Know before you buy
Yes, it is an excellent choice for PC gaming. With a 0.1ms response time and support for up to 144Hz refresh rates, it provides a fluid, responsive experience that rivals dedicated gaming monitors.
The OLED evo panel with Brightness Booster is designed to deliver significantly higher peak brightness than standard OLEDs. While it performs best in controlled lighting, it is more than capable of maintaining vibrant contrast in well-lit rooms.
The TV includes four HDMI 2.1 ports, which support 4K gaming at 120Hz. It also features Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and G-Sync compatibility to ensure smooth gameplay without screen tearing.
This model uses a standard VESA mounting pattern, but because it is an OLED, you should ensure your mount is compatible with the specific dimensions and weight of the 48-inch panel. Always check the manual for the exact VESA measurements before purchasing a bracket.
The processor uses AI to analyze and optimize content in real-time. It handles upscaling lower-resolution video to 4K clarity and refines color and contrast settings to match the director's original intent.
Yes, the TV runs on LG's webOS 25 platform. This interface provides direct access to all major streaming services and apps without the need for an external streaming device.
