone else, and even though it doesn't get extremely bright, it still has fantastic reflection handling.

Sadly, the main downside of using an OLED panel as a monitor is the risk of permanent burn-in that can happen with exposure to static elements, like the operating system's user interface elements. Because of this, we suggest hiding taskbars, setting a screensaver, or simply watching varied content, but even then, the effects of burn-in are cumulative, and it can be an issue for some users. Its stand also doesn't offer any ergonomics since it's a TV. If these don't bother you, it's one of the best HDR monitors.

If you find typical 24, 27, or 32 inch monitors too small, you should look for larger displays. Although you can easily game on a 55 inch TV, you might find that too big for a desk, so monitor manufacturers are starting to release more large-screen monitors in the 40 to 50 inch range. There are LED options with a 43 inch screen like the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U, and there are slightly larger OLEDs at 48 inches. The advantage these sizes bring you is that they maintain the typical 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning you won't get black bars on the side in certain games like with an ultrawide.

Also, these monitors don't usually have good ergonomics as they come with fixed stands, so it's harder to move the screen around to share with a friend for co-op gaming unless you have the desk space to move the entire monitor.

The best large-screen gaming monitor we've tested is the LG 48 C1 OLED. It's a TV that we tested as a monitor because it's marketed as such, and it delivers stunning picture quality thanks to its OLED panel. It can turn off individual pixels, resulting in deep and inky blacks with perfect uniformity and no blooming around bright objects. In terms of gaming features, it's a 4k display with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, allowing you to play 4k games up to 120 fps. It also has low input lag and a quick response time for a responsive gaming experience.

The LG OLED48C1 is the best 4k HDR gaming monitor we've tested. It's an excellent display, and even though it's actually a TV, the 48 inch model is widely used as a monitor, so we tested it as such. It has a few different features than a typical monitor because it doesn't have an ergonomic stand and lacks a DisplayPort input. However, it delivers outstanding picture quality, especially in HDR.

OLEDs are unique because they don't have a backlight, and instead, they have self-lit pixels that turn themselves on and off. This means that the C1 has a near-infinite contrast ratio with perfect black uniformity, so blacks look amazing in the dark. It also displays a wide range of colors in HDR, and it has good peak brightness, so small highlights pop and are vivid, but larger areas of bright colors are dimmer. In terms of gaming, it has a 120Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, meaning you can play 4k games up to 120 fps, and it has low input lag for a responsive feel.

The main downside to using an OLED display as a monitor is the risk of permanent burn-in. It can be a concern with cumulative exposure to the same static elements over time, like the interface's user elements and the taskbar. However, it's not an issue if you tend to watch varied content and play different games, or even if you simply hide the taskbar. If you're not worried about this, then it's one of the best options for HDR gaming.

If you want something to use for HDR gaming from the PS5, then the LG OLED48C1 is the best monitor for your needs. It's actually a small TV that we tested as a monitor because it's popular as such, and it delivers better picture quality than most monitors. It's remarkable for HDR because it has an OLED panel with a near-infinite contrast ratio, meaning it delivers perfect black levels with no blooming around bright objects.

Like the LG 27GP950-B, it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and even if it has a lower 40 Gbps bandwidth, you won't have any issues playing 4k games up to 120 fps on the PS5. It also has VRR support compatible with the PS5 to reduce screen tearing. Another advantage of an OLED TV is the near-instantaneous response time, so motion looks extremely smooth, and gaming feels responsive thanks to the low input lag. It even has a black frame insertion feature that improves the appearance of motion if you get bothered by persistence blur.

Sadly, the main downside to getting an OLED display is that it risks permanent burn-in. It can be problematic if you constantly play the same games with the same static elements, but if you play varied games it won't be a problem. Besides that, it's the best HDR monitor for the PS5.

The LG OLED48C1 is the best monitor that we've tested for playing HDR gaming on the Xbox Series X. It's a unique display because it's a TV that's a popular choice to use as a monitor, so we tested it as one. It has a large 48 inch screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning you get an immersive gaming experience.

It delivers a remarkable HDR performance thanks to its fantastic picture quality, and it's excellent for gaming. Firstly, its OLED panel has a near-infinite contrast ratio for deep blacks, and it has perfect black uniformity. It also displays a wide range of colors in HDR, and it has good HDR peak brightness, enough to make highlights stand out in HDR games. You won't have any issues playing games from the Xbox Series X either, as it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that allows you to play 4k games up to 120 fps.

Sadly, as it's a TV, there are a few limitations. Its stand doesn't offer any ergonomic adjustments, so you'll have to turn the entire screen if you need to adjust it. Also, OLEDs run the risk of permanent burn-in, but that won't be a problem if you play varied games from the Xbox. Besides that, it's the best monitor for HDR gaming on the Xbox.

The 6 Best Monitor Sizes For Gaming - Spring 2022

  The magic wand remote is either a love it or hate it thing. I hate it. The default setting when you bring up the TV's options menu is to use the remote as a gyro mouse. All it takes is one press of the directional button to put the remote back into button mode, but A) the jump into gyro mode is disorienting, and B) try explaining to your 70-year-old parent how to deal with this innovation, and then get back to me

  The 5 stars is for the best picture quality you can get without going into the ridiculously high end home theater market (think Best Buy's Magnolia showroom where a single remote runs about $1,000, and only a professional has the security key to set it up).

O! LED, where have you been all my life?

 There are also sliders labeled Black Stabilizer (for adjusting dark areas) and White Stabilizer (for bright areas), as well as the OLED Motion Pro setting described above (LG says it's particularly useful for games) and the Reduce Blue light setting (said to be easier on the eyes). The C1 supported all advanced video features from my Xbox Series X, as advertised, including 4K/120 and VRR. Since I reviewed the G1 in April, LG has added a new status screen that appears whenever you hit the settings button while in Game Optimizer mode. Clad in aggressive purple, it displays current frame rate, picture mode, status of VRR, low latency (to reduce input lag) and Black Stabilizer

 The biggest difference is the addition of shortcut keys at the bottom: four for streaming services and two more for the built-in voice assistants, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.&nbsp; Both Google and Alexa can do all the usual assistant stuff, including control smart home devices, answer questions and respond via a voice coming out of the TV's speakers (yep, both voices). Basics like "What's the weather?" work as you'd expect, complete with onscreen feedback. The C1 also works with Apple's AirPlay 2 system, just like many other TVs, allowing my iPhone to share photos and video on the screen from the Photos app and mirror my Mac and phone screens

        David Katzmaier/CNETLG revamped the remote a bit. It kept my favorite features, namely the scroll wheel and motion-tracking, while slimming it down slightly.

LG C1 OLED TV review: The best high-end TV for the money

 Unlike Chromecast with Google TV, Nvidia's box promised Alexa control.  I named it "Living Room TV", deleted every trace of LG setup from my Alexa profile, and it works nearly perfectly.  It handles turning the LG C1 on and off over CEC quite seamlessly, even when I ask Alexa via Echo devices. It also supports more specific things like opening apps and rewinding by arbitrary time periods

 Now I had a "default" device, so to speak, that I could switch to before powering the TV off. When I powered the TV on, it would just turn on the Apple TV.  Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of the interface, controls nor the remote. Voice control was incredibly subpar

  As a bonus, Google TV on the Nvidia Shield supports Chromecast, something my parents missed from the old Vizio when they came over.  ----- The Conclusion -----  I wall-mount my TV because of unsightly power sockets high up on my wall. If it was not so difficult to unmount this thing and pack it back into the box, I would have returned it a couple weeks in.  Now that the Nvidia Shield has solved *most* of my issues, the C1 is in a passable, usable state

 many hours over days to get picture modes and settings *just* right on a new TV. - I am extremely particular about user experience in software. Part of my professional work happens to involve some UX design. - I watch a lot of movies

A quarter in, I have 2400+ words of thoughts on the LG C1

 Try before you buy if you can or just go into it for gaming. Update: 4/21/22 More app crashes randomly made me decide to take another star off the review. Every major streaming app has now had random crashes.  Update 6/19/22 Sound is still an issue

 Again, we are faced with the Very slow navigation through the guide, everything has to load and feels slow. It makes my previous lower end samsung look blazing fast!? Also, the LG “tv” function really relies on Pluto. You are presented with a familiar tv guide navigation and can go to a show. Only with LG most of the shows stop after maybe 30 seconds and prompts you to install and use Pluto to continue watching

 The sound bar continues to disconnect randomly. Today a new sound issue came up however. Before the new sound issue No settings were changed, nothing new was plugged into the tv, just zero change to anything. The sound suddenly stopped working on all outputs, zero sound

 The general menus are very slow, frustratingly slow, I have to just type again Slow. Some times while navigating a streaming service app button presses can be 2-5 seconds lagging behind. Settings menus take seconds to load. Yes, we are talking about mere seconds but when it is all the time on a brand new tv that is not from a bargain bin, it gets frustrating

Great gaming display, Horrible general tv experience.[Updated 6-19-22]

  Now, the not-so-good stuff: the WebOS UI is quite slow and clunky. I expect a faster, smoother OS for my 2021 model TV. While yes, this is a significant improvement over the 2020 CX model, it's still slow and laggy. Installing apps is pretty simple and quick, but there's a lot of random bloat on the main home screen

 While yes, this is a significant improvement over the 2020 CX model, it's still slow and laggy. Installing apps is pretty simple and quick, but there's a lot of random bloat on the main home screen. There is a much nicer home "dashboard", but you have to navigate to it manually (hitting the Home button on the remote brings you to the main home screen with all the apps and ads splattered all over the screen). Also, there is no HBO Max app available on this TV (if that's something you care about)

 You can't even use them as numeric inputs, you have to enter login info through an on-screen keyboard in most apps. The remote isn't even that comfortable to hold in your hand, and I'm constantly re-adjusting my grip. Given that this is the primary method of interaction with the TV, I'm surprised that more work wasn't put in to design a better remote.  If you're going to be watching media through an Apple TV / Roku (or directly from your gaming console — which is what I ended up doing), then the issues with the OS and the remote are probably not a big deal for you

 Not the easiest assembly, you definitely want two people to put it together. Setup process was pretty straightforward from there on.  Now, the not-so-good stuff: the WebOS UI is quite slow and clunky. I expect a faster, smoother OS for my 2021 model TV

Great TV & picture quality for gaming, terrible remote & clunky/slow OS

  I've set it to my liking, but it turns out there's built in hardware to help calibrate the display! You do need a $160 calibrator and some software, but it's totally automated by connecting right to the TV over it's IP address.  And another welcome treat is software called ColorControl that's available on GitHub ( I believe it's open source ) that controls the TV so it'll turn off when the screensaver kicks in as well as sync turning it on and off to your PC's power state. It's really helpful when using this as a monitor.  It seems like C1's made later in the manufacturing cycle seem to be all WBE panels

 Overall, it's really the contrast that makes this thing shine so as long as you can control the lighting in the room, you'll be amazed.  Gaming is perfect. I've got a 3080ti hooked up, and it's good for perfect video with G-Sync (*compatible - it does not have a hardware board.

This is it. It's more than just better; It's having your eyeballs cleaned
