LG Oled Comparison

Post by scottmog »

Like most of you (I'm assuming) I use mostly crts for my media.

I'm looking for some sort of comparison between the C1, C2 and C3. I'm just looking for a 42-48 inch screen. Mostly using it for dreamcast and newer type systems, a bit of PC and possibly retro content through a retrotink 5x.

My question is there a massive reason to go for the C3 or will the C1 / C2 handle stuff fine?

The C1 has better BFI implementation, pretty much.

You cant go wrong with those 3, so just choose whichever you find at the best price.

Pick the C1 over the C2, and probably over the C3. It's not just the BFI implementation, newer LG OLEDs add an extra frame of lag for 4:3 signals, and the C1 does not.

If you start including newer and newer models, then the brightness advantages start mattering more and more, and brightness matters a lot when you start doing BFI and retro effects like scanlines and CRT mask effects. All of these effects work by turning *off* or dimming pixels, which can only reduce brightness.

However, are you sure that you even have a choice? The current model is the C5, you can still find the C4 on liquidation, but anything older is impossible to buy new. And getting a used OLED TV is risky.
