Price has dropped even further now, best time to buy and the warranty will ensure peace of mind for the next few years. Richer Sounds will provide a six year warranty for the same TV, but their price is an extra £70.
Please don't compare to your 4k LED TVs for under 500 quid. This is a whole new ball game, and the only real improvement to TV viewing in comparison to the existing technology.
John Lewis will also price match

I have 4k TV (not an Oled) but would hapilly change for 1080p OLED. 4K is fine but still very limited in content. What is available looks great but I would sacrifice but of extra resolution for OLED blacks.

I have an Oled TV and it is far superior than my old KURO Plasma.

Why say don't compare to 4K have you got this and a 4K in your house to notice the difference ?
To be fair, the OP specifically describes '£500' 4K TVs, basically the cheap end that just attracts 'megapixel people'...
OLED is incredible, but I have just bought a high end LG 4K TV (Prime/Full Array Local Dimming/HDR etc) and that compares very well with OLED. I wanted 65", and don't use the room it's in enough to justify best part of £4,000, so decided against OLED. Everyone is right about lack of 4K content though, it's ridiculous when it's been affordable for around 2 years now that there isn't more available.

I've seen this today in Currys and so tempted but not sure if to wait for 4K to drop. Heat

Decent price though. Having seen a 65" flat LG OLED in John Lewis side by side with other LEDs, I'm smitten! Resolved to wait until late this year (black Friday time) in the hope of getting a 2015 55" 4K OLED for £1-1.5k

I would still wait at least few months as new models are due out from LG and Panasonic as well. Will push prices down further.
