Our Verdict
LG C9 OLED
LG GX OLED
The LG C9 OLED and the LG GX OLED are two similar TVs with different designs. The GX is meant to be wall-mounted and comes with a dedicated wall-mount instead of a stand. It also has a wider VRR range, a Black Frame Insertion feature that flickers at 120Hz, and better speakers. On the other hand, the C9 comes with a stand and has better out-of-the-box color accuracy, but this may vary between units.
