 Hey guys, Thundee here and we're taking a look at the brand new LG 48 inch CX OLED TV because we want to see how well it works as a gaming monitor. Yeah, yeah that's right because as PC gamers we want to see that and it's been hyped a lot by a lot of people so let's check that out but before we do a quick word from our sponsor SmartDeploy.

It's priced at $1,500. It is an affordable OLED. It's got you know their AI think you system built into it but it is a beautiful looking TV. I mean thin bezels all around and a very thin TV in general so you can see how thin it is just you know the front and back really nice thin bezels all around and also just a nice aesthetic look. Now the one thing I'll tell you is quickly basically go watch videos how to set up the stand because it's annoying. There are a couple of videos out there on YouTube. I'll leave the links down for you guys below but this TV of course is an OLED TV which means true blacks are deep as you can see with that magneto wallpaper really nice true blacks on this TV. Pixel dimming all the way but what are the features that we care as gamers especially a PC gamer. So first off it's powered by their alpha 9 3rd gen processor. It's a 4k processor. We also have a refresh rate of 120 Hertz. Yes that's right 120 Hertz refresh rate which is great. You've got HDR support for Dolby Vision, HDR10 all that fun stuff but as a gamer the list goes on. You've got G-Sync compatibility so you've got G-Sync built in there. You've also got VRR variable refresh rate and it's also supports auto latency mode. Now the cool thing is this thing also has a one millisecond response time so as you're gaming like I mean like it kind of fits all the criteria we care about in there. Now in terms of ports we're looking at four HDMI ports although I believe there's of course we have an ER port but all of them support HDMI 2.1 at 40 gigabits not 48. We'll see how that pans out but you know it means that you know HDMI 2.1 definitely supports 4k 120 so that is a huge plus. Now to test this all to see how it actually works on this TV we need a PC to do that and this time I decided to do a new build thanks to our friends from Intel who sent over their brand new 10th gen processor. I've got the Core i5 variant here which I use for this build and I have to say though you're gonna see some really interesting things about it but showcasing the build quickly we have a be quiet case and power supply look it's quiet in the case trust me cooler master is of course for the cooler itself but the processor is the Core i5 10 gen and it's a really nice processor and I was really excited to actually see it. I think the overall build looks really nice in terms of storage we went with an NVMe from Seagate and we got that brand new Samsung SSD at two terabytes it's truly needed because as you guys know Call of Duty Wars and already takes like 250 gigabytes of storage so and I'm gonna be playing a lot of games here so I need to see how that actually functions and also store a lot of games and I should say that drives actually pretty cool but we have all that so we've got our PC looks great graphics card we initially went with a GTX 2070 from 27 meaning from a Seuss but because we were playing on a 4k display we said you know what let's bring the big boy out so we went with the ROG Strig the 2080 Ti to give the best performance possible because we want to see that on this TV so what you're gonna see is a clip of a couple of games actually all the games we played here on this TV and also you're gonna listen to audio from the TV as well so without wasting any more time let's see some gameplay okay guys the hype is real I mean PC gaming on this TV is truly amazing the fact that you've got a native 120 Hertz refresh rate display absolutely makes all the difference all the games we played ran really well I mean Warzone Call of Duty Warzone ran well and having the actual refresh rate especially on the live screen like that definitely helped quite a lot now I wouldn't suggest that you sit down that close like I did but hey you know what it still worked really well also Doom Eternal ran great high FPS about 215 frames per second but again taking advantage of that display so a fast-paced game like that also worked Street of Rage also looked good on this on this TV as well and looking at games like Shot of the Tomb Raider that played well as well as also of course Forza Horizon 4 which looked absolutely stunning on this TV set now before you say okay this is really great there are a couple of things to mention though it's not a straightforward process because while you connect of course the PC directly via HDMI you need to do a couple of things to make sure you take advantage of that 120 Hertz refresh rate so you want to go into a video display settings and go to change resolution right there you'll find the ability to scroll down from TV resolutions to PC resolutions and then change the refresh rate to of course 120 Hertz refresh rate and of course 4k that's the best way to take advantage of it and you can see quite clearly as we did our test UFO test we you can see it's clearly doing 120 Hertz so the TV definitely does a wonderful job and if you're thinking of buying this to game whether you or console gamer or PC gamer this would take full advantage of it remember also gets HDMI 2.1 cables so that it supports because the support 4k 120 as well now this is a TV as I mentioned so you do have of course the full capabilities of webOS built into an LG TV allowing you to download all the apps you want to from Peacock to HBO Max and of course YouTube and you can access that directly from the TV so you've got that extra benefit there plus you've got that dedicated game settings so when you actually turn it on or even when you connect to PC it goes directly into game mode basically making sure you're getting the best gaming setting possible and then I forget sound you heard the audio while I was gaming it sounded really really good now my one little gripe of course is the LG remote the magic remote is a solid remote but it's just too many buttons I would like a simplistic remote and I've been asking LG to simplify this but other than that little gripe though this TV has truly amazed me in terms of performance and the kind of quality all around and also the PC that I built also definitely showcased well on this TV again it's a 4k panel 120 Hertz and you know the Intel coi 5 really ran well and if we look at the Cinebench scores on that rig you can see it's right below of course a threadripper the first-gen threadripper but that's still pretty solid for quite five chipset so take it as you will if you want to build a PC and you want to use a coi 5 especially attention I say definitely go ahead and use it so overall guys that is my gaming on the LG 48 inch CX OLED this is a gaming monitor for the PC fans that you love either to watch TV content or game if you have any questions any comments are you want to pick this up use the link down below guys also if you're looking to build the PC that I showcased with all the parts there definitely use my PC part picker link to check out every single part in that PC I really like this build it was really fast and easy to do overall but thank you very much guys don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy entertainment
