Our Verdict
LG C8 OLED
LG G2 OLED
The LG G2 OLED is a lot better than the LG C8 OLED. There's not much difference in picture quality - they both display perfect inky blacks with perfect uniformity in a dark room. The G2 is a lot brighter, though, especially in HDR, and bright highlights stand out much better. The G2 also has more advanced gaming features, including variable refresh rate support. On the other hand, the C8 is a bit more versatile, as it includes a stand, whereas the G2 doesn't come with a stand, as it's designed to be wall-mounted.
