I currently have a 2016 55" B1 display. It has served me well but has a small cluster of dead pixels along the right edge of the display. I don't see them during normal viewing but they are there. It's also lacking in some of the features and improvements in technology obviously like 120Hz capability which would be nice to have for gaming. However I am not a wealthy man and am always looking to spend less on an upgrade. 65" would be nice but it's a little too rich for my liking even on older models (those you can still buy that is). I can still purchase a 55" CX for £999. A C1 for £1,149 (Only has 40gbps HDMI ports) and a G1 for £1,599 (which comes with a £799 G1 soundbar thrown in while stocks last that I could sell on BNIB to offset the cost). I understand the CX is slightly brighter than the C1 and also has 48gbps HDMI ports? Does the CX use an evo panel or is the brightness variation due to something else? The G1 also has a more advanced chipset and image processing than the CX from my understanding?
Considering the current market due to the pandemic I am expecting the 2022 range to come in more expensive this time around. I may be wrong but chip shortages and worlwide shipping fee's could make them quite expensive. We will just have to wait and see on that one though.
Anyhow I am waffling. Right now I am thinking last years CX or G1 but can't make my mind up. Especially as the G1 is £600 more expensive and I would need to try and flog off the soundbar to get some of the extra costs back.
Opinions?
