Amazon is selling the 2020 LG 55" BX model for $1299! Shipped and sold by Amazon
I've been looking for a good b9 deal but recently saw the price change. Not sure how long this will last as all the price history has shown this tv selling for $1501 just recently. Selling for $1499 at Best Buy.

Things that future BX owners should know:
Missing features
no Face Enhancer
no Frequency-based Sharpness Enhancer (BX has only "Sharpness Enhancer")
no AI Picture Pro (BX has only "AI Picture")
no Perfect Color (BX has only "NanoCell Color")
no True Color Accuracy Pro (BX has only "True Color Accuracy" - smaller 3D LUT container)
no 4K and 2K playback via USB (BX can play 4K/2K only via HDMI)
no AI Sound Pro (BX has only "AI Sound")
no 4 full HDMI 2.1 inputs (BX has only 2 HDMI 2.1 inputs + 2 HDMI 2.0 - two ports labeled HDMI IN and two ports labeled HDMI (4K@120Hz) IN.) - so you will get two HDMI 2.1 ports capable of 10-bit 4K at 120Hz with RGB 4:4:4, and two lower bandwidth ports that max out at 4K/60P with 8-bit RGB 4:4:4.
Limited capabilities
Alpha7 gen. 3 SoC (aka M16P3) instead of Alpha9 gen. 3 SoC (aka O20)
Lower brightness in HDR/DV (similar to the 2019 B9 model) - needs confirmation
HFR limited by the Alpha7 SoC - needs confirmation
only two-stage Noise Reduction due to Alpha7 SoC - more image noise with low bandwidth video (Alpha9 has four stages)
higher image artifacts due to Alpha7 SoC (especially near-black artifacts and more motion artifacts (flashing, etc.))
A smaller 3D LUT container (17x17x17, 4,913 color points) due to Alpha7 SoC (similar to the 2019 B9 model) - this means less accurate 3D LUT calibrations - versus the 33x33x33 LUT system with 35,937 color points of the CX/GX

EDIT: CX better for gaming. I'm going to wait for the 65" CX.
