LG 42-inch OLED

All new models should be the WBE panel not that it makes any meaningful difference on the 42” and 48” C2 models which do not feature the brightness booster anyway. In fact the WBC could arguably be considered better in some areas as the WBE panel has a pinker tint from off angles. But really it makes no difference, people shouldn’t worry about it :)

Except for people using it as a monitor, thinking about burn in..it may actually be a meaningful difference ;)
 
Not sure if this has been posted but a new HDR calibration app is out for Windows and actually works surprisingly well , made a noticeable difference on my 77 CX after running it :D

This. I was hoping I would get a WBC panel tbh. Its the better panel in the 42" size.

Ah, it's windows 11 only
 
Enjoying the size so far, quite a lot of text fringing when doing work from home stuff, but can live with it. With games and movies it's incredible, except 1080p content now looks a bit crap :p

Pretty sure Vincent hdtvtest did an video and the WBC retention image still cleared up pretty fast compared to the WBE panel, like 2-3 secs behind.

WBE panels do have other benefits apart from better burn in resistance, they use a fewer less watts in electricity and also the pixel refresher runs faster so completes quicker over WBC, but they can enjoy pink tint while they do the that.

Yeah not much you can do with low 1080p content, the VA and IPS TVs and monitors really hide the flaws well in older HD content. But I reckon the 1080p higher quality stuff and 4K excels on all OLEDs much better.

I was watching Orville on the C2 yesterday and it looked 4K HDR, but it was just an 1080p non HDR source.

Also your OLED picture quality will adjust, id say 100-150 hours it should mellow out but even 200-300 hours things get better.

Yeah most youtube looks a bit **** now haha

I need to watch more 4K and HDR stuff
 
I was watching cabinet of curiosities on netflix in a web browser. The first episode scene where the guy is being chased in the building it was supposedly quite dark, I could see some of the shadows seemed blocky and it seemed a bit bright. Switched from chrome to edge as I heard you need edge to view 4k, ran the test pattern on netflix and had the same issue of 1080p and probably not being HDR. Grabbed the ms windows netflix store app and black finally looked right, not washed out and darker but it was still 1080p. Guess my pc is too old...

Anyway, here's a bunch of wallpapers, I modified the contrast on some of them, cropped some etc. Good if you just want something to quickly cycle through on your desktop https://imgur.com/gallery/hClQPLa
