I used the C2 for a few days but I fukkin hated it. Too big, plus it has auto-dimming unless you buy the service remote, so reading text on it with a white background makes you have a stroke. Plus I never really liked the whole burn in thing. I know it can be mitigated but still.

Ended up going with a 27 inch 4k 144hz mini-LED monitor. No risk of burn in. Amazing picture. I think 32 inch might be the sweet spot for 4k, but the pixel density of 4k at 27 inch is also pretty great.

Yeh my thoughts as well, its just too big as a PC monitor, it looks incredible though.

Mount the oled above your 27 inch.

I had my old 50" 4k (no oled) TV set up like that for a while, it was pretty nice. I only took it down because I use it for my racing sim now and it was too high up on the wall for that. Now I have it on a rolling tv stand, so, I can move it around when I'm not using it. Roll it right up in front of my racing wheel and it's perfect.


The LG oled panels are light af without the stand on, you could probably find a solid heavy duty clamping monitor arm if you don't want to wall mount.

I bought a stand to elevate it a bit as it was too low, and even a deeper desk to see if it would improve things. Now I feel like I'm a mile away from the screen lol

27" is pretty much perfect for a 16:9.

That's actually a proper setup for it. My desk is only ~36 inches deep and that was too close for a screen that big. Yours is properly spaced.

That was another reason I didn't feel too bad about buying a 27 inch monitor. 27 inch is just a closer 32 inch monitor if that makes sense, since I would have to move a 32 inch monitor back. You can fit more stuff on the screen though which is nice, same with your C2.

I have an OLED on my wall with a PC connected to it but it literally is only for games and watching youtube. I have a macbook on my desk with an LG ultrawide for general computing/web browsing, etc. The OLED, as others have said, will auto dim (you can disable this) and risk burn in.
