LG 42-inch OLED

€1499 would be indeed too much so I'll probably wait too. It sucks this has to be from a business point. Just like the 27" and 32" JOLED monitors costing €2799 and €3499.
And 22" JOLED? €5000 lol.
 
Well dumb me that dident try this!
So now I will never touch the Alienware. I will go for the C2. Need that space, there simply is no way around it!

Update: Totaly changed my mind - for what it's worth!
Tried some gaming tonight on my PG279Q - same vert space (fov) as this UW, as we know!
I hated the bloody supersmal fov. No way I can live with that, no matter how good it May be!

So I will Definetly go for the C2 42 incher, and be immersed!
Same here, man. I still like to play a lot of old games and they simply don't support UW. Or I must use mods to make it work but that doesn't always with a success.

C2 it is. Sony makes idiotic choices with stupid logics so not a chance despites the design is really nice.
 
Also no good for console players due to it being UW so not an option for those of us that threw in the towel on PC gaming over the last couple of years
Also no good for those who still likes to play old gamers or certain games that doesn't support UW.
And I also don't like UW anyway, wether be it for games or office use, I just don't like it and a big time PC user here.
 
I doubt Vincent wants to shatter his reputation. If anything the images/displays looks damn "good", it's the stores/manufacturers bumping the Brightness or Contrast to 100 and use some colorblinding preset to make customers fall in their traps. If I go to mode 'Vivid' on my OLED, it looks like some LSD crap.
 
So LG has announced the UltraGear 48GQ900 which is a 48" with matte screen and displayport. Why no 42" version is beyond me.
What are your take? Matte or glossy? Glossy does have more vibrant colors.
 
Yeah its a bit silly but then TV and monitor manufactures don't really know what they are doing or what the gamer or customer really wants
(28"-42" OLED monitors and TVs),

I think glossy is decent, you get a real sharpness and detail which you won't get with complete matt coating however some are doing semi matt so bit of both I think and apparently its still looking decent.
You're right. I had a laptop with glossy screen and the colors looked really vivid. You don't get that with a matte screen.
Another plus about having the tv is whenever my sisters and niece wants to watch on my other 55" OLED tv, or we have family, I can just watch Netflix on my desk if I don't use my PC.
I guess I don't have any reason to wait for the 42" OLEd with matte screen.
 
Its a tricky time to get the 42" OLED really, the QD-OLED appears to be delivering what its set out to do and that is fix the normal OLED issues.

Only issue is manufacturers are just so slow and don't know what consumers actually want, they might take years before we get an 42" QD-OLED.
Why is it a tricky time? It's unlikely there will be 42" QD-OLED this year and we don't even if there even will be a 48". It's an endless waiting thing and considering all the crap going on around this globe, I'm not gonna wait another more years.

Samsung doesn't want our money so they can **** off. 34" ultrawide is a big no to me. I don't understand why they refuse 32" 16:9 QD-OLED but it's their choice.
 
I wonder how much it does translate it to euro but for now it's a waiting thing. I won't be surprised if €1399.
Anyway, I'll want to get it this year. Next year is out of question.
 
The official prices have been leaked but should be out in next few weeks formally to confirm hopefully. A across the board increase in general: That said something obvs going on with 42" and 48" so far at John lewis. I suppose the price increase vs last year for some SKU's takes into account higher across the board living increase costs / material etc sadly LG OLED TV prices have been revealed for Europe - brace yourselves | What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)

C2
• 42-inch €1650 (N/A)
• 48-inch €1800 (€1650)
• 55-inch €2300 (€2000)
• 65-inch €3200 (€2800)
• 77-inch €5400 (€5300)
• 83-inch €7500 (€8000)
You gotta be ****** kidding! I guess I gotta postpone the display upgrade.
 
I wish we had that here in the Netherlands... The other crap are the cost additions like the insurance for 3 and 5 years. If above 1K or 1200, price for the insurance will increase too.
It sure puts me off for sure lol. If 42" is already €1650/£1399, then I can't see the 42" QD-OLED to be priced the same or cheaper. Anyway, I guess I'll wait till October or something.
 
Well guys you Should probably settle for the 32 -G8 then!
No microled in years but this May be good enough!
4K - 32 inch and 240hz. Damn this sounds good. But I dont know about the crazy curvature - 1000R. And I never used a curved monitor before!
So this sounds scary as fuXX!
Nah, curved monitors tends to have blobs of backlight bleeds. Although I would like the BenQ EX2710R or other VA monitor that has great contrast ratio and would only buy it from a store with good return policiy.
Scamsung their G series are plagued with horrible QC and it's basically gambling. For now I'll just keep an eye on the price drops of the 42C2.
 
Yeah I get that and I know all about the hell the G7 owners went thru. Crazy how Samsung could release such a broken product. But also not that supprised. All Samsung Tv's I tested before going OLED - CX. They all had issues as hell. So yeah, better stay clear of them!

C2 42 at BF, should be the best to do :)
Will sit tight and game on my CX until then. Think I never can go back to POS LCD ever again..LOL!
That's why the name 'Scamsung'. I can't believe Scamsung can get away with this bs. So many broken G7 series and I don't wanna know about the G5 and G8 series.
How is it possible there is no class-action suit about this?? I won't be surprised if Scamsung will be in crapstorm again if QD-OLED got QC issues too. But waiting for 42" QD-OLED? Not gonna happen.
42" OLED it is for now. I would like Sony 42" OLED but 1st: overpriced/too expensive and 2nd: crappy firmware updates and way too late with features. 42C2 for now.

LCD....lol It stands for Lowkey Crap Display.
 
Well spoken buddy, really nailed it all!
Yeah one look at AVSFORUM for an e.x on Samsung Tv threads - all are plaqued with Extreme issues. Totaly agree - how can these Scamsung get away with it. Really baffles ones mind!

Oh exactly I get it -not worth waiting for the Sony QD eaiter. As you say; overpriced and allways late to the party with features. Just now these Sony Clowns added VRR. What a joke!
The irony: Sony dont care about gamers!

Lowkeycrap Display - LOL YEAH
Yeah, from what I've read, the VA from Scamsung has great contrast and I really value that. I want the nights and dark scenes in movies and games to be dark as intended and not like grey as with IPS.
But I'm not gonna play gamble on that, not worth the effort and time to keep trying and returning. Someone at LTT contacted me about the endless rebuy/return, he even added the costs on dead pixel free insurance and so on.

Another issue I got with Sony is the lack of native support for 1440p. And Sony their response? "Not popular enough but we'll add that if popular enough" Lol seriously?? It's been a while but if my memory still serves me right, it was about PS5 resolutions supports and performance. We can add that resolution in our GPU drivers tho but still a stupid choice from them. LG on the other hand has native support for 1440p and according to rtings, LG got the highest score on the 'image retention'. LG for gaming and also movies/series too because Expert presets to enhance the colors and all.

LCD must die, seriously lol

And the Scamsung thing, I'm a bit afraid I'll say that without thinking when I'm looking around in physical store asking which phone and people will hear me lmfao.
 
Yea. Only stuff from them I buy is their mobiles which I think they do take seriously and do well in. Not that I buy brand new anymore. These days I get a mates hand me downs after a year or two :cry:

I purchased a Samsung cooker many years ago and not only did it keep breaking, their customer care was a bit crap. Essentially even though it kept breaking over and over again they were just waiting for the two year warranty to run out so they could wipe their hands clean. I complained to Curry’s and got them to give me a full refund and take their junk back. Purchased a Beko one instead and not had a single issue in years. Even a microwave a family member has which is Samsung has issues. They are serious killing their brand image. I certainly do not see them as a premium brand like they used to be and for the most part avoid their stuff outside of areas they excel in.

I may even consider paying the extra for two years warranty extension with Dell if I manage to get this monitor if the cost is not eye watering. At least I will have 5 years of piece then :)
Wow, I actually had no idea Scamsung has crappy service and QC on other departments than display! I thought only on monitors and tv's. I thought it was me but indeed, they used to be a premrium brand and now they've gone to crap. They also nerved the performance on a lot of apps on their S21 or S22, I don't which one but the benchmarking apps are not nerved... Not surprised but had no idea they can go THAT LOW!

If all those **** moves keeps going on, then I don't see any good things about their QD-OLED.
 
I already have a 55" OLED tv to watch movies, series and news on it and it's way too big. 42" is the sweet spot for immersion.
Also not surprised, everything in this ****** globe has been increased in price.
 
This world has gone to madness. Greed has no limit so food will cost more because of course, you need that. Medicines? Much more expensive than a few Lamborghini's.
Remember when high-end smartphones did cost about 500? Well, it's triple of that. Of course you can get "high end" phone for cheap but it will have a ******** of features downgraded/nerved.

And who said 42" would be cheaper than 48"?? I'll wait for the 42" to be more affordable. I cba to pay €1650 excluding insurance charges. **** that ****!
 
Is it a terrible idea to snag the C1 48" instead of waiting for C2 42" and then price to go down? :)
It depends on your preferences/possibilities. For me, 48" is the max so 42" is probably the sweet spot. And 42" also have higher ppi and OLED already looks sharp unlike LCD.
The prices on the other hand are absurd but so is for all other things.
