LG - 48" Class CX Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV

OLED TVs are worth the hype. This LG CX 48" I use as a PC monitor. 4K 120HZ 10bit-4:4:4 RGB FreeSync no problems at all. Everything looks amazing after dialing in a few settings. HDR looks amazing and it actually works, unlike the gimmicky PC monitor implementations people are used to. FYI you WILL need a HDMI 2.1 capable source to experience the highest quality passthrough! Highly recommend, worth the higher price. Will never go back to LCD.

This is my first ever OLED TV and I love it. I'm using it as a PC monitor at 100% scale, with an RTX 3080 FE to get the full 10bit 120Hz. Text are good. Picture quality is insanely beautiful. Watching a 4k HDR movie or playing a 4K HDR game is on another level, compare to my previous 27" IPS monitor. Now, onto the bad. In 2020/2021, LG still uses low-speed 100Mbit ethernet port and USB 2.0 ports. On an expensive TV like this and LG skimps on a few cents. Sure, the wifi is higher bandwidth, but I still get buffering (because of wifi interference with all the other wifi devices I have in my room). That's why I prefer to use ethernet when streaming media. I bought a USB 3.0-to-Ethernet adaptor on Amazon to solve this, but it still cannot uses the full 1Gbit speed of the adapter because of USB 2.0 ports. Way to go, LG. If you are getting this for a PC monitor, make sure to take the necessary precautions to reduce burn-in (black wallpaper, disable desktop icons and taskbar). Overall, I totally recommend this CX if you want the best gaming/movie experience (even with the cons I mentioned above).

This thing is a complete beast. I use it as a monitor for both gaming and work. The picture quality on this thing makes you feel like you're actually there when looking at it. I have mounted on my wall and it was very easy to do due to the weight of it not being heavy. Even though its really thin and, if you're like me, handle this thing with kiddie gloves cause of how much it costs, this thing is still durable. The build quality is great, and the screen is flawless, now keep in mind this is pre-claibration. I would highly recommend if you want to make the most of your next gen console or even your gaming pc, this thing is perfect for it.

This isn't a review for using it as a TV - this is a review for using it as a PC gaming display. I built a gaming PC and then purchased this in anticipation of using a RTX 3090 graphics card with it. My RTX 2070S FTW3 doesn't support HDMI 2.1, so I bought a Club3D CAC-1085 DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 4K120Hz HDR adapter to experience 4K120 HDR gameplay. I was blown away by the gameplay quality on the LG 48CX. There's no eye strain at close distances. Blacks are friggen black, and the colors are brilliant. I'll never go back to a non-OLED display for PC gaming. If you're considering a CX series OLED for PC gaming, hurry up and buy this model. I can't wait to purchase the 77CX for the theater room...for movies and PC gaming from the sofa. I've tested Dolby Vision using the built in Smart TV apps. Picture quality is epic. I'm happy to finally own a TV that can passthru and process Atmos, but I don't own a HDMI 2.1 theater receiver yet. I'm sure I can get TrueHD to my older receiver nonetheless, but this isn't for TV it's for gaming only. I will do further testing as a TV when I get the 77CX. I purchased a compatible wall mount to mount it on the wall next to my PC (also wall mounted using a VESA 400x200 mount). I'm moving the OLED and the desk it's on between the walls around the PC, as shown in the photos. I value the anti-glare coating on the display very much. I hope this review is of value to you, especially the gamers (=

A truly next gen tv! The picture is great with 4K UHD and also Dolby for some streaming platforms. Intuitive and robust settings, many options for all settings. Perfect for PS5/next gen console gaming with constant 4K/60fps performance. 120hz compatible but have not tested or experienced this. HDMI 2.1 on all ports is a plus. The LG sounds options were an unexpected plus as well. Great buy!

I did extensive research before pulling the trigger on an OLED tv. You see so much online about burn in burn in burn in... But in conclusion from my research it was all people who did not own an OLED that were hyping up burn in. Yes it is possible BUT you would have to intentionally neglect it to get it... Or just leave it on CNN or something with static banners 24/7 never switching up the content. Pros: - Perfect Blacks - 0 Uniformity Issues - 4K/HDR/Dolby Vision - 120hz with VRR/ Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync - Newest HDMI tech to support Next Gen Consoles - Fast Response Time - GREAT out of the box picture - Anti Burn In Tech (Pixel Shift, Screensaver, etc.) Cons: - Burn in? ( If you are VERY careless) - Hours in use count a lot more with these as over time pixels will lose brightness but that will be MANY MANY years down the road. My main reason for getting this TV was to play my next gen consoles on it. I wanted it for its 120hz ability, HDR, Dolby Vision, VRR... All of the goods! And OF COURSE the perfect blacks! There is 0 uniformity issues, no backlight bleed since the pixels are all self lit, black is black and not a halo gray. Really good response time for a TV as well! Of course movies look GREAT as well! There is really nothing this TV can't do! You could even use it for a PC monitor just be mindful to turn off your task bar, desktop icons and have a animated wallpaper or black wallpaper.

Bought this TV to be used as a computer monitor. Could not be happier! OLED with the 120hz G-Sync it’s just like having a computer screen!

This would be an easy five-star rating based on the television picture quality alone, yet I experienced a dead pixel in my unit a mere 10 days after purchase. I used the television a total of 64 hours. I used it for gaming and general viewing. Very frustrating for such an expensive television, yet still understandable to a degree, given the complicated technology powering the television. Definitely get a full, five-year protection program to safeguard against these types of common issues with oled. You’ll get a new panel or your existing panel fixed, at least. The protection program through Geek Squad isn’t necessarily cheap, yet it certainly justifies so much money being spent on a high-quality panel that is susceptible to issues.
