Price performance on the A is exceptional for a lot of use cases. If you game on a modern platform it's junk, yes, with the 60hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 and VRR. If you're throwing it into a bedroom as a mid-size TV used mostly at night for streaming it's a value beast.
You guys are acting like this is a crappy lcd. It's still an Oled that blows almost any tv out of the water. As for gaming on a 60hz display, you do know Starfield comes out next month and runs at 30fps? There are not a whole lot of games running above 60 on either consoles.
Junk is a pretty solid exaggeration.

Refresh Rate is only 60 Hz. If all you watch is streaming and OTA stuff, it's totally fine and will obviously still have great picture quality, much better than most any LCDs at this price point.

Tradeoff is features. If those features are not useful to you, then save a few bucks. Otherwise, step up to the C2 for 30% more cost and you get them.

Quote from Intranetusa :
I thought almost all modern games have hardware side technologies to prevent screen tearing so it doesn't matter even if the display doesn't have VRR?

For example, PC games have had vertical sync for like 2 decades. If we are just hooking a gaming computer/laptop directly to the TV then all games would be able to use V-sync.

Do the newer consoles not have vertical sync?

VRR is very necessary, otherwise it wouldn't be a big selling point and you wouldn't have so many gamers (myself included) swearing by it. The consoles have v-sync, but several new games still have horrible screen tearing. PC still has screen tearing on plenty of games, too. The new Star Wars: Jedi Survivor has screen tearing towards the top of the screen, when in performance mode. The Mass Effect collection had really bad tearing in certain parts of the game. There are some others that I can't think of off the top of my head right now, but while VRR doesn't always remedy the situation (like with Jedi Survivor), it does help and it completely remedies most cases. For instance, God of War Ragnarok has a high performance mode (if you have a 120hz display) that fluctuates between around 70fps-120fps. It's constantly going up and down, but because of VRR, it doesn't look choppy and the screen doesn't tear, because the TV is adjusting its own framerate to match the game's rate. Any hardcore gamer will tell you VRR is a Godsend. It's sort of something you just have to experience for yourself. I'm sure someone else can explain it better than I can. I just know what I see. I have a C2 OLED and I've experimented with turning VRR off and on and there really is a noticeable difference. VRR really is, pardon the pun, a game changing feature.

Quote from BillM8880 :
"A" series is missing that vivid pop found in pretty much every other kind of OLED, but other than that is a great value/picture for a secondary tv. The built in settings engine and streaming service provider is really fast and nice as well.
Agree. Bought and returned this last December b/c brightness was lacking; my 20-year old Sony was more vivid than this one. The "magic" remote was annoying as heck, and yes I tried all the hacks to defeat it without success. (Why doesn't LG make the pointing feature user select-able??)

If folks are OK with a dim TV and don't mind the remote it's a decent value.

Quote from ncvaun :
Hey All, quick question for all you gurus out there on TVs vs. Monitors. Will these LG OLED TVs work (good) as monitors for your PC? I know many years ago, if you tried this it would offer a lot of "lag" with the mouse and movement on the screen. Wanted to see if the technology has changed and if its possible now. I know this is crazy but I recently purchased the LG 48GQ900-B monitor from CostCo and I hate it as I mostly do office work and no gaming, but I wanted a bigger display. I know you must be thinking Im crazy to be asking if the OLED TV is better, well I just might be. lol The new monitor I just got is horrible with text and fonts, the dimming feature is so highly annoying, etc.

I have no experience myself, but I've been through lots and lots of comments on these LG OLEDs and I can tell you that there are lots and lots of people using them as monitors. I think most use the 42" size, but I've seen others who use 48" (I've also seen complaints that the 42" doesn't go on sale). I think most people go with the C model, so I'm not sure if the A model is just as good as a monitor.

But yeah, you're not at all crazy for thinking about this.

Sit around the camp fire kids. I might be showing my age a little but there was a time when people talked about tv deals on here in the context of watching movies and shows.

Got this TV a year ago open-box excellent from best buy for 440+tax. Have it corner mounted in a bedroom with a Sonos bracket mounted below it.

Mostly watch shows and movies on it at night, it's more than bright enough, even in the day, but I usually close the curtains of the windows facing it. Also I set it to it's lowest brightness setting when it's late and I'm getting ready to go to sleep. I'm more than satisfied with it at the price I got it for.

I will say I debate on hooking a external streaming device too it, since I am annoyed with lgs constant app updates that require you to log in to their service just to update . (For example 1-2 times a week for Netflix alone) also they change the user terms multiple times and require agreement just to use the smart features, if you don't they cut off access. But with that said the TV preforms great in most use cases for the price I paid.

I bought this TV last year for my bedroom and it's fantastic. The picture quality is fantastic. I've got a 55 inch C level LG OLED in the main room and this one matches it in every category except: Sound and HDR brightness. The sound is a bit "tinny" to my ears. No problem for me as I matched it with a Sonos Beam Gen 2 (ie the same speaker I've got for my LG "C" OLED 55 inch). Sound is now amazing!! Really the HDR brightness is a "touch" below the 55 inch "C" level LG OLED's…but still it's an amazing TV. I picked it up last year at BB for $569….the steal of the century!

Please list major differences between the. A and C!

Great deal, picked up an excellent condition open box for $490 at my local BB and only had an hour of screen on time so I'd count that as slick! Thx OP!
