We bought and tested the LG 48 CX OLED as a computer monitor, and even though this is meant to be a TV, it offers impressive overall performance as a monitor. Its 4k resolution delivers an exceptionally clear image, the OLED technology displays perfect blacks, and it has very wide viewing angles. It's an excellent choice for gaming because it has native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support and it's G-SYNC compatible, the response time is near-instant, and it has a low input lag. Sadly, it doesn't get very bright because of its aggressive automatic brightness limiter (ABL), but if you want to place it in a bright room, it has outstanding reflection handling. It's a really well-built TV with a sleek design, but unlike most monitors, its stand doesn't allow for any adjustments.

Like any OLED, it has the risk of permanent burn-in. This could be an issue with constant static displays like a computer's interface, but if you use a screensaver when you're not using it or if you also use it for watching varied content, you may avoid, or at least reduce, the risk.

Our Verdict

8.4 Mixed Usage 

The LG 48 CX OLED is an impressive overall TV to use as a computer monitor. It's a great choice for any type of use, and it's excellent for gaming. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, native FreeSync support, and a near-instant response time. It has excellent viewing angles, great if you want to use it in an office setting or sit close to the screen. Sadly, the screen doesn't get bright enough to combat glare, but it has outstanding reflection handling. Lastly, it's a great choice for watching movies since it has an infinite contrast ratio.

Note: This isn't comparable to the 8.8 score the LG CX received in our TV review because of different scoring methods between monitors and TVs.

PROS
  • Displays perfect blacks.
  • Extremely wide viewing angles.
  • FreeSync VRR support.

The back of the LG 48 CX OLED has a premium look to it. The top half is made from a textured metal, and the bottom half where the inputs are is solid plastic. It can be VESA-mounted, but you need to manually take off the stand as it doesn't have a quick-release button like some monitors. Lastly, cable management is done through the stand.

The LG 48 CX OLED is fairly thin on its own and doesn't stick out much if you wall-mount it. However, it gets much thicker with the stand attached.

9.0Build Quality 

Outstanding build quality. The LG 48 CX OLED is mainly made out of metal and the back of the stand and the panel holding the inputs are both made out of solid plastic. The entire TV is solid and there isn't much flex throughout.

The LG 48 CX OLED has just okay peak brightness, similar to most OLED TVs. Its automatic brightness limiter (ABL) is slightly aggressive, so the brightness significantly drops at the 100% window. This means that a white webpage or document isn't bright enough to combat glare. This doesn't get as bright as the LG CX OLED TV because this was tested in 'PC' mode, which is what we expect most people to have it in while using it as a monitor. If you want to use it for gaming or watching movies, you can use the other pictures modes and the TV will be brighter.

We measured the peak brightness after calibration in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC', which disables some picture settings, including Peak Brightness. Outside of 'PC' mode in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with Peak Brightness set to 'High', most scenes are between 248 to 343 cd/m², and we got 178 cd/m² in the 100% sustained window test and 273 cd/m² in a real scene.

If you want the brightest image possible and don't care so much about image accuracy, we were able to 369 cd/m² in the 10% peak window test in 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode outside of 'PC' mode before calibration.

Update 12/08/2020: We measured the HDR peak brightness with Dynamic Tone Mapping enabled. It doesn't affect the screen brightness all that much, but enabling it increases the real scene peak brightness. However, we left the results as is because we normally test monitors without any sort of tone mapping setting enabled.

Decent HDR peak brightness. The LG 48 CX OLED gets bright enough to make small highlights pop in HDR. However, it quickly loses its brightness as larger, bright areas cover the screen due to the very aggressive ABL.

We measured the brightness with OLED Light at its max and Peak Brightness set to 'High' in 'Game HDR' Picture Mode, which is what we expect most people to use while using this as a PC monitor to get the lowest input lag possible. We got the brightest image possible with these settings as seen in the 2% peak window test. The 'Cinema' Picture Mode has a higher peak brightness, as seen in the TV review.

The LG 48 CX OLED has remarkable gray uniformity. There aren't many visible uniformity issues throughout, and in near-dark scenes, there's some minor vertical banding, which is common with OLED displays. The gray uniformity is better than the LG CX OLED TV we reviewed, but this is something that varies between units.

The LG 48 CX OLED has mediocre out-of-the-box color accuracy. Most colors are slightly inaccurate and the color temperature is warm, giving the image a red/yellow tint. White balance is off, which affects the shades of gray, and gamma doesn't follow the target curve well, so most scenes are too dark, except for really bright scenes, which are over-brightened. We measured this in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC'.

Note that the LG CX OLED has a much higher color accuracy before calibration, and this is partially due to the different color targets in testing between monitors and TVs. Color temperature is also different between this 48 inch model and the 55 inch TV we tested, but this can vary between units.

The LG 48 CX OLED has an amazing color accuracy after calibration. Any remaining inaccuracies aren't visible without the aid of a colorimeter, and gamma follows the curve much better, except bright scenes are still slightly over-brightened. We measured this in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC'.

The LG 48 CX OLED has an impressive SDR color gamut, but not as good as most monitors. It covers almost all of the sRGB color space used in most content, but it has limited coverage of the Adobe RGB color space used in photo editing. We measured this in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC'.

Very good HDR color gamut. The LG 48 CX OLED has excellent coverage of the commonly-used DCI P3 color space, but the coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space is more limited. We measured this in the 'Game HDR' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC'.

Note that this TV appears to have less coverage of the DCI P3 color space compared to the 55 inch LG CX OLED we tested on our TV test bench. This is due to the way we calculate DCI P3 coverage. On TVs, we estimate the DCI P3 coverage based on the Rec. 2020 measurements, but on Monitors, we measure the actual coverage. The 68.5% Rec. 2020 measurement we took on the 48" CX corresponds to a 97% DCI P3 coverage if calculated as a TV, which is also what we calculated on the 55" CX.

Unlike the LG CX OLED, the LG 48 CX OLED has some image retention, even 10 minutes after displaying a high-contrast test image. We didn't experience any temporary image retention with the 55 inch we tested in the TV review, but this could vary between units.

Note that this is different from the permanent burn-in OLED TVs may experience. Read more about the long-term burn-in risk here.

9.0Gradient

The LG 48 CX OLED has remarkable gradient handling. There's some banding in dark red, green, and gray, but this shouldn't be noticeable with most content. We measured this in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC'.

Note that this scores higher than the 8.6 in the TV review because the gradient score is subjectively assigned in monitors.

7.0Text Clarity 
Sub-Pixel Layout 
 WBGR

Update 09/22/2020: We received reports of people noticing vertical red lines appearing when displaying yellow or green. We recreated this issue and updated the text; see below for details.

The LG 48 CX OLED has decent text clarity. Since this TV uses a WBGR sub-pixel layout with four sub-pixels, all four are never turned on at the same time, and you can see the alternative pixel photo here. Only the blue and white pixels are turned on with a white background, as seen here, which affects the way text is displayed. Enabling ClearType (top photo) slightly improves the clarity on the diagonal lines of the letters R and N, but at 100% scaling, it might still be difficult for some to see text. Below is a list of text clarity photos at 125, 150, and 300% scaling with and without ClearType enabled.

ScalingClearType OnClearType Off
100%ClearType OnClearType Off
125%ClearType OnClearType Off
150%ClearType OnClearType Off
300%ClearType OnClearType Off

Although Windows recommends to use 300% scaling on a PC, text is just way too big to be used by most people.

We received reports of the TV displaying vertical red lines when there are solid areas of yellow and green. This happens when the TV is in 'PC' mode and displaying chroma 4:4:4. Even though putting it out of 'PC' mode to display 4:2:2 helps reduce the issue, it makes text more blurry. We still recommend leaving the TV in 'PC' mode to get clear text, but you may notice these red lines. You can see the photo here.

Like most OLED TVs, the LG 48 CX OLED has a near-instant response time. There's some overshoot in the darker transitions, but this shouldn't cause too many artifacts. Unlike most monitors, there isn't any overdrive setting. Note that we needed to put the TV in chroma 4:2:0 subsampling to achieve 4k at 120Hz, due to technological limitations.

We measured this in the 'Game' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC', and the pictures are taken in the 'Expert (Dark Room) Picture Mode. Since OLED TVs have a near-instant response time, we don't expect the picture mode to change the response time.

Even though this scores the same as the LG CX OLED TV review, the measurements aren't comparable between monitors and TVs. We calculate the response time and overshoot in different ways between the two.

The LG 48 CX OLED has an incredible response time at 60Hz. There's only some minor overshoot in the darker transitions again, but this doesn't cause much motion blur. Like with the response time at its max refresh rate, the measurements are taken in the 'Game' Picture Mode with the input label set to 'PC', but the pictures are from the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode.

10Image Flicker 
Flicker-Free No
PWM Dimming Frequency

The LG 48 CX OLED doesn't use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), but there's a slight dip in brightness every 8 ms, which coincides with the 120Hz refresh rate. Most people shouldn't notice this. Note that the scaling of the graph isn't the same as the graph in the TV review, so although it may seem there's more flicker on this unit, it's the same between the 48 inch and 55 inch units we reviewed.

Update 12/08/2020: We updated the TV to firmware 03.11.30 and retested the input lag at its max resolution of 4k @ 120Hz. This decreased the input lag because it was originally measured at 4k @ 60Hz.

The LG 48 CX OLED has outstanding low input lag, but it's not as low as some other 120Hz monitors, like the Dell Alienware AW3420DW. It increases at 60Hz, but most people shouldn't notice the difference. We measured this in 'Game' mode with the input label set to 'PC', which are the settings required to achieve the lowest input lag possible. Outside of 'Game' mode in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with the input lag set to 'PC', we measured an input lag of 15.2 ms at 4k @ 120Hz.

Note that this score isn't comparable to the 8.8 score the LG CX OLED received in the TV review because of the different way we score input lag in TV and monitor reviews. However, the individual results are comparable between the two because we measure input lag the same way.

The LG 48 CX OLED has a ton of extra features compared to other monitors, such as a built-in smart operating system. There's a great selection of apps available to download on LG's WebOS, so you don't have to turn on your PC to stream content. There are also built-in speakers, and it has other features like motion interpolation and the ability to remove judder, which most monitors don't have.

On-Screen Display (OSD)

See the settings page for the TV here.

Controls

There's a single button underneath the center of the screen. It allows you to turn the TV on/off, change inputs, volume, and channels. Note that unlike most monitors, the LG 48 CX OLED doesn't turn off or go in standby mode when your computer is shut down or goes to sleep, so you'll need access to either the power button, or the remote.

Compared To Other Monitors

The LG 48 CX OLED delivers excellent overall picture quality, and even though it's a TV, it's a great choice to use as a PC monitor. Not many monitors on the market have an OLED screen like this, which displays perfect blacks and has wide viewing angles. Even though its input lag is higher than most monitors, it has an extremely quick response time. Regardless, if you're worried about the permanent burn-in risk, it's still better to get an LED monitor for much cheaper, like the LG 27UK650-W. Also see our recommendations for the best monitors for multimedia use, the best gaming monitors, the best 34+ inch monitors, and the best TVs to use as PC monitors.

ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQ

Although the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQ and the LG 48 CX OLED score similarly overall, they're very different types of displays. The ASUS is an IPS monitor with a slightly higher refresh rate, lower input lag, and higher peak brightness. It allows for ergonomic adjustments, which the LG doesn't offer, and its smaller screen results in a higher pixel density, so images and text look sharper. On the other hand, the LG has an OLED panel that can produce perfect blacks, making it better for dark rooms. It also has wider viewing angles, faster response time, and it supports HDMI 2.1.
