"The 83-inch model shares a lot of similarities with the LG C4 OLED. It uses LG's Alpha 9 AI Processor Gen7, supports a 144Hz refresh rate, has three USB ports, and has a 2.2 channel speaker system, all of which are the same as the C4. Due to these shared features, we expect the 83-inch model to perform more in line with the C4. However, it doesn't have LG's Brightness Booster technology like the C4 does, so it isn't as bright overall."

Edit: it's part of the buy more save more promo, so you can get a pretty awesome deal by combining it with a Gladiator rack for another $100. https://www.costco.com/.product.1...ue

After researching to the point of madness, I purchased this from Costco 3 weeks ago. When you buy the B4 83", you are essentially buying a C4 83". It has all the same internal components as the C4 in this size. You will be amazed if never owning an OLED TV. If you are on the fence, just do it.

Is the 83B4 an upgrade over the 83C1?

They are similar - the C1 wins in specular highlights, while the B4 wins in sustained 25% window and larger due to less aggressive ABL.
This reflects positively on the B4 because the C1 is a higher tier at a higher price point. Still, it looks like changing from C1 to B4 is a side-grade.
