144hz on PC at 43 inches, finally
If you're a power PC/MAC user.. this is the TV you want as your high refresh rate monitor. I've been waiting over a year for the 42 OLED from LG but tried this first and will be keeping it. OLED is dark and kind of delicate. The additional features this TV has too have grabbed onto me. (read about them not gonna detail the software) As a software engineer, I'm critical of the clarity of the screen and this TV performs. It's bright, it's fast and it's clear. Make sure and go to settings, external devices and change the HDMI port to the plus version and you'll get the promised refresh rate, and then some, assuming your PC supports it. I have 3 computers hooked up to this, 2021 MacBook Pro (primary, max 60hz), Dell Latitude 5520 (corp lappy, 120hz), and my desktop PC RTX 3090 (gaming, 144hz). Using the Logitech MX mouse and keyboard this setup is now my dream. @fit.kore

Keeper!
This is the 42"/ 43" monitor sweet spot! All the colors, brightness and really good, not perfect blacks and contrast. Very good reflection handling too. No burn-in risk, in gaming it goes up to 144hz over HDMI, the game bar is a nice touch for quick adjustments and it doubles as a very good tv. SDR... the software is pretty good at upscaling, SDR is just tough to manage. HDR... you need several things to pull off crispy HDR: a 10bit panel - Check, a true 120hz panel - Check, good motion handling - mostly Check (pic clarity has to be enabled), brightness - Check, if not OLED VA tons of zones and a good local dimming algorythm - Check. IPS just doesn't have the native contrast ratio and OLED has it's own issues, tho minor. The biggest one being brightness, but it can't get mini led bright, because it'll burn in much faster. Gaming... the refresh rate is more than good enough at 144hz. The response time is good not perfect. No real visual issues that I saw, meaning I didn't see haloing or much blur at all, no banding, no tearing. It doesn't have freesync or Nvidia G-Sync Ultimate, but that just means it wasn't tested, but it works perfectly. It does sacrifice a little quality for performance, but every monitor/ tv does. It's just a prioritization for gaming to get all the frames you can. What I've tried... I started with a 1440p 27" Dell S2721DGF which I've had for a year, and it was pretty good, no issues and worked great for gaming having 165hz refresh rate, but I wanted a larger monitor. Then recently I tried the Lg GQ950B, but it was too gray for my liking, IPS panel, 8bit+FRC banding, posterization and seemed hazy. It just wasn't good for 4k content. It wasn't bad for gaming, but that's just speaking to the image quality. it didn't have any issues at all. Built like a tank too. After that I tried the FV43U on for size, literally. I actually tried my Samsung 55" q90t just to see if it would fit on the desk, but it was way too big for a monitor, so then I tried the FV43U. The FV43U was terrible! I posted a review about it ("Disappointed") her on BB. It was just bad. OLED and Thoughts...I almost bought the Lg C2, but like I said it has issues, especially as a monitor. For productivity it has ABL issues where the white web pages dim to fend off burn-in, the sub pixel layer makes it not perfect for text, it doesn't have nearly the brightness overall as mini led, it's very glossy (glossy gives a more 3D like image vs Matte so the Samsung is a little flat in comparison, but not terribly so), you can lose detail in the dark scenes and of course it can possibly burn-in, but gaming looks great on it's own, but burn-in risks. I didn't want to risk it and I found this QN90B to be the sweet spot overall. It has none of the negatives above and the only real negatives are, not perfect blacks, but they are really good. The anti reflective screen does it's job very well, but it's not as 3D-like as the OLED. Lastly, blooming. It's not bad at all and they've done much better over the years, much better than my q90t. BUT, zero burn-in risk. 43" seems to suit my desk very well and I didn't know how small the 27" was till I got to this point. No going back now. I can't wait till these get better and more monitor like with KVM, Displayport, higher refresh rate and all of the TV qualities (this one has speakers of course, and they are much better than the normal tiny monitor speakers, just missing a little bass), but until then, this is a very good placeholder! Highly recommend!
