It does seem to be somewhat content dependent. But there have been quite a few occasions where even in my dark basement setup, I go to turn up the brightness due to not being able to see much detail in a dark scene or game, only to find that it's all the way up already.
It's not a deal breaker for me, but if it was in a well lit room I could see becoming frustrated with it. That said, it does have a subtle matte finish (a deal breaker for others) and is very glare resistant. So, yaknow, pros and cons.
I guess I'll go ahead and add the other commentary here instead of making a new comment:
It's way heavier than the c3 for some reason. kind of annoying for mounting purposes.
The back bias lighting might be annoying for some (but you can turn it off.)
The remote it comes with is comically large and unintuitive for only having a couple of buttons.
LG's monitor software is convoluted and confusing (combination of downloaded programs and built-in ui.) It took some time, frustration and research to figure out how to unlock picture setting adjustments and half of the modes. (Displaying an HDR enabled source locks out built-in picture adjustments in various levels depending on the source.)
The picture is amazing, and it looks very sleek when off, screen uniformity is perfect, the packaging is nicely protective and sturdy, and the stand is very robust, and has a moderately usable cable management system with front audio io.
the built-in speakers are shockingly good (maybe some of the weight) with even more surprising bass.
all-in-all I think this is a very reasonable price for a pretty awesome monitor, if you have a practical use for something this size.
This one also has a lot of bad reviews on Amazon, people saying they got lemons. Also there are no physical buttons only a non-standard remote. So if the remote is lost or broken you are in trouble.

I wonder if retailers are feeling a lack of consumer spending and are throwing discounts at them to entice?

The 48GQ900 is much flatter looking. The colors dont pop like the CX does.
Also, the settings menu is really limited in the GQ900

Moving from a curved supermegaultrawide to this took a week or two of adjustment. I also ended up buying a cheap Ikea desk to put me two feet further away; I was getting some motion sickness while gaming. (My eyes are about 55" away from the screen now.)
If you can sit far enough back - I highly, highly recommended!

I honestly have zero complaints. I love this monitor.
