Our Verdict
LG C1 OLED
LG C5 OLED
The LG C5 OLED is a big improvement over the older LG C1 OLED. The C5 is far brighter in HDR content, and can get almost twice as bright in SDR. This helps the C5 to be far more colorful, and on top of that, it's also more accurate in SDR out of the box. The C5 also has better image processing and is the better gaming TV due to having 4k @ 144Hz support on all four HDMI ports; the C1 is limited to 120Hz. Overall, the C5 is a noticeable upgrade in picture quality.
