I’ve been an OLED gaming obsessive for a few years now, seeing the worth in enhanced distinction and deeper, way more pure blacks when enjoying video games at my pc. However within the seek for a beautiful OLED panel that fits my gameplay wants, I’m but to come throughout a mannequin extra particular than LG’s OLED Flex – significantly proper now, with a jaw-dropping 66% saving to be had.
This TV gained hearts when it debuted in 2023. In our LG OLED Flex evaluate, we topped it as the primary king of bendable gaming screens, and regardless of being categorised by LG as a TV, we discovered that it might tread the road between desk and TV cupboard very intently (42-inches is approaching the utmost measurement you’d need for a pc show, anyway).
Its measurement and distinctive bendable trick, which flexes by itself to 20 totally different curvatures, makes it splendid for a gamer chasing an immersive show (the included TV distant has a curvature button, permitting you to modify it on the fly). Even taking away the bending gimmick, you’ve received a very whole lot right here – a 42-inch TV for less than AU$1,695 (although we noticed Sony’s A90K 42-inch 4K OLED TV down to AU$1,599 throughout Amazon’s Mid-Yr sale).
I’m not going to mince phrases – that is such an excellent deal that I’m just about prepared to purchase it. The one issues holding me again are the truth that its flat-footed stand is kind of large, and the quantity of area a curved display screen occupies isn’t insubstantial. I’m additionally a bit tepid about switching over to a HDMI-based setup, on condition that my GPU has three Show Port connections and just one HDMI – however that’s just my desire on cables and it most likely doesn’t matter to many individuals.
The Flex can be solely obtainable as a 42-inch panel, however that’s actually nice for a desktop or a TV in a small lounge room. You wouldn’t even desire a bent display screen should you’re going to be seated removed from it, as you’ll lose a number of the visuals off to the aspect when seated at an angle.
