Just about to buy this - where have you seen it cheaper? Quidco not guaranteed etc..

Richer Sounds £599 and I think Dabs was just over £600

I've got this tv and can recommend it highly! the menu can be a tad slow but hopefully this will be resolved with a firmware update! magic remote is amazing as well!

Richer Sounds is a different model its the UB and cant see any on Dabs

Do you have a link Dwl99. I cant find a LG 49UF850V anywhere on Richer Sounds website or Dabs.

I managed to get the £399 deal for the 50" hisense 4k which i'm going to put in the bedroom....it will be interesting to compare the two and see if the LG was worth the extra cash!

bought one in September great tv only regret is the price now :'(

Any thoughts on this one compared to the Samsung UE50JU6800 that's £688 with the 5 year warranty? I really don't think the inch difference will bother me (ooh er) but I'm a bit lost when it comes to TV's.

Could someone who has this TV please confirm the how far the feet of the stand are apart. Just need to check it will fit on our TV table. Thanks

looks like the stand attached to the TV is almost the whole length of the Tv ( as opposed to being in the centre- anyone know what length my glass stand needs to be to fit this ?

Repost other than the quidco.

No way you can add the Quidco as a discount. Its pot luck. It's Currys i.e nightmare!

hot hot price

what i h8 is the stupid leg stands they seem to be doing recently wont fit my tv spot as the legs are over the edge where it would sit...... why cant they just have a centre stand or one long solid stand, would love to know who came up with these stupid leg ideas that means you need a tv stand the length of how far the legs are which is the entire tv in most cases long.

Is there any way to get quidco on this by using click and collect as this only seems to reserve it rather than pay for it?

Quidco tracks @ price less vat....

only giving 1% @ quidco?

Ah right, thank you!

Yeah I did the same in the end only now won't get it till next Friday

quidco says 13% on 4k TV's

Which would you go for out of lg55uf850v or lg49uf850 and why. I went into currys today to grab a black Friday barging but could not decide the two size. Is the lg55 UF850V worth the extra £ 200 for the for 5he extra 6 iniches over the lg49uf850v.The room it will be going in is 11 by 9 feet.

How true is it that 55 inches should be the minimum to enjoy.

Went in and bought one today. I've waited for the price to drop on this set for about 2 months. Having had plasma previously the picture on this set is amazing. The smart features don't lag at all and the 3D is better than I thought it would be.

Mines tracking at 1% :-(

I got two links when I typed in the model number in quidco, one gives 16% and one is 1%. But it says it's £849. I have no idea on how this quidco stuff works, anyone able to help me out? I'm wanting to buy the TV for £551. Thanks!

Mines tracking at 1% :-(

Yeah the 15% has been removed looking at the available offers now. Think all we're getting is 1 % no matter what now :disappointed:

When I checked quidco mines tracking at 1% too but theres a message saying "Purchases from this retailer may initially track lower than expected. Don't worry, the cashback amount will be updated before it's confirmed."
So hopefully it'll go up to the 13/15% later?

The room that the tv will be going in is 2.85 by 3.35 metres. With this measurement in mind, which of the lg 49uf850v or 55 uf850 is suited to my room measurement.

The 49" is plenty in a room that size unless you're wanting a real wow. My personal plan was 49" 4k to see myself through till HDR and OLED was sensible and then go a bit bigger to 55" and my rooms very similar but having put 48" in the bedroom which is a smaller size I'm not so sure I want to go above 50" now on the living room.

Would 55" be an over skill for my room size then. I suppose the option to get the 49" and save 200 is very tempting.

Doesn't current 4k have HDR ? What is HDR ?

I heard the benefit of 3d and 4k is only enjoyable and noticeable on 55" as a minimum, does this mean 49" 3d 4k is small to enjoy 4k and notice the difference between 4k and 1080p.

Out of lg 49uf850v, samsung ue50ju6800, lg 49uf690 which is the best 4k set in terms of picture quality and which set has the best 1080p upscale processing.

Went into store to look at these TVs. The first thing I noticed was that thelg 49uf690's actual TV unit is much thicker. The other two are slim sets and look more modern. But there is a benefit to thicker sets they tend to have a better back light setup but this was unoticible in store.

The 850v is obviously the more premium set out of the LGs you'll also find that it has Harman Kardon speakers that currys forgets to mention.

Between this and the Sammy it's a toss up. There is a chance the Sammy will have a VA matrix depending on where it was manufactured but most likely both sets will be IPS.

Is the stand really 1100mm as the tv is only 1095mm wide and the picture clearly shows the stand stops well short of the end of the tv?

Ok it's 1095mm, just re-measured with the help of my missus (I have the 55" model and the stand fits both ) . The tv illustrated is the 55" model.

I don't think it has tho it may be possible in a further update. HDR or High Dynamic Range is an increase in colour vibrancy that's supposed to improve visible detail and more realistic colours. I can't see the point of it with current LED tech as most screens can't do the full range HDR is supposed to offer, its also not a finalised standard yet with a couple of formats doing the round so I'd be weary of buying a set that does offer it atm. It wouldn't (and hasn't stopped me from jumping into 4k tho as it not a requirement and my be a couple of years before it becomes adopted in any major way yet anyway) as you'll still see an increased viewing quality over normal HD and obviously a lot more via 4k sources.

There's a lot of talk over distances where you will see the benefit of 4k depending on the size but I have a 49" and 48" 4k TV and I bought my parents a 42" one and you can see an improved picture over a further distance than graphs that seem to be touted around as fact from much greater distances than they claim. There's 2 ways of looking at it, one is seeing the actual addition pixels in action, the other is seeing the more realistic images those pixels are producing.

I know what my eyes have seen as opposed to what a graph says I shouldn't and personally from my own experience those graphs should simply be ignored - view one in Currys and you'll see for yourself.

Can't say what the Sammy looks like but the UB850 (last years version of this TV) is 1st rate and LG have been brilliant at continually improving the firmware ironing out quirks.

Thanks for the detailed response. Is the lg 49 / 55 uf850v model entry or mid range 4k level.

Higher mid range, think it's the highest LED model they do, there's a 950 as well but i don't know if that's been offed in the UK this time round which is the same set with a small sub speaker built in but that's the only difference.

Any idea how good or bad 3d is on the lg uf850 model. Think it's passive 3d. What us 3d depth control by the way.

Well ... My 49UF640V arrived today but its smashed! Going to have to send it back which means, I've just ordered this! Quidco tracking at £5.41 at the moment - but should be £84.50 at the end if it does so correctly!!

Contact customer support on quidco, best do it now than later.

The email confirmation from quidco states "Cashback look lower than expected? Don't worry, this retailer will update the amount when your purchase is confirmed. " for store collection.

I dont have any experience with Currys but previously my cash was updated to the correct value after few days.

You have to be bang on at the right angle with mine or you get crosstalk in 3d at the extremities of the screen. Usually have my 3d set at 2m iirc but I don't think I've watched anything in 3d on it in over 12 months. Note the plus thing about 4k TV's with passive 3d is you get a full 1080 display as passive cuts the resolution in half on 1080 sets.

I suppose it doesn't really matter if one goes for active or passive 3d on a 4k tv. If the claim of 4k is 4 times the resolution of 1080p is true, passive 3d will still be getting 2 times the resolution of 1080p on a 4k tv. Well that's my logic any way.

as you said passive 3d on a 1080p tv cuts the resolution in half so your not actually getting full 1080p.

Just something to note. The width of the stand is 110cm wide. My TV cabinet is only 100cm :disappointed:

The stand is 1095mm long, no point looking

Thanks for the info, good to know.

Looks good for price..

Bought it today using reserve and collect through quidco whilst i was in the store. Tracking at 1% but hoping it will update later (but i won't hold my breath). Really happy with the telly though. Football looks fantastic on it.

Does anyone know which is the best TV to get out of this LG or Panasonic Viera TX-50CX700B?

Mine has tracked at 1%. I would have got delivery had I know I wouldn't get proper cash back

Indeed. I got a soundbar with it

must not buy....but i really want to buy it!!
damn you HUKD!

Set this bad boy up last night and watch hunger games - decent quality.
My quidco tracked at 1% on click and collect. It says on the terms that any claim they need codes from the receipt after 24 hours.
Also only tracks at the £457.00 (doesn't include VAT).

Well worth doing

Has anyone had this track at the right percentage on quidco?

Nice tv; couple of issues with it though (I've owned one for about a year now)

The local led dimming is terrible, turn it off. Unfortunately this then means the led backlight is on constantly means the blacks are not blackp, more grey.

The 3D performance isn't that great either. For some reason even though it's passive the tv gives cross talk?!? I've fiddled and fiddled and fiddled and I can't get rid of it; it's not so bad as to make me not watch 3D but I was really disappointed by its performance.

Apart from those two things the to is good. 4K performance is pretty nice and colours are vibrant.

For the money it's probably worth it (I paid a shade under 900 for it)

There's a section on Av forums dedicated to setting it up; bluechris has a decent optimised settings configuration that may be worthwhile. Checking out

Just on this point, the chest of draws I currently have my tv on is 800mm (IKEA Malm) so I'm planning to an 1100mm shelf board, stick that on top and hopefully that should do the trick!

Does anyone who has already got their TV know if it come with any glasses? Description says no but wanted to check before I order some. Plus has anyone tried 'Dual Play'?

This is what I have Serano 1100 tv stand, I bought it last year to go with my LG 55UB850V, which got replaced with this years LG 55UF850V, as you can see it's a corner unit, so I replaced the top glass with an mdf board trimmed to support the rear legs.

I have a 400hz LG HD TV, how will this compare to this one only having only 100hz screen?

Collected mine yesterday afternoon picture is amazing still trying to get used to the magic remote but so far im very happy the sound is not the best but then again they are all the same on the new tvs so i also purchased the LG 300w Soundbar that currys have on offer reduced to £130 and its perfect so highly recomended if you have this tv.

It's fine, haven't noticed any issues with input lag or anything like that

Quidco dropped to 13% now. I am considering this TV - but what is the feeling on something better coming up near or after Christmas? Or do you think this is as good as it gets?

Received mine today, Its an absolutely fantastic TV even more so for the price, the image quality is fantastic. I also give an A for the passive 3D experience it offers, it looks excellent! Cant go without mentioning the Harmon Kardon sound, by far the best ive heard on any TV.

Anyone who hasn't ordered it yet but are thinking about it I would say definitely make the purchase! its a bloody steal! - Adam

with the the Harmon Kardon sound would you say there is no need for a soundbar ?

Don't know whether to go for this or just hang on for something better at the price range.

Cause April may June July August September October November is 8 months which is nearly a year. Plus I just checked and I've got the 49ub not uf, but apparently there's little difference

How is it for gaming? It is okay for lag and things?

Going to decide shortly. What about 43UF690V for £400. Is it actually 4k because I'm not sure about the HDMI inputs?

http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-43UF690V

Thank you, I never really considered it as something of an issue but you hear people complaining about it on various threads.

Yeah you pretty much listed the differences. Struggling to decide as I don't think I'll need those extra features. I'm more concerned the picture won't be as good.

I have used a PS3, PS4 and Nvidia Shield on mine without issue and not noticed any lag even without using game mode .

Oh and the Magic remote too!

According to avforums 65uf850v has got a10 bit panel which is hdr ready. So ideally 49 should have same panel just in a different size unless LG is doing what Samsung is doing with models like 6800.

https://www.avforums.com/review/lg-65uf850v-uf850-uhd-4k-led-tv-review.11667

Try 6 months, its still November...

There's a few valuable updates, quad over dual core processor, webOS 2 as opposed to webOS "1.5", later magic remote and probably quite a few internal modifications too.

8 but who's counting

I get 7 but then I'm pretty good at maths so still nearer 6 than 12 even if you count your 8....

April 1
May 2
June 3
July 4
August 5
September 6
October 7
November 8 (it's a day from the end so rounding up is sensible)

Can we now drop it professor.

Is HDR important in a tv. The lg uf850 has all the features to be 4k future proofed. If HDR is not important, is it worth waiting just for HDR if a tv already has all the other 4k features.

So your the only person in the world who counts the minute you buy something as having it a month?

Okkkkaaaayyyy then.....

Even if we go by your crazy logic how is 8 months a year?

Can someone confirm if this comes with the 3D glasses? Not clear in the spec vs what LG website says.

Cheers

"Little differences" isn't a fair coment.

UB doesnt have a Tru ULTRA HD Engine (up-scaler - fairly massive functionality for 4k tv), doesnt have upgraded sound, no DVR functionality, no bluetooth,..... just to name a few.

This is 4K via Youtube, i wouldn't judge against a purchase on this image though, my phone camera doesn't do it justice - Adam

I've just seen this TV instore and I'm not blown away by it. Its certainly good but there was no wow factor to the demo 4K image and there is clear banding issues on moving backgrounds. This is was most apparent when the LG logo came up with a red background.

UB does have DVR abilities, also nothing wrong with its upscaling either which is excellent.

About to bite on this one...I think Lol. Before I do, has anyone tried gaming on it? Any thoughts on the input lag would be greatly appreciated :smiley:

.....Bought it anyways. It just seemed to good of a deal, regardless of input lag :laughing:

I'm looking for a stand for this tv to fit in a corner. any one got any good ideas? also what do you all do with your old tv's? I've got a Sony bravia 2008 tv, not sure what to do with it? sell it or bin it? to old for any one to buy it.

quidco down to 1.5% now

The problem with this tv is the picture quality and it has a huge stand . Also its pretty laggy as it only has a single core processor . Deep blacks are rubbish as it's an ips screen . The picture quality is pretty abysmal for a 4k tv .

Oh and if you paid £649 at currys with a quidco price of 13% don't forget you have to take into account that it only applies to the sale price before uk tax which ends up being £541 -13% (£70 roughly) and for some reason quidco will only initially give you around £5 but hopefully that will go up to the £70 once confirmed.

i m confused between this tv and samsung ue50ju8500. can someone help plz?

No no i do like this tv . I have bought it and will keep it . I just have to point out the flaws of this tv .

Bad points = picture quality . Turning over channels is slow and annoying . The back lights are abysmal causing black backgrounds to look white/gray. Overall laggyness of the system is a problem as it only has a single core processor so things get slow fast .


Good points = sound quality is amazing .


I kno that makes it look like i hate this tv but i am just being truthful . As i said i have bought this from currys and will keep it . But staight away i can see this isn't the best tv around .

I don't kno Why it keeps reposting my posts . Its not me doing this !!

Does anyone have any suggested settings for optimising the picture?

This tv Is not quad core . I have spoken to lg and they have told me its a single core processor NOT quad core

LG are talking out of their Ars3!
Specs are:
Chipset..LM15U
CPU...Arm Cortex A12 1.1 Ghz Quad Core
RAM...2.5GB
GPU..Mali760 MP4 3D/550MHz
Source: Webosforums.ru via LG Developers
The Uf850v has the LD53J main pcb with the LM15U chipset

:man:

just bought mine. really happy with it. stunning picture. bought stand from b&m.

Hmm why would lg Tell me themselfs that it has a single core processor ? I did give them the correct model number twice just to make sure . What's even more of a puzzle is why does it lag when going in and out of menus if it infact does have a quad core chip .. thats really annoying me

I have just opened the box after reading all of this single core quad core discussion and
I am impressed by the picture quality.

I have upgraded from LG 32LH3000 which I was using few hours earlier and there is huge difference not only in size but also in picture quality for me.

I was looking to buy samsung 6800 which I finalised but later bought this one.

Ok I'm wrong and you are correct, it does have a single core chip...my bad ..sorry...
(Face palm)
P.S. did you actually buy an LG 49UF850V? just out of curiosity of course...

bought this TV yesterday for £519. 4k is amazing. watched avatar 3d yesterday, 3d was really good. stand is pretty big to be fair

wife discount with her job and another 8% off I think.

any one got there 4k videos to work via smartphone from usb? keeps saying can't play file??

I did get it for £519 I'm no liar. so get your facts right before insulting people!!

you just joined hotukdeals so you insult me and call me liar. I know I got it for £519.

Did not go through cash back. Went through company discount. Not going to explain anymore as just being called a liar.

It will show 1% untill It's confirmed by currys . Then will go up

Not you mack me off, you did not say anything wrong mate. Lgtv called me a liar.

I Could upload pic but pointless as only I can get discount, so not really a deal for every one else.

Just set up the telly yesterday and well impressed with it. Did anyone get any documentation about the 5 year guarantee?

By the way guys there is a new software update in the about tv settings menu . Be sure to update it a.s.a.p. fixes a few things plus system wide stability has improved .

Says on my receipt to register the 5 years warranty after 10 days time.

Yeah, it was On the curry's receipt.

Was this not cheaper last week lol ....

Which receipt? There was nowt in/on box when delivered, and no mention of warranty in my order confirmation emails.
Ta
P

I emailed customer services and was told I would get documentation in the post in a few weeks.

Well guys i am sending mine back to currys .

Reasons are as follows ..

It developed a screen fault with vertical lines across the screen . After 2 weeks !!!

The passive 3d is terrible with huge ghosting on some parts of the screen when watching 3d bluerays

Every time i change channels its so god dam slow and getting into the tv guide is even slower

Overall laggyness when doing anything .

4k upscale is a total joke and gimmic .

The ips Screen's backlight is very noticable when changing channels even with l.e.d backlight dimming on full .

The lg magic remote would stop working whenever it choose to. Which is normaly about 4 times per day .


I will not miss this tv that's for dam sure !

​I bought this tele in size 49 and a friend bought the 55 inches at the same time. Both have no problems.

Upscaling is really good while watching hd channels from sky (and some sd channels) and bluray on sony s6500 with both upscaling on /off.

No crosstalk / ghosting for the 3d content and actually I now prefer passive 3d on this tele because I cant use my nvidia active shutter 3d glasses for more than few minutes on my laptop.

Yesterday, I played Call of duty black ops iii on my friends 55inch tele and did not notice any issue.

Yes! occasionally it gets laggy and the blacks are not as good as oled or va panels but not much of an issue for me.

To me it feels like you had a faulty tele which you have already said.

Have had the TV up & running for a week now and am very pleased with it. The WebOS interface is very nice and it has a good selection of apps, including Google Play, Wuaki TV, Youtube etc. Plex would be nice but maybe that's in the pipeline! I bought a stand with bracket fixing from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0185TN130?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 which looks great with the TV.

I am thinking about getting the 49 inch model, I currently have a 50 inch plasma Samsung. Losing the 1 inch should not make a difference? Or should I go for the 55 inch?

Depends on the size of your room and whether you think your other half will let you get away with the bigger one. There's no perceptible difference between 49" and 50".

I bought this TV and keep having issues with the screen. It blinks black randomly when watching something on my G-Box, and for the last couple of days I've noticed flickering on normal tv too but only the bottom half of the screen or like a shifting effect(?). No other problems, sound is great, remote and webOS are great. I do really like the TV :disappointed:
Hope everyone else is enjoying this TV but has anyone had any similar issues?

Well had mine 3 weeks and it's started playing up :disappointed: seems to be since the lg update last week it's gone very laggy and flashes black while watching TV also I have a white line at the very top of the screen. I called currys customer services who agreed it to be faulty and told me to return it to the store with a returns code only to get to the store to be told the code means nothing and they will need to test it for 30 mins I'm now sat waiting while they get lg to give them the code to refund as they now agree it's 100% faulty but they are hard work to deal with :disappointed:

I'm sending mine back also. Satellite tuner doesn't detect HD channels and picture quality poor on some channels. Shame really. Have emailed Curry's but am in 14 day period so hopefully they wont be too difficult.

I told you guys the tv is crap , i am really happy i gave them back this piece of rubbish ips crappy tv and got my £649 back . Mine got lots of yellow vertical lines all over the screen .. it was also stupidly laggy when doing anything . I feel sorry for any of you guys that think its a good tv . Before long you will regret it trust me .

Didn't you like your telly?

price has been reduced to £629. Do Currys offer refund for price drops within 30 days? if they do would it effect quidco cabal?

Wahey! Just checked my quidco tracking last night and it seems to have finally gone up to the 13%! Although it says it won't be paid till March, hopefully a little earlier!

mine has been updated to £70.31

What was the deal with the extended warranty on this? I never received any paperwork in reference to it.

Thanks.

I contacted Currys CS & they said I would receive paperwork a month or two after receiving the TV

anyone received the guarantee info?

I called their CS and only got a call saying the guarantee is logged on their system. No docs.

Me too

​I contacted them twice and second time I was told that the paper work (not much just a confirmation letter) was never despatched to me. I received our within a week of contacting them again

Is the 3D any good anyone know and any feedback on problems be helpful. Thnx in advance.
