Yeah, I also randomly found a 3090 in stock at Best Buy at MSRP soon after it launched and casually checked out! Now they are never in stock even if you use alerts. At the time I thought the price was insane over the 3080 but now it's the best purchase I made in the last 1.5 years.
This is what it looks like right out of the case (from Linus tech tips review of it):

If you can live without a monitor then wait for the 42" model.Quick question:
My Dell 3011 just died. So I have 3 choices:
1. 48c1,
2. something else,
3. wait for the 42c2.
Any advice would be welcome
Since you seem to need a monitor now, I would look at the 48" C1. The fascination with the 42" is mostly, I feel, due to people having smaller desks.Quick question:

Pending reviews. At this point, we know what we're getting from LG. But if Samsung offers the same/better at a competitive price and there aren't any of the SW pains that LG went through, then I would consider them I perfectly viable alternative.
What do you run your OLED light level at? And do you move your windows around periodically or leave them in the same position all day when WFH?
I am interested in the QD-OLED tech, but you just reminded me of why I like my LG CX so much more than my Samsung Q90R. The Q90R has a more natural picture to it, which I really like, but I HATE the post-launch support. There are still many unresolved software bugs and at least one feature (eARC) which was promised but never delivered. Compare that to the LG CX, which has gotten amazing post-purchase support with continual improvements and feature adds, and it's no contest; if my LG CX quit working after the warranty expired, I'd probably buy the newest model of the same product only because I know LG is committed to their products.
you’re very very late to the party…
The PA32UCG does support Dolby Vision input over HDMI.
Have never owned an LG TV. I will say I’m a little disappointed that of all manufacturers, Samsung is making the next oled panel. Every Samsung I’ve ever owned, from my plasma TV to my VA monitors have some *thing* that’s wrong. They just don’t seem to be built very well. Either there’s a dumb oversight to the display that makes it retarded (VA gaming panel that doesn’t allow brightness adjustments to be made in ULMB mode), or there’s an obvious corner cut on the build quality.
Most of the damage on my B6 was one early, when I was running the OLED backlight at 100, now at 30. But there is definitely wear due to WFH, and other apps (the chrome top-bar especially) have done a fair bit of damage after nearly six years of constant use.
Yep, my B6 saw a new firmware just a few months ago. Say what you will, LG has done a good job supporting their TVs and fixing problems as they come up.
Do remember the B6 was an *early* OLED, before a lot of the enhancements to fight this type of damage were fully implemented. I'm *very* careful to specify that when talking about the wear I've experienced. But it is worth noting that long-term persistent placement of "stuff" has caused long term issues over a 6+ year timespan.
Ah thanks, that helps put things into perspective. Regarding the WFH wear, I can't imagine the Chrome top bar or any other element doing damage unless left in a static position for, well, really long periods of time. Like hour after hour and day after day. That kind of constant static "abuse" is what it takes for OLED TVs in airports and electronics showrooms to show noticeable and permanent burn-in. So I was just kinda curious about how you tend to use yours when working.
Haha, I've seen you talk about this 25% reserved buffer before, but IMO that candle analogy really does a great job of helping people understand how it works. That's probably the simplest explanation I've seen yet, so thanks.
And I think that's reasonable. Few who have kept up with this technology should be surprised that the early 6 series panel that was more susceptible to burn-in, combined with the 100 OLED backlight level, combined with long-term persistent placement of stuff resulted in noticeable wear. Had any one of those factors been different from the get-go, your panel likely would have fared a lot better. Lessons learned and all that. Still, 6 years with much of that being worst-case usage isn't terrible and like I said earlier (and you surely know by now), your next one should do a lot better even if you change -nothing- about how you use your applications and you start off with a lower OLED backlight level on the more refined/robust panel tech that they're using today.
Oh, I agree. And I try to share my experiences with everyone so they avoid making mistakes down the road.
I'm at 6088 hours of powered on time now, zero burnin.
My 55C7 was perfect (no burnin) until 8000 hour mark or so (at 100 OLED and contrast). By 14,000 hours when I replaced it with 48C1 it was noticeably less bright in the center. The red went first, then green, then blue. The white went last.
I'd caution against this, but to each his own.
Is there a way to check? Would be interesting to see what I'm at.
