I just picked up a 42” LG C4 yesterday. First time using an OLED as a PC monitor and so far I’m very impressed. If anyone wants to do check anything let me know.
Or by using the software solution (which might only bring back the original service menu)?Can you disable ASBL through the service menu?

Damn man you'd really take the 240 to 144hz hit that easy. I think it's the QD-OLED's biggest selling point.
I wonder what the state of the PG42UQ is now. It will still be brighter than the C4 and only down 6hz
Yeah I have the same thinking. Most I ever see in the games I play is 160FPS. Having 240hz really only benefits me on the desktop and some random indie title that can run on a potato.No game I'm playing atm actually runs close to 240fps though (currently playing a lot of Helldivers 2 and that only gets 110fps with a 7800X3D and 4090 at 4K), and looking into the future I don't think that's going to change, I'm expecting to get no more than 144fps in pretty much all titles that are going to come out this year so there's not much point to 240Hz if I can't get the fps to make use of it. I did enjoy the hell out of my QD-OLED when I was briefly into The Finals and I got around 180-200fps in that game, but I've gotten kinda bored of it now. Anyways, there were people who were willing to go from a 240Hz OLED all the way down to a 120Hz VA with the Samsung G9 so by comparison, this isn't that bad of a drop lol. I'm also not going to bother switching as long as my QD-OLED behaves itself.
Part of why the advanced BFI on the CX/C1 is so great.Same experience for me in the few days I had my 240Hz Alienware. Every game I played was around ~120 FPS (with ultra settings/ray tracing where possible) so I was wondering what the point of downsizing from 120Hz 48" to 240Hz 32" was. I'm guessing this will change though with the 5090.
It should be noted that a 240 hz display set to 240 hz would always be 240 hz regardless of the FPS. Might be marginal gains though.
To me it's just headroom. I'm currently playing Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and on my 4090 that runs at 4K 120 fps with Nvidia DLAA. I could probably push it quite a bit further with DLSS and FG but what's the point if your display can't show those frames?Yeah I have the same thinking.

Nice, so using ColorControl.@thedisplayguy responded.
Q: "Some people are saying that dimming cannot be defeated on the C3 nor the C4 with the service menu. Or that it doesn't stick going right back to dimming when you cycle the power on these screens. Can you please confirm one way or the other?"
A: "I disabled it with a Windows program."
Nice, so using ColorControl.
Yes, it can. But one needs to unlock service menu to full list.
If you want it in full range, use LGTV Companion commands in cmd.exe terminal.
cd /d c:\Program Files\LGTV Companion lgtvcli.exe -settings_other "{"svcMenuFlag": false}"
and then enter the full service menu with 0413 code:
cd /d c:\Program Files\LGTV Companion "LGTV Companion.exe" -button IN_START
ColorControl also gives you a virtual remote you can use to access the service menu. Different options.
From recent reports, it seems there is almost no reason to upgrade to C4. All the big improvements happen in 55" and larger models. The brightness increase is not that noticeable, neither is 24hz. Personally I decided to just keep my 48CX, everything is a compromise and there's no clear upgrade yet for me.
I think a 38" or 42" 240Hz+ oled with 1000+ nits hdr, glossy coating, would be enough to sway me.
Yeah I run my IPS at '20' for brightness, when I'm web browsing or typing in GMAIL, etc. I don't need 400 nits of white screen.I never disabled the ASBL on the 42c2 nor on the 55c7. It only happens during desktop use such as browsing, and never in games or movies playback. Actually, it did dim in movie playback at first, and I really didn't like that and thought this C2 was kind of broken unless I play games on it, thankfully I don't watch much movies on the desktop and use it solely for gaming and browsing probably 99% of the time, but after certain firmware update the dimming in movies stopped completely. So now it dims only in desktop use, which I find not bothering, I even find it rather a comfort feature, it eases off on the eyes when it reduces the luminance and I know it prolongs lifespan of the display and also reduces electricity consumption. So much good stuff the ASBL provides, when you come to think of it. Really, a neat feature.
