Picked up an anker certified cable from the usual place and not had any dropouts or flickering on 4K120 10bit

The new firmware update is now on the LG UK site guys

Nice! Still no auto update here yet though. Anyone know the highlights of fixes since 03.11.30?

OcUK could be facing an interesting dilemma in terms of monitor sales volumes if OLED TVs carry on their upward trajectory of PC monitor market share.

People buy TVs from John Lewis and Richer Sounds, and OcUK don't sell TVs. The erosion of differentiation between TVs and gaming monitors won't be a good thing for OcUK.

If using an nvidia GPU on the CX48, are people enabling freesync premium as well or is that strictly for AMD GPU's? Also I've got the TV in PC mode to get 4:4:4 but can only get 10bit limited range in nvidia control panel, is that correct? If so should black level be low or auto for limited? I'm thinking low for limited range?

You should set it to full range, leave the TV black level on auto. You can also use limited range and similarly set the TV to auto, but full range is preferred for PC.

Think its just the slight brightness loss issue its now gone back to normal brightness levels, nothing major.

Good point really, LG electronics has said they will be releasing a 42" and 30" OLED gaming panel this year, am guessing its going to attempt to sit in the Gamer market and have a crazy high price tag also though, no one else has announced one yet.

I think those 2 sizes are pretty good and what everyone initially thought and said why 48"? its too big, 42" and 30" covers most.

Im using RGB Full 10bit @ 4K 120 and TV appears to use the black level high when set to auto. No freesync premium, using the standard VRR - working well

JeffLoq · 16 Jan 2021 at 17:58

nice 42" would be perfect, im already ok with 48" but the 42" same distance would have a better image shaper due to the higher PPI

So is RGB 10 bit @ full preferred to 4:4:4 10 bit limited in Nvidia Control Panel?

I see Currys are doing £200 off again. I tried to get a John Lewis price match and the reply I received back was "We cannot price match. It's a different model"

Currys - LG OLED48CX6LB
JL - LG OLED48CX5LC

Seems JL are using that as a get out clause to price match..it's the same TV!

Unless I'm doing something stupidly wrong?!

try the offer at pcrdirect.co.uk with code 20WINTER200 they might price match as it's the exact same model

I'm super tempted now the offer is back on, especially as my local store has stock! Damn.

DO IT. Really happy with mine, just sold my G7 32" today, so all in the upgrade to the CX cost me about £750.

JediFragger · 16 Jan 2021 at 20:26

Guys, anyone here using the 48" with a 6800/6900XT? I know it had some issues not too long ago, hoping they've been at least mostly resolved of late. Thanks.

Thanks man, just after someone who's used an AMD card with it lately. I'm *so* close lol

The colours on the G7 impressed me tbh, how is the OLED?

Amazing, massive upgrade especially the inky blacks. I also have a C9 and CX 55" in the house, son has the C9 and I have the 55 CX downstairs. Shows how much I rate the LG OLEDs.

Ok thanks, I'm doing it! I have a 55 B7 and it's pretty awesome even now :cool:
