I've had my eye on the LG C4 42" for a while, and this price looks quite decent right now. I'm considering using it as a monitor, so I'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback.
Thanks! I'm trying to price match with JB and see how far it can go too :)
They were able to price match via chat and bring it down to $1,348.00. Good for local pickup
If you're using one of these as a monitor - as I am - then this will be your new best friend: https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion
You never have to touch the remote once it's set up, it turns the TV on and off with your PC (Windows in my case).
Legend, thanks for sharing this.
You sir, are a legend.. thank you.. I've been using a broadlink IR controller to turn on the TV but this is a way better solution.. thank youj..
Not a sir, but do appreciate the thanks. ;D
Oh neat! been looking at this TV and that app has some sweet features! :D def going down this road!
Thank you for this!!
Wasn't this around $1000 in December 2024?
Indeed, these were targeted at 50% price cuts. The MSRP seems to have dropped from $2200 to $1700 recently (as its going EoL for C5).
As such $1400 really isn't much of a cut, and personally I will hold off for a real price cut to under $1000.
I have been using c2 42 as a monitor for just over 2 years with 4254hrs running time (just checked!) No burn in at all. It's the best monitor I've ever owned
I've got a 48" C1 and done 10,500 hours… and no burn it.. before that I had a C7 with about the same and it had massive burn in.. LG replaced the panel after 3.5 years..
how do you get the data of hours used?
Under support - TV information
Did you go through their support? I've got a CX just over 11k hours 4 years and they are refusing to replace the panel :(
I created a ticket, sent them a photo of the burn in and they came around and replaced the panel on my floor. Maybe 30 mins of work. That said, I'd say that they'd changed their policy since then and at 4 years, you're probably over a threshold of them not caring….
what monitor did you come from? big adjustment from a 34 inch curved?
Not OP but came from G7 32" + 34" Ultrawide. You'll find the adjustment perfectly fine. I use fancyzones from powertoys to section the monitor into 3 areas for multitasking similar to the ultrawide.
Came from a LG 34 curve and then Asus 43 inch and then c2, it was a big adjustment from 34 to 43 mainly due to the size. Between oled and asus led it's a day and night change in the pic quality.
C2 42" user here, over 5000 hours on mine and no burn in. Best monitor I've ever used.
Only HDMI by the looks ?
I use Linux (LMDE) and see there's some kerfuffle around HDMI and AMD not being able to release drivers for it (albeit I haven't looked into it much) with Linux, anyone in the know, will this still work ?
Won't this have very bad picture quality being only 4K resolution and 43 inches? For TV it would be ok but as a monitor everything will look pixelated especially text?
Viewable screen of the OLED42C4 TV with a pixel density of 106 PPI (pixels per inch), which is comparable to that of 27″ 2560×1440 displays (108 PPI). So not too bad. 48" is when it's pixelated.
Depends how close you sit
I’ve had a 48” C1 since 2021 and don’t have any ghosting or burn in at all. Just dead pixels.
I do have a screen saver come on and I auto-hide the taskbar. Still love it and the only reason I’d ever change is if they had one one with DisplayPort. I use it with a gaming PC, MacBook Pro, Dell Laptop, PS5, Switch, Apple TV, Google Chromecast 4K.
Would this be worth upgrading from a Gigabyte Aorus FV43U? 42.5 inch 4K VA 144Hz HDR1000. The FV43U has USB hub and KVM, though I don't use the KVM at all, and I could easily use a different hub. And the FV43U has DisplayPort, but that should be OK in my situation, I have 1 HDMI output on my GPU.
Anyone know what the C5 is bringing in feature upgrades? Higher refresh rate for gaming?
