LG UltraGear 48" Class OLED UHD (4K) Gaming Monitor + $100 Digital Credit | Costco $899 ($799 after credit)

$899.00

$799 after the digital credit. From the LG website, the digital credit can be used on the following services:

EA Play, Google Play, Microsoft 365, Roblox, Xbox, and Twitch.

Curious what people think about this. Seems like one of the cheapest OLEDs I've seen, especially at this size. I assume it must be on the lower end of OLEDs in terms of performance.

I'd be more interested in this for work instead of gaming. I would probably bite immediately if it was curved, but 48" is a bit too large for a flat screen for work purposes imo. Almost seems like the best use case for this is playing PC games with a controller from a moderately close distance.

note: this is based on an LG C2 basically and this doesn't have any TV features like Netflix, etc apps
but it does have DisplayPort for PCs (still has HDMI too)

the main use for this on a PC would be to use PowerToys with FancyZones
this essentially lets you convert this to an ultra-wide monitor (you use only the center 21:9 portion) with a bit of extra space on top/bottom
since this is an OLED the top/bottom areas will actually be black so it would look very similar to a 21:9 ultra-wide monitor but allow you to but tertiary apps like a command-line or calculator etc in the extra spaces on top/bottom

Anyone try this for work and programming? Maybe the 42" LG OLED would be better?

Going from a 32" 4k LG (VA panel), I have been looking at a curved and possibly larger solution. 5k2k's (Dell vs LG) among others. I'm willing to pay a decent premium for text clarity due to vision problems. (Apple's pro display would be ideal but yeah, that price is insane.)

Text is fuzzy on this one.

For $100 more, you can get the LG C3 48" TV and use as a PC monitor, which is still more superior than this one.

Why is it superior?

It's not superior. It's the same fuzzy text from the world of oled. It is so bad compared to IPS, you wouldn't believe it.

My C3 looked like garbage off the gate. It wasnt until I enabled PC passthrough and deselected "Screen Move" that it drastically improved. I do not encounter fuzzy text compared to my IPS.
