If previous LG OLEDs are anything to go by, you’re gonna be disappointed using it as a regular computer monitor (gaming would be great though).

The automatic brightness limiting kicks in hard for regular PC usage.

The ABL isn’t that much of an issue as the WRGB sub pixels that it uses which make text fuzzy.

Also even at 42” the PPI is not good enough for text rendering.

And lastly the biggest issue is actual comfort there is almost no way to balance the right distance and scaling to prevent strain on your neck when working with such large monitors.

That would be annoying, my use case is both but many times the hours of work to compared to gaming. I guess that is why my B6 is amazing, not the brightest out there compared to what is available today but no automatic limiting.

I wonder how the crazy gamer ones are going to be, like the ASUS PG42UQ [0]. Also how much a premium above the regular LG one. Also would get annoyed by having that UFO on my desk.
