His 42" is actually looking a lot better to me...
The coating came off much worse than I expected on the new model. And to the theme of this thread, the new one looks diminutive in a non-pleasing way...
(And that he was impressed with it having 240 Hz versus 120 Hz, but with his original CX having a BFI mode capable of an effective 300 Hz or more in terms of motion, but which I don't think he was very familiar with...)
At 960 Hz you shouldn't be able to notice it. Frequencies above 480 Hz should be all but imperceptible except to the most sensitive people.QN90B/C unfortunately have PWM

The company which made JOLED panels (more regular pixel layout, pro-grade color reproduction) folded a month or two ago.
I wonder if LG and/or Samsung did anything shady to choke them out of selling panels.
Well apparently it was brand markup. Because INNOCN has had a 32inch JOLED for about $1000, for 8 - 10 months.I don't think anything shady went on.
JOLED was always super expensive and sadly just never came down in price. The only thing they had going for them was normal monitor sized panels. Once LG and Samsung started making smaller screens it was over for JOLED.
I've got that Star Trek OG communicator, but your Enterprise is awesome!!I kind of feel this way too.

Oh thank you!I've got that Star Trek OG communicator, but your Enterprise is awesome!!
I have a C2 and have 0 font rendering issues. Not everyone has superhuman eyeballs. I thiink the C2 having bad fonts is hugely overblown. I literally have no issues with blurriness or aliasing. They are just smooth and sharp on my panel.
#5 - if you aren't willing to decouple the screen of a 42" or larger oled gaming tv from the desk on its own mount a little farther away, don't be surprised if the pixels sizes look more like those of a 1400p - 1500p desktop monitor and you end up having to make some compromises on the non-RGB format text (e.g. heavily massaging text-ss, seeking out and using alternative text-ss methods, scaling the desktop 125% or more which loses desktop/app real-estate). Also don't be surprised if it's a stretch visual-ergonomics wise when mounted up close directly on top of a desk, or if you find the uniformity to the ends of the screen isn't quite as good + it having some distortion.
LG C2 48in user here. It is a glossy screen. I use it for everything. Work, gaming, Win11 stuff, resumes. EVERYTHING. Never had a problem with it at night or in the day. Then again, glare doesn't bother my eyes at all. I am 6'2 and sit about 44 inches from the display at my desk.
Other than my kitten sneezing huge boogies on the panel and me having to clean it everyday, nothing beats it. Best TV as monitor I have ever owned. I mean it is great to me. I'll never buy another monitor again. OLED is great and TVs are making a good argument over buying monitors now for displays on dekstops.
Currently looking at this page from eight feet away on a 65 inch Panasonic professional plasma monitor (# TH-65PF11UK). Does that count as big?
It does time as movie screen and gaming monitor as well.
I am definitely leaning towards a 40"+ screen. I figure minimum I want is 2 x 24" wide if I go ultrawide so I would need a 44" panel. After going down to one screen with my new build, I definitely need two screens or more width. Other option of course is going with something like a 34" 21:9 panel and just shifting this 24" 1080p monitor to a second monitor to hold me over.
My big issue is I sit at a desk in the middle of a room behind a couch and anything larger than a 27" in height blocks it so I can't watch TV while working. It is 30" deep but I usually sit about 20" from the screen so not to have the monitor right up against the couch.
If no-one else is watching, can't you just use a smaller tv at your desk while working? It could still look pretty big to your perspective depending on size vs. distance. If you are following along while other people watch the tv, you could maybe figure out a way to mirror the tv to a screen at your desk using a hdmi splitter. Or get a big enough screen and a capture card so you can import the same tv stream to a big window or full-screen on one of your screens. I get the communal fire in the cave thing, or the central theater/stage aspect with "the" TV for people though too. Plus the tv's specs and features might come into play with your main tv being the best media showcase features wise. Might depend on your priorities on a lot of things.
Regarding your desk layout, a 34" 21:9 panel is prob the same height as a 27" screen ~ 13" or so. It's like a 27" screen with wings, 440 + 2560 +440 pixels. A 45" ultrawide would be taller though yeah. I think over 17" so closer to 18".
The G95NC "4k+4k" , "4k doublewide", that is 7680x2160 ends up around 17 inches tall I think since it's a lot wider in relation to it's vertical resolution. A few people with the budget for it have done an over-under setup with a gaming tv above a super-ultrwawide.
With a monitor arm or floor mount you could rest the screen right on top of the desk though, maybe even angle it upward toward your eyes a little. Also, kind of like backing a car up as you look over the dashboard and hood, the farther back your desk was from the screen the more you'd see over the top of it, depending on the layout.. There are standing desks or crank-arm craftsman tables you could use to adjust the height of the desk slightly lower too. Or maybe fabricate a desk with a drop out for the screens that keeps your peripheral area at a good height for your arms/wrists.
Idk.. there are a lot of options depending what you are interested in, room layouts, desk/bench/table types, monitor mounts/tv stands and such.
I have one of those long rectangular living rooms that is something like 21 feet by 11 feet with the desk at around 14 feet from the TV. The kitchen is one side and the other is a large sliding glass door so the desk and couch are against my kitchen bar which is also the only power within reach and even that is around the corner. Even though I have a side desk to make a L shape I only have probably 20" due to the bar overhang which is mostly taken up by my Fractal Torrent and the all in one printer. I keep debating on putting the Torrent on the floor, but I would need to find a good cart to raise it high enough off the ground while leaving clearance for the bottom fans, but not too high it hits the brace under the table. Most wheeled CPU carts, not sure why they are called CPU carts, were too high when I looked though it might fit squeezed between the support bar and the legs where the two tables touch which would give me more height.
As it is now I drop the 24" to the bottom of the height adjustment so it only has a height of 15.5 which lets me easily see over it even when sitting more relaxed. When gaming I would raise it so I was center on screen. When I sit up, the 27" would also be fine or slightly cut off the bottom of my TV. When looking 43-44" seem to be equal to two 24" but if I jump to 49" I am looking at two 27".
I thought about a floor mount, but I worry it might get bumped though wedged between the desk and couch it might not be bad especially if I can find one that lets me more put off to the side adjacent to the bar top though I probably need a desk mount for that.
Too many options, and having been out for 10 years makes it even more challenging. I need to go by BB again to look at floor models though last time I went they didn't have any setup to actually use and were all just a screen saver.
I figure I have some options that work for me.
1. Go 49" ultrawide something like the G9 Oled....this would mostly do away with the 24" monitor since not sure it would fit on the desk
2. Go 34" 21:9 something like the AW3423DWF while keeping the 24" 1080p as a second monitor
3. Go 27" 16:9 while keeping the 24" 1080p as a second monitor eventually retiring the 24" and upgrading to a 21:9 or 32:9 by the end of the year or early next

You might want to check the screen size calculator web sites to get a better idea spatially in your head. You also might want to consider looking for some 3d home design apps or sites. Some of those are even able to do a 1st person fly-through like spectator mode in a game. Just a thought.
Regarding your fractal torrent pc case, I'd consider putting it on a group of some of the smaller black office/desk-sized "milk crates". I've done that before, making sure the bottom part of the crate's style (as the top surface when set upside down) was meshed/fenced for airflow from my psu on the bottom of a pc case. Otherwise setting the crates sideways. Any way that you aren't blocking airflow. That or some ornamental bricks/blocks or some other suitable college/office metal meshed container of whatever dimensions, even if you had to paint it.. When I did the mini-crates they were beneath my case alongside my desk, and their footprint was more or less the same size as my pc case, which was also black along with the crates so I thought it looked pretty decent. I did end up attaching the case to the side of the desk with a black strap/cable though just to be certain it could never fall over. Mesh screens for fan intakes was a must, esp. with 2 cats in the house at the time.
and you didnt post it in the hot deals section?I hate to sound like a Best Buy salesman but anyone interested in a 77" QD-OLED that does 144Hz VRR, there is a killer deal on the Samsung S89C for $1799. Almost identical to the S90C from what I am reading. I had to grab one for the basement, it's too good of a price to pass on. And I'm going to be tempted to play some PC games on it, because I have already lost my mind with the 65" 95C so why the hell not?

not inappropriate at all, just share it is all im sayinNo sir, I posted it here in this thread because it's a big display that's well suited for PC use. But I suppose you're correct, it warrants a thread over there. You are welcome to remove my post if it was inappropriate.
