Would earc still work? Like if I plug the pc into hdmi 1 but earc is hdmi 2 going to the avr. I mean 144 over 120 isnt really that a big a deal for me if I can't.

Yeah I thought it was a good deal when I bought this new tv. Cashed in my jar of coins to get amazon credit because the machine doesn't charge if you get an amazon credit and had a bunch of amazon points from using their card all the time. Then it was 25% off.

I don't understand why it wouldn't, aren't you running earc over a separate HDMI cable anyway? At least that's what I do to my TV.

I just bought the c4. It's pretty dope. I've only had it for a couple days. I had a 64in LG from 2017 so kinda a big upgrade.

yeah the cable goes from tv to avr with hdmi 2 slot so I can watch netflix and stuff with dolby vision and dolby atmos. I was just wondering if I plug my pc into hdmi 1 slot that it would still use my avr with the pc.

Do you have the PC HDMI port labeled as "pc" on the TV? There should be a way to label the HDMI input as "PC"

Damn 55 just seems too big
. Have thought about 42 C4. I just have an idea that it will be too obnoxious to daily due to smart TV bullshit. That and burn in issues.- 1

I use a 55 C3 for an arcade cabinet. No real smart tv issues with it, I just use a program that sends a network signal to turn it on and off with the pc.

Oh that's interesting. Didn't realize there was such a program, do you remember what it's called? I am still kind of hoping for a new generation of 42" monitors like Asus has using the c4 (or maybe c5) panel.
C4 going on sale is tempting though.

Rtings has been running an OLED/LED longevity test for burn in and the OLEDs are actually holding up fairly well. I don't think burn in is as big of an issue as it used to be.

A TV that has a good refresh rate, has some basic hardware-interfacing capabilities with the computer (low delay), and running your resolution at 4k... all that together creates a pretty good experience. The Samsung I have downstairs has just a small bit of ghosting in frames, but its not even noticeable unless you're a competitive first person shooter type of gamer. I dont think Ill ever go back to just normal monitors, personally.

I wish LG made a 42in version of the G4. 55in isn't as bad as I first thought if you're back far enough. The G4 has a five year warranty with burn-in protection. It's also a lot brighter and colorful compared to my C4 42in. The dimming is barely noticeable on the G4 and it's insanely bright in SDR and HDR content.Damn 55 just seems too big

I ended up buying a C4 since they were on sale and at this point price protection for next 60 days so whatever. Got a 5 year warranty to cover burn in, since I'm still a bit worried about OLED longevity.
Overall, compared to my high end IPS monitor, I'll be honest it's obviously better but not immediately noticeable. Because the IPS is brighter it tends to balance the same scenes differently but you end up with what I guess I'd call true contrast on the OLED vs brute force on the IPS. Viewing angles are technically better, but really dark and black scenes are the only thing very noticeable.
One thing I'm noticing is nVidia drivers or lossless scaling app don't like something at some point, if will toss up a partial corrupted frame but only in one specific game. This doesn't happen on my IPS though. So suspecting it could be that thing with VRR/GSync that some people say happens, but it seems less likely since my 4090 is very good at keeping it pegged close to 144 fps at all times. Still testing random things otherwise.
I also tried that ColorControl App but it seems to only work sometimes and has some limitations, namely that it used mobile wakeonlan instead of the HDMI based one and since it only seems to fire on login (guessing used Windows service scheduler), it seems to need to be set to monitor 2. Will have to keep fiddling with that.
Biggest problem is fucking LG remotes work on anything and now I have 3 LG TVs in this room and I had to electrical tape the IR sensor or else it gets turned on/off/volume whenever the wife changes the big TV on the wall. Annoying it's 2024 and they haven't added a way to isolate channels or anything.
Overall, though, it's really nice picture quality and since there's not an equivalent monitor (Asus 42" is EoL and I think a C2 panel), there's really no other option. I might "regret" if they come out with something in a year or two, but I guess I can always do a warranty claim at some point to trade up.
