  • Good deal but not the cheapest. It's been cheaper just 4-5 days ago.

  • Which one is better for computer use. Text editing, coding etc

      You realise how far you need to sit from a 55" monitor? Go with the 42"

      I don't think OLEDs make for a great computer monitor. Too much grain in the picture. You don't notice it on small high resolution phone screens, but can notice it on laptop screens that are OLED, a TV would terrible.

      • +2

        That could be the touchscreen layer causing the grainy image

        • It's in the display, the same model with an LCD doesn't have it.

          Here's a discussion on Reddit about it. Some people notice it, others don't. I'd be plugging a laptop in at the store to check before buying one.

          • @JIMB0: I can only see it when I'm 20cm away from the screen. I think it'll be unnoticeable for most people.

    • +3

      If that's your primary use you sure as hell shouldn't be looking at OLED

        Why not? Burn in isn't relevant anymore as LG replace all panels for free anyway

        • +1

          Last time I checked, they said burn-in was not covered

        • +1

          So deliberately screw it up, than hope they keep their word?

          Or just get something more suitable that is also more appropriate for text viewing.

        • +2

          Maybe because text clarity is the weak point of these OLED TV's, oh and panel uniformity apparently.

            @reactor-au: Yep. I’ve just kicked off a return of an Alienware 34 oled (going back to a lg 38) due to it being a bit crap (for me anyway) for productivity .
            Would’ve been tempted by the 42 given it’s actually cheaper now but I just don’t think oleds are that suited for my mixed use

        • How is Sony in that regard, ref the 55" OLED deal?

    • QD-OLED is better for text editing and coding. Hardware unbox did a monitor reviews on the difference. Say that Windows 11 is not suitable with texts/productivity work

      • +1

        Triangle RGB is definitely better than WRGB for text despite the absolute scene the LG fanboys made when they found out about QD-OLED.

        If text clarity is such a huge issue to someone that they're willing to take a gigantic hit to picture quality for a marginal improvement to text rendering they should just get a 4K LCD.

  • Hmm, very tempting. Thinking about trying on for my PC monitor… might get a TV stand so i can pull my desk away from the wall a little bit and have it further back?

    What are peoples thoughts on these for pc gaming? More so meaning the size of it, I have 65" C8 (yes its old LOL) so i know how good OLED is in general aha.
