is OLED worth the price over QLED?

Now it looks like I am going to resort to buying this here

Only prices I'm seeing are $1500+. Not worth it at that price. For $100, you can get a brand new LG CX 55". Superior TV in virtually every way.

I heard the CX is actually a downgrade well at least for gaming  wise and the C9 is better. That might be a reason why they still are so much. Plus the 9 models apparently have Gsync on them

CX has GSYNC, VRR, and Freesync, BFI 120hz, and a host of other gaming features.

CX actually has better picture processing than the B9 or C9 especially on upscaling to 4k, but most people seem to gloss over that. Yes, the B9/C9 has full HDMI 2.1 48Gbps and the CX "only" has 40Gbps, so the B9/C9 can do 4k/120 4:4:4 at 12-bit, while the CX can "only" do 4k/120 4:4:4 at 10-bit. 

Bear in mind, 10-bit color is designed for HDR1000, while 12-bit color is designed for HDR10000 (that's ten thousand). 1000 nits of brightness is very bright. 10,000 nits of brightness is blinding, and no commercially available TV can hit this brightness level.

The C9/CX have a peak brightness of roughly 700-nits, and the B9 hits around 450-nits, so if we do the math... 4k/120 4:4:4 at 10-bit is more than enough to push the B9, C9, or CX to its full potential. 12-bit, while nice, is complete and utter overkill.

 

So, to recap, the LG CX is an upgrade over the B9/C9. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Might as well

 

Wait..... that model is only 48"

 

Never mind they have a 55" for 1700. SO its 200 more. this shit getting pricey. THis better last like 10 years I say

 

The BX is 1500

OK....

 

I didn't ask this question before as I only put in a cheap model of a QLED.  I have to decide between these 2 TV's

 

An LG C9 (for 1500)

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-55-class-oled-c9pua-series-2160p-smart-4k-uhd-tv-with-hdr/6338498.p?skuId=6338498

 

Or a Samsung Q80T for 1200

 

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-qled-q80-series-4k-uhd-tv-smart-led-with-hdr/6402394.p?skuId=6402394&ref=212&loc=1

 

Now is their a Huge difference between these 2 now? Now that I chose a much more expensive QLED model. Is there a real notable difference between the 2 in picture quality?
