OLED TVs are worth the hype. This LG CX 48" I use as a PC monitor. 4K 120HZ 10bit-4:4:4 RGB FreeSync no problems at all. Everything looks amazing after dialing in a few settings. HDR looks amazing and it actually works, unlike the gimmicky PC monitor implementations people are used to. FYI you WILL need a HDMI 2.1 capable source to experience the highest quality passthrough! Highly recommend, worth the higher price. Will never go back to LCD.

This is my first ever OLED TV and I love it. I'm using it as a PC monitor at 100% scale, with an RTX 3080 FE to get the full 10bit 120Hz. Text are good. Picture quality is insanely beautiful. Watching a 4k HDR movie or playing a 4K HDR game is on another level, compare to my previous 27" IPS monitor. Now, onto the bad. In 2020/2021, LG still uses low-speed 100Mbit ethernet port and USB 2.0 ports. On an expensive TV like this and LG skimps on a few cents. Sure, the wifi is higher bandwidth, but I still get buffering (because of wifi interference with all the other wifi devices I have in my room). That's why I prefer to use ethernet when streaming media. I bought a USB 3.0-to-Ethernet adaptor on Amazon to solve this, but it still cannot uses the full 1Gbit speed of the adapter because of USB 2.0 ports. Way to go, LG. If you are getting this for a PC monitor, make sure to take the necessary precautions to reduce burn-in (black wallpaper, disable desktop icons and taskbar). Overall, I totally recommend this CX if you want the best gaming/movie experience (even with the cons I mentioned above).

This thing is a complete beast. I use it as a monitor for both gaming and work. The picture quality on this thing makes you feel like you're actually there when looking at it. I have mounted on my wall and it was very easy to do due to the weight of it not being heavy. Even though its really thin and, if you're like me, handle this thing with kiddie gloves cause of how much it costs, this thing is still durable. The build quality is great, and the screen is flawless, now keep in mind this is pre-claibration. I would highly recommend if you want to make the most of your next gen console or even your gaming pc, this thing is perfect for it.
