One of LG's most popular OLED TVs to use as a computer monitor is on sale. For a limited time, LG's online store is offering the 42" LG Evo C6 4K OLED TV for just $899.99 with free shipping after a $500 off instant discount. LG calls this a "guaranteed Black Friday price". Better yet, if you purchase it from LG, you get a free Xbox wireless controller with purchase, including the Breaker Edition colorways. Simply add it to the same order as the TV. The smaller 42" size allows the TV to double as an excellent gaming PC monitor In fact, I'm doing this myself right now.

If you're looking for the best gaming TV, the LG C6 OLED should top your list. The C6 is LG's current 2026 model in the LG's C-series OLED TV lineup. The C6 improves upon last year's C5 model with upgraded 165Hz max refresh rate (vs 144Hz) and a new Alpha 11 Gen 3 processor with better AI processing.
LG's C-series OLED TV has been our favorite TVs for console gaming for many years thanks to its outstanding image quality, low input lag, and high refresh rate. This is also one of the best TVs you can get for streaming 4K HDR content in its intended glory. OLED TVs boast superior image quality compared to most other TVs thanks to their near-infinite black levels, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times . The C6 is also equipped with LG's proprietary Evo panel, which is significantly brighter and offers a wider color gamut than traditional W-OLED TVs.
C6 is equipped with modern gaming features that make it a perfect complement to current generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, including a native 120Hz panel that can be pushed to as high as 165Hz, HDMI 2.1 inputs, adaptive sync with variable refresh rate, and auto low latency mode.
Is the LG C6 OLED TV a good TV for the Nintendo Switch 2?
Despite being a current generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2 has lax TV requirements compared to the PS5 or Xbox Series X. When the Switch is connected to its dock and a television, it is only capable of outputting a 4K resolution signal at up to 60 frames per second. Oddly, it doesn’t even get VRR when docked – that’s reserved for handheld mode only. All that aside, the Switch 2 will still benefit from an OLED TV's overall image quality, just like how the Switch OLED looks better than the original Switch, despite the fact that the screens share similar specs.
The 42" LG OLED TV makes a great PC gaming monitor
I have been using an LG OLED TV as one of my main gaming PC monitors for several years now. My first such monitor was the LG CX OLED which was released back in 2020. This is a much less expensive route compared to buying a dedicated OLED gaming monitor, which can cost well over $1,000 for this size. A 42" monitor with 4K resolution averages out to a pixel density of about 105ppi, which is great for both gaming and text-heavy productivity tasks. The LG C6 also displays chroma 4:4:4 properly for text clarity.
