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?

Re: LG Oled Comparison
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.

Re: LG Oled Comparison
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.
