Posting this text from another thread but have been running on an LG CX 48 since this Sunday afternoon. Holy shootballs, what an amazing gaming 'monitor'...!.
Took some serious setting up and settings tinkering, however. Windows is pretty much ok (some slightly funny text but this is due to the fact it's a tv) but I think it's very usable, after a couple of days working on it during lockdown work-from-home and I find it’s great. Lovely, spacious, expansive.
I don’t ‘see’ that it’s a tv any more. I noticed a very, very, very slight flickering, but think this disappeared when I turned off some sort of variably adjusted power saving features. Will let you know more after some more time with it. Working mainly with documents, spreadsheets and graphic intensive pdfs and image files. Running it in ‘Game’ mode with many setting adjustments and this works best as mr carrot says at the top of the thread.
Needed to play a bit with default zoom levels in certain apps like browsers, but I’m running 100% font size in windows 7.
The size is perfect - simply perfect. Have it on my desk just the right distance to be super immersive, but not too close and in my face. I used a third party vesa mount to get it at the right height off the desktop (30mm off the surface approx), and as close a distance from the back wall as I could get (the base that ships with the TV is very deep) so as not to be too close in a desk environment. I haven't installed it on the standard base that ships with the tv yet, went straight to vesa mount. I have a 750mm deep desk and pulled it off the wall by about 150-200mm. The vesa mount I used can oversail the edge of desk to hug the wall, so I’d say I sit at about 700-1000mm off the monitor face depending on if I’m leaning back for gaming or a bit closer for work and ‘concentration’.
Mount is HT01B-001 from HEMUDU. V cheap and not my intended permanent mount but works pretty well to be honest.
Am running it at 4K 60hz and will await better cards later in the year to (hopefully!) drive it at 120hz.
Am following various recommendations around burn in, might be overly cautious for now but will do more research to see how cautious I need to be. I happen to run stardock Fences which allows you to clear the desktop with a double click, so I can hide my desktop icons. Also have no back picture, and run auto-hide on taskbar. The monitor has a ‘pixel step’ feature which moves the screen image around periodically by about 1 or 2 pixels every now and again. This apparently additionally prevents burn in.
played some games (elite dangerous, alien isolation, left for dead 2) all awesome. Nice deep, rich colours and no ‘glow’ that you get from from normal panels. OLED really is amazing. Deep blacks especially good for games like Elite... nice rich, detailed, clarity of deep space. No blurring or ghosting, and all very very responsive. Size provides perfect peripheral immersion without being ‘head-turny’ (technical term, write it down).
Had to fiddle with gamma a little in games, and this goes part and parcel with the monitor ‘picture’ setup so there’s quite a lot to do to get colours, balance, tint, clear fonts, etc all working well. But I’ve got it in a good place now and really happy with it.
