    Crypto spam has reached YouTube comments now … Sad !!

    I’d rather buy an LG C2 77” instead lol for that money

    There are QD Oled monitors out plus 45 Oleds out at cheaper price. Nobody cares about gimmick curve

    This is in no way unique or new. LG and Samsung showed curved oled tvs at CES ten years ago. They also already made some motorized curving units since then.

      Tell us about another TV that does the same thing… there isnt one, making this the definition of unique.

    I’m interested to know the white shark display piece at 3:13

    Does the curving mechanism seem robust or will it break?

    Screen flexing is overrated

    impressive tv! I hope samsung comes up with something similar with their own oled (qd oled)

      Samsung tv stand nowhere near what lg is doing

    What are the benefits of having a screen transition from flat to curved? Does LG really anticipate this will fill a dual role for being a monitor and regular TV?

  11. Toby Divine

    Looks very cool. I’ve been waiting for an OLED computer monitor for a long time, but I will have to wait until the price comes down. I have been using a curved monitor for a long time now and I actually do like it for the Ultra Wide screen monitors. It’s nice when can also be flat.

  12. Cheddar323

    December 26, 2022 at 3:39 pm

    That base for the TV/monitor is too thick not the best for computer setup purposes.

  13. Alfonso Rivera-Moctezuma Jr

    December 26, 2022 at 3:46 pm

    It’s actually a reasonable price for all it can do. I like the idea of the screen flexing from flat to curved. And the lights are a cherry on top. I’m glad to see this is not some concept that you would normally see at Consumer Electronic Show, instead an actual product you can buy at the stores.

    Wow let’s entertain the monkeys by giving them a useless monitor most didn’t ask for. I am still waiting for better oleds with 240hz that won’t make me go bankrupt.

    38″ 21:9 version please. Better yet, why don’t manufacturer’s produce 2:1 ratio screens? That would be a fantastic middle ground between 16:9 and 21:9 monitors, creating a nice balance between gaming/content watching and productivity.

  17. Joe Rurigi

    December 26, 2022 at 4:46 pm

    This is some innovative work LG… Please come back to mobile phones

  18. Marcus Supreme

    December 26, 2022 at 5:18 pm

    Tiny for a TV, and not wide enough to go curved really – more of an unnecessary fad.

  19. MN-KJR XII

    No USB Type C port?? Lame!!

    • sherri moquin

      December 27, 2022 at 4:31 am

      That tv does have a usb port did you watch the video 2:45

  20. Shady Gonzalez

    December 26, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    That is awesome! But I just bought a 42 inch C2 for $800. It would be hard to justify that extra cost no matter how cool it is

    • David Kim

      December 27, 2022 at 3:34 pm

      attaching a C2 to an adjustable mount and sound bar is still cheaper than this new flex monitor 😂

    • michael

      December 27, 2022 at 4:21 pm

      Time for new monitor! USE the 42″ for email….

  21. jerkychew899

    This must be why Samsung pushed its not-ready-for-prime-time 55″ Ark out the door before it was ready. I have an Ark and I hate it.

  22. NextNate03

    December 26, 2022 at 7:42 pm

    For that much money, it needs also a Display Port.

  23. The Communication Coach

    December 26, 2022 at 8:48 pm

    Cool! Ever since I was a boy, I dreamed of a room with a screen on one wall and a 35mm projector for full movie viewing, so I’m happy to see this; though I won’t be buying one anytime soon. Taking the road of better and better home viewing/movie experiences. Regular theaters can barely compete now, this is just one more nail.

  24. Logan C

    December 26, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    For this kind of monitors u need generally 2 desktops. One for the monitor and another one for you. That is how I use my 48 inch ultrawide Samsung.

    • Garrett Sheldon

    An over priced gimmick.

  28. 態凶人

    It’s a TV, how can you call this a monitor when it doesn’t have any DisplayPort input?

  29. T W

    December 27, 2022 at 7:26 am

    The bend is pretty good!
    Full immersion for FPS and
    No distortion for RTS like StarCraft.
    I was able to compare an Odyssey Ark with a flat Oled.
    But for this much money i’d like 48″ 240 Hz.
    And a 18:9 format would be amazing!

      December 27, 2022 at 4:53 pm

      I am waiting for a real 4k OLED with 120hz, HDMI 2.1, HDR, Dolby Vision, and VRR….

  30. King Thranduil

    Another gimmick

  31. Targetlockon

    Can’t wait til it is more affordable and you had more adjustability and reliability

    Another product for the media, gamers don’t care about this

    Curved monitors are gimmicks to trick deep pockets PC builders into spending more money. PC monitors are more immersive because it’s so close your face than a TV. This isn’t a review, it’s an Ad. 😅

    LGs WebOS isn’t very good. It’s, slow and buggy. I know it’s on my LG TV. Roku or Google TV is far better. LG TVs absolutely needs a streaming device. I have Apple TV hooked up to my LG TV.

    December 27, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    this or the Samsung ARK?

  37. Marshinz

    December 27, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    A good Console Monitor. As a G9 Neo owner 120hz is just too low. 🤷🏿‍♂

    Why TF would anyone care about their tv or monitor bending lol. I’d never spend that much just to watch a monitor bend 🤣

    LOVE IT. But, I wish that LG would not have stopped making their smartphones because they had the best audio and visual features of all the other brands.
