Visually no. It is all just the small QoL thing when using a real monitor. USB ports, u don't need a remote to wake up the monitor from sleep. It is pretty stupid when u slap ur keyboard and expect the monitor wakes up and end up realize u need to go grab the remote :x big problem ? No, but if main use is monitor and don't need all the tv feature m, then it is probably better to get this at this price .
Most people? I don't know a single person personally who has one.
Really? I have like 4 usb c docks with displayport and hdmi on them. Been getting them for my phones and other devices for like 3 or 4 years now.
I think its more likely most people DO own one and that you are the minority on this. I mean they are like 20 bucks on amazon.
30 if you need one with decent PD.
To paraphrase Blizzard (and I hate to quote them but must) Don't you all own phones? Or laptops or tablets or any of the myriad devices you can use a hub to plug into keyboard/mouse and 4 screens?

The one you are talking about is a hub, not a dock. Yes, most poeple own a hub, including me.

Just giving you a solution man. It's how I run my setup. Now you know one 😏
Thanks, I know.
In order to drive a 4k@60Hz+ display, let alone multiple of them, you need a proper thunderbolt dock. They fetch as much as a decent monitor to begin with.
Is this better/worse/same as Aorus fo48u 48" 4k oled. The aorus has USB-C but not really for the use case people were talking about above. It's more for use with the built in kvm. Think it can only carry a 1080p signal and doesn't output enough wattage to power much more than a small ultrabook. I use a USB C to display port cable for 4k 120hz from my laptop. Works with multiple laptops I've tried as long as it's a thunderbolt port. The aorus regularly goes on sale for 700. It's an LG OLED panel but I assume LG would save the best panels for themselves? Who knows. I've been enjoying my extra screen real estate. I'm sure this would make an excellent monitor as well.
I'm sure it's fine for some setups, but thats a lot of screen at normal desk viewing distance. 48" at 2-3 feet is crazy. Your head is going to be all over the place to track anything on screen.
If I'm going to look at a screen that big, I'll just use the 65" LG C1 on the other side of the room.
Excuse my ignorance, but how different is this from a C1 or c2? Aside from the fact that it has a display port
I wouldnt say it isnt different. Aside from the display port and ability to overclock the refresh to 138hz, this screen has a matte coating. C1 and C2 have the traditional glass screen for oleds so the colors do pop more.
It was the sole reason i went C1. The reflections on it bothered me none to need to have a matte. Subjective opinion, but there is a difference to me for color presentation.

I think I'll end up with the 42" LG C2. Which is still going to be a huge adjustment from my current 32"

Even if you need 100w PD unless you really need to dock it in a fancy way to save space, you can find a cheap hub that does it just fine.
