With the very good deals available at the moment, I'm considering upgrading my 65" C8 to a 77" C1.
Best I can judge, the C1 upgrade will add in order of importance (to me):
Is there anything else I should be factoring in? Fwiw - the TV is paired with an LG SP11RA soundbar. Mentioning this in case there's anything else in play in there but I don't think there is?
In monetary terms, it seems I would be able to sell the C1 on fleabay here in Oz for ~$2,000. The C1 77 is available for $5,750. Viewing distance in my room is ~4m so the 75" lands me in the "right" place on panel size, hence my considering this upgrade. When the C1 77 was still at ~$7k, this "correction" of the panel size wasn't really worth the differential but with it down at these levels now, it's slipping into the answer to "would I pay this premium to get the increased screen size?" question being "yeah I think so".
This decision would be so so easy if I were switching up from anything other than a damn fine OLED of course.
Any insights appreciated.

- 77" vs 65" - well duh - totally obvious but silly not to put it here on top of the list
- Better peak brightness
- HDMI 2.1
- the new WebOS
