Not sure, I bought the 48cx back when there wasn't such a thing as an oled monitor so they still consider it a tv. It was $350 or something like that, but totally worth it for 2 panel replacements and getting my original purchase price back eventually as I have zero confidence that this new...

Turns out there is enough warranty to replace the panel again instead of giving me a gift card for the $1500 I paid for it new. LG doesn't update their part numbers so I won't know what panel it is until it arrives. I'm curious if it will be the c3 evo panel as that would be a nice jump in...

Looked up the dates and I bought the CX48 in 2020, in a year and a half time using it as a monitor (some games, but mostly work) I had probably 30 dead pixels along the outside edge. They replaced the panel in June of 2022 and it ended up being a C1 panel vs CX so a year newer. Now fast...

Thought I'd update my prior post here. Best Buy replaced my oled 48" panel on my 48cx about 1.5 years ago I think. Now have several dead pixels as well as a pretty obvious burn in line down the center of the screen (use two windows split left and right mostly). Worst are two columns of...

Thought I would post that my cx48pub that I bought oct. 1st 2020 just got the panel replaced through Geek Squad protection as I started getting dead pixels on the edges of the screen, was up to almost 25 of them scattered on the extreme edges. Panel was replaced with a C1 panel instead of the...

I placed an order through provantage the day they launched. Finally both called and emailed customer service to get an estimated ship date... March 2021, no thanks. Hero viii for $360 in stock at best buy it is then lol. Throwing an ek monoblock on it anyways for my 5900x so I doubt there...

I saw a yellow button and instantly by the time I clicked add to cart it was out of stock. Why even bother anymore...

Hehe, you beat me by a second, my thoughts exactly. Are there any upfront reasons why freesync might be worse than gsync?

After watching the AMD 6900xt launch and currently using twin 1080ti's on this monitor I'm leaning that way vs. the $500 more 3090. Any concerns I should have about going freesync with the cx48 vs gsync with it?

I ended up returning mine. Had a couple dead pixels which ended up being a blessing as the narrow wide curve just wasn't for me after using a 40" 4k monitor for so long

for what it's worth, I have the G9 now that all the new stock of it have been fixed and I love it! need a 30 series card to unlock DSC in order to have 240hz, but even at 120hz on my dual 1080ti's its super nice. I never realized how much of impact input lag and my previous slow screen had on...

If you can go with the odyssey do it! I'm thoroughly impressed by it and it seems like most people's units are coming in clear now without issues. Got mine through B&H a week or two ago and it's a july build date with zero issues whatsoever. I think Amazon has it priced down to 1350 or...

Maybe its all a grand conspiracy to have people purposely miss out on the 3080s so they instead go screw it I still want a card and pony up for the 3090? I wanted 3090 from the start but being that I will be water-cooling it and for the first time in a long time only buying one card I want a...

Will the 3080 be fast enough to run anything at 4k 120hz? or is it looking like the only way to hit those numbers reliably will be the 3090? I currently have 2x 1080ti's that are water cooled and will definitely be purchasing a 30 series card and water cooling it, but not sure which one. I've...

It makes sense for the panel that it is. It seems like they developed this generation of va panels to be able to be as fast as possible while knowing that the viewing angles would be terrible. The curve allows the viewing angles to function in spite of the deficits of the panel. I do worry...
