Trying to decide between the 2020 and 2021 models. Is the 2021 model worth the extra $450 cost over the 2020 model?

If you've waiting this long, then you know the CX sold out last Black Friday. The C1 probably will be available for BF 2021. A lot of people who thought they could buy PS5s in 2020 have given up. They and vulture resellers were a huge part of the CX becoming scarce in 2020. I'd be happy with a CX, but where are people seeing them for $900? Resellers edge most people out of deals like that and then resell for more. If I'd seen a CX for $900 new over the past year, I'd have bought one. The C1 is already being discounted and might fall further after Thanksgiving.

Can this be wall mounted? I don't see mounting holes on the back

Yes, if you look at the image of the back of the TV, you'll see the mounting holes in the lower 3rd. The mount pattern is 400 x 400

How sturdy is the tv and stand? i have a cat that likes to attack the tv when i'm playing certain games, would it be easily knocked over?

Although the tv itself isn’t very heavy, the stand that it attaches to is probably 30 of the 50+ pounds that the box indicates it weighs, and the TV attaches very securely with 4 screws. I cannot imagine that even the largest of cats could knock it over!

Has the C1 improved anything about the burn-in problems with the CX?

I use a C1 as a computer monitor for work along side an A2. I have a BX in the bedroom and a A80J in our upstairs. I abuse them. But the pictures are calibrated, OLED brightness turned down as need for picture quality. None of them have burn in. 2 are 2 years old. Next will be a 77" for the theater. Also have 2 10 year old plasmas with ZERO burn in. Stop watching CNN on VIBRANT settings.
