C8 with alpha9 and B8 with alpha7 (carry over from 2017). There should be a difference in picture quality. Question is...is it worth a few hundred $$$ extra? 2019 B,C,& E will have alpha9 gen2 fwiw.

Per rtings and other sites, there is no distinguishable difference in picture quality between the two. They rate this as the best 65" TV. Subjectively, I couldn't see any difference when testing in store.

The C8 can be had for around $2k right now for those who think it is worth the extra $250.

From the LG website:

High Frame Rate (HFR) & High Dynamic Range (HDR). Although the B8 and C8 both support HDR imaging, and high frame rates, because of the somewhat more limited processing power of the B8, that television cannot support both simultaneously. However, with the increased processing power of the C8, HDR and HFR can be used at the same time.

The Design. The most noticeable difference in the LG C8 vs. B8 comparison comes in the design – specifically in the design of the televisions' stands. The C8's is slightly wider and heavier than the B8's, and it features a cutout beneath the downward-directed speakers that help reflect sound toward the front of the television. Meanwhile, the B8's stand might look similar, but without the cutout, it isn't able to direct sound quite as well as the C8.

When you say high frame-rate how high of a frame rate are you talkin about 60 FPS 30fps 24fps 120fps

Doesn't really matter, the C8 only does HDR and HFR at the same time with media played via USB. I guess some people might do that but it's really only a select few.
