50 inch LG UM7300
Th 50 inch TV has a VA panel and not an IPS. I have recently bought the 50 inch…
How would the scores change considering this difference in the following areas? Which scores would improve and which would become worse?
6.3 Movies 8.1 TV Shows 7.9 Sports 8.4 Video Games 6.2 HDR Movies 7.7 HDR Gaming 8.5 PC Monitor

Turn off dynamic contrast, turn off peak brightness, set contrast <75 and ABL is basically nullified at the expense of brightness. Then calibrate and if you want a precise brightness level (you mention 100 cd/m²) you can achieve it by setting the proper OLED light value.

65inch C9 owner here. I tried the same scene streamed from Apple TV 4K (HDMI 2.0a) in Dolby Vision with factory ‘Home Cinema’ setting and there was no flashing at all. Assuming they have the same panel on CX as C9 (which honestly i doubt…my speculation is that LG has changed something about their production process) this should not be a panel issue and must be related to something else. I would recommend trying to record the TV using your phones’ slo-mo video camera. Also, keep in mind the darkness in that scene is most likely “near-black” and not perfectly black. It could be worth trying to run a few grey screen gamuts close to black (like 1% grey) to see if the same thing happens there. Dark screen flashes were very much a thing in the past but they usually happened with heavily compressed content and i am assuming all the comments are from people who pay for the fancy version of Netflix subscription. Either way, hope you guys can figure it out but I wanted to share my results in case it helps

Use lower oled light settings for day-to-day viewing and avoid static, oversaturated content and you are golden even with the older red subpixel sizes

Based on uniformity numbers vs. B9,C9,E9 it could be that LG has relaxed their panel production quality for CX. Speculation.

Personally i think the biggest differentiator could have been including a nextgenTV (ATSC 3.0) tuner in the new model to attract people interested in future-proofing but LG missed the boat there. C9 on sale appears to be the better investment currently.

The difference (if there is any) would be extremely minute. Burn-in results from absolute activity of the subpixel (oled light setting and the content being watched affect this the most) not the relative balance of the subpixels (which is what color temperature controls). Personally, i would argue even if it was a consideration, which again it isn’t, you should enjoy the TV to the best of its ability within reason and choosing the color temp that looks the best to you is most definitely ‘within reason’.
