LG 48CX OLED - 4K 120 Hz

R3X said:
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.

They did? I know LG Display said 42" panels were entering production, and there was talk of 30" pro monitor, which is rumoured to be only 60Hz.

Any source for the 30" gaming OLED display?

e:
LG’s 2021 UltraFine display will use an OLED panel (developed by JOLED) and be dubbed as ‘LG 32EP950.’
The 31.5″ panel features 4K UHD resolution, 60Hz, and a wide 99% DCI-P3 + 99% Adobe RGB color gamut. It will also support HDR and have VESA’s DisplayHDR 400 True Black certification.

So the one concrete announcement is a 60hz monitor.

LG Display is planning to apply its advanced next-generation OLED technology to high-end TV models that will be launched this year and gradually expand its adoption. In addition, the company is set to strengthen its lineup by producing 83-inch and 42-inch OLED TV displays starting this year, adding to the existing 88-inch, 77-inch, 65-inch, 55-inch, and 48-inch OLED TV displays. It also plans to significantly expand its mid-range TV display lineup down to the 20-30-inch range, enhancing not only TV, but also gaming, mobility, and personal display options.

Hmm not sure that last part refers to 2021 tho. I wouldn't bet on it.

As long as you have tv at high/nvidia panel full or tv low/Nvidia panel limited that is most important thing. To match high with full and low with limited. I have LG C9 with RGB 444 full/High in PC mode. Auto in PC mode on my tv is actually high.

nothing too concrete, it was mentioned on fomos recent youtube video of CES break down

it could very well just be the 30" oled monitor really, no ones got 100% info sadly due to no firm announced products.

Can anyone recommend a good HDMI cable to go with this? I think I saw it mentioned that it doesn't come with one? Thanks.

Depends what you are using for, general devices like cable/sky stb, nvidia shield any certified premium cable going it should have the authentic hologram sticker on the box (check the pics of box) to confirm its genuine and it will hopefully better hit the specs.

Some like this one here :
HDMM2MLP
ean (0065030872294)

from rainforest

If you are gaming and have Nvidia 3x gpus, latest ps5 and xbox and want all the 120hertz and 10bit goodness you want certified high speed premium cable like:

Belkin-AV10175bt2M

picture of what the logo looks like here :

https://www.hdmi.org/spec/hdmi2_1

Few others on rainforest but I like the startech 2m gripping hdmi premium certified ones myself, they have the logo on the box and are on special offer right now. Belkin 2.1 cables are good and apparently working well on cx and latest 2.1 hardware also. Good to get from rainforest since if it dont work free returns.

3.21.16 auto updated on my CX48.

Got to say, LG support is second to none. I've had regular firmware updates, fixing various issues that crop up, since owning it in June.

There are a bunch of OLED haters/jealous folk that like to try and rain down on the OLED parade, claiming bugs can't/won't be fixed, that these will burn in within weeks with desktop use etc. Very happy most of them are on my ignore list and can continue to spout nonsense amongst others in their nest.

If you're on the fence about going OLED - go for it. There's plenty of people in this thead who've owned a CX since May/June and have no burn in, just months of (heavy!) use during these crazy lockdown times, on the best overall display technology currently available.

IPS, VA and TN belong in the bin compared to these displays! (for gaming/media ;) )
 
Another perk of this display/tvs, you can do firmware updates yourself rather than the ancient LCD monitors where any firmware fixes, you have to send of to the manufacturer to do for you...

forgot to add if you want cheaper premium certified cables just for general connections (virgin/sky boxes and bluray players etc)


kenable Certified HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz UHD HDR 18Gbps Premium Cable Black 3m [3 metres]

  • ASIN : B07CL3S9SJ
  • Item model number : 009673
They cost 5.57 from rainforest

obviously if money is not an issue those belkin 2.1 hdmi cables all the way

Will be a pain to get behind this TV to plug in USB drive :p - TV came with 3.11.30 firmware, what benefits does the current fw have?
Click to expand...

There is a usb port on the left hand side where hdmi ports 1-3 are, its just after the last hdmi port.

I use a cheap 2 quid usb extension lead off the bay, that way dont have to go the pitta route.

Really impressive the 3.21.16 firmware, its raised the brightness back up and improved the raised blacks and posterization issue is cleaned up more, basically in light to dark scenes you get a cleaner detailed picture with less noise.

Have been wondering why my horror films last few nights have looked so smooth and clean, its probably one of the best if not best firmware's released since LG CX arrived.

Picked it up earlier and it's awesome, love it!

Can't get RGB full chroma on it yet but I'm putting it down to a super crappy cable I'm using, still looks incredible :)

Nice give it a good 2-3 weeks and it will really shine better, if its not hitting RGB and full dynamic range has to be the cable, usually the certified cables are good
but sometimes they can still have issues, so it can be trial and error going through hdmi cables !

If you got the cables from rainforest, easy refund and return anyhow.

And id recommend the latest firmware.
