LG 48CX OLED - 4K 120 Hz
- Thread starter Vega
- Start date
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
Something that really bugged me about AMD is their energy/wattage usage with dual screen it's much higher than Nvidia cards, I don't know if it effects all AMD cards but perhaps worth checking out its wattage with Dual screen display. It's one of the main reasons why I did not upgrade to the RX5500XT series cards, and went with Nvidia where the wattage does not go up too much with dual display.
If AMD 6000 series fix the high energy usage and with their mid-range cards, id be half tempted to go back with AMD in 2021.
The firmware is on the LG support website :

You unzip the firmware to a USB drive. Just follow the firmware instructions and you cant go wrong.
cheers I did try this yesterday evening, but the software & firmware page says no files oddly.

you mean the CX not bx!, go into Nvidia control panel click on change resolutions then to the PC 3840x2160 and apply it, the HZ will change. But you will not get the full 120hz in all games your 1080 Ti can't go over 18gb HDMI, no matter if you change the cable.
You don't need a 3080 card, the 1080 TI can go to 120hz on this monitor with 4K HDR the only difference is you will not get the 48gbs on HDMI only a 2.1 will

No, but the link above for the manual software update did the trick.
Now cooking with gas!

Most of us on here have the LG OLED CX48/55, Alpha 9 Gen 3 processor so you have the BX entry-level OLED Alpha 7 Gen 3 processor model now I understand why you can't change it

Yes!
Now it's the CPU struggling to keep up, and I'm not sure how long 16GB of RAM is going to hold out. It's a bottomless upgrade pit.
Seriously though, pushing above 60fps has now engaged Gsync properly and things are really smooth. This panel is stunning at high refresh 4k with HDR enabled.
cheers much appreciated

Should output colour not be RGB?
