You getting one Th0nt or still looking to get the 42” C2?

Just seen that Currys have the 42" C2 for pre-order for £1299 instead of £1399. Doesn't have the free LG Tone though.

If you intend to use as a monitor, JL is a better choice with their additional warranty.

Thanks, I always knew Mr Lewis was overpricing it !

While I agree the burn in cover is gold, its not so great @ £140. This is important however since it opens up the possibilities for RS or JL or other companies to price match or drop by £99 to compete with Currys.

JL Free buds offer does not work I noticed the other day, guess they ran out of stock again, had the exact same issue last time oddly enough but those buds only get 25 quid of ebay anyhow.

I had a feeling it wasn't going to hit 1K which we all know it should be really, don't hang around for prices to drop imo with current world situation.

If you can First direct and nationwide do 2 excellent deals atm and they paid up £250 within 3 weeks to me. There are many more offers here:

All depends on if my voucher code works. If not then no, I ain’t paying full price for it.

Fair enough, even how cheap it may be. It still is a lot of cash!
Well good luck buddy

Does anyone know the physical dimensions of the 42" and 48"?

srekal34 · 11 Mar 2022 at 14:59

I am torn now between 42c2 and aw3423dw.
LG will be more universal(consoles), but I worry a bit about the flicker. People using gsync in c1, do you notice any flicker in near black shades?

Me too .

Can use the 42 for ps5, but 42 is 4k so will be harder to run for pc gaming.

True, you can always run it in UW 3840x1600.
However, I feel qd oled will be a bit better in everything else, including the fact it has gsync module so any near black flickering is out of the question

Yeah tough one. I think I'm swaying more towards the alienware.

Whats this talk of flickering on the 42 inch?

See for reference:

Its actually affecting all VRR screens without physical gsync module(panel cannot change gamma on the fly), on oled its just more evident because lcd cannot display such deep greys anyway.
They added an option in the firmware to mitigate that but it cannot be eradiacted completely.

Crazy thing is that the AW seems to flicker - even with the g-sync module!
Never thought that crap would be possible with the module!

"Flicker is there on the AW3423DW"

Probably just the gamma profile needs calibrating. My acer x35 and it's sibling asus pg35vq were flickering like crazy before firmware update. Fortunately with module, you can correct it because hardware functionality is there.

Alright good to know about, and for the people getting it!
Thanks buddy

Definitely getting this if the reviews are good.

Expensive, but then everything is now and this is going to be a hell of a screen.
