Someone explain to me how this is better than the LG C1 48 at 1300 Best Buy?
Who said that? This monitor is nowhere near as good as the C1. The C1 has HDR, supports Dolby Vision and a host of others. This monitor doesn't support any of the enhanced visual formats, nor does it has HDR.

As others have said, wouldn't burn-in be a serious issue? Even if you use it for work since most operating systems have static menus/toolbars toward the bottom or top.

All OLED's are at risk of burn-in, but some more than others. For instance I've been using a 65" LGCX for gaming, web browsing, work, movie watching etc. Going on 5000 hours now and not a hint of burn-in. LG has come a long way with anti-burn-in functions that work real well. This Gigabyte display I'm not very familiar with so can't really comment on any anti-burn-in functions

Agreed, I would buy the LG OLED TV over this Gigabyte. The Gigabyte 43" version has a VA panel.

When the C9s were released, I screamed "HALLELUJAH!" for G-Sync support. From that point (two or three years ago??) , I thought LG footed-the-bill to include a formal G-Sync chip.

In researching this just now, after Wagg's comments, it turns out to be just generic support for VRR, which is "G-Sync compatible".
Good reference here explaining the difference between the chip and compatible-

https://www.displayninja.com/g-sy...ve-g-sync/

Without the chip Gsync uses VESA adaptive sync.

What (if anything) do you lose without the chip?


The chip "guarantees" the display has variable overdrive- but displays without the chip can support that too, it's just not in all of them so it's not unique to the chip being there- more significantly- OLEDs don't need this at all because their GtG is already nearly 0.[/B]


The chip also lets you start your variable refresh range at 30Hz instead of 40Hz- but if you're running resolution/settings that drop below 40 fps refresh you should turn down your settings- or just give up on PC gaming and get a console if you're ok with framerates that low.... so again you're not really getting anything out of the chip assuming your gaming PC is competent.



For a non-OLED, 60Hz native refresh, display- having the chip can do a LOT for you.

For a 120Hz native OLED- I'd bet money folks would find no difference in double-blind A/B testing. (I'm unsure you'd even be able to measure a difference with calibrated testing equipment)

Auto hide task bar.

Hide desktop icons.

Make your wallpaper a 4k slideshow with a bunch of cool images.

9000+ hours using an LG OLED C6 as primary PC display, plus games, movies, and TV- 0 burn in.

Upgraded to a CX last year- still no burn in and don't expect any.

"..Really the only reason to buy this is if you already don't have a CX/C1 or just want the convenience/feature set of a monitor vs TV. I know it sounds trivial but I'm super over turning my CX on and off as necessary + all the TV garbage...."
Disable the wifi on it. Will stop some of the tv garbage

What TV garbage is he talking about? Other than 'smart tv menu appears at the bottom for 5 seconds when you turn it on" I haven't really noticed anything at all...

I guess maybe once every few weeks a message about some channel change shows for a couple seconds too?

And you don't even really need to turn it on/off at all if you don't want to- you can set it to just go to a black screen if it's idle for however long and it'll light back up when you hit a key or somehting.
