LG 48CX

There should be no reason why it could not but we won't know for sure until HDMI 2.1 GPUs are out.

From Monstieur's findings on how the TV behaves when paired with the Club3D adapter, it doesn't seem like it will. The GPU is still sending out a 10bit RGB signal but it's the TV itself that is subsampling that signal down to 4:2:2 for whatever reason. Maybe it won't subsample when connected to a native HDMI 2.1 source sure, but that seems unlikely. Either way I'm positive this is something that can be fixed with a firmware update though and LG has been ok when it comes to that.
 
I don't know why you only get 422 with your C9 input set to Game Console. I am running input set to Game console on my E9 and I get 444 12bit Full RGB 4k 120hz. And yes , I did the 444 / 422 test image above.
The 4:4:4 / 4:2:2 image is flawed. The TV downsamples to 4:2:2 but not with the same matrix as the GPU. It also adds some processing to the image which recovers some of the details. It's not 4:4:4, but looks better than 4:2:2. The best test is still the RTings chroma-444.png.

What's the best way to watch HDR from pc? Was using MPC+madVR but HDR passthrough doesn't work with latest Nvidia driver, using an older driver isn't practical since I'm playing death stranding and pre-ordered HZD

http://bugs.madshi.net/view.php?id=647

Would just copy films to my 8tb external drive and use the tv's player but enough have DTS that it's a pain
I did some research about a month ago and found a few suggestions to use CnX Media Player from the windows store. I have not tried it yet, though.

Yea i used the chrome-444 from RTings test. Im pretty sure i have 444.

Can confirm the same happens on my B6; any RGB mode is being downsampled to 4:2:2, but certainly *looks* better then actually using 4:2:2. 4:4:4 works as expected.
 
How does this help the C9?

C9 is capable of running at 4K 120 Hz 12-bit color vs 10-bit on the CX. But the panels on both are 10-bit so all it does is help internal processing quality and probably amounts to no visible difference.

The Club3D adapter does seem to reveal that there might be some issues with the CX series firmware right now handling both full RGB and high refresh rates since it wants to output 4:2:2 instead. We will only see for sure when the first HDMI 2.1 GPUs are tested.
 
This is maybe the pixel shift bug. It will turn back on even if in the UI it says it is off. Just toggle pixel shift on and back off and it should be solved. This mainly seems to affect 4K 120 Hz.

So I finally figured the issue I was having. Now my text looks much better as well. In essence, I had to change the HDMI signal to PC. LG has a really user unfriendly way of doing this:

Click on input source there is an option to go to "home dashboard".
Once there in the upper right corner, there is a settings icon, and when you click on that you will able to select "edit".
Click on edit, it will bring you to a new screen that will list all of your HDMI inputs. The trick is to click on the icon next to HDMI and then you will be presented with all sorts of icons and if you scroll down there is a PC icon you can select.

This improved my text clarity to a noticeable degree. These instruction is probably redundant to most people on this forum, but I figured I would post it in case there is anyone else like me who was not aware of this.
 
What a delightful silence... Everything about the Club3D adapter has been said already? ;)
 
TL; DR; For some reason, I find that that a good IPS LCD is just nicer to the eyes in the long run, even when running at higher brightness etc. but would be nice to hear the opinions on others how might now have started to use a OLED monitor as a daily driver for work etc and not just entertainment.

So, I am curious, now that more people have had a chance to get an OLED as the main desktop monitor, how are you finding it in general? I am mostly interested in non entertainment aspects, like using it for work all day long etc? Have been using OLEDs back and forth as main monitors for a few years now and while I don't hesitate to select OLED for anything entertainment related, I am still on the fence regarding using it for productivity. For some reason, I never seem to be able to adjust the image so that find it comfortable for long term use, but I have never really been able to figure out why, even after a lot of trial and error with settings both in Windows and on the screen itself.

Main problem is that I find that text just is never as good as on a good IPS monitor, but not really sure why this is. It might be just the sheer size difference but even when I have tried to increase the viewing distance to even that out, I still feel that the LCD has a slight edge here. Could also be due to the OLEDs pixel structure which isn't really ideal for use as a computer monitor (even after having made changes to Windows font rendering).

I can add that what I am mainly comparing with is an Acer X27 (27" 4K) which I run with no scaling or very little scaling (100% or 125%) so of course its not the best comparison. Also, I am pretty certain that I am running the OLED in best possible way for use as a PC monitor, ie that it isn't due to bad settings etc (chroma subsampling etc) but a bit more unsure if there are other aspects of the image quality that could affect on a more subliminal level, like lowering contrast, changing color mix etc.

Used to be that few were crazy enough to even try using a 55" or larger screen as their main monitor on the desk but with the introduction of the 48", this has probably changes so would welcome the opinions of other that are not using the OLEDs for entertainment (or at least using it for normal office work). Thanks.

Not much to say beyond what the first EU, then west and east coast users found. An overheating, meh handshaking, C9/CX firmware shortcoming exposing POS. Not worth the price of the box it ships in.

I'm using it as my daily driver (SW dev, presentations, spreadsheets, etc). Love it. Yes a good IPS is better text wise, but I find this plenty (OSX). And can't beat a big screen at 4k. So much real estate and couldn't be happier. Run 4k@60. The nice thing I can keep one screen on my desk for both work and gaming. Also comparing to a smaller screen, the smaller one will always win in the crispness department.

I run the OLED brightness at 35.

Thanks. What size do you have, 48"? Not sure if OSX perhaps can handle the pixel structure of the OLED better than Windows?

BTW, the screen real estate of a 4K screen is the same regardless of the size, the ability to see it might be different though :)

I've been working from home now for several months, and for about half of that time, I've had my CX 55. It's been serving dual-duty, both as my primary screen for my PC and game consoles, but also as my secondary screen for my work laptop. I'm a DBA for work, and I find the OLED screen just fine for doing work (125% display scaling). I also haven't found an issue with reading text on it, but I'm not a massive clear text aficionado either. For writing SQL scripts and researching, I love the giant screen so much more than my dual-monitor setup I had previously. My only gripe is the brightness changing from time to time, but I have a lot of mitigation tech enabled to try and prevent burn-in, so I'm ok with it. You get used to it after a while.

Of course, it is a different experience for everyone, and the ASUS X27 is one of the best monitors out there, full stop. If you're looking for a consistent, clear monitor for work, a large, high-res IPS display is tough to beat.

Right, I find a 27" 4k monitor to be too small and then I have to scale. So 4k with a big monitor I find works best. More real estate I can actually use.
Besides my 48" cx, I have a 27" Apple monitor and a 34" LG IPS (don't use any of those anymore after I got the 48). I wall mounted the 48 so I get a proper distance to it and it is glorious. I have my laptop on the side where I keep the most static screen (outlook). Haven't tried windows as I'm going to wait a bit building my rig and sold the other one.

Thanks.

Everything is about compromises. I ran an X27 as a daily driver for over a year and its desktop/web use is unparalleled. But lacked any real immersion for gaming. Personally I think a 32" 4K 120+ Hz monitor is the "Sweet spot" for all around desktop/web/gaming use, but those don't exist yet. (and the ones coming out in the next year are $3,600). I am more into flight and space simulators now, so the 48CX's size helps a lot for immersion.

I've been using my OLED laptop while standing more and more as the 1440p resolution at 15.6" is super crisp for desktop/web use and to break the bad "sitting down too much" cycle.
 
I ordered the 48" yesterday from Best Buy with arrival expected on 08/17/20. I'll take some pics when I get it setup.

That's a long wait, but honestly I don't mind as it will just get me closer to buying it with Ampere provided I can secure a 3080 or 3080 ti (depending on price, September is the rumored launch date).

There was someone in this thread that posted a icc profile after calibrating, I used his ICC profile and it cleared up text a lot for me to the point I can live with it.
I've attached the file that gentleman had linked here.

Thanks. 125% scaling on a 55", how far from it are you sitting? :) One thing though is that I know I have seen from other monitors that scaling actually seem to improve text quality in some cases, not really sure why. But of course you loose screen real estate as well then. I admit to being quite demanding when it comes to my screens, especially with text. I guess its the constant struggle to achieve perfection that is the reason for it :)

Yes, ABL is a bit of a problem as well, especially for someone like me who likes a bit of "pop" as well (even when doing coding and such).
 
Damn it mine was to be delivered today and you know they would come like 5 hours before they ever do and I wasn’t home. Now I have to wait till Wednesday, damn UPS.

I agree on the strange lack of 32-35" IPS LCD screens (at least if you want something that is suitable for gaming as well). The Acer X32 is supposed to be released sometimes soon, but who knows when that is and the price is well...steep. The current Widescreens all have to low vertical resolution to be useful as work monitors where I like to stack windows (personal opinion of course).

For some strange reason I am actually able to run my 27" X27 with no scaling except being a bit north of 40 these days, even though I of course have it close than I would with a 55". If not, I guess there would only be a choice between a smaller screen with scaling or a larger one with no scaling but perhaps lower text quality. On a side node, for anyone that has not used the X27 (nor the Asus version with the same panel) it is a really good IPS with a few hundred local dimming zones, so its much better than your average office monitor. Have tried a lot of monitors but don't think I have ever seen a better LCD.

Thanks, will try that. Do you know what the main changes were?

I guess "to the point where I can live with it" means that there is still room for improvement (in general, probably not to the profile used).

One thing I have found when comparing directly between my 55" GX and the X27 is that the colors seem surprisingly muted on the OLED which to makes text a bit less readable (especially when using some kind of dark themes). I actually have found that the Vivid mode works the best for me (as a work monitor that is, no TV watching etc on this screen besides a few YT videos here and then). Of course the idea of using an OLED in Vivid mode 8-10 hours a day with static content isn't to reassuring...

I'm on game mode for picture and hdmi 1 set to PC
150% scaling works great for me sitting 3 feet from the screen.
BFI is set on auto

and yes, i think its mostly the gloss that somewhat blurs/magnifies the text a bit where as a matte IPS screen, text will be of course a lot sharper.

I guess a 27" 4K with no scaling is out of the question then :)

Funnily, it used to be the way around, that matte screens had coatings that used to drive at least me nuts as I always felt the screen was dirty. But these days that seem to have improved a lot. My laptop screen is a glossy LCD though and haven't really noticed any problems with that, although I usually does not sit in front of it for long if I have options.

Does BFI make any difference in this regard, ie with very few moving objects?
 
It just occurred to me that OLED pixel response + brightness + 120hz BFI would be the greatest 3dVision display of all time... I hunted down my emitter and glasses and figured out the current way to install 3dVision on newer Nvidia drivers and got a game to launch but had sync/ghosting issues... I'll fiddle with it a bit more tomorrow and see if it's something that can be fixed or not.

Hiya, how did your fiddling go, any success getting 3D Vision to work with 120hz BFI?

I was using a X27 before getting the CX48. After the honeymoon phase of the CX48 was over, I honestly can't wait for a bigger version of the X27. There are certain annoyance with the CX48 or OLED in general that I rather not deal with. Things like the ABL, Screen shift, the whole everything has to be dark mode and baby sitting the panel. Yes, the image quality is amazing on CX48 but the X27 was no slouch either.

I feel you! Acer X27 owner here myself. I will still hold onto it because as a desktop monitor, the image quality of 4k at 27" is so damn crisp. I do not need a large amount of screen real estate since at most I'll have just chrome and discord open and don't do any actual work on my pc. Lol so funny how most of us went from an X27 to the CX48.
 
I just tried 100% scaling on my X27 and found it unusable unless I'm uncomfortably close to the screen. At that point the 27" is taking up as much of my FOV as the 48".

My vision is pretty good so maybe it's something you just have to get use to but it feels like straining to take a s*** just reading text.

Yeah I would say at 48" 100 or 125% scaling is the optimum depending on preference and viewing distance, at 27" you probably want 150 or 175% or something. 32" maybe 125 or 150%?

It's definitely stretching it and that why I, and others it seem, would like something like a 32-35" version of the X27. On the other hand, if a 27" can give you same screen real estate and FOV at a closer distance than a as a 48"/55" at larger distance, maybe that space could be used for something better instead unlike you like to practice boxing when working or something similar :) I believe that people (including me) are just to stuck on what we have always had, which is basically desks designed a few hundred years ago that we have now converted into workstations for computer use.

Now, this is kind of what I have in mind but perhaps the tech isn't ready just yet...or coffee mugs :D

 
Yeah I would say at 48" 100 or 125% scaling is the optimum depending on preference and viewing distance, at 27" you probably want 150 or 175% or something. 32" maybe 125 or 150%?

Pretty much what I have...CX48 with 100% scaling and on the X27 I had it on 125 to 150% scaling or else everything is too small.

For desktop work I have the CX48 about 36" inches away from me and so far with 100% scaling it is no too bad at all. It is like having 4 small monitors together. I'm still trying to find an arm mount to support the CX48, so far there's none without paying over 500 bucks. But the more I use it, the more I don't get the benefit of having it farther away from you......cause I don't see any pixels and wouldn't it being farther from you shrink the POV?
 
Hello People! Quick question regarding the new CX models.

I assume there are no differences between the 77, 65, 55, 48 inch models other then the size? Been eyeing the 77inch the last couple of weeks. Love to have a very nice home theater PC area!
 
So random question ? How are the speakers on the 48CX? Look's like I won't have room for my trusty klipsch promedia 2.1's I have had for years. Unless I build a custom stand for my computer. Or I can just use my head phones more often. Since my son games next to me I have been using them more and more lol.

They...work. That's about all I can say on the the speakers. Audio isn't really a big focus on this TV anyway. I gotta say though, the image quality going from my B7 to CX was quite the leap. The new processor and all it's new features really helped to deliver an even better picture over the B7. I'm especially noticing huge improvements in bitrate starved 720p content.
 
Hey guys, Just picked up a CX48 (SALE!), Waiting on Big Navi. Just using it as a TV first new Zen 3 build coming Nov, Thinking of going a midstation build with wireless mouse and wireless keyboard 3-4 feet away. Is the Club3D 10k Hdmi 2.1 the best to get?

How do i do the 5% greyscale to check for issues, everything else looks so good but im just curious if there are imperfections.
 
Were people able to properly use a DP1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adaptor to play games @ 4K 120 444 on their CX?

And there is no g-sync with that adaptor correct?

Or is there still many issues with it?
