I absolutely love my C1, and I've had two family members buy OLEDs after seeing mine.

I'm thinking about getting the C1 or the C2 (as an upgrade to my old LG)
Having the C1, is there anything about the C2 you feel you are missing? the increased HDR nits and general light levels are what are interesting for me.

It's just twice the price, so feel I can't justify it over the c1

The C2 is pretty similar in performance but actually loses a few features like black frame insertion on 120hz content. If you buy a 55" or larger C1 that was made towards the end of 2021 or anytime in 2022 it's likely going to have the same EVO panel as the C2. The C2 will likely get software updates longer than the C1, but LG has been pretty good about updating their OLEDs for a few years so it might not matter. You can't go wrong with a C1. The only thing about the C2 that I'd prefer is the stand puts the TV a bit higher off the table, so you can put a sound bar or center channel in front of it more easily.

I'm looking at the 77" for reference, and it will be wall mounted so the stand doesn't matter to me.

I'm only looking for the picture quality, and brightness.
Is the EVO panel marked on the products in some way (serial code or whatnot)

Same here. I bought a 65" Roku QLED and I thought it looked fantastic but it had 3 small dim spots on it that annoyed me and I couldn't un-see. I ended up returning it to Amazon but since I bought via a Prime Day deal there were issues with the refund. In the end, through some screwy customer service they ended up just refunding the price of the TV I paid and then gave me a gift card and credit for the difference in price with the expectation that I would buy the same TV again (it was like $350 more after the sale). But I was able to apply that $350 for the LG G1 55" and got that instead.

I was amazed at the picture quality difference. It's a stunning panel with absolutely no visible flaws.

Also very happy with my C1. Gonna keep this thing til the wheels fall off, or until home streaming starts making demands it can’t match (Dune was how I convinced my wife to upgrade. That scene with the worm rising on our old tv was just black. The C1 showed the deep detail like we’d seen in cinema)

Switching from my old, cheaper 4k to the C1 was almost like switching from CRT to an HDTV for the first time.

After my 65” Samsung bit the dust I got the C1. I’ll never buy anything else ever again.
