Is the C6 worth $500 more than the B5?

Yes if you want 65 inches, a brighter OLED evo panel and 165Hz gaming. If 48 inches fits your room, the B5 covers the same basics for less.

Which is better for gaming?

The C6. It reaches 165Hz with a 0.1ms response time and the newer processor. The B5 tops out at 120Hz but still supports G-Sync, FreeSync Premium and VRR on four HDMI 2.1 ports.

Which is better for a bright room?

The C6. Its OLED evo panel with Brightness Booster handles daylight better. The B5 is a standard OLED and will look dimmer in a sunlit room.

Both are OLED and rated similarly for panel life. The C6's newer processor and webOS 26 should get software updates longer than the B5's webOS 25.

Should I wait for a price drop on the C6?

The C6 hit $949.99 on November 2 before returning to $1,399.99 on November 3. Set a price alert; the B5 has held at $899.99 since October 30.
