LG OLED C1 vs. LG OLED C2: Which High-End TV Should You Buy?

It’s transition time in the TV market, as new 2022 models are just starting to become available. Meanwhile “old” 2021 TVs are still on sale and will remain cheaper than their replacements for as long as supplies last — which could be months. That brings up a dilemma for TV shoppers: Should you buy last year’s TV now at a discount while you still can, or pay extra for the new version?

For the last year or so my favorite high-end TV for the money was the LG C1 OLED.

I just reviewed the new version, predictably called the C2. As I said in the LG C2 OLED review, my advice for most TV shoppers now is to buy the C1 from 2021 instead. It’s £500 to £1,000 less expensive, depending on what size you want, and any differences in picture quality, design or features are not worth the extra money.
