I have been using a 48" LG C3 for the last couple years now and while I enjoy it, I do find it's lacking monitor features.
The 4k 120Hz is just not as responsive/fast as I would like it to be.
For a time I was eyeballing the Aorus 48" OLED but waiting for the price to.come down a little bit. Now it doesn't seem like they're making a new one so I've been casually looking for other options.

Yesterday I came across the KTC G48P5S which looks like it checks all the boxes:
48" OLED
DP 1.4 input
138Hz

But I cannot find any reviews.
Anyone know anything about KTC or think it's a good shift?
Mostly for gaming, some light photo editing and document editing

i would save up abit more and carry on using the c3 because there really good Oled monitors out there now with new features. Aorus 48" OLED is good and size is wow but most new oled monitors come with cooling feature at back of monitor. This monitor come out when oled gaming monitors just getting started and popular 2020-2021. So risk of burn in is more on this monitor. Newer ones that coming out 2022-2024 are ones to get because of the features that reduce risk of burn in and such.

That C3 is a TV not a monitor correct?
A TV usually has a lot higher input lag, if you turn on game boost it drops it to about 12ms

Can you provide info on what new ones are coming out? The KTC seems to be the only 16:9 48" out nowadays.
I know that the Aorus is a bit old, hence wanting a newer one but it doesn't seem like they're making that form factor anymore.

Yes it's a TV, but at the time of purchase the Aorus was ringing in at $1,700 and the C3 was only $1000 which is why I went with that one.
I have it set for game mode, and for adaptive refresh with Gsync, running at 119 Hz (recommended from multiple sources over 120) but compared to my older 144Hz smaller.monitor it feels incredibly stuttery and not smooth, I understand 144 is more than 120 but it should be pretty darn smooth at 120...
