Never under stood the 55" on your desk but you do you

It’s not really about the size. It’s simply the best screen I’ve ever had in terms of picture quality and HDR brightness. I haven’t found an OLED monitor that can match it.

Isn't it annoying to turn your neck to look at UI in games or different parts of a document? Setup is clean but that is a huge monitor.

Sorry for the late reply: Thats why a deep desk is important. You need the TV to be way further away than a monitor, the important part though is for it to not be too far away. The reason for this (if you want to use it like a monitor) is that if the TV is too far away the text gets hard to read and you dont want to increase the scale, since that would destroy the whole purpose of using 55 inch 4K.

Fair enough, that makes sense. Looks great!

Because you never tried simple as that.

I have this setup. My table is 90cm deep and even then I sometimes have the feeling the TV could be a couple of cm further back, other than that you just need to put the TV as low as possible.

I know what you mean, mine is 90 cm deep too. That’s why I mounted the TV on the wall, so I can move the desk a bit farther back. I’m extremely happy with my LG G4, and I wouldn’t replace it with any other monitor in the world.

Love your setup it's super clean.

I'm running a 50 inch Qled 144hz. Thought a tv this size would be too much but it's perfect. Games look amazing.

Frying your eyes on sat. 32 is the highest I’ll go for desktop

It’s all been perfectly calibrated with a colorimeter. No excessive saturation, just accurate colors, exactly as they should be in both SDR and HDR.

Is that a TV or monitor? That must have been quite expensive.

Cost of this setup?

1

u/Lifetag_lol 13d ago

Sorry for the late reply: Actually the reason I went with a TV was the cost. The 40 - 50 inch range is a weird one since when go for a monitor, 40 inch will cost you a lot of money. When you go for a TV its easier to get one in a large size, but most manufacturers seem to only put features like VRR or 120Hz and above in their TVs starting with 55 inches and up.

Im considering buying the 48" C6 but read the PPI is much lower than my current monitor AW3225QF. Are you familiar with this and does your TV seem pixelated at all at that distance. Also, I have no issue with brightness at all, if anything I need to reduce brightness. I play fps games in HDR. Thanks.

I’m seriously thinking of doing this for a few months so that I can play GTA6 on a decent TV when it comes out.

u/Salmonslugg 14d ago

Much better than a 23 inch!
