Our Verdict
LG C9 OLED
LG C5 OLED
The LG C5 OLED is a bit of an upgrade over the LG C9 OLED. If you're thinking about upgrading, the most significant difference you'll notice is an increase in brightness. The C5 can handle more glare in a bright room thanks to its higher SDR brightness. HDR is more vivid and impactful, with brighter specular highlights and higher full-frame brightness, so those bright outdoor shots really stand out the way the content creator intended. The C5 also has slightly better color reproduction.
