Nice deal.
The C2 Will have an Evo Panel about ~30% Brighter so more vibrant colors and better glare handling.
It'll also have a significantly better processor, for both video quality as well as the speed at which your Apps launch/run
Then finally it'll have 120 HZ Native for anyone who prioritizes Sports/Action/Gaming
Less importantly the 48" C2 will have a center base instead of legs. (Matters to some more than most)
Again not saying don't get the A2. I literally bought this model at this price for my Dads Christmas It's an amazing TV and there isn't a better TV to grab as your first step into OLED.
I'm just saying don't oversimplify the differences, It's twice the price for a more than just "Better gaming features"
Thanks for the tip. Going to give it a try.
Monitor and work tasks ?
The 42 is probably the sweet spot for a monitor for this reason, although... this is a pretty good price.

Total Powered On Time said 1-hour once I finally checked it after having it on about 30 minutes (You want this and NOT the Screen Time report under Family Settings, which will reset with a reset. Power on Time is at -> All Settings/ General/ Devices/ TV Management/ TV Information/ Total Power On Time).
Pain in the rear having to set up an account before you can do anything and definitely not a fan of the pointer/ mouse style remote, but I am sure I can tweak some settings or get used to it. The form factor is very nice and most importantly, the picture is beautiful - deep blacks, bright colors, and smooth for streaming movie content. Perhaps a little more glare on the screen that my previous matte Samsung display but wasn't terrible. Anyhow just first impressions after messing with it for 45 minutes.
Tomorrow will be a deeper dive on settings and calibration (https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews...d/settings)
Anyhow, I think this was an incredible deal and no regrets.
EDIT: just saw that you do have to setup an LG account to install non-preinstalled apps which is definitely a pain
I had high hopes but returned the A2 back to Bestbuy.
I wanted to replace my 14 year old Samsung 7000 series w/ 3D with this LG A2 but it is not a better TV.
Pros:
Great colors
Cons:
- In a bright room the darks are too dark, can't see detail
- In general after trying many settings the brights are too bright and the darks are too dark unless you watch it in a dim or dark room and adjust accordingly.
- My 14 year old TV is clearer watching sports.
- Because it is OLED with a weaker processor when the TV is switching scenes the A2 goes black for a millisecond, this gets annoying after a while. You can only notice when two (Samsung and LG) TVs are next to each other.
In Summary- I wanted better colors and a clear TV for watching sports, as compared to my 14 year old Samsung. It is not better than my old TV so it went back. I guess I need to move up to LG C2 or Sony A95K for thousands $$ more.
Update: I tried the LG C2 and you do not see the milisecond black blinking in between switching scenes. It is a much brighter TV and perfect colors. I only noticed the blinking on the A2 when the two TVs are next to each other watching the same content. It's just a milisecond delay when switching screens, people won't notice when the TV is by itself. I do not know the exact difference between the A2 and the C2 but my eyes tell me the A2 is slower refreshing each screen , especially when it has to do the entire screen with all new content and colors. Howeve in a dimly lit room with the TV by itself it probably doesn't matter. You would think the LG A2 processor would be faster and better than a 14 year old (high end for its time) Samsung TV, but that is not what I am seeing, the LG C2's processor is better.
The link someone else posted. Picture quality is great for $420. I'd have to spend double to get meaningful improved picture quality. Will keep for now… until I decide if I need 120hz
Would not recommend in bright rooms or at Normal price
Menu is kinda annoying and slow except for webOS which runs fine

For anyone wondering, the TV is amazing. Absolutely brand-new. 0 hours screen time prior to me setting it up. No marks/scratches/etc. No dead pixels or any flaws at all. In our usually-dark bedroom, it works perfectly. If anyone is planning to move into their local Best Buy and watch TV under bright retail store lights, you might want more brightness. For the rest of us, however, it's absolutely fine and nothing to worry about at all.
