Is the 42-inch C2 good for gaming?

Yes. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, 120 Hz native refresh, under 1 ms response time and support for G-Sync, FreeSync Premium and VRR. It is a popular choice for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC gaming.

How is the 42-inch C2 different from the larger C2 sizes?

The 42-inch and 48-inch panels are not OLED evo, so they are dimmer than the 55-inch and up C2 models. Otherwise the processor, ports and gaming features are the same.

Can I use the LG C2 42 as a computer monitor?

Yes, and many buyers do. It supports 4K at 120 Hz over HDMI 2.1, but the glossy screen reflects light and static desktop elements raise burn-in risk, so use a screensaver and hide the taskbar.

Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

Yes. It handles Dolby Vision IQ for picture and Dolby Atmos passthrough for sound, though the built-in speakers are modest and a soundbar or receiver gives better results.

The TV, its stand, a magic remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Is it bright enough for a bright living room?

It is best in a dim or controlled-light room. In direct sun or beside large windows, bright LCD and QLED sets will hold up better, and reflections are visible on the glossy panel.

What reviewers say

4.7 / 52,148 ratings

Owners rate it very highly, praising the contrast, gaming features and picture quality for the size. Complaints center on brightness in bright rooms, reflections from the glossy finish, and the risk of burn-in when used as a monitor.

What people mention

Picture qualityPraisedOwners describe deep blacks, rich color and strong contrast, especially in dim rooms.
BrightnessCriticisedReviewers say the 42-inch panel is dimmer than larger C2 sizes and struggles against strong daylight.
GamingPraisedBuyers praise low lag, 120 Hz and VRR working smoothly with consoles and PCs.
ReflectionsCriticisedThe glossy anti-reflective coating still shows lamps and windows in bright rooms.
Burn-inMixedSome owners worry about static images when using it as a monitor, though many report no issues.
SoundCriticisedBuilt-in speakers are called thin, with little bass, so most buyers add a soundbar.
