Thanks soz yes it would be for the xbox series x , 4k is supported on the xbox x but I will not compromise in any slow down in Fallout etc. Can this monitor do 120hs in 4k?

The C2 42” OLED can run 4K @ 120hz with a HDMI 2.1 cable. For Xbox Series X you need to get a cable with a bandwidth of 48gbps to maximise it. Not all TVs come with amazing cables so you might have to buy one.

The series X console comes with a HDMI 2.1 cable that is capable of doing 4k 120hz.

Played some BF1 just now and it looks fantastic, crystal clear, best upgrade i've made in a long time.

I can spot the enemies so much clearer that before, it's great and the 3080 is performing excellently.

It's great haha love mine but I knew I would quality wise, having been an early OLED adopter. I was only concerned about the screen size but luckily it's perfect!

Even Escape From Tarkov runs well in 4K on it, a true PC killer.

Yes, most people are very happy with it, I've ordered a decent desk from etsy to go with it, can't have this beautiful monitor sat on my old manky IKEA one.

It's only 120mm x 60mm so it can fit in a specific place so I'm considering mounting the meshilicious under the table with one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07JHHDZL3/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1HOQ5GGH5SYPX&psc=1

It has no cable management or storage but looks solid enough and i've got a cable management tray that i'll attach on the back, i went with the dark oak.

I am a bit worried of those legs.

khemist · 6 Jul 2022 at 14:25

Why is that?, there are plenty of positive reviews, not seen any mention weak legs and there are others similar with much thicker legs.

Jaycensolo · 6 Jul 2022 at 14:30

While the wood looks thick that usually means heavy. So to have monitors on it , keyboard , mouse and other bits. And you said you then want to hang your PC from under it. I think that will be too much weight for it.

Personally I would get something like this to put your PC on and have it under the desk.

I would just put it on the floor at that point, i'd like it tucked up under the desk, i'm not bothered about the legs.

Jaycensolo · 6 Jul 2022 at 14:46

If you put it on the floor you block the vents. By having it off the floor slightly you still keep good airflow.

I've got feet on mine.

Never thought to look on there, some nice stuff thanks man!

My Alienware has just sold so it's either a 42C2 or an FO48U

Did you get the order in before yesterday with the 10%?

Looking around I think Costco @ £1050 still one of the cheapest ones about, but you need the 15 quid a year membership.

I reckon we get special offers again since the Sony 42 and 48" will be well in stock soon, which is the main competition for the C2.

Nah, thought at the time I'd give it a couple of months for some more drops. May have sorted an FO48U for a bargainous price though, hopefully it comes off

Costco online is now £980.

Radox-0 · 7 Jul 2022 at 15:55

I am impressed, this year in general seen pretty big discounts across the range of models in various sizes at times with vouchers / offers.

R3X · 7 Jul 2022 at 17:52

Crazy pricing of late, the rest seem to be 1.1k+ but that costco price is perhaps the best going.

This thing should have always been sub 999!
