I guess that was just a UK thing (for whatever reason). In the German market, 42" is 150 euros cheaper than the 48" according to display specifications: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/news/c687763
They've been on really good sales pretty often here lately. Keep an eye out!
I saw they just hit their lowest price ever today.
I'm interested to see the Sony and LG 42" comparisons. LG has the upper hand on actual gaming features and it isn't close, but Sony has better processing that will give you a little better picture. Interested to see if LG has closed the gap with their new processor. That will be my decision.
Feet are better IMOThey mostly did. Only the 48" model seems to have that stupid stand. They should have ditched it an went with what the bigger sizes have:
The 42" has the feet:
The US prices have been announced too (except the 42", which is coming April 18th according to Value Electronics): https://valueelectronics.com/product/lg-2022-42-48-55-65-77-c2-evo-oled-tv/
83" C2: $5499
77" C2: $3499
65" C2: $2499
55" C2: $1799
48" C2: $1499
My guess is $1299 for the 42".
Best times to buy are around November and March/April. Usually when prices are lowest.
The 55" and above stand reminds me of my sorely missed Sony X900E stand.
It does look clean and simple with the feet:Not my fav. I like the Sony A80J look best. Simple clean feet, no screws needed.
The feet looks so bad.
So it is cheaper than previous posted prices?
I have a 48 cx and love it but I could be tempted for a brighter 42.
I want to say its either right in line or a smidge cheaper. One thing that's cool is that there was a rumor the 48 and 42 were going to be the same price but that's not true.
i tried using a 42" tv with my PC. it wasn't great. 42" is far too big to have sitting on my desk. i'd only use a display that size if i was siting further away. sometimes i hook my PC up to my 55" tv but that's fine cause i'm on the other side of the room.
I like feet just not on my tv
I've got 55. That is quite big and due to the size the lower pixels per degree is obvious at 3.5 feet away from the screen but I'm pretty sure 42 would be ok. Obviously if you have your screen directly in front of the keyboard (i.e. not on a wall or at the back of a deep desk) it's going to be too close. The main problem is 4k is actually kind of low res for sitting close to a super big monitor in addition to things like cut scenes that are in the form of heavily compressed video that only look good when sitting far enough away to not see the artifacts (especially on oled). Similarly, open world games where it makes aliasing, low res texture, low geometry objects more obvious.
Looks to be the same. I know there was a rumor the 42" was going to be the same price as the 48", but that turned out to not be true. The interesting thing is the Sony A90K 42" and 48" looks like it may be the same price as the 42" and 48" C2 going by the reward points on Sony's website. If that's the case, I think I'll just get the A90K.
I consider replacing my 48" CX for this as a monitor, 48" can be a tad too big. We'll see.
