my mama would give me the chancla for sitting that close to the tv. Dunno if i should do this i feel the chancla incoming

A great hint to get almost retina like text on a Mac, use a USB-C to HDMI cable and set the resolution to 3008x1692, sure it's a little larger than normal, but much clearer. BTW, Activity Monitor says the resolution is 6016x3384 (same resolution as the XDR) but scaled.

I use a Caldigit box that acts like a dock for my Macbook Pro. It has a Display Port on the back. I then bought a high quality cable that is Display Port at the source, and HDMI at the screen. By one that supports HDMI 2.1 and 48Gbps. That worked like a champ! Also, great info in this video. Thank you! Loved the hard-coded numbers for switching between inputs.

Just got a LG Oled TV, I came back to this bookmarked video and rewatched on the quick switch inputs and booting up faster tweaks! Highly appreciate this! :)

One of the most useful YouTube videos I have watched recently. Thanks for all the great tips!

Awesome tips and tricks. I bought a LG C2 42", which I'm using now. I got around the ABL by setting HDMI input to PC and choose either the isf modes and/or game mode. Under there the dark isf mode is set to 63 OLED pixel brightness, contrast to 80, gamma to BT.1886, color dept under Color to 55 and sharpness to 0, which also helps in some games. light isf is set to 93 OLED pixel brightness, contrast to 80, gamma to 2.2, color dept to 55 and sharpness to 0. This way, you still have your warrenty. I hope it works for you too.

All great tips and tricks! Got all the software installed and now it is absolutely more like a real monitor. Thanks for a great video :)

Addendum... switching to "PC input" actually made a considerable difference! It was especially noticeable on music writing software like Sibelius... So thank you again! Now it will be even easier to work and then quickly go to wasting time on my PS5!

Super helpful! Love your videos. I can't believe that this video was made by you because I watch all of your videos regularly and this isn't really something that I thought you would make a video on. On top of that, I had been looking for this video forever to figure out how to optimize my LG C2 even before I got it, and it didn't really exist until you made it. Kinda a long rant, but I just thought it was odd. Thanks again!

This is gonna be sooooo useful for when the qd-oleds from lg release next year. You are the man!

Just bought a LG C3 48" today as a computer monitor, and I will say I love it... I got a swivel mount coming with install this upcoming week to watch it in bed at night as well... honestly your video really helped my decision making... thank you!

Hey man nice tips for helping out those getting started with LG OLEDs. Just wanted to mention something that took me months to learn for the tip of turning screen off. When you use the TV with game mode (in a PC or Console) the quick settings menu is replaced by a gaming mode settings and you have no access to the turn off screen option anymore. To get it back AND keep the game mode on, you have to go to Settings > All Settings > General > Game Optimizer > Game Dashboard and turn it off. And if you need to go back to the game dashboard, just add a quick settings shortcut for it (has the icon of a gamepad) Now you have the best of both worlds! :)

Thanks, Ahnestly, for the valuable tips!...Just purchased a 55" Sony TV as a PC monitor and will be using a monitor arm on a sit/stand electric desk...

Thanks a bunch for the video. From everything online you are the only one mentioning the LGTV Companion. Super Much Appreciated!!! Ordered mine a few hours ago 😁!

Switching the input to PC mode gives you the opportunity to use the Chroma RGB 4:4:4 120Hz in 4k + reducing the input delay, which greatly, very much affects the positive experience of use. Absolutely must do.

For the longest time, i have always had a monitor and a tv linked to my pc. Having those benefits have been awesome

the quick switch tip for inputs is awesome - thanks man!

Thank you for these advices! I will defenetly use lot of them. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for all the useful tips mate, the quick access tip @11:40 alone deserves more than one thumb up, also the recommended/referenced viewing distance at the beginning of the video immediately solved my nauseous feeling, just started using my C2 42" today and currently waiting for my HX arm to arrive, I am so glad I found your video here, THE best video about using LG OLED TV as monitor advice out there, thanks again!
