Amazon is currently offering the 42" LG Evo C2 4K OLED TV for only $799.99. That's the lowest price we've seen for this TV. You might already be aware of the fact that the LG Evo C2 OLED makes for an outstanding gaming TV, but the smaller 42" size also happens to be one of the best PC gaming monitors available. To find another equivalent gaming monitor from another brand, you'd easily have the shell out more than $1K.
42" LG C2 4K OLED Gaming TV for $796.99
The 42" model is LG's smallest OLED TVs, and thus it really shines as a PC gaming monitor. Because the 42" C2 has the same 4K resolution as its larger siblings (and thus, the same number of pixels), it boasts a higher pixer density so images are sharper. The 42" is also small enough to fit most gaming desks. The LG Evo C2 features HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K @ 120Hz and VRR when connected to a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 40 series gaming PC as well as sub-1ms response times, ALLM, and native G-SYNC compatibility for zero tearing and ghosting. For PC gamers, it also supports 4:4:4 chroma sampling for clear, sharp text. As always, the OLED panel blows away any IPS, VA, or TN monitor in terms of HDR, black levels and color rendition.
The 2022 C2 model has an improved "Evo" OLED panel over the C1. Previously reserved only for the LG G-series OLED TVs, the Evo panel offers higher brightness levels, one of the few areas that traditional LED LCD TVs have OLEDs beat. The newer 2023 C3 TV, on the other hand, has very few upgrades making the price jump worthwhile. That means for someone who wants to make the jump to OLED but wants to maximize value, the Evo C2 is definitely the way to go.
You won't find a gaming monitor under $1K that can beat the LG Evo C2 in terms of image quality (although that might change for Prime Day). Its closest competitors are something like the 49" Samsung Odyssey G9 QD OLED gaming monitor that sells for $2200. Dell also has a 34" Alienware QD-OLED that sells for $899.99 right now. However, it's not really an apples to apples comparison because not only is the screen size is smaller, but it only sports a 3440x1440 resolution. LG has a 48" OLED gaming monitor but even that sells for $400 more right now.
