Its just a Question of Time and the C Series ( so the LG 42" C Series OLED TV ) gets the Heatsink and MLA too
The G Series has MLA
The M Series has MLA
the 2023 Z Series has MLA
The LG Display OLED Panel Monitors have MLA also since 2023
From the Flatpanels Article from early 2023 ( CES 2023 )
"MLA will later come to all panels.."
"MLA is initially applied only to 55, 65 and 77-inch 4K OLED TV panels as well as 77 and 88-inch 8K OLED TV panels, said LG Display, adding that it has the "aim of extending it to all lineups down the road"

So whe must wait till the C Series gets also the MLA and i think that hapens when the G Series gets PhoBlu / PHOLED with much luck in 2025 ( maybe Hybrid PhoBlue / FloBlue ) but most likely in 2026 and then the C Series gets also the MLA and so also the LG 42" C
So its a waiting Game
But i hope that the C Series gets the MLA earlyier and i hope LG goes also on the TV side from WRGB to RGB like on the 2025 LG Display OLED Monitor Panels
I also wait for an 42" 4K MLA OLED Panel or an 42" 4K QD-OLED Panel ... my 2020 LG 48" CX OLED TV that i use since June 2020 as a PC Monitor comes slowly in his Age and i want much more HDR Brigthness ( especialy in 25 % and 50 % Window ) than my 48" CX can output so an 42" 4K MLA OLED or an 42" 4K QD-OLED is the next step for me ... untill then i wait
If the next G series come with blue phosphorus oled + rgb layout, damn It will rekt everything apart and my G80SD purchase will be obsolete. Please 2026 so we can enjoy our monitors bit more haha
why should they ? 42' is a entry level segment, and their G-series is the top line. It makes little sense from a TV perspective. Ppl who want to buy a 42' G-series are most likely want to use it as a high-end monitor (like you) and they do not want to make any internal competition with their own monitor business
G is not the top. I think m is
I don't think LG would bother unless Samsung went and made QD-OLEDs in that size then maybe?
