LG 48CX OLED - 4K 120 Hz

[R3X]

Looks like some CX sets getting 3.11.1 firmware in..... could be the geforce fix one but dunno for sure.

I expect the 48 to remain more expensive than the 55 due to limited supply.
John Lewis are already out of stock.

£1200 is probably the lowest it will go during Black Friday and the Christmas sales.

Brilliant.

I'm hoping for a decent black Friday sale. The 48CX appears overpriced compared to the 55CX.

CX48 is a much lower volume part than the CX55 - hence the price not being respectively lower now. It's the same reason LG won't make a 43" or 40" OLED, as not many want that small a TV, and not enough want monitors that size. Argh!

Looks like the update included BBC sounds and Channel Hyundia

I think that's a fair price for a set like the CX.

Thanks I got the update 3.11.1 today, that explains a lot about the glass panel if they don't sale enough 77inch OLED panels the 48inch it be limited and keep the higher price tag, than the 55inch

Avforum's gets clarification regarding those overheating/Faulty LG Oleds, nothing for Brits to worry it appears.

3.11.10

1. Improvement
1) Fixed an issue where icons and phrases were not properly displayed or output in block shape


3.11.26

1. Improvement
1) Improved video playback performance in browser

Both on LG UK website, only had 3.11.10 OTA as yet, I think 3.11.25 was supposed to fix some gaming issues with gsync, as Vincent stated in his video. We have .26 so presume it contains this as well.

I only got updated to 3.11.10 2 days ago, but not getting the newer 3.11.26 update but it sounds like maybe that .26 update may include the gsync/gaming fix, probably getting pushed slowly across the board.

OLED works best in a dark or low light rooms, not in bright lit rooms.

I used a 'Sanus VTVS1 stand' because it's all made of metal and not glass base like some, so I could put my 4KUHD player under the TV like in the image I also used a 'Soges adjustable lap table' but the table top was not long enough so had to use a 56x40cm half inch plywood board and screw it on the metal stand so I can move it, to put my keyboard and mouse plus microphone on and I didn't want to sit too close to an OLED in HDR when playing games, it would burn my eyes out

Sanus VTVS1 Universal Swivel TV Stand for 32-60-Inch Screens - Black

I'm thinking of getting this stand, can you get the TV low enough so it almost touches a soundbase or soundbar?

I notice since I installed my 3080 that I can select 12 bit colour, should I have that as opposed to 10 bit?

 

[Spikey]

Can confirm that the update works perfect with my RTX 3080 for my 55" so no more flickering. Anyone using this on a 3080 what should my nv control panel settings be?

also should VRR be on in Windows even though I'm using gsync? Also should freesync be on or off on the TV settings? Cheers!

Not if you are running at 4k 120hz RGB, there's not enough bandwidth on the cut down HDMI2.1 ports (40Gb as opposed to 48Gb) for full 12-bit.

Any lower resolutions you can, but I don't think anything uses 12-bit at the moment aside from perhaps some specialised applications so it's pointless.

@Marak thanks.

When you open the box the stand is at it's default level it might be too small for a sound bar but it depends on how thick the sound is!. You can raise it height of the stand that might give you more room, (say about the middle) the only reason I left mine at the default level was to put my 4K player under the TV like I said.

When you put the stand & base then the plate together you will know, then all is left is too screw the TV brackets to your TV but use the right screws!.

You need a 3000 series with hdmi 2.1 support to get above 60hz.

Or the AMD 6000 series. Basically the requirement is for HDMI 2.1 to use 120hz, no GPUs have that except for the new gen of cards currently being rolled out

Can you use this set to play games at 4k 75fps capped without tearing?

You can actually do 120hz over HDMI 2.0b if you use 4:2:0 but 4:2:2 does indeed require 2.1

Which software version is on your TV and which model? I'm still getting flickering above 60Hz.
