Our Verdict
LG C1 OLED
LG G2 OLED
Although there aren't many differences between them overall, the LG G2 OLED is a bit better than the LG C1 OLED. The G2 is a lot brighter, especially when displaying small, bright highlights in HDR. The G2 has better smart features, including hands-free voice control, and the webOS smart interface on the G2 supports multiple user profiles. Finally, the G2's HDMI ports support 48Gbps bandwidth instead of the 40Gbps limit on the C1.
