If you are mounting your 48CX behind your desk, it creates plenty of desk space for a 4K 27" or 32" monitor on a desk arm for spreadsheeting if you're not happy with the text clarity or terrified of burn-in also. And you can simply move it out of the way when you're not using it.
It's actually going to be weird to have most of my desk clear!
Connected to this, has anyone researched best mounts that can provide most movement (in all directions). This is exactly how I plan to set up my cx once I get it. So I can adjust distance, height and tilt for whatever application I need.

playing horror games is going to be a real treat.
Oh, man. Have you had the chance to see or play a horror title on an OLED? It's unbelievable! I love horror games and playing them on anything else now would ruin the experience. And of course that's not to mention that every other game and movie looks simply incredible also, but horror games and dark movies really play to OLED's strengths.
Just a little reminder of what you can look forward to... I present to you the $1,800 38GL950G:

I got yelled at for posting my pic in the 38GL950G thread and asking them why pay so much for horrible IPS glow and backlight bleed, so I'll post it here where no one will get triggered.
This wall mount is one of the wider range of motion ones I've seen. There are also some heavy duty monitor arms that would work, but as mentioned above you will need a 100 x 100 -> 300 x 200 adapter set or plate of some kind.
The 55C9 is 41.7lbs without the stand, so I expect the 48" to be a bit under 40lbs, perhaps ~35.

I love the idea of those super high hz screens but are they really that much better than OLED? Have not seen more than 144Hz. Yeah it was clearer in motion but there were other issues that made it not as much of a difference as i'd hoped. It seems the faster they go the more they have issues with pixel transition and colour.The more I hear about these new LG TVs the more I like, especially the 4K BFI 120Hz capability (without frame interpolation) and the low input lag. These will be great gaming monitors too if you can live with the burn-in risk, it will probably be the best picture quality vs motion smoothness (& clarity) ratio out there. Sure it won't be beating TN panel 240Hz (or the upcoming 360Hz) in motion smoothness but hey it's a OLED though and 4K.
48" OLED, 4K, 120Hz, BFI/ULMB(?), industry leading low input lag for TV by the sound of it. Yummy! Just need the goddamn GPUs with HDMI 2.1. LG did well this time around, focusing on what people actually was looking for, I was positively suprised they just put the engineer in there and spoke the words we wanted to hear and not some good looking female that has just been thaught what to reiterate for all the people visiting.
Looks like an interesting option, popular. this option also seems popular.
However none of those allow for monitor to go up and down in height.
I got my C9 just before Black Friday and it was recommended to look at tv stands with mounts (like what you might have in an office or probably schools these days on wheels). With my current room configuration, a wall mount isn't possible. I LOVE this thing. My "monitor" sits about an inch away from the back of my 36" deep desk and the bottom of the tv is level with the desk. I really thought I'd want to be moving this thing around on an arm as well, depending on what I was working on but it really has been great in all situations.
I'm using a FITUEYES branded one but there are several on Amazon that look just about the same. i figure others out there might be like me and not want to give up their monitor arms (but go ahead and do it!).

There is still no word if Nvidia will put HDMI 2.1 on their next series GPUs. No word at all. Nothing.
I think it should be a low risk bet to assume it will have, why would otherwise Nvidia be so willing to cooperate with LG to bring out GSYNC HDMI 2.1 support and be certified GSYNC compatible etc. Those guys who were part of it won't just stand silently on the side just "hoping" the engineers will add it. I mean even the Nvidia reps at the show be like, "I know which will be my next TV/monitor"
I got my 65 C9 around the same time from BB and I use it as my living room set. We're selling the house by end of year and moving so I don't want to wall mount it yet. My ONLY complaint with this TV, and it's a small one, is how it sits so low on the stand. I understand why it was built this way, but I had originally planned on getting a soundbar but being as the TV is so low I'm thinking it would block the bottom of the screen. So now my mind has shifted to spending a shit ton more on an actual legitimate Atmos surround set up. Which my wife hates the idea of from a cost and loudness perspective.
Not to be a buzzkill but these OLED's are only acceptable as secondary displays used for a specific task at a time (play a game or watch a movie). I own a C9 and have attempted using it as my main monitor but am on the verge of going back to my PG27UQ because of just how annoying the babysitting is.
Black background, no icons, 2 min screen saver, TranslucentTB, AccentColorSwitcher, remove scrollbars in Chrome and use Dark Reader, etc, etc, etc. Also, the banding people have reported in PC mode since 2017 is still present and I guarantee will be present on the CX.
The PQ is amazing of course but for me just not worth the trade off and constant annoyance. Lastly 60hz (for now) blows and I don't think I could use this for another 6 months as is until HDMI 2.1 GPU's arrive.
IMO the biggest improvement when it comes to gaming is not really the contrast as it's hard to tell apart from my PG27UQ in most games with mixed lighting but the pixel response. @ 120hz it's significantly clearer in motion than my PG27UQ.
No this is some firmware specific thing. I can change the input to "Console" from PC and the banding is gone. HDR in PC mode is atrocious compared to any other mode.

Just get a compact 2 channel setup. Powered bookshelf have come a long way these days or a standalone amp.. It'll be much more WAF approved and smoke a crappy memebar in every way if you angle them correctly for listening position.

Yeah I agree. I had a 49" X900F as a monitor before and find 40-43" the limit in terms of size. My biggest beef with the X27/PG27UQ is that they never completely turn off FALD zones even in pitch black areas.
I would reconsider an OLED @ 40" but there are still annoyances that can't be overcome like the grey taskbar icon highlight over an active window that's still present even with a hidden and translucent taskbar. I just can't use this thing as a monitor, ASBL is pretty obvious when doing any work (programming or office stuff).

I use M-Audio powered monitors for my PC speakers - what do you recommend for a 2.1 setup that actually sounds really good? Anything with ARC input?
One of the 48" LGs is going in my arcade cabinet. Been looking for a suitable monitor replacement for a LONG time. It'll fit in there mounted vertically well, and I can run the games at 2160x1620 (4:3 aspect ratio).
The stand in general is a bit shit. The one on my Samsung was far easier to install and it takes less space in the back and sits higher. Samsung One Connect box is also way better for managing inputs.I got my 65 C9 around the same time from BB and I use it as my living room set.

M-Audio or similar are perfectly fine. Just get a sub that fits the room or DIY one.I use M-Audio powered monitors for my PC speakers - what do you recommend for a 2.1 setup that actually sounds really good? Anything with ARC input?
The latter.So when people say 120hz BFI, do they mean the panel runs at 120hz to give you BFI on 60fps games, or can the panel actually go up to 240hz to insert frames in 120fps signals?
It does a rolling scan at 120hz, with half of the rolling scan being a black frame.
