The C series typically also get's better software support down the line. Also the C1 has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports instead of 2 on the B1. Plus HDR content will suffer quite a bit from the 580 nits the B1 can do compared to the C1 with 750 nits. That's around 30% more brightness. Only get the B1 if you're tight on budget.

I on the lookout for a new TV, either a LG B1 or LG C1, which is better for gaming? Was looking at the B1 first

I think it really doesn't matter but obviously C is overall better (slightly) 

 

I recommend checking out rtings.

Only difference I can see, is that the C1 is slightly brighter than the B1, but how much I don't know

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Thank you for the info! So the difference is pretty big then, was thinking about waiting until black Friday and check the prices then, my first choice was the LG CX but it's soiks is out and won't return to stock anymore 😞

The CX is getting more out of stock too here in the Netherlands but I don't really bother that much.

 

It's better not to cheap out so C1 is better overall. And which inch version are you looking? Maybe hold on till 42" OLED comes out?

DAC/AMPs:

Klipsch Heritage Headphone Amplifier

Headphones: Klipsch Heritage HP-3 Walnut, Meze 109 Pro, Beyerdynamic Amiron Home, Amiron Wireless Copper, Tygr 300R, DT880 600ohm Manufaktur, T90, Fidelio X2HR

CPU: Intel 4770, GPU: Asus RTX3080 TUF Gaming OC, Mobo: MSI Z87-G45, RAM: DDR3 16GB G.Skill, PC Case: Fractal Design R4 Black non-iglass, Monitor: BenQ GW2280

Maybe you're right, I'm looking for the 55" hoping it will get down in price on black Friday, it's still pretty expensive right now
