Also, the GX is a pain in the ass to mount -- as much due to lack of visibility and a small target to hit in the proprietary mount. When I mounted my CX using my own wall mount, it was a breeze.
In a nutshell, if you plan on using a stand, get the CX (no sense in paying a premium and then have to buy a stand / legs). And if you're wall mounting, unless you must have little to no wall gap, the CX is probably preferred as well (lighter, easier to mount, cheaper).

He's now posted twice the he got the A1 (2021 entry-level OLED model) for $809, through a bit of luck that would be dang near impossible to replicate. It's a nice story for him but useless to the rest of us.
Exactly… but g1 came with evo and c1 didn't. Flush mount was awesome for my side wall. Above fireplace and such a waste
Heavier is expected to fortify the slim structure.
I recently had a gx 65 mounted, with the recessed box with no flange and all. Installer was a waste of money cause the knowledge of the certain way to mount it. Outer layers of the display got a little warped when it was attached to mount but it didn't affect the tv performance or picture. just when it's off and you see the reflection, kind of doing a fun house thing. I want the 77 anyway. If anybody buys a gallery series just be warned it's way fragile, way more than my C7 oled. Get it installed by somebody or do your homework and get one person to help.
Funny how the poster doesn't post that in the thread he created but posts the model # here, shares the back story of how it was just "luck" here then complains why that thread is getting down votes.
I agree, he was very sketchy with details.

*isn't that always the case.
Yes, you would never buy a GX to put it on a traditional wall mount or stand. Maybe a G1 if you are buying it purely for its small performance advantages over the C1. The big form factor advantage of the G line is to get it 100% flush to the wall.
It does take a careful eye and some planning to get it right. Don't hire a random person who installs TV mounts unless they can walk you through what they intend to do and have experience hanging the G series.
I mounted mine myself, and you need to make sure you get a recessed box that can be mounted without a flange on the drywall. You also need to ensure it's in exactly the right location based on the diagram that's given with the TV. I would also make sure you get the mount perfectly leveled, because there is less forgiveness and adjustment with that than I expected. That's sad, it's not a fraction of an inch room behind the TV. It pulls out a few inches for you to get back there to do what you need to do, but it would be helpful to have that prepped before you put the TV up so you know that you are just connecting what you already know you need to connect. And also helps to zip tire twist tie the excess cable lengths so that they do not get in your way from pushing the TV back flush against the wall. You also want to make sure when adjusting it you don't scratch the wall.

Uh... what? It's heavier because the GX back panel is essentially all metal and uniformly thick vs the CX's thick center square and mostly plastic build.
GX/G1 have regular VESA holes as well. I have the 77" and elected to use my full motion mount instead of the included proprietary flush mount bracket and it's works just fine. IMO it's better that the mounting position is centered whereas the CX and most other OLED TVs have VESA holes offset towards the bottom, which may necessitate repositioning an existing wall mount.
In a nutshell, the GX/G1 is marginally better than the CX/C1. If price is the same, go for the GX/G1. Factoring in price, pick the one that better fits your use case.
It specifically covers burn-in. For the first year, everything on the TV is covered, parts and labor included. The second through fifth years, only the panel is covered. LG pays for the parts, you pay for the labor

This is their top of the line model. Completely flush, with no hump. It's meant to be wall mounted and it includes a mount, no stand. ATSC 3.0 tuner. It also has the Evo panel, which gets a little brighter. And most of all, it has a five year warranty that covers burn-in.
But pretty much all C1's have the Evo panel these days though, just not with the extra brightness and obviously no five year warranty. All A80J's and A90J's have the Evo panel as well
