Up from a Samsung CF791 (which was a completely underwhelming upgrade from a Samsung S34E790C).
I've got a c9 77inch as my living room TV so can do a comparison of new features too.
LG OLED C9 as a PC monitor - Yes, I'm crazy, Yes time to get some burn in.

Don't know why i'm waiting...i'll very likely be buying the darn thing
LOL yeah I get that, seems fantastic
Yeah have seen that to; no need if you allready have the C9, well if you dont have AMD gpu, as I get it only the CX will support freesync. And that BFI at 4K - 120hz.
But actually I never use that on my PG279Q. Much better to have g-sync. VRR is a must for me
And as I have heard atleast the OLED should be atleast as good as a fast monitor with motion handling. Some say it's way better but I dont know as it' still sample and hold. Well annyway, if the price wont come down that much on the CX. I might aswell just go for the C9 and be more then happy

I have the B9 but 65", assume it would be the same, its almost the same TV, could plug my PC in tomorrow and see if nobody else can confirm.
Just set a custom resolution in windows, as long as the custom resolution is within the panel's limits then it should work... though I'm not sure why anyone would want to do it that way..

Think it's because you can set an ultra wide resolution.

Seating distance is 10 ft from screen so a bit over your distance - in terms of size... it is good enough from that distance but I will be upgrading to the 88inch when the price gets under 10k (I presume next years model) as the 77inch doesn't really deliver the "increase in immersion" factor the upgrade from 50inch plasma to 65inch oled managed (I had an E6 set).
The actual set it superb though, can't fault any element of it, VRR works great with Xbox 1. Only complaint would be the crappy remote for such an expensive tv - the E6 metal remote was class.
Here is a pic for comparison against a person.

Is this what you meant? This is 3840 x 1440, Path of Exile game.
Just set a custom resolution in windows.
I had both and I'd edge towards the B9.
You can set the aspect ratio to whatever you want (the GPU scales it). You can adjust the height to more or less. I always found the CRG9 felt too short and obviously you can't change that.
CRG9 positives
+Burn in resistant
+Curved screen
+Freesync
+Looks nicer on a desk
+Can sit closer to it
B9 positives
+Everything else
It doesn’t look like the 77” C9 will be dropping to C8 price level of last year in the Uk. Maddening considering how cheap they were in Europe months ago.

What hz do you run this at man, 60hz or can you push it higher?

Agreed, don't think 2.0b has the bandwidth to push it any more but am just curious if it can.

60hz was the max it would allow.

Ok thanks, I gather the B/C9 allows 120hz at normal 1440p res.

Assume so, didn't try it, only got to play for half an hour as wife/kids were moaning about actually watching TV. 
I should build an ITX rig for it, ball ache moving huge PC.
