2 days old and only complaining, I don't buy any of it. And besides, I would probably put the OLED light at 25.
LG 42-inch OLED
- Thread starter SilverRST
- Start date
So LG is finally bringing back the dark grey or black color, eh. The white version looks hideous as heck! It sucks the 42' doesn't have the stand like the 48".
And regarding Sony 42" OLED, I really would like the 42A90K but I won't due their idiotic choices and too late the party like firmware updates and features. And price won't be cheap anyway.

Wow it's awesome. One could belive it's way smaler actually. Damn a 42 will be perfect on my desk. How long I have waited for it
I wonder as it does not benefit from the extra 20% brightness does that mean the evo panels benefit is used for pixel’s lasting longer and be more resistant to burn in vs last years models? I mean as I recall Vincent some months ago speculated that this would be the case on these and it makes sense as more gamers would be buying them.
Very good point. I totally forgot about that as I indeed thought about it too the evo "monitors" would last longer. So does the 42" actually has evo or not? LG website says yes but other non-LG websites says no. Maybe it's because it's a smaller screen. Bigger screen gets bright much more than smaller screens like happens to LCD too. And energy consumption of th 42" is less than 48". Evo panels makes much more sense in buying them indeed.
There is a large EVO logo on a packaging, so I am pretty sure its evo panel, Vincent confirmed based on pixel structure too:

''Evo'' is a bit misleading.
The 42/48 does have the updated evo panel but it will not hit the peak brightness of the 55 or above as its restricted and I think also doesn't have the same cooling.
Cooling is restricted to G2, hopefully will make its way into C3 next year.
Sony A90k 42 will have the cooling btw.
Hmm might look at the Sony, no release date or official pricing yet! I think I saw somewhere it was going to be 1399.
Yeah I would expect it to be quite a bit pricier than c2 - also because a90 was usually more in line with LG G series pricing - and few months late to the party.
You can also have a look at Asus PG42uq - also w radiator, but matte screen, so a bit different
Plenty of choices this year.
Is this confirmed that Sony 42" will have heatsink though?
Since its hit and miss information, Value electronics was told by a sony rep it will have a heatsink but rest of net appear to claim it wont have a heatsink. Even hdtvs sony chart says no heatsink for 42 and 48" just the Evo panel. Appears Sony felt its not required due to Evo technology.
If the Sony had a heatsink id be tempted to wait on it but I doubt it will have it.
So what does the heatsink mean? For people who have their OLED light at 50 or above up to 100 or is it only for peak brightness? And what if I have it at 25?
The Sony 42A90K would look beautiful on my big walnut desk.

I saw that techradar report and think it should taken with a pinch of salt, even 'all things tech' video I posted he mentioned the first thing he noticed was just how much brighter the new LG C2 48 inch Evo panel is compared to his C1, he has already said this will be the main thing he will test when comparing the
C1 vs C2 but his video is 1 week away.
Naturally Vincent will be doing the exact same test.
One thing he did mention is the new C2 was much lighter then his C1, this is due to the better materials used probably in the Evo panel. Evo panel I guess won't get as hot or require an heatsink so should in theory have less burn in risk.

Have a look at Panasonic 2000 series reviews. Its much brighter compared to even LG G1 because it has a heatsink - hence can drive more current through the pixels.
Id imagine for all cases, peak HDR spots and general usage with OLED light. Vincent showed a good video with an OLED with a heatsink and one without and it cleaned up the after image almost instantly but the one without the heatsink a ghosted image was left behind for a bit.
I'm torn. Getting the 48" C1 from 2021 or wait and see how bad the prices are for the 42" c2. We are so close to release of the C2 that it would make sense waiting to see the prices and perhaps even enjoy a reduction on the c1's but my eyes are bleeding on this 75hz IPS i'm currently running.
Id wait on 2 things, proper hands on review between the C1 and C2 and if the C2 is brighter and better which we should find out end of next week really.
Then see if C1 prices drop further, someone on hotuk deals said the 48" C1 was as low as £700 with a promo discount at one time, must be the lowest I think I heard off, otherwise £800-1K is often at times. You could set up a alert on hotuk deals to auto track the prices and deal offers also.
Can confirm. I own both the G1 and the JZ1500 (same TV as JZ2000 but without the built in soundbar).
