As others have noted brightness and refresh rate of 60hz vs 120hz. For the average tv viewer, probably not noticable however depending on your sensitivity you may notice a judder effect on 24fps sources. This article explains it best but here is the base explanation:
"A 60Hz TV has trouble removing 24 fps judder because 60 isn't a multiple of 24. To display this type of content, a technique known as a "3:2 pulldown" is used. Basically, 12 of the 24 frames repeat three times, while the other 12 repeat twice, totaling 60 frames. Not everybody notices this, but it causes some scenes, notably panning shots, to appear juddery. However, 120Hz TVs have an advantage here because they can simply display each frame five times since 120 is a multiple of 24."
It also notes that some sources, such as Chromecast, will only output 60fps, so something else to keep in mind if you want to take full advantage of 120hz.

*Edit* thanks dealbabydeal for pointing this out:
From RTINGS: "The LG A2 can remove judder from 24p sources, and you just need to enable Real Cinema."
Edit2 - even more useful info here. If I'm understanding correctly a 24fps source played through a device that supports frame rate matching at 24fps will eliminate judder. If it forces output at 60 you will still get judder https://slickdeals.net/f/16863020-lg-77-class-oled-a2-series-4k-uhd-oled-tv-1499?p=16532300
Then I bought a 42" C2 for my computer and oh. My. God.
So pretty.

Edit: rtings actually says it's not a great choice opposite a night window. 😕

As to gaming- depends on your source again... Older, or even many current, console games you're not likely to have an issue... but higher end PCs you'll notice a massive difference uncapping framerate- and that will only get moreso in the future with stronger consoles and GPUs, so if it's a TV you expect to keep many years it's worth considering.
That said, the price bump from 60Hz to 120Hz is pretty big here, I don't recall the B2/C2 getting down much past the 1900-2100 range before they began going out of stock in 77"
I don't believe that if you put rock solid 60fps gaming up against higher frame rates, I doubt 95% of the population would give a damn , if they could see the difference at all.
And movie judder? Good points, but again, Not an issue for 95% of the population, in my opinion. Speaking of the future. I'd rather save the money now and get all that stuff included for the this price in a few years and then I'll have two TVs for what a C3 costs now.
Samsung and Sony TVs on the other hand are more prone to burn in, per RTINGS OLED burn in tests.

wasnt the B2 already be $1599 couple month ago ? A2 lack of 120 hz is the only no go for 1500 i see

For something interactive like a video game it's not just how smooth the playback is, it's how responsive the actual game is... there's an upper limit to how much a difference it makes- but 60->120 is quite measurable and real in actual difference for even the average player... (120 to 240 is much smaller and THAT is in the "probably irrelevant if you're not a pro gamer range though)
Further, it's not just the very top end GPUs that can exceed 60fps at 4k now--- so even relatively mid-range gaming systems would be wasting their $ putting out FPS the display can't handle nowadays.
I'm not going to get into a debate because their are gretmat options in oleds and mini led. But to act like mini led algothims aren't perfect blacks is silly. Here is my 3 year old qn90a. I replace 4 oleds with mini led and for my use cases wouldn't go back.
This particular model of oled would be bad any anything but a dim room.
