LG C9 55inch

[Kylewilki92]

Hello 

 

i have asus GeForce rtx 2080 ti and just playing on a old Panasonic lcd tv would it be worth upgrading too a LG C9 OLEd 55inch tv with a belkin in hdmi 2.1 cable?? 

 

Any thoughts on this. ???

There are no GPUs that support HDMI 2.1, so you won't be getting 4k 120 Hz, but you can get 1440p @ 120 Hz.

 

Otherwise, I have a C9, love it, can recommend it.

Just get a proper quality HDMI cable and connect it. It's plug and play yes, just set the resolution in Nvidia Control Panel, HDR in Windows 10 settings and you're good to go.

They are all the same.

Yes.

 

I have a B9 and it is much better than any monitor I have owned.

 

I have 2 rigs with 2080 tis. One used a 32" 16:9 4k monitor and one with a 38" 21:9 3840 X 1600 monitor. 

The ultra wide was my main gaming rig and the 4k rig only played my old modded games and some console ports that did not like 21:9.

Now I mainly play on the OLED and here are the reasons why.

 

Perfect G-sync compatibility. I have a monitor with a G-sync module and the OLED TV works just as well. None of my Freesync  monitors are as good at removing screen tear.

 

Better at 1440p than my 1440p monitors. My 1440p monitor is not cheap since it is G-sync and 144hz but the image quality is better on the OLED. I am a 4k snob and thought 1440p was too low res.

Now I can play ray traced games with all frames over 60 without the downgrade from 4k being an issue.

 

I prefered to watch TV on my 4k monitor over the standard living room setup(TV on a stand in front of a sofa). The rest of my family prefer to use their computers as well. 

The OLED on a table like a monitor was an experiment since most people say 55" is too big. It was a big success for me. 

 

Now my plan is to get two more for the bedrooms and I may go with the new 48" version coming out this year but if I can get a 55" cheaper I will.

It looks like my only monitor that will survive will be the wide screen but I hope 48" plus versions come out since my 38" is tiny compared to the OLED.

I had no space either.  Getting rid of the sofa and TV stand made space.  I am recarpeting the bedrooms so it gives me the opportunity to rearranging the furniture so the OLEDs can be used as monitors and TV viewing.  Sort of a multimedia makeover for the hole place.

Quick questions Jones, are you happy with 55inch? I am doubting whether I should go for 65 inch... Since it would be a living room TV.

I would like to point out to those interested in OLED displays that LG is releasing a 48" in May/June. So if 55" is to big,  which generally speaking it is.. then do consider waiting for the 48".

it has the added benefit of having HDMI 2.1 so once this years GPUs release, u can do 120hz 4k, with variable refresh and 120hz BFI. Basically it will destroy current LCD monitors.

 

Official MSRP of 1800 euros, US and UK prices not yet announced.

I am using it as a monitor so 55" is really big.  I am only 32" away from it.  For TV viewing I push back the chair about 12" or close enough to reach for a drink. 

 

If I was going for a standard setup I would do 65" or larger but nobody in my family watches TV together so there is really no point in going larger for me.

 

Also my budget was $3500 and I payed $1200 for the 55" OLED.  If I had went 65" I probably would have used all or most of the budget money. With the 55" I will try to squeeze in 2 more OLED TVs with the money remaining. I am just waiting for a price drop/sale.

Current B9 and C9 OLEDs also have HDMI 2.1, so it's not really "added benefit". The new CX lineup doesn't seem to have any significant improvements, plus LG seems to be struggling with manufacturing enough panels which probably drives the price up.

i decided against the Lg C9 since im still waiting for it as its in lockdown somewhere and set up a desk and got Asus Rog Swift PG27UQ so hopefully that gets here soon
