Till now, LG C2 42 still not brought into the Malaysia. WTH. The possibly best selling size but bringing into Malaysia.

It is the best selling so far. C2 42 been highly recommended for OLED PC/console gaming. Its small enough (at least the smallest OLED high refresh rate display available in market). Previously high end monitor are stupidly expensive and does not perform as good as LG TV. Finally LG brought down to smallest 42" compare to previous C1 48". Its far more reasonable to put on desk.

The whole damn SEA already make 42" available and then the Malaysia still yet to happen. So I really curious what the actual f**k their brains are thinking lol. But anyway, pretty sure just a bunch of old aunties and uncles on the top management outsmarted themselves though that the 42" demands won't be high. And pretty sure they can't bring a good margin for the 42" version, since the 48" version already pretty cheap that can be found in Shopee.

To an extend in this topic, PG42UQ is 1399 USD at launch, so monitors in Malaysia, unlike TV, that will be at the same price in MYR or another 10-30% marked up. This is "ASUS ROG monitor", the price, never surprise that 100% confirm will be sold at ridiculous price in Malaysia. PG48UQ also not yet appeared in Malaysia market, so I really don't have any high hope on PG42UQ so soon will be available here.

And really huge thanks and shout out to @heavendevil who sold the c1 48 at 3k in perfect condition. After getting this TV, I really wont regret to use a TV as a monitor instead of a monitor within same size same specs. LG really is the top tier in market, those smart TV interface especially settings that make me really enjoyable to swap between SDR & HDR even in different use case like web browsing, gaming and movies. Really can't imagine myself to struggle with an OLED monitor OSD, which seems gonna be pain in the ass.

I think you can get some references by watching HDTVTEST in Youtube or Rtings website. They both give a really in-depth review on these models. What I remember in HDTVTEST, for normal users, the only difference is the new menus in C2 and also slightly higher peak brightness. Others seems can be ignored. Sony TVs in Malaysia seems like less aggressive in terms of price discount compare to LG. You can usually find LG has cheaper price than Sony.

Oh that's sad, I bought a used 48" C1 with a very decent price. Even though 42" is what I really aim for, but sadly 42" LG never going to happen in Malaysia. But still wont regret it as the price I pay for, and Im really lucky so far my C1 still in very perfect condition without any sort of dead pixels.

Since its a TV with remote control, so I still usually turn off TV whenever Im not using, and still doing pixel cleanings and let the ABL remain turn on. I'm also using dark mode for browsers and using Wallpaperengine to run those moving screensaver images, so still no any sign of burn in issue.

After 3 generations (LG C2 to C4), there's still no 42" version selling in Malaysia. What a dissapointment. I really dont care if 42" inch is selling same price as 48" or even higher, at least we are able to purchase locally as big display PC users.

Yeah pretty insane for crazily overpriced C4, G4 is paired with latest MLA but not for C4, if that's small price different between C4 and G4, rather pick G4 since it has much much higher brightness compare to C4.
