    Hi.

    Looking at getting a C9 during Black Friday sales. I see however that there are different C9 models at different price points. What are the main difference.

    Assume the panels are the same and the differences are due to the TVs processing power etc?

    Harvey Norman have a OLED65C9PLA for 2,179. Ive also seen a OLED65E9PUA for sale at higher prices. What’s the main difference?

    I'm in a similar situation.

    From what I can tell there are 3 models:

    B9
    C9
    E9

    You can look up their specs and reviews online, but for me it's between B9 and C9, leaning towards the C9 because the finish looks a bit better and sound seems better.

    The displays are technically identical from what the reviews are saying online.

    No idea about the E9.

    The tv is 2,179 in a few places this week, not sure it will go any lower, but we can only hope!

    Did more research.

    PLA is the EU model while PUA is the US model.

    I went with the C9 for a bit under 2,179 after haggling. From what I can tell:

    All 3 models have the same panel. The B9 uses an older chipset and isn’t as good at rendering and up scaling. The E9 has a better build using more expensive materials such as more glass. However the picture it produces is the same as the C9.

    The C9 was the winner for me. I was side by side with a Samsung QLED. It blew it out of the water especially in dark scenes. No comparison.
