Clearly this is a TV, it has smart TV stuff built in, a tuner and all the usual TV features – but that's not the focus of this review.
We are exclusively evaluating the LG C2 as an option for gamers as a desktop monitor replacement. However, if you're reading this review several months after release, there's a good chance the C2 will be much cheaper, as LG often offers aggressive discounts later in the product lifecycle which we always love to see.īefore diving headfirst into this review, an important note. The LG is primarily designed as a TV with full smart functionality, however it also includes important gaming features like variable refresh rate support and a low input lag mode.Īll of this is available for ~$1,300, which last year was relatively affordable compared to other HDR gaming options, but these days is more around the pack thanks to new releases in that sub $1,500 price range. It's still using LG's OLED technology, and arrives with a 4K resolution at up to 120Hz, which these days is rather modest for a 4K gaming display. In our lab for testing is the 42-inch variant of the LG C2, the smallest model you can get and a new size option for this year. Since that review was published, a lot has changed in the monitor market, we now have an OLED that's actually designed for gaming in the Alienware AW3423DW, the prices of mini-LED true HDR LCDs are also coming down, so it'll be interesting to see whether going the TV route is still viable for today's PC gaming setups. Today we're checking out the LG C2 OLED TV to see how good it is as a PC gaming monitor, a sequel of sorts to our investigation of the LG C1 last year.
