So any news on when the 42 inch might come out?
2023 I heard as most likely. Can't wait to buy one to replace my CX48 for desktop use. Love my CX48, no better monitor for my needs, though 6" less would make FPS feel perfect.
Another happy customer her. Been using my CX48 for 16-18 hours a day since June 2020. 0 burn in. Best tech purchase I've made for years.
I had one for a week or so and returned it due to pink and cyan tinting.
You can see pink and cyan tinting in desktop use on white backgrounds due to how close you are to the screen and the anti-reflective coating. I sat 3ft away.
Couldn't see any tinting 6ft away and the tint moves around with your line of sight so it's a limitation of the anti-reflective coating.
I'm surprised hardly anyone is mentioning this as it makes lighter coloured and white backgrounds look awful.
yeah same here was and still am afraid of leaks, but well took the plunge, i was first hoping the ice giant would be good but it didnt pan out, so went full custom watercooling

Is screen burning will be an issue on OLED monitor?
Associate
Don't use wallpaper, desktop icons, and hide taskbar + bin leave the screen black also the rule is mix your content with games and streaming don't play the same game every day mix your games turn the OLED light to 40/50 if you don't follow the rules then you will get a burn-in/Image Retention within a year or so
LG OLED TV ANTI-BURN-IN TECHNIQUES
OLED Image Retention or Burn-In: Burn-in and image retention are possible on virtually any display. However, with an LG OLED TV, any risk of burn-in or image retention have been addressed through the use of technology that not only helps protect against damage to the screen, but features self-healing properties so that any short-term image retention that may occur is quickly rectified. It is rare for an average TV consumer to create an environment that could result in burn-in. Most cases of burn-in in televisions is a result of static images or on-screen elements displaying on the screen uninterrupted for many hours or days at a time – with brightness typically at peak levels. So, it is possible to create image retention in almost any display if one really tries hard enough. And even if image retention does occur from extreme usage, it can usually be mitigated within a short period of time by turning the display off for a while, and watching a few hours of varying content (such as your standard TV watching and channel-surfing).
Additionally, LG OLED TVs come with special features and settings to preserve image quality and prevent burn in and image retention. First, there is a Screen Saver feature that will turn on automatically if the TV detects that a static image is displayed on screen after approximately two minutes. There are also three options (available in Menu setting > Picture settings > OLED panel settings) that can be used to preserve image quality. The first of these is the Clear Panel Noise feature that preserves the quality of the image on the display panel by resetting the TV so that it clears the pixels. This feature can be turned on when needed within the settings mentioned above. The second feature that can be employed is the Screen Shift feature which, moves the screen slightly at regular intervals to preserve image quality. A third option is the Logo Luminance Adjustment, which can detect static logos on the screen and reduce brightness to help decrease permanent image retention.
So, in short: Reasonable, responsible usage of an OLED TV, combined with powerful image preservation abilities should result in a seamless home entertainment experience.

You mention Ice Giant and I research it and it uses dielectric fluid why can't custom watercooling coolant do the same! What's wrong with the Lazy manufactures today!, by look at the image of ice giant I can see why you didn't use it in your RGB build. But for me looks OK
if and when safe coolant use the dielectric fluid I will start a custom RGB watercooling build myself.This Ice Giant would be better than the AIO if your case supports it

Whats the point of paying premium price for a monitor which I can't use bright wallpapers?
Go buy a different screen to OLED then. Its not perfect, has certain things you have to do but to get the equivalent picture you need to buy a £3k 32" mini led screen. You can go through three 48" OLEDs for the same money if you arent bothered about burn in.
Or buy from JL and buy the 5 year burn in warranty and then put all your bright wallpapers that you want on it.

No No. I'm just making a point.
Since OLD is bad for static and bright imaged and mostly PC screen will be static. So why sell something at premium price if it not fit for purpose? They could at least keep the price competitive

i've had my E8 since release back in 2018 gets used daily for films, tv, and has had many hours (500-1000 i dare say) of high brightness games with many static elements. No burn what so ever.
Just needs varied use.
In terms of PQ then oled is about the best available for games and tv/movies. Nothing else comes close really IMO.

First question it's not just a monitor it's a Smart TV/monitor. Second question everyone who owns an OLED here understands how to use it with varied use, members Greebo, & tyler_jrb point it out to you so if it's not fit for your purpose don't buy it
Nothing can beat an OLED - IQ has yet

16-18 hours I thought my 12 hours of TV & gaming was long enough in a day lol
If only it was for consumers use it would end Custom water-cooling & AIO

nothing yet, LG did hint a 31" and 42" oled will arrive this year but we have not seen any info so far apart from the possible LG EX life style german website which could just be rumour.

Given how Lg has improved their manufacturing it should be easy to product the 42 and 31" size screens so will just be need to hope it comes out soon, I believe LG earlier this year when they said 42" will arrive in 2021 this year though.

Do you have any black brush issue?
Soldato
I don't understand the idea of buying an OLED and wanting to use white backgrounds. Surely going for a dark mode/black background for the maximum contrast is the whole purpose here?
I've probably got quite a few hundred hours on my 48CX now. Mixed mostly between R6: Siege (static elements), F1 2020 (static), watching football, however games like Age of Wonders have been played on it... Gaming is done with OLED Light 20-30, Sport is maybe 45-50 and then TV/films are 70-90 depending. If I know I'm leaving it static or Siege hangs on loading the next round (has been 10 minutes before..) I just switch it off. One thing I do is leave it on standby permanently if I can and that way it has all the time in the world to do its self-repair stuff. I will be EXTREMELY surprised if this set suffers from burn-in.

RTINGS tested OLED for burn-in on a variety of content, from news and general TV to sports and gaming. During the testing period, the technology reviewers assessed and reported on the screens’ brightness and colour renderings every two weeks. The channels and content were respectively displayed in intervals of a five-hour ‘on’ period and one-hour ‘off’ period during a cycle that was repeated four times per day. The tests found that the TVs were most affected by burn-in when they were set to maximum brightness and were showing gaming content and news channels, as both types of content often feature static graphics on screen. After 5000 hours, the TVs testing this content displayed the mark of these logos on screen, even when the content was no longer being played. Update 05/31/2019: The TVs have now been running for over 9000 hours (around 5 years at 5 hours every day). Uniformity issues have developed on the TVs displaying Football and FIFA 18, and are starting to develop on the TV displaying Live NBC. Our stance remains the same, we don't expect most people who watch varied content without static areas to experience burn-in issues with an OLED TV.
RTINGS haven't updated for the 2020 last year models they are still testing older OLED panels that came out in 2017 -19 maybe it's because 2020/21 model have anti burn in features.
LCD panels last about 60,000 hours or 6.8 years of continuous use, OLEDs on the other hand are more expensive to produce Over time the panel will die, but that usually takes around 100,000 hours of continuous use (or 11.4 years)for newer panels.
