Our Blodgett family room has built-ins for entertainment stuff... yeah, built for 4:3 20 years ago. I was wildly lucky to find a perfect fit for the TV/monitor using the Sharp Aquos LC-37 when we moved in years ago. It was getting flaky though and I have been searching for a replacement. With careful measuring, basically nothing of quality would fit well for the last couple of years. Then at CES '21 LG announced a 2nd gen to their vaunted OLED lineup ~ and it was to include a 42" version targeted as a desktop monitor for gamers. Huzzah, would it fit? Yes, perhaps, but barely. I waited for 15 months with alerts from a number of spots for availability - nothing. Last week Amazon alerted me and I jumped on the buy. It arrived today and I decommissioned the Sharp and installed the LG. I had to rejigger some stuff and even debug a failed fiber optic connection to the AV receiver through a wall (pita). I also had to reprogram the universal remote we use, obviously. All done. This TV is completely awesome ~ 2nd gen 4K/HDR OLED from LG is the bomb. I didn't let it go on the network (webOS) and we don't use it's apps, we use Roku ~ the screen itself is worth the price ($1500) of admission. I am so lucky, and so good; it fits perfectly and we scored 5" additional diagonal due to current "no bezel" panels ~ that's almost 30% additional screen area! Highly recommended.
