The big difference is that this screen has a matte like coating vs the C1/C2 glass. I used to swear by matte screens due to reflections on glass, but the color pop on my C1 glass is too hard to ignore and it handles reflections very well.

However, compared the LG C1/C2 series, this one doesn't support Dolby Vision and the HDMI 2.1 ports are limited to half bandwidth at 24gbps. How important are these missing features?
I happened to see this monitor from across the store and I can tell you it looked lightyears ahead of any other monitor in the store, and that is even in comparison to the Dell OLED 34" Ultrawide that Rtings lists as their #1 gaming monitor right now. Microcenter is a very well lit and bright store, and this monitor was plenty bright to be able to see it, and looked 1000X better than any other monitor in the store, and I saw them all. This is compared to the Dell OLED, and even the ASUS Oleds that I saw, and all the other non OLED panels. I tried to buy it for $899 in store, only to find out they were out of stock. So I went home and immediately bought it on newegg for $830 (the $100 coupon didn't exist last week). Newegg just agreed to give me a $100 gift card as a way to price match the current promotion.
Microcenter did not have the 48" LG OLED in store to look at. I have to imagine this monitor is nearly identical to the LG 48" OLED currently on sale for around $900. I have read the they both use the same LG panel. Rtings lists the Gigabyte a little better in a few categories over the LG OLEDs. I am not concerned with half maximum bitrate over HDMI 2.1 (I wont be using HDMI). The LG has a max OC refresh rate of 138 fps, while the gigabyte is 120fps. In the end, i decided I was ok with that and went with the Gigabyte for having the inputs oriented in a better way, and for having a little better glare performance over the LG.
I personally use a 43" which is like 4 x 21" 1080p monitors.
