B8 is just a glorified 2017 oled. I'd wait for a deal on a c8 or better
Very good comparison: https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare
Select the C8 and B8
The A9 can handle 120 Hz and HDR content simultaneously. However, the HDMI standards included in the TV are not capable of this. You would need to play the content over USB. Other than that, you get better up-scaling, but I am not sure how noticeable.

Processor

The main difference between LG OLED B8 and C8 is on the processor that supports them. LG OLED B8 is still powered by Alpha 7 Intelligence processor, the same processor that also used by all models of LG's 2017 OLED TV lineup including B7A, C7, E7, and others. On the other hand, LG C8 is already supported by Alpha 9 Intelligence processor, the same processor that also be used by other higher model of L's 2018 OLED TV including E8, or even W8. Alpha 9 processor as a higher type brings some advantages than Alpha 7 processor. One of the impacts is on their performance when handling 120 fps videos or called HFR (High Frame Rate). Both LG C8 and B8 might be equally already support HFR and HDR, but with Alpha 9 Processor, LG C8 is more powerful enough to handle HDR and HFR simultaneously. On other hand, LG B8 with Alpha 7 processor has limitations in handling HFR. OLED B8 might be able to handle both HDR and HFR, but it cannot handle them simultaneously like a TV with Alpha 9 processor like C8. Additionally, OLED C8 with Alpha processor also can provide smoother and clearer picture at 120 Fps, particularly when they are playing fast moving images. But even so, since their HDMI ports support HDMI 2.0 only and have not support HDMI 2.1, their HDMI ports don't accept HFR due the lack of sufficient bandwidth. This means, for a while, they are only able to accept HFR contents via USB. On the other hand, since there are not many 120 fps contents released, for a while, this doesn't give any practical advantage to OLED C8 against OLED B8.

The other advantage offered, Alpha 9 processor also provides four-step process of noise reduction, while alpha 7 Processor only provides two-step processing. This makes LG OLED C8 can provides better clarity of images and smoother color gradient. Additionally, Alpha 9 processor also provides better color performance the alpha 7. In addition to has an effect on their performance in processing images, the use of Alpha 9 also makes performance of its Smart TV is faster and more responsive than OLED B8, though both of them are featuring the same Smart TV platform and features.

I've been on the lookout for the C8 but this is $1000 cheaper from everything I have seen. Anyone have feedback on the processor difference and if it makes THAT much of a change in going for the B8 over the C8? Ugh

Remember, the B8 has the older Alpha 7 Processor. Not the new Alpha 9 like the rest of their 2018 lineup.

Also note that there is no Alpha 8 so it's not a two generation jump like it seems.

This is a good deal. But I'm going to wait for the c8 or e8 to drop in price. There is probably no significant difference among them. But I'm going to still wait anyway.

Damn I want to get C8 but this price is super tempting especially from an authorized seller.

Decisions, decisions...
