Curry's still have the 55" version if you're in the UK.

I am looking to upgrade an old 65 Inch LG Plasma for an LG OLED to go along with the new Consoles.
I see the C9 at BB is currently $2,199.99 and the CX is $2,499.99. Is there $ 300 difference in the two Models? If so what are those benefits?
I will Play Halo, Fable and the upgraded version of Spider-man mostly with a bit of Netflix/Prime movie watching thrown in. I will not play PC games on it. I want the best version of the LG Oleds out of the two, money is not a huge hurdle just don't want to waste it.
Any insight/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Same. PQ should be through the roof. Perfect size for my gaming room. No HDMI 2.1 is my only concern.

Not sure I agree with this. All the reviews I've seen point to sonys having better accuracy out of the box. Not to mention better processing and superior motion.

Here you can compare both SDR and HDR factory calibration for all picture modes with A9G or A8H. CX is amazing in expert/cinema modes.
LG CX OLED review
LG CX is the successor to LG C9. In addition to HDMI 2.1 and webOS, LG CX features Filmmaker Mode, HGiG, three VRR systems & more

Sony A9G (AG9) OLED review
Sony's new flagship OLED has a fresh design, 4K, Android, and speakers in the OLED panel. Here's our full review of A9G (AG9)

Rtings measures accuracy in SDR only but they found out similar results.
Near black-handling was actually worse on AG9 than E9 (same processing as C9) in this comparison: Sony had flashing artifacts, don't know if they fixed it, vid is from December.

Edited my post above adding E9 vs AG9 comparison. Sony's near-black processing is actually worse but the smooth gradation option was better (this causes loss of details though). There is something wrong with smooth gradation on the LG X series - in comparison with C9 Vincent mentions that it works much worse, so maybe it's just a bug and LG will fix it.
Motion interpolation is better on Sony of course but it's useless for purists or for gaming anyway. So it depends on your needs. Upscalling also but again, it depends what you watch.
If Sony was better at everything then sure, they would be worth the premium price. But considering that LG is actually better in some areas and has more features, Sony doesn't look impressive. It's worth it only if you watch a lot of sports.

Ok, I wanna buy a C series LG OLED (the newest one available) early next year for next-gen consoles. Should I fear burn ins and image retention?

No. You'll be fine as long as you're not a moron who keeps news channels and static images on the screen 24/7.

I bought an LG CX a couple of weeks ago to be ready for next gen. I’m not worried about burn in or image retention as I’m not planning on playing fifa 24/7 for months.
Awesome image quality (I’m coming from a Samsung LED from 2014). My only complaint is that it seems to make me a bit dizzy sometimes, not sure why.

Maybe turn on Motion Pro for more motion clarity at the cost of some brightness.

Will be an OLED owner this upcoming week! My very first one. Just ordered the 48" CX. Got the 5 year burn in protection plan as well. Wish they had it in at the local Best Buy so I could have picked it up today. I'm stupid excited though. Can not wait to play Ghost of Tsushima and THPS 1+2 on it.

Had my CX 65 a week now. Here are my thoughts:
Astounding screen quality. The best I’ve ever seen. Unmatched.
Refresh rate is fabulous.
Out of the box settings are perfectly adequate. Haven’t felt the need to calibrate at all.
OS is clunky and lags behind Samsung.
Was terrifying to wall mount given how thin it is. Makes my new iPhone look chubby.
Not the most streamlined integration with a soundbar.
Lacking some apps.
As a pure gameplay tv it’s a masterpiece, but not the easiest as a multi use box. I’d go Android if you want the biggest amount of stuff, and best OS.

About to upgrade next week! Sayonara my dear plasma you served me well.
So LG C9 or CX? Anybody went trough this ordeal? Both happen to be in stock where I live...
I'm doing my research and HDTVTest channel and RTINGS reviews push me towards the C9 because of 48Gbps bandwith vs 40Gbps on the CX. Price is a factor also but on paper the C9 seems more future proofed for nvidia 3xxx series?

Only if you play the same content for very long periods of time, a few hours a day playing a different game should be fine. I'd make sure your room is dark too before considering OLED.

Not really:
New won't use whole 48Gbps bandwidth.
Both have all HDMI ports 2.1. CX has better motion handling than C9, but C9 is a little brighter, but in general they are very very similar, even physically you couldn't tell which is which. I'd say if C9 is a lot cheaper than CX, go for it, if not then get whichever. I think picking either wouldn't be a miss.

It boils down to HDR 12bit + DTS passthrough (C9) versus BFI 120hz (CX). Personally I would choose C9 but I'm not sensitive to motion at all so BFI is not much of a selling point for me, nor do I play retro games.

Most users that are buying tv's once a 5 or so years couldn't tell if they are sensitive to motion or not.

In my case I did a whole bunch of tests, and went through various scenarios etc. That's why I'm 100% on point with what to buy for myself but it will obviously not translate to others as well. People are a lot more different in their perceptions than it would seem at first glance, but you don't realise it unless you start some serious researching.

I've had my B9 for close to a year now. Unironically the best $1000 bucks I ever spent on tech.

Just dropping my hate in here I guess. My LG E9 is one of the best purchases I've ever made, and I can't stop singing OLED's praises now. Spendy, but very much worth it, and it feels like I won't need a new TV for many years as a result of how "future proof" this set is, despite the fact that I usually think the concept of trying to "future proof" anything is absolute nonsense.

12 bit is irrelevant to the decision of any of these tvs since they all are 10bit panels. The only benefit to 48Gbps is that you can do 4k@120hz 12bit 444 which even with the C9 isn't expected to do because.....it is a 10bit panel. Not one manufaacture is mentioning about 12bit any variation when it comes to the products for tvs and surround sounds. 40.1Gbps is all thats needed to get up to 4k@120hz 10bit 444 HDR. Your not getting 12bit 4k@120hz with a series X or PS5 and if you could do it with a GPU why? The new 3000 cards have been verified for 10bit 4k@120hz 444

Exactly and hides his comments on his YouTube page. Claims he is a professional calibrator but won’t show any credentials or any recommendations along with claiming he served in the military but that’s questionable and on top of that hides his face behind deadpool........yeah.

He once made a comparision video where he wanted to show that
SDR looks better than HDR. Of course the "HDR" movie in his movie looked worse.
Guess why...
...the movie he used was not even in HDR. He simply used the SDR-HDR-conversion
feature most HDR TVs have. Those of course suck and made the picture look worse.
Like using the TV in the dynamic picture preset.
In one of his videos he even recommended color settings around 100%. Which is just crazy.
Especially after his claims to a professional calibrator.
There is a reason why people over at the Audio Video Science Forum always joke about him and warn people
when someone brings his videos up.

This video confirms that full 4K/120 Hz is enabled on the C9. COnnected to Geforce 3080.
This makes me so happy.

We are go for 4K 120hz G-sync. Get your RTX 30's and HDMI2.1 cables!
Edit: I did as the LG presser said, contact local support to get the firmware update. They told me it doesnt work like that, you just have to wait until the fw update is officially released. wtf
