Still extremely expensive. My 48C1 has been great, 4K@120Hz and I paid $899 for it. $999 for a 27" QHD is wild, even at 240Hz and OLED.

I mean, everyone's preferences are different, but IMO bigger isn't always better with displays; if you have the same resolution of display but in two different sizes the smaller of the two will appear brighter and of higher contrast to the eye, and will generally offer a better experience in bright conditions.

Plus, you can just adjust sitting distance to the size of display, so I'm not entirely convinced that displays should be judged that heavily by size, IMO.

This isn't a criticism of your comment specifically....but when did "gaming" start to mean competitive shooters?

These days anything that media, social or otherwise, claims is good for "gaming" is talking about Battle Royal 2023: This Time with Jetpacks.

I play cinematic, story-driven single player games and those are video games too.

And as I said, it's not a criticism of your post specifically but the larger idea that "gaming" means competitive FPS.

Big screen monitors are great for story driven games that you play with a mouse and keyboard. See Mass Effect or Horizon Zero Dawn. Or Red Dead 2 which is best (in my experience) with a mouse and keyboard for everything but horse riding where I pick up my controller.

It’s a VERY good price for a 240hz OLED.

I have the TV version of the 48” screen. It’s fantastic except for the auto dimming. Been unable to prevent that…

You need to buy the LG service remote. It's about $10 and you can disable the feature. I had to do the same thing because holy hell was that annoying. 7000hrs later and no issues with burn in.

Edit: Here's the fix I posted when I asked about this issue on the oled subreddit:

I was able to fix the issue by purchasing this remote and turning off "TPC Enable" in the Service Menu.

You access the Service Menu by pressing the IN START button on the remote and entering the passcode "0413".

THIS. This fixed so many issues, especially watching shows like Ozark where my C9 and C1 would make already dark scenes even dimmer and impossible to see. Thank you for sharing, word needs to get out on this.

As a flagship product probably isn't depending on production cost, will likely gradually go down the next year or two if they can scale it up. maybe the tech can be used for budget monitors that struggle getting brighter than 200nits

On the bright side we should see this tech getting used on top range of Tv's this year and eventually become the mid/low range.

I paid $140 for a widescreen 1440p 144hz 27” free sync monitor from a Chinese brand and it’s flawless lol

4k 120 is literally a Walmart special lol

This is an actual high quality TV, not a surveillance tool disguised as a TV.
