Thats been out for about a month now:
65EF950V
Aside from being flat, it also has the latest HDMI chip so will support HDR over HDMI aswell as streaming.
If you want curved (not sure why you would) there is also a newer version of this set, the 65EG960V. I don't think that will support HDR over HDMI, but it definitely does over streaming.
Additionally there have been improvements in panels since this set came out. This was an excellent price, Costco have had it at this for a while. But recently LG dropped the prices on the newer sets by £1000. With Currys 10% off TV vouchers you could effectively get both the newer sets for the same price, so I'd suggest anyone interested try to get one of those.
This now needs to drop in price further to be worthwhile.

Just took the plunge and bought the flat version.
Being delivered next Saturday.
The way I see it, I don't drink or smoke which can cost upwards of £20 per week.
I'm 40 with a 9 year old son and stay in to watch T.V most nights/weekends as entertainment.
I've had our last T.V 10 years.
10 years of smoking and drinking = £10,400
10 years of 65" OLED T.V ownership = £3,599
Easy decision for me!

Not a great fan of What HiFI to be honest. Recommending expensive HDMI cables/etc, I feel they are often more akin to those infomercials you see on TV :disappointed:
AVForums have also reviewed it and I put much more stock in their reviews.

I'm not a fan of these curved TV's and would still prefer a flat panel. A report online says that to get the full benefit of "curved TV" the screen size needs to be 70 inches plus. Nevertheless this is a great TV, or would be if it were flat!

There is a flat one with different model no. Think Currys have it

The LG curve is very subtle unlike samsungs.
Me too! All they had to do was include youview, freeview play or Freesat Freetime like Sony and Panasonic do. They didn't need to try and get specific apps built like Samsung.

There is suppose to be a flat panel version of this coming that also has better HDR support.
For this price i would want 4OD and ITV player.

Surely if you're buying a TV of this quality, you wouldn't give a damn about apps. A small, silent PC would be much more fitting.
