G4 and M4 and up only, unfortunately, which don't come in 42".
Nice to see that the C4 has a heatsink+144hz. I thought it was stuck at 120 with nothing to combat burn in. Going in the right direction.
I wish they wouldn't have such differences on different sizes even within a product line, or not offer features at the sizes desired. Restricting the newer panels to G4 and above, yet not offering them in 48" much less 42" is frustrating. This, combined with the aforementioned brightness limitations in game mode and other "subtle" but potentially important features having issues is disappointing, taking a bit of the shine off what is otherwise an excellent product. When LG's OLEDs were some of the only ones out there for proper use as PC monitor for gaming and all around use, as they were a few years ago, it was easier to overlook. However, with thankfully increasing options on the market, LG cannot afford to rest on their laurels, overprice, or make decisions that undermine the experience without causing some users to reconsider.
That may be true, but they need something for next's year models. Many people still holding onto their CX's and C1's due to lack of technological advancements.

If that was discussion year ago and about 8K VA LCDs I would told you it is extremely unlikely Samsung will make TV with 4K at 240Hz and yet it did happen with QN900D.
The (un)fun thing about rolling strobing is that all you need to do is to blank lines after specific time e.g. 1ms after they were drawn.
This is no longer accurate. This 42" 16:9 240hz panel was going to manufactured by LG but TFT central put out an updated roadmap video saying that all information about it was that it has since been cancelled.
Just did the same! 42C4 is amazing and I just did some CS2 and the 144hz is flawless on my 3070!!
Why do you need 200Hz?
Nobody needs more than 30hz.

RGB OLED though - should be exactly what I expected. Wonder when we will start seeing it in some useful products - like gaming monitors
Do you expect someone who has a budget i3 to understand what high refresh gaming feels like?
It’s a good thing LG Display hits a dead-end with W-OLED and plan to retire it for IJP RGB-OLED either next year or 2026.
Not at 4k yet, but I had to order this 240hz 45" LG OLED UW since my monitor just died and I needed a replacement now.
While I don't appreciate the insult, I stand by that it's a silly question
You'll lose OLED Motion Pro on anything newer than a C1, which is why I sought out that older display. Otherwise, you get that smaller size and I think generally some improvements. I know The Display Guy is quite fond of the C4. And used it as his personal monitor for a bit if I recall.
Well, I guess now we know the G5 will be premiering this tech. I think I heard removing MLA also helps the black floor.I agree 2025 might be exciting for LG OLEDs if this article is anything to go by: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/1023...es-with-165hz-4-stack-woled-panels/index.html
I am particularly interested in the following as LG could be potentially skipping MLA altogether for the C series and just going straight to this 4-stack solution to improve the brightness? Seems like MLA was just a stop gap while this was being worked on.

Obviously I do not expect the C series to hit anywhere near 3700 nits. Those brightness figures have always been quoted with silly settings such as 11,000k whitepoint and a 1% window size. They claimed the G4's panel is capable of 3000 nits but in reality it only did half of that at 1500 nits when measured at D65 whitepoint using a 10% window size. So if the G5 is rated for 3700 nits then I would expect 1800 nits (at D65 whitepoint and a 10% window size) at best which leaves the C series room to hit 1200-1300 nits without cannibalizing the sales of the G series. That brightness bump combined with 165Hz would make for a nice upgrade over my CX which is really getting long in the tooth now. Of course though with LG being LG it is possible they might give the C5 zero upgrades over the C4 and reserve all this new tech exclusively for the G series.
