The remote is nice and has a cursor option so you can use the remote like a mouse to select different options.
Most apps are available through their App Store and have had no problems installing my favorite streaming services.
Perhaps the best feature of this TV in my opinion is the built-in airplay so you are able to share the screen of your iPhone or Mac seamlessly without needing an Apple TV.
The 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR capabilities are nice for gaming on a PS5 or other console.

Photo 1: 68" width. Will need large tv stand to look "right".
Photo 2: Mid-day reflection handling.
Photo 3: Inputs are on the left side of the set. Thin screen, but a wider portion holds the internals.
First, the product.
The picture is fantastic. Viewing high bit-rate content such as Blu-rays is amazing. Ultra HD (2160p) HDR content is flawless and Full HD (1080p) SDR content is handled well. I like the upscaling of my Nvidia Shield for 1080p-> 4K upscaling over the TV’s, but most individuals will find no issues. The ability to turn off pixels for true black allows for an amazing contrast of color and blacks.
This TV supports high frame rate video game consoles with up to 120 FPS and offers a variable refresh rate (VRR) for gaming that isn’t locked at a steady 120/60/30 FPS. VRR ensures that games that support it will appear smoother and free of the screen tearing that is normally associated with frame rates that don’t match the TV. For PS5 owners, this means games that support a 40 FPS mode can be fully enjoyed on this TV. For PC owners, your 60-120 FPS experience will be similar to a good monitor, plus the amazing features of a top-tier TV. Also, input latency while in game mode is untouchable by non-OLED displays.
The TV speakers sound fine for daytime TV programming, but I utilize the TV’s eARC feature to send audio to my sound system. This feature works fine and is only a menu toggle away. Unfortunately, I can’t speak on the audio performance beyond this.
The set handles reflections well, but that doesn’t mean they disappear. This brings me to my one issue with this set, which is an issue shared with most OLEDs. OLED does not get extremely bright. If you intend to use this set in a living room with many windows, I suggest black-out curtains for the best viewing. If you cannot control the light in your room, I recommend considering a high-end LED TV instead, as they can get much brighter than OLEDs.
As for the TV’s operating system, I find the remote’s “motion as a mouse pointer” a little annoying sometimes, but hardly worth docking stars. Very usable system. The TV handles streaming 4K content from YouTube, Disney, Plex, and other services without issue. The perk of a major brand is knowing popular apps will work without a problem. This remains the case with this set.
Lastly, I must discuss my delivery experience. A special freight delivery service is needed for a delivery item of this size. NSD handled fulfillment. My experience was abysmal.
Delivery must be scheduled. A signature is required for delivery, and the item will be placed inside your door (allegedly). NSD was a no-call and no-show on the day of delivery, and they did not reach out to reschedule. I attempted to call NSD for rescheduling three times, was hung up on twice by their system while waiting, and the third time resulted in being told that the local office would call to reschedule. After three more days of no contact, I had to contact chat support another three times over three days, asking to be contacted to reschedule. The second chat said NSD would escalate my delivery due to a no-call no-show. The third chat let me know that had not been done but assured me that they would. The sixth time is the charm. Delivery tracking showed the TV in town for an entire week before delivery was “attempted” and another week before the company finally called to deliver (no rescheduling of delivery, just delivery with only a few minutes warning). I live on a military installation, and the delivery team said they were not able to come onto the installation. This can be the result of several things: a lie, laziness, criminal history of one or both delivery members, or drugs/weapons in the delivery vehicle. As the company did not call to reschedule, I was out of town when they called me for delivery. Fortunately, I had a coworker I trusted to accept delivery off-base and hold the TV at his home until I was able to return.
As the delivery was not fulfilled by Amazon and the product itself is great, I am not deducting from my rating for this experience. However, let this be a horror story of delivery for potential buyers of the 77” version. If you have to buy online because you are rural like me, select NSD as an absolute last resort. A $2,400 purchase can be quite stressful when no one wants to talk to you about its delivery.

This can be the result of several things: a lie, laziness, criminal history of one or both delivery members, or drugs/weapons in the delivery vehicle. As the company did not call to reschedule, I was out of town when they called me for delivery. Fortunately, I had a coworker I trusted to accept delivery off-base and hold the TV at his home until I was able to return.
As the delivery was not fulfilled by Amazon and the product itself is great, I am not deducting from my rating for this experience. However, let this be a horror story of delivery for potential buyers of the 77” version. If you have to buy online because you are rural like me, select NSD as an absolute last resort. A $2,400 purchase can be quite stressful when no one wants to talk to you about its delivery.
I hear a lot of issues people have with using a TV as a monitor, especially this one, but I haven't had any such issues. After setting it up properly, the only problem is the RWBG subpixel layout and having to turn it on along with my computer. But as someone that grew up with CRT monitors, having to press an extra button in addition to the power button is not even the slightest bit inconvenient. The thing that really kills this as a monitor is the subpixel layout.
RWBG adds noticeable fringing and bleed on text on OSes calibrated for RGB subpixels. Turning subpixel rendering compensation off makes it tolerable, but it's still much harder to read than on a normal monitor, and some games use it regardless of OS settings with no obvious way to adjust it. For visual content like movies and games it isn't noticeable at all, however.
As long as you aren't planning to read a whole bunch, or if you sit further back and make your text bigger so the subpixels don't mess with the text as much, there isn't a single issue with using this as a computer monitor.
I originally purchased the PG42UQ and PG48UQ instead, and got 2 dead 42's and one 48 that only survived for a few weeks before it spontaneously died. I'd like to compare some points on the C2 vs PG4*UQ:
- The box on the C2 is thicker, the Styrofoam completely protects the screen unlike on the PG4*UQ where there are tons of gaps, the Styrofoam on the corners is also much thicker preventing drops from affecting the corners like what happened to BOTH of my PG42UQs, and the accessories and feet are placed in sane location unlike the strange Styrofoam origami that was both the PG42UQ and PG48UQ.
- On both, the panel quality is fantastic. But on the C2, you can really tweak the settings until everything is perfect, especially if you have the service remote or other way to get into the service menu. This TV in particular can easily be color calibrated to make it shine in whatever environment you put it in with 22 point white balance adjustment, gamma curves, and multiple black/white level boosts and compensations.
- The glossy screen is a boon as it leaves the blacks completely dark, vs. a matte screen like on the PG4*UQ where there is significant light bleed and blooming.
- The C2's panel is much thicker and doesn't feel fragile compared to the dangerously paper-thin, basically unprotected edges on the PG4*UQ
- The power button housing on the bottom doesn't bend easily and feel like it's going to snap off like on the PG4*UQ. It's also much thinner and less obnoxious to look at. Man, I hate "gamer" stuff.
- In general, the design on the C2 is much more sleek, simple, and modern, allowing it to fit into the room better than the eye-catching "gamer" aesthetic on the PG4*UQ.
- Due to the thicker panel backplate and rear cover design, the C2 is easier to lift safely without feeling like you're going to damage it.
- All the cable managing on the C2 is in one spot on one side only, instead of top, right, and bottom.
- With the right settings in Game Optimizer mode, the C2 can reach the same point-for-point performance metrics as the PG4*UQ, with only the peak brightness not being as good (but that doesn't matter as it dips substantially for both the second a scene starts getting bright, after which the difference is negligible).
- The subpixel layout on the PG4*UQ is better for reading text. This is the only praise I have for it over the C2.
- The refresh rate can be overclocked on the PG4*UQ to a staggering 138Hz! Wow, how impressive. Unfortunately, the difference visually between 120Hz and 138Hz is basically nonexistent, as someone that has compared the C2 at 120Hz and PG48UQ at 138Hz. The response time is still fantastic on both units regardless of mode.
Overall, highly recommend this as both a TV and a monitor. I don't use the smart features and leave it disconnected from the network, and unlike with other smart TV platforms, the C2 doesn't annoy you and simply lets you use it without the smart feature bloat impeding you. And if I want to consume content and use the motion smoothing etc. features, they're there at a press of the button. I don't think all the massive number of problems with the ASUS units make the overclocking or other small extra features worth it; and at the same time, the C2 offers some nice features of its own that the PG4*UQ doesn't have. I would highly recommend it as a multimon replacement as I am, if you're willing to live with the subpixel layout and having to turn the TV on and off separately to the connected PC; do note there is a Windows-only, community-maintained companion app, which I can't use as I don't use Windows.

Installing a vesa wall mount was really easy. TV is lightweight compared to my old 2010 Sony LCD.
Image quality and brightness is totally crazy coming from an old TV...
PS5 image quality and fluidity is amazing !
Sound quality is great too with a lot more bass than my previous one. I will still plus my external 5+1 speakers at some point
So far, the only two bad points are :
- the webOS 22 home screen is holding too much stuff, some of which you can't remove
- the remote control (called magic... not sure what is magic there) is NOT ABLE to control any other device by default, and no keys can be re-assigned to special functions (beside quick app or input change). I can't believe I still have to switch 3 remotes to go from the cable TV to youtube to PS5... but I guess it's the same with other TV vendor's remote...
