Well the CX is 120Hz.

120Hz isn't just for gaming either. I wish people recognized that.

Most TV/Movie content is 24p (Hz).

60Hz TVs can't display 24p content w/o using 3:2 pulldown...which creates judder. 24Hz divides cleanly into 120Hz...no conversion.

All else equal, a 60Hz TV will never look as good as a 120Hz TV for almost all video content. It technically can't.

Now if the price is right, it might be good enough for someone (maybe those Switch players?)

If I'm spending extra bucks to get the best PQ I can (by buying OLED to begin with)...I'm not going to cheap out and get a 60Hz one personally.

Great deal if you don't need the C1 features - 120hz refresh, VRR, HDMI 2.1.

Been using the 48" CX as a monitor for over a year now. For gaming the 120 Hz is very nice if you have something to drive it that fast (RTX 3080 or 6800 XT or better). If you are just looking for a small OLED to watch shows on, the A1 is just fine.

I have been using 48" CX as a monitor as well and I cannot do 120Hz unless I go lower resolution. The A1 seems like perfect for a minor as 60Hz is what you will be doing anyway.

120Hz is an absolute must is you want to use as your primary monitor.
Unless you enjoy motion sickness.

Costco had the C1 series of this unit for $799 (they may still have this). For this price, you also got a $100 Google Play credit, and a total of a 3-year warranty. The C1 has a 120Hz refresh rate.
Whoa really? Instore only?

It depends on your video card. My 3090 drives 4k 120 Hz very nicely on most games. But, if you have to drop to 1440p or turn down a few options to get good frames, that's not too bad anyway.

Quote from evo3rs :
I have had 2 first generation 55inch LG OLEDs too. I gave one to my brother and the other one to my sister in law. They're very hard to calibrate but overall they're a great set. I still have a Panasonic 65VT60 plasma but no longer use it. I have 82" Samsung LCD in living room and pretty much content with it. My eyes are no longer the same so I am not into color accuracy anymore. At this price point, it's worth giving this set a try.
vt60 was great too. I tried either the st60 or st50, but I have this weird issue where a lot of tvs hurt my head badly. Makes it feel like something is squeezing it and nobody even knows what it could be.... and for some reason that one was the worst at doing it of any tv I tried, which sucked because the picture was amazing.

I noticed where someone said 1440p looks horrible on a 4k monitor, though. But who knows what someone's definition of horrible may be... could be exaggerating.

If I'm spending extra bucks to get the best PQ I can (by buying OLED to begin with)...I'm not going to cheap out and get a 60Hz one personally.

This is all technically accurate but there are a few things I'd like to add here:

1) How objectionable judder is depends on content+motion and also how sensitive an individual is to it. I'm a huge video geek and only notice it on slow pans. It just doesn't bother my eyes/brain me for some reason, and I think most people feel the same way.

2) Streaming is the most popular way to watch movies and TV shows today, and a lot of streaming content, even when it's originally recorded at 24Hz, is streamed at 60Hz with 3:2 pulldown executed before it even gets to the TV. I did some experimenting on my new 4K Fire TV Stick max. Only the Prime Video app actually adjusted the frame rate to match the original source. All other apps I tested - Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc all sent 60Hz to the TV. I've noticed this on other streaming devices as well. In this case, it doesn't matter whether your TV is 60Hz or 120Hz, it would look exactly the same.

Is it the app version that looks bad?

Yes, and many only use the app. It looks like a wall of text, hard to read.
