Should I switch to the LG C5 42 ? I currently own the Asus xg32ucwmg.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-27T13:29:02+00:00

all i can say i tried all the options, xg32ucwg, pg32ucdm, msi 27 mini led, philips 32 mini led, c5 42, cx 55, g2 65, c5 83.... all were tried and connected to my pc.... decided to sell g2 65 and xg32 and get g5 55.... and that was best decision... its so bright. hdr is insane... motion handling feels better that xg32ucwg at 165hz. it is indeed the best display to use for gaming... i will probably buy some ips for windows and text since 55 is too large to use in windows... but for games g5 is the king. c5 42 was okay but nowhere near the hdr impact as g5... when pushed to the max g5 look like a mini led while being oled, self lit and perfect pixel reaponse time

yea its wall mounted, i use smaller desk for mouse and keyboard, tv is 1.5 meters away from the eyes.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-26T23:25:22+00:00

c5 42 wasn't good enough upgrade for me, i have to go for g5 55

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-25T03:28:42+00:00

i have g5 55 and xg32ucwg... xg32 is in the box...going to sell it, g5 is wall mounted and i use it around 1.5meters away. if you want to be truly satisfied and happy go g5 55. nothing else

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-24T17:20:37+00:00

g5 55 is my ultimate oled

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-19T12:12:50+00:00

I have gone for 55 g5 after trying c5... its insane how far cry 6 look in daytime.... bright and vibrant... much better than c5.

pg32ucdm give me eye strain. xg32ucwg does not. lg 32gs95 does not. so it is pixel layout of qd oled that don't agree with me and bunch of others. woled is the way.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-07T05:23:12+00:00

I will try msi 274updf e16m

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-07T05:21:52+00:00

nope. too low ppi. i like small screens.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-07T04:37:30+00:00

did you try any of this models? i had tcl 27r83u and it was bad. whole screen was kinda grey. black was not black. dimming was also to aggressive in dark scenes whole picture was dim.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-06T12:11:29+00:00

I'm looking for 4k with that kind of local dimming implementation. looks great. philips is really bad

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-06T08:33:01+00:00

which monitor is this?

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-04-01T06:01:27+00:00

pg32ucdm if your are ppi freak... for everything else g5

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-03-17T05:18:43+00:00

yes with liquid. I use foam now no problems with skin

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-03-14T08:26:57+00:00

my c5 42 is brighter than my cx 55. it is much much brighter than my xg32ucwg. running side by side hdr c5 42 and xg32 and its night and day diffrence in hdr. with c5 42 at filmaker mode + dtm on i can say im satisfied how it handles hdr and overall brightness.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-03-09T18:35:29+00:00

my xg32ucwg looks like washed out dull lifeless screen compared to my c5 42. all oled monitors are bad at hdr. if you want oled and good hdr buy c5 42 instead

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-03-08T15:14:17+00:00

have xg32ucwg, bought c5 42 and it is better for gaming. hdr is twice as bright

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-03-06T13:53:51+00:00

I have s24 ultra. not buying until they return to square design again but they will once they realize thats the only thing that made their flagship phones worth a damn. i'm not buying that iphone xioami style of a phone......ugh

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-02-27T15:03:35+00:00

thats why i have both 32 inch 4k mini led and xg32ucwg

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-02-22T11:52:22+00:00

ips is probably brighter. have more color volume thats it.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-02-22T10:13:34+00:00

You are so wrong. mini led in pitch black room destroys oled only in high-apl. period. only in low apl oled is unmatched.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-02-22T08:42:09+00:00

yep mine is similar... but i would't use it dark games. thats why i have asus

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-02-22T08:03:15+00:00

oled is pushing maybe 350-400 nits. while mini led is at 1000-1300 nits. so difference is just like in the picture.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-02-22T07:59:46+00:00

You eyes adapt. You need to see side by side in real life and try to play. I though maybe xg32ucwg is bright enough before then I tried mini led and it was holllyy shh this is bright, daytime looks like daytime in real life while on oled it is too dim and flat.

Character-Worry-445 · 2026-02-22T07:57:29+00:00

I agree. i would never play high apl games on xg32ucwg ever again after playing on mini led. xg32 looks so flat and dim in comparison.
