Our Verdict
LG G1 OLED
LG C2 OLED
The LG C2 OLED and the LG G1 OLED deliver a nearly identical experience overall, but the C2 is slightly brighter with some scenes. There's a big difference in design, though, as the G1 is designed to wall-mount flush with your wall, helping it to blend into your surroundings, so it doesn't come with a stand. The C2 is a bit more versatile, as it also comes with a stand.
