For anyone who has been to a Best Buy lately, or has experience with both of these monitors, I'm really curious if you know what the difference between these two panels is such that the 45 looks way better to be in person than the 32. I'm not talking about immersion or anything like that, pure picture quality.

The 32 has better pixel density and a faster refresh rate, both supposedly have some sort of anti-glare/matte finish. But the 45 almost looks glossy in-person but with no glare. Truly looks amazing. The 32 looks grainy AF. Any chance these actually have different coatings?

Caveat - this is based on the official LG demo that they are running, which are slightly different. But presumably they made it to look as good as possible. But same lighting, etc.

I recently gave a 32” monitor a shot and really struggled to use it comfortably. For example. Looking up to type in the search bar, etc. but obviously it was great when gaming. I regularly hear about people using 42” and 48” LG C series TVs as monitors. How does that even work? If you have a way to make the desktop only in the center. Doesn’t that then create specific burn in risk in the middle of the TV? Maybe my neck and eyes are just getting old!

Alternatively, I’m thinking of a setup where I mount a TV on the wall and have a monitor in front of it that can swing it of the way for gaming. Is this a setup that others have tried? Pain to turn on/off inputs? Suggestions?
