Our verdict

The brighter OLED, and the one to wall-mount — but on published specifications it is hard to separate from the cheaper C6.

What we could not verify

These were looked for on 2026-08-14 and not found on a source we would cite. They are listed rather than quietly omitted, so you can tell a missing figure from an absent feature.

Peak brightness LG markets "Brightness Booster Ultimate" and "up to 3x brighter" but publishes no nit figure, and gives no baseline for the multiplier. Not recordable.
Local dimming zones Per-pixel on OLED; LG lists "Pixel Dimming" rather than a zone count.
Input lag (4K/60) Not published.
Anti-glare coating LG references a reflection-free screen in marketing but does not list a coating specification.
