>I see a lot of people buying the C2. Is this the undisputed winner for a new 4K television?

I'd avoid anything using a QD-OLED panel for now until they've proven they've massively decreased their burn in issues.

Rtings is currently running a huge 2 year burn in test with 100 TVs [1], and have had major burn in issues on both their Sony and Samsung QD-OLEDs (while the LG WOLEDs don't have burn in issues, though their G2 had a column of pixels fail).

The LG G3 seems to compete with the QD-OLED panels in terms of colour and brightness this year with its MLA panel [2], but I'm not sure if it's worth the increased cost for most people compared to buying last year's C2.
