Well, I wanna know if, it is dangerous to buy a LG OLED CX in 2021 because it's getting cheaper since the LG OLED C1 launch.

I'm curious about the OLED burn-in... Is it safe to buy an old OLED generation??

I'm pretty convinced to buy the CX today or maybe the C1 next year, when the C2 or C11 will likely be released.

It's not a good idea anyway, these TVs only get 450 nits which doesn't offer that much color definition compared to other 2000nits LCDs. I've avoided them due to burn-in from static elements. Some OLEDs can "refresh" to attempt to clear this up but doing this slowly reduces peak brightness and degrades the lifetime of the TV.

oh man! thank you for answering me...

Anyway, I've heard about the best black contrasts ever that this kind of TV offers, and that make me feel so curious.

Well, I don't care about brightness nits colors, but I'm grateful for your advice... But the most important thing is if I'd take at least about 5 years without burn-in problems hehe

I recommend doing your research, as generally speaking OLEDs are held in higher regard but an LED may be a better option based on your specific viewing environment. Rtings.com is a great place to start.

Also, there are many awesome YouTube channels that give in-depth comparisons and reviews of different tv models and display technologies.

That said, I picked up my LG CX late last year and have been blown away by it. Worth noting that it supports Dolby Vision, which is amazing if you watch a lot of Netflix and/or Disney+. It also includes 4(!) HDMI 2.1 ports, which you'll want to get the most out of your PS5 or Xbox Series X. It even supports Freesync and Nvidia GSync.

Fair criticism that OLEDs don't get as bright, but this is a non-issue if your viewing environment is typically dark, which mine is. Also, OLED technology has improved greatly and burn-in is not the issue that it once was. I again recommend Rtings.com's burn-in test....you'd basically have to have your tv on for at least 10 hours everyday while viewing something like CNN or ESPN to ever possibly have any issues.

I'm gonna take a look at some rtings.com reviews. I'd like to buy a C1, next year because of price getting cheaper as the new C2 or C11 gets released at the same time. I'm pretty curious about deep blacks and contrasts from OLED tvs.

The C1 input lag is arounds 10ms running games at 4k + HDR with Game Mode activaded. This is amazing!

But I need to take a look to some electronics that I really need to choose. I already have a PS5 and a Xbox Series S. Maybe my priority is buying a Xbox Series X. But I don't know... The Series S is already capable of 120hz.

Well, What is the most important thing right now? The Series S to Series X upgrade or the MU6100 4k to a CX/C1 upgrade?

I don't really know yet

I've been actually looking into getting a C1 OLED sometime before the end of summer. Just need to get a proper stand for it before I get the TV, though.

@joaopedro7: I have had a LG B9 for a year now, absolutely no issues whatsoever, and the many people I know with OLED's have had the same experience.

@girlusocrazy:450 nits?... Thats absolute rubbish, at 2000 nits on LCD?... Which LCD?... Unless its a Samsung QLED which top out at 1800 and that's the flagship which costs more than a OLED. Every other LCD on the market is around 700-1100 nits.

My 65" LG B9 is rated at 620 nits and my 55" Q8F hits 1180 nits when I calibrated then both.

It is not 2x the image quality, Nits on a a LCD HAVE to be drastically better to match a OLED. a OLED with 500 nits is the equivalent of a LCD with FALD at 800 nits in terms of image quality as your perceived contrast difference is influenced by the black levels.

All I am going to say is there is a reason why reviewers and people with money get OLED's even after testing a OLED, the nit numbers don't negate the downsides of LCD.

The CX OLEDs are SUPERB TV's especially for gaming due to the lack of input lag and them being GSYNC. Go for them you will not regret it and they are not 450nits, the are hitting 750-800 nits.
