- it has the a7 processor instead of the a9 that was on later production C1s
- doesn't have the Evo panel that the later production C1s had.
- Also is a tad thicker than the C1
- only has 2 hdmi 2.1 ports one of which is ARK so realistically you're only left with one 2.1 port. Not ideal if you have 2 gaming consoles.

in terms of actual picture quality there will be basically no difference between this and a G2, let alone a c2

From a movie watcher's perspective (i.e. me) it does not matter that you cannot connect two consoles to the B2. If you need two consoles though (PCMR here he he), sure, get a C1/C2.
The processor is also not relevant, who is using the WebOS? Just get an Amazon stick.

The fact that it's a bit thicker it's not very relevant also. Very few people have a limited space depth wise where to mount a TV, where not even an inch difference would matter.
About the panel, the link in @jetertmac's post shows that it performs on par with the C1. All the reviews for the Evo panel I have seen does not seem to indicate it's a much better one, just a bit brighter. Also, the B2 is a bit brighter overall than the "standard" C1, so they are probably even from a practical perspective.

I would be very happy with a B2, except one thing: the price. LG priced it way too close to the C1/C2. For 2-3 hundred bucks less, not sure I would go with a B2...
