I already own the very good Philips 55OLED707 in my living room, and due to having small children, I wanted to move the PS5, Xbox, and PC to a small space that will be used as a gaming room, so initially, I chose the Xiaomi G Pro 27i mini LED gaming monitor. However, once you try OLED, you can't go back; even though the aforementioned monitor is very good for its category, I switched to the LG OLED C4 42'. At first, I was afraid it would be too big for my desk (about 80×80 cm) and would bother me, but from the very first moment, it was perfect, and I didn't even need any adjustment time, so those of you considering it as a gaming monitor and have at least a desk with this depth, don't hesitate.

Next, the LG will inevitably be compared to my 55-inch Philips. Initially, because in this size the LG does not use an Evo panel (I knew this before I bought it), the brightness is a bit lower, but even so, at least for me, who uses it in a room with low lighting, I have no issues. The quality seems to be very well made, and its legs are quite stable (unfortunately, the 42-inch does not come with a central stand). The LG menu doesn't seem very user-friendly to me, but I imagine you get used to it over time. In terms of speed, it's a bit slow compared to the Philips, which is lightning fast. The remote control, although it looks "fake," is very good in use.

As for the picture, it's magical, of course. I haven't had the chance to play much with the settings yet, but I was impressed that at least in the gaming mode where I connected the PS5 and PC to test games, I think that without exaggeration, it might not need any changes or at least very minimal ones, unlike the Philips, where its initial modes were mediocre, and I had to make several adjustments after some searching. The only downside is with the Xbox, where the picture in the same gaming mode isn't as good, but I imagine it just needs a bit more tweaking.

The sound seemed a bit worse than the Philips, but not at a tragic level; it does the job just fine. In conclusion, the initial very high price of the 42-inch has already started to drop, as has the entire C4 series, and those considering it for a gaming monitor should not hesitate, as I think it simply has no competition at this price point.

Perhaps the most beautiful limited edition is the Astro Bot DualSense, and the blue glossy grips feel very nice.

I own 3 simple yet decent IPS monitors on my computer and a good OLED TV for PS5-Xbox Series S, and I was very curious about whether this mini LED monitor actually captures the colors and blacks of OLED.
Initially, it has a very nice stand that adjusts perfectly in height and tilt. It has a LED ring light at the back with several customization options.
In terms of image settings, it has few options, and I think with a little experience, you can easily adjust it for the best result.
Now let's talk about the image. With full local dimming on the classic OLED demo videos on YouTube, it indeed has almost absolute "blacks"; you have to see it up close to believe it. Of course, its colors are also wonderful.
I think that practically the only disadvantage compared to an OLED TV is the clarity of the image, which is logical since the monitor is QHD while the TVs are 4K. In terms of colors and "blacks," it is about 80% like my TV. However, in terms of brightness, mini LEDs are much brighter, so it's good to choose the panel based on the brightness of the room.
The only problems are three:
First, the lack of USB for potential future software upgrades (there are already reports on Reddit about cases where a pink hue appears on a white background and goes away with a restart of the monitor).
Second, on PS5, HDR is very dark, so it needs to be turned off. Practically, I didn't notice any significant difference in the image with HDR turned off.
On the contrary, on PC and Xbox, HDR works perfectly.
And finally, third, for simple browsing, local dimming needs to be completely turned off because the cursor and text have a lot of blooming.
So we conclude that the monitor is a bit finicky and requires some tweaking of the settings depending on how you use it.
In summary, at this price and with a few concessions to some negatives it has, it is a very good choice with almost 1/3 of the budget you need for an OLED panel.

Diamond in the rough. Despite everyone expecting it to be a flop like greyhill incident, not only did it prove us wrong but it has also received very good reviews so far.

I got it on sale from a well-known store for 80€ to connect an xbox series s and my phone (samsung s21). The phone connected directly with a simple type c to hdmi adapter and the sound plays from the phone without any settings. Now, as for gaming with the humble series s, the result was really good considering the price of the monitor. Great colors, responsiveness, simple menu without many settings to bother with, and good viewing angles with satisfactory blacks. Obviously, I don't have the result of my oled tv with the ps5, but I think for this price, this particular monitor is the definition of value for money, easily competing with monitors that cost much more. Finally, sleek and minimal in appearance.

A very good choice for a horror game in 2024. It definitely has its weaknesses with bugs and slightly clumsy gameplay, but its atmosphere is unique. Many times I found myself stopping the game for a while and staring at the scenery. Recommended 100% for fans of the genre.

I have the philips 55oled707 with ambilight on 3 sides (left-top-right) and I bought this set mainly to add ambilight to the base of the TV and not so much for simple room lighting. I already have several automations in my Xiaomi home, so I have a point of comparison. The difference between them is chaotic. Initially, the connection of the bridge, the bulbs, and the creation of profiles in the Philips app was very easy and was done in a few minutes, while with Xiaomi it was a Golgotha. The app that controls the system is incredibly easy and any action you take is done with 100% immediacy. As for my case, I placed the 2 bulbs behind my TV (bottom left and right, respectively) and I placed the third bulb in the ceiling light fixture as shown in the video. It has endless settings to achieve the desired result. Perhaps the price is a bit steep, but personally, I was impressed and do not regret buying them. Finally, be aware that those who want to combine it like I did with the ambilight of their Philips TV, models after 2023 also require the sync box, where the cost goes beyond.

I had not played any other game from this series nor am I a fan of this genre. By around the middle, I was getting a little bored. Fortunately, I gave it another chance and did not regret it. It is truly a very good game with very nice graphics and sound, a very strong story, and characters that draw you in. The gameplay is flawless and the Greek dubbing is enjoyable. It's worth someone playing it 100%.

Diamond, flawless gameplay, sound and graphics are decent. The story seemed a bit elaborate but not enough to be tiresome. In terms of horror, I can't say I was as scared as, for example, the Callisto Protocol, but its atmosphere is satisfactory. A must-buy for genre enthusiasts.
