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.
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.
This is a very helpful post, as I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade from a 27" QHD IPS display to the 42" OLED. I'm afraid 42" is going to be too big, but the ability to center a 32" image on a 42" panel is intriguing. You called out nvidia for having this feature, so I went chasing it down on my AMD card. And yes, it's there.
The remaining challenges are the glossy screen finish -- but my room lighting is generally dim, so hopefully that checks that box. And finally . . . price. I'm sitting tight until Black Friday actually comes around to see what deals competition will drive.
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?
The C2 is where it's at, since it's better than the C1. However, the C1 is where it was at before that. It's still an extremely good TV for gaming, and only slightly worse than the C2. I don't even like using the word "worse," to describe it, because it's just a little less good. Personally, I think anyone who doesn't already have a C1 should get the C2 just because it's newer, but anyone who has a C1 doesn't really need to get a C2.

I had the same debate but I ended up buying the c2 last week. Simply because it has a smaller chance of burn in. I am also using it as a monitor. I have a fairly good size desk and the tv is wall mounted. I sometimes question if its too big there is no way I could see using a 48 inch at an office desk.

I'll be playing first person shooters... Like modern warfare. So don't get a 48" OLED?? Too big??
48 is way too big. I bought a curved 48 long, long ago and it is terrible for FPS. A flat one would be even worse. I think 40 would be perfect, but 42 is probably okay.

So no one plays modern warfare on a screen larger than 42????
