Newbie is user who knows exactly what features he wants out of a television and/or monitor.

Pro user saw $900 42" television and thought "Gee, I better go tell these people there's a $150 option out there! Surely they'll stop desiring something else and save their money!"

Maybe you don't understand this, but there are volume options…and then there are luxury options. You're comparing Cuisinart to Wusthof; a Kia Rio to an S-class; a Casio to a Rolex. Do they have the same basic functionality? Yep. Do the latter options do much more and can be nicer if you have discerning tastes? Yep.

Stay out of threads if items you don't understand; better yet, read up and learn the differences between your ultra-frugal picks and the presented options so you can have some valuable input.

Be a pro.

🤣 You're comparing a Ferrari to a Daewoo. Anyone considering getting this TV would never settle for a $129 TCL piece of crap.

MSRP on this unit basically dropped to $999 on November 1st. This would make it $897 (w) a 4-yr warranty. I bet it goes way lower though - this is closer to a "small" tv than a big one and $900-$1000 is not likely to move the needle much for a 42" TV, OLED or not...

Theres not many options in the 42" or 43" 4K/120 space. These are popular for use as a monitor so this size tends to not get discounted as much as you might expect. I'm looking to replace a 43" 4K/60 led monitor with this.

LG partner store has it for $813 for their BF sale plus $25 shipping. Considering the gift card and warranty, this does look like the better deal. It may drop as we get close to new models in spring but I doubt any time this year.

The 48" C1 is roughly the same price. I'm thinking of getting into gaming....and tons of people online say the C1 is where it's at. Is that accurate info?

It depends but you need to be careful at 48. It's way too big for most FPS games and games that have a lot of movement, shakiness and blurriness. For a serious gamer, I feel like 32 is already plenty big. If you're playing 3rd person games with little movement, 42 and up is fine. Gigabyte M32u is a perfect price and size if you can push that resolution. Most can't push 4k 144hz without big dips in the important parts. I wouldn't overthink it. The LG oleds are great for a nice immersive experience but if you want to play warzone all night with your friends, you shouldn't go too big or high res. You're going to hate dropping frames in fights.

yes the c1 is the final model to allow 120 Hz black frame insertion. the c2 has the evo panel but i'm not convinced it's a deal-making upgrade. i ended up getting the c1 6 months ago myself before it could become unavailable.

this is all assuming they were going to use it as a monitor.

I'm using this TV as a monitor now and it's the most amazing looking monitor I have ever seen. Well worth it. A $9 service remote will help you to get rid of the auto dimming feature.

$9 service remote to get rid of auto dimming? Tell me more about this. Never heard of this issue and why is a remote required? Genuinely curious because I want this TV when the price is lower.

This is solvable via software on these.

With nvidia's drivers/config tool you can only run a smaller portion of the screen as if it were a smaller monitor in every way.

I had an LG 48 CX for a while. I used it at full resolution the normal way for work/web browsing, but when I wanted to play a fast game like call of duty I configured it to run as a 2560x1440 120hz virtual screen that was probably roughly 25 or 28" in size in the center of the screen. All other pixels on the TV were completely turned off.

I don't mean that the window is smaller or something, I mean literally turns off all pixels outside of a centered 2560x1440 box, and all OS behavior acts as if it was just powering a smaller 2560x1440 monitor. No performance difference from an actual 1440p monitor. The whole system just treats the other pixels as if they don't exist.

Now, you might think that this would create horrible burn in. Not a problem at all. If I was playing cod for 300h then over time there would be a difference between the pixels in the middle that were used for regular use and games, and the pixels on the outside that were only used for regular use. However, whenever it was annoying enough I would just run the built in burn-in fixer in the lg tv settings and then it would be back to brand new again. I used it for a few years as a PC monitor and it looked the same at the end as it did at the start. The software burn in fixer works absolutely perfectly indefinitely.

There's no reason (besides cost) not to get a 43+ inch screen these days, it's just that people don't understand that having an X" screen really means you can simulate any <=X" screen size with identical performance to just having a physically smaller screen.
