The LG OLED Flex is a new 42-inch TV in LG's 2023 OLED lineup with the unique ability to curve its screen, which accommodates different viewing styles and needs. It can go from being flat, so you can sit back and watch a movie, to a curve that goes all the way to 900R, a shape which LG calls the panel's 'Shield Design'. It's effectively a TV designed like a monitor. It has LG's α9 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K processor, webOS smart platform, eARC for audio passthrough, and supports every gaming feature at 4k @ 120Hz with its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.
It also has LG's patented Super Anti Reflection (SAR) feature, which promises less reflection when compared to the LG C2 OLED and LG G2 OLED. The TV has a fully height adjustable stand, which cannot be removed, that houses both the panel's curving mechanism and LG's Fusion Lighting RGB backlighting. Other features which are less common in TVs and are more typically found in monitors are its integrated gaming microphone as well as a fully customizable UX that lets you play games in smaller screen sizes than the screen's full 42-inches or have the screen split in half to view two separate content streams simultaneously.
We also tested the same display as a monitor, and you can read the full review here. However, keep in mind that the results aren't comparable between the two reviews because of our different testing methodology, and we also tested it with different settings for each review.
