I bought this based on review and IMO the capped peak full screen brightness under 150nits is in fact excellent. When using a display this large, the overall screen brightness is eye searing on 43" VA and IPS screens at even 300nits due to the sheer size, I have used several and no matter what you will get eye strain after a few hours. Its a literal wall of light. On the OLED however, black background generates zero passive screen emission with small pockets of light and full white is not eye searing, rather caps at 150nis which looks grey and is kind of busted, but I assure you, a 600+ nit 48" HDR flash-bang will send you blind at 1am in a dark room. If you use monitors a lot (ie for work), the OLED is much easier on the eyes and you can bring it down extremely, extremely dim and still be usable. Kind of random but thought I would mention in case someone reads.

Couple of things ; HDMI 2.1 is pretty much unsupported in anything other than Windows and will likely continue to be the case due the HDMI consortia basically saying DSC can't be implemented in the open. This makes anything that needs to be fed by HDMI2.1 to achieve i.e 8k@60 or above or VRR impossible on an Operating system using Open Standards drivers i.e Linux/FreeBSD. Especially concerning given SteamDeck and other platforms. In summary the inclusion of Display Port is the real feature here - and I was uncertain how you were driving the panel from the review. I strongly recommend you do testing on a modern Linux Distro (i.e Fedora etc) so compare what is broken in the various vendor implementations as part of your reviews. VRR can be implemented over HDMI2.0 but is not standard so it would be interesting to know which panels the vendors have taken time to make sure Open compatibility is implemented. There is a potential work around by using DP1.4->HDMI2.1 active adaptors for at least High refresh rate support, however VRR won't be negotiated through these adaptors.

Its basic economics, actually. This is not a TV, but a gaming monitor. Therefore, its market is much smaller (intensified by its high price, but even at 500 dollars less only few people would buy it, since its practical use case is so limited) and its price will be higher, since a smaller range of units sold will have to cover costs for R&D, marketing, production and so on. People keep complaining about how (gaming) monitors are so much more expensive relative to the features offered when compared to TVs - this is the reason right here. For the FO48U specifically, you'll also have to add the factor of street pricing to having been able to drop yet, since the model reached the market only recently.

Quick update as someone owns this, the display has a very tedious panel protection feature that anyone using/owning this will know and hate. This is basically where reviews still fall short and "old skool" owners forums are way better resources of information. After about 4 hours of use or so, it will force off the display and the LED will flash for 5 minutes exactly, this "panel protection" feature is not particularly welcome at the end of a PUBG round, or a CSGO match, almost makes this monitor unusable for any competitive gaming. Even work, as I had this monitor go into panel protection when I was on a Zoom call. Busted boys, straight busted. Hence the discounts as I think this is probably going to be one of the most returned products ever. It looks amazing, but using it is really annoying.

I rock a c1 oled. Love it. Highly recommend others look into oled too. it does require some babying with regard to the burn-in. Not much. Just vary window sizes and positions. But the size should be noted. The deep desk requirement is overblown. You can use a regular desk and just treat the display as if it were a multi-monitor setup. If you must have your windows maximized all the time, a 48-in is probably not for you. For movies, it's great to sit back and watch. I haven't done too much full-screen gaming that requires mouse and keyboard, but it is easy enough to resize your desktop so it only uses part of the screen (not recommend for regular use as it will cause uneven wear across the screen). LG's 48in C1 oled is the best monitor i have ever owned by a lot. And if you can handle the few (but significant) downsides, oled is the way to go.

Do you mean to imply that the Gigabyte monitor uses the newer EVO panel? the later model C1's use EVO panel with the brightness limited in software. You can go into the service menu and change the product number to G1 to unlock the higher brightness (though LG may have already addressed this with a firmware update). I have the service remote for mine and verified that mine has the EVO panel but have not bothered to modify anything in there. I might disable the automatic brightness limiter, though. I don't care about power usage, I don't see how that would impact burn in (as burn in is most noticeable with differences in emissivity of adjacent pixels caused my unequal wear). Only thing I can imagine it causing problems with is an undersized and overloaded power supply.

I have been rocking the Gigabyte Aorus FV43U for a few months and have been very happy with it. It's not a perfect display, but it hits so many marks and I was able to snag it on sale at Newegg for $900 USD. It works great as a combo productivity/gaming display. I do web development and digital marketing on a MacBook Pro where it is an external display and have a gaming PC and Xbox Series X hooked up to it for gaming. The 43" size is the max I think is practical... I considered a LG C1, but felt the size cost and burn in risk for my use case was too high. Again I recommend to take a look at the Gigabyte Aorus FV43U as a large format monitor as I think it is the best value for money in that space!

EIZO says: in an office with normal brightness of 300-500 lux, the display brightness should be adjusted to around 100-150 cd / m2. Usually a gamer or a person watching a movie does it in even less lighted environments. So, set the brightness of your OLED to level 38 and forget about the burn in, otherwise buy an LCD.

Buy this then upgrade to the 240hz model that is going to arrive behind the c3 or 4 lg series.

@@SMGJohn by Andy Bassett Feb 5, 2020 LG Display has received official verification of the low blue light emissions of its OLED TV displays from leading global safety certification company, UL. The ‘Low Blue Light Display’ Verified Mark from UL (originally Underwriters Laboratories Inc) is granted to display products when their blue light emission meets the “risk exempt” standard (100W/sr/m2) set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). During testing, LG Display’s OLED TV panels were found to emit 50 percent lower blue light than the standard, or about 60 percent of blue light that the same-size premium LCD TV displays on the market are reported to emit. However, the verification raises a few questions. Last year LG Display were awarded ‘Eye Comfort’ certification for low blue light parameters in its OLED TV displays by TUV Rheinland, a similar inspection and certification outfit and it's not clear why LG Display has moved from TUV to UL in just 12 months. Dr. Chang-Ho Oh, Executive Vice President & Head of the TV Business Unit at LG Display was in charge of putting the company’s OLED panels though both certification programmes. It’s also not clear whether the UL validation is only relevant to the latest 2020 range of OLED panels or if it supersedes the TUV certification across all recent OLED ranges. It’s possible the UL badge is more well known as a mark of safety than TUV in the US market where several TV manufacturers plan to release OLED models for the first time. While the details of the testing and the rationale for the change in the testing partner remain unknown, the bottom line is that LG Display’s OLED panels have certifiably lower blue light emissions which will result in reduced eye fatigue and sleep disturbance for viewers. Given increasing awareness among consumers about the effects of overexposure to screens that emit too much blue light and the rise in ‘Dark Modes’ on devices such as mobile phones to help ease strain on the eyes, LG Display expects that the UL Verified Mark will further underscore the value of OLED TVs to consumers. Since 2020 will be a year that sees new LG Display clients such as Sharp, Vizio and Skyworth all releasing OLED TVs, the company will encourage its global OLED TV brands and distributors to use the Mark. Dr. Chang-Ho Oh said, “This UL Verified Mark makes it clear that LG Display’s OLED TV displays exceed the highest international standards with regard to eye safety. These OLED displays are already touted for their unmatched picture quality and design flexibility in the market, and now we expect that OLED’s recognized value in terms of eye health will further convince consumers to opt for OLED TVs down the road.” Mirko Bautz, Vice President of Global Accounts at UL, added, “UL empowers trust by helping demonstrate how a brand and its products are responsible and worthy of consumer confidence.” He went on, "As a globally recognized company with deep experience and expertise in the field of test evaluation, we are excited that our methods confirmed that LG Display is delivering on their claims.” With increasing numbers of OLED TVs predicted to be sold over the next three years (shipments are forecast to grow to 5.4 million units in 2020, increasing to 7.3 million units in 2021 and over 12 million units in 2023), what do AVForums readers think of having the ‘Low Blue Light Display’ badge for TVs?

the hdmi "2.1" tops out at 24gig, not 48? how does this qualify as 2.1 then.......i thought it was a "min performance STANDARD"? seems like its not truly 2.1 then dp1.4 is nice for those who havent beat the scalpers and bots to get a current gen gpu, but with the fake 2.1 hdmi ports (and only 2 instead of 4), its not going to be a real alternative to the c1 unless it was 60% of the price. but its the same price for less features? this "gaming" oled is only for a pc gamer who doesn't read text (lol wat) or do any kind of desktop productivity (so STRICTLY for games only), doesnt have a current gen GPU or ps5 or XsX, never watches tv, isnt concerned with oled burn in and has money itself to burn. i had the sony x900h and dealt with its fake 4k 120hz (its blurry, sony wont fix it), and now i have the lg c1 and the c1 is awesome. the x900h also has only two 2.1 hdmi (but they're 40gig, so the same as the c1) the sony had a "full array" for brightness, but really its a series of LARGE rectangles which are VERY visible, esp if you have a white mouse cursor on top of a grey background area. the c1 is amazing, all features exist and completely work out of the box, none of the "keep waiting" from sony to patch in VRR (which currently disables local dimming) or choosing between dolby vision and 4k 120hz (DV only works at 60hz on the x900h, with the lg c1 it always works) c1 is better than the others by a wide margin. its not even a choice. plus if you have the space and too much money, you can get up to a 83inch version. bonus: personally i like the screen dimming. when playing ghost of tsushima on the x900h, when enemies use their flashbangs the screen would get so bright and white it was literally blinding me and giving me a headache. the c1 dims down and prevents this. and its the same for using desktop apps like excel, its easy to look at and doesnt hurt at all when the auto dimming kicks in. also, you can turn it off if you dont like it. the x900h speakers suck, they're really tinny and hollow. the c1 speakers are quite nice, you dont need a sound system to go along with it.

I can not believe oleds burn in constant static elements. That's a monumental discovery.

The newer models do not have image retention. I've been using the CX for over a year as a PC monitor and no image retention at all.

5,200 hours so far on my B9 from 2019, first 4,000 were TV/Xbox use at max brightness (previous owner, I got it used) and since then dedicated PC monitor - zero panel issues I used to be afraid of burn in for years, and I do still believe OLED has a limited life span well below a standard LCD but the pixel refresher and built in safeties (even though I've turned most off with the service remote) are good enough that I would expect 5-10 years of heavy use before anything significant becomes apparent. Unless you specifically run it under a worst case scenario like an idiot (as shown in the RTINGS burn in tests)..

It's sad that the only people who say oled burn in within a short time frame is a problem is the people who don't own them. Linus gets a dinky panel and that shit burns in and all of a sudden oled is this flimsy panel that can't last at all for pc usage. Owned a c9 and now a cx combined for a year for using as a monitor. No burn it at all. Literally 90% of people who actually own these oleds are saying their panels are fine as well. Burn in can definitely happen and will happen , just not at this exaggerated rate Linus will think you would have. Use your head people.

I bought an LG Oled C1 48" for my gaming pc and loved it until the screen burn in started. then I bought another one... few weeks later same thing. I believe this 'monitor' would do the same thing if it has the same panel. I would really like a 48" 144hz QLED 'gaming' tv from Samsung! (currently using the 55" 120hz qled and no burn in for over a month right now)

I have seen multiple tests with hundreds of hours of use with no burn in, so either you were extremely unlucky to get 2 faulty panels in a row or you were leaving bright static images on the screens from the minute you took em out of the box!

refurbished C1's would be the better pick imo. Microcenter has em and Best Buy has em in store as well. A little more expensive around 700-800 but worth it over this imo

One other benefit for the Gigabyte that wasn't mentioned here is that (at least in the Australian market) the Gigabyte comes with a 3 year warranty, while the LG base warranty is only 1 year. I think that could be a pretty major factor for a lot of potential buyers who are considering that two products, especially considering that these days the Gigabyte is also a good $500 or so cheaper at advertised prices.

Remember OLED burn-in - it WILL happen in 2-3 years time with regular use.

Thanks for a great review as always. Was Cleartype disabled or just optimized using the wizard here? I just don't get how people mange to get so much burn in, have used my GX for over a year as a work monitor (90% of the time) with max brightness and "service menu hacks" and still don't have a hint of burn in (surprisingly enough).

Great review as always. Would like to ask, if you have any plans to review the AOC AG274QXM. It's DisplayHDR 1000 Certified at a price point of around 1100 Euros, which does make it very appealing in my opinion. I don't know how availability is in Australia, but I believe it should start appearing in Germany at the start of November. Thank you and have a great day!

If you want better 60hz you can at least do software bfi on any 120hz oled no crosstalk to worry about, more persistence blur but it's defiantly an improvement over sample and hold 60. gigabyte needs a swift kick in the head for screwing up 60hz hardware bfi.

Well on the bright side it doesn't blow up !!! LG has been making Oled tvs for awhile now so it's kinda dumb to challenge them even though LG doesn't specifically make gaming Oleds . Nice try gigabyte , someone had to try to go up against LG though. For all those out hoping for an Oled less than 48", dont hold your breath as the technology doesn't scale downwards all that well.

I dont want to tell you how to do your job but you should really be doing the input lag tests with the adaptive off and on. Also include 120hz for consoles and black frame insertion. Its a bit poor just giving results for adaptive sync. Like with the benq xl2411k, it doesnt have adaptive sync but you rate it as having a ridiculous low input lag not taking into consideration that all the other monitors reviewed have it on. Kinda silly
