this only has a 1 yr guarantee. Richer Sounds is probably a better deal at 749 with a 6 year guarantee.

Bet that takes up a bit of room on your Sofa :wink:

a little more expensive but after a lot of research online I went for this one:

55" LG

once set-up (properly) it a very nice piece of kit. SD looks decent on it, HD looks very good. Watched a 3D film last night and despite not expecting too much my wife and I loved it.

The robot (salesman) in Curry's tried very hard to push me away from getting this in favour of any Sony - and even made a snide comment to his colleague that was helping me once we had made up our minds (clearly he was not impressed with our choice, and in a similar fashion I was not impressed with his snide comment so just mentioned it to the Manager on the way out)

yes but RS warranty is a whole load easier..no arguing or getting engineers reports etc..in-home repair, loan unit while being repaired and new for old latest model if it fails in 6yrs...
Think I'd rather pay the extra £50.

Brilliant TV though...had mine a few months now an love it. some have had backlight bleed issues but mine is OK. Well reviewed on AVF.

out of stock again and price up to 799

I'm so confused as to which one to buy. Your comments on the sony are much appreciated since I've read a lot on hukd about android being terrible on these X series sets.

I watch a lot of football and cricket, so it's important that my new tv handles motion/panning well especially if I'm going to drop £900 on it!

Alright so we have:

LG 55UF860v
Sony 55X8509
This Samsung

Which one is best :smile:

How does this model handle SD broadcasts please?

I'd personally opt for Amazon or JL when purchasing any expensive electricals. Currys can be a nightmare to deal with at times, the stress I went through when I bought a faulty Nutribullet from them was unreal.

Anyway, I'm sure part of the fault of the 805C was its dual core which just isn't up to the task imo. If yours has a quad core then I'm sure it wont be plagued with the slow down mine had and even it does it should hopefully be software related, which as you mentioned Sony are good at rolling out.

Yep that's the one I've gone for from Currys


Currys offer a 5 year guarentee
Care Plan Info

It's not specific about software faults but it just states they'll try and fix whatever and give you a loaner if needed.

I've know the OS has been hit and miss but I believe they've ironed most of it out and they seem to be pretty good at rolling out updates, which isn't always the case with manufacturers.

I bottled it in the end and cancelled this one for a Sony X850C. It was a bit more expensive but it seems to have more 'future proof' features (though it's hard to say that since the 4k standard hasn't really been finalised yet!). Plus it's a 120hz panel and will do 4k on PC too. It also supports Playstation Now, which might be worth a go since I have a very fast internet connection and no PS4.

I'd imagine he went for the 'KD55X8509C' which is £899 at the moment.

Hi nothing to do wit this TV but fancing the curved Tv anyone had anything to do with them or are they going to disappear

You do realise your entire post is your perception of the regulations, not actual fact right?

As for the idea there is a standard minimum period for durable goods and that its 3 years is complete and utter rubbish.

Just wondering guys how far do away do you sit from your 55" ?

My question do I return my Samsung UE55J5500 (5 series 1080p) price matched @ John Lewis for £580 for this deal?.. I'm debating whether its all worth the hassle.. im fairly happy with the image quality of this TV but presuming there is a big jump between these panels. any input is appreciated!

Wow, that's still a lot of tv for £200 less. Given me some thinking to do!

Same price

Currys - UE55H6400

How much can you get the 55 h6400 for though?

Yeh the 7 series is just out of range and I thought this at £699 seemed a steal!
Though I keep wondering whether I need 4k and should I instead go for a more feature filled 1080p screen like the Samsung H6400?

Do you think with it being a 60hz panel it'll ghost when watching sports?

I'm

Curry's might price match if you contact there customer service:

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/price-promise-1023-theme.html

I'm pretty certain this set is a 60hz panel. I'm waiting for the JU7000 to drop a little bit more. It has a true 120hz panel but not sure of its gaming value as PC can't output [email protected] and i'm not sure if there is anyway to drive it @ 1080P/120hz (without upscaling)

How are you finding the LG mate?

Yeh that's what I've found out from reading online. I'm still seeing conflicting reports on whether this is a 50/60hz or a 100/120hz panel. But looking at the manual the PC resolution suggests 60hz max

I haven't got the Sammy mate - I have got the LG. Plex was not that great a couple of years back so I am trying Nero Media Essentials - I am not bothered with fancy stuff like cover art - just want something that works :smiley:

What's the difference with the UE55JU6410 vs UE55JU6400? All I can see is the PQI is 1000 instead of 900 but from what I've read it's not likely that much of a jump in quality.

You good people know a lot I don't

Bloody John Lewis price match is a joke these days - JL refused to price match because the 'other store did not give a free of charge re-delivery IF you cancelled the first delivery'!

I tried to escalate this saying I was not going to cancel the first delivery but they didn't want to know. I gave my business to the other store instead.

It's both. It is a black stand with a brushed steel effect strip along the front edge. I have this model TV.
If you zoom in on the picture you can see this.

Is the stand silver though? Hard to tell on the pics

Well that code will work on any tvs coop have over £600 so it might be worth a butchers on there

out of stock

What is dynamic resolution ? Static 2160p is obvious, but how many lines is there in motion ? Mid-range class in tests achieve 450-500 lines (it might be shock for some of you that 4K TVs offer WORSE movie quality than 1080p TVs).

Has anyone had a price match from John Lewis for this TV deal?

Hot from great deal :-( shame no £££

the DLNA support isn't bad on the 6400 but If your streaming lots of home stored media install Plex media server on your media source (if you can) and then the Plex client on the Samsung from the App store.
Plex works really well on the Samsung's and for the odd file it does struggle with it gives you all the transcoding options you need to get playback working.
also gives you a far nicer interface on the TV with decent cover art and bookmarking of part watched media as well as watched/unwatched tags

This or the SAMSUNG UE50JU6800?
See http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/samsung-ue50ju6800-smart-ultra-hd-4k-50-led-tv-with-latest-nano-crystal-technology-2360769

Ill bulletin point some random stuff to quote!

-Sony reps will always hug sales staff to sell there own gear so they get to keep their jobs ! So ignore the sales pitch.
-I would recommend anyone go in person and check the tv yourself in Currys, JL, check colours, contrast, angles etc
-No difference between 6410 or 6400, its usually just the bezel colour of the TV being silver etc
-Regardless of brand/model try this guide out: https://www.avforums.com/PicturePerfect/ -will improve your quality pic
-Try and price match it with JL, it did not work for me with co-op but it was ages ago so worth a try.

Otherwise cant disagree with Richer sounds or JL, I opted with JL through a successful price promise with Crampton and Moore Store, they prefer to do it with actual physical stores which are close by to JL stores and should have stock, the usual online electronic places and they don't price promise ie amazon etc . Also I went with JL since they offer free collection from your home, repair and then deliver service. You of course get excellent customer service with JL, they also have a 100% no quibble if you don't like it return for refund policy within 14 days. Unsure if richer sounds offer same.

Otherwise the 6400 series is still an excellent TV set, great deep detailed blacks, solid colours and decent enough viewing angles. The newer Sonys and LGs use IPS panels so better colours, and angles but poorer blacks, at least with Samsung its got a decent all round performance in all areas.

ha - I thought the same with the AV Forums settings. I still have not messed around with the settings yet - have spent most of my time trying to get the best out of the DLNA, and may have just got that sorted too :smiley:

totally agree - but as we had £300 of LoveToShop vouchers to spend we chose to get our TV at Curry's.

after a lot of searching around I went for :- Samsung 55" from John Lewis with 5 year warranty Freeview and FreeSat Ultra HD - John Lewis cheaper than anywhere else!
http://www.johnlewis.com/samsung-ue55ju6410-led-4k-ultra-hd-smart-tv-55-with-freeview-hd-freesat-hd-and-built-in-wi-fi/p1939786

Also you can earn 4% cashback with quidco if ordered within the next 4 days

Have submitted a price match request.

This TV is superior for just £70 more http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/55-lg-4k-passive-3d-led-tv-899-john-lewis-55uf860v-2359904

i have this tv. picture is outstanding and the tizen operating system is excellent. Loads apps in seconds
if you are into that sort of thing.

I had a panasonic plasma which gave up on me after 7 years. the picture is far superior and my plasma picture was outstanding compared to friends tvs.

the price of tv's really is quite amazing, being able to get a top branded 55" 4k for £600-£850 it's tough to know when to pull the trigger and buy. The change year on year is unreal.

​I also bought this LG model yesterday and had exactly the same experience with 3 salesmen trying to push the Sony... Turns out there was a Sony rep in store that day but they even had me doubting myself they were pushing so much! Glad I stood my ground and went for the LG.
Have to say though I wasn't impressed with the picture settings on AV forums, and I ended up resetting to the factory settings. Will play around with it a bit more tomorrow but very happy so far.

And if you think any retailer will simply hand over a new TV once the 12m warranty has expired if you spout the above then dream on .even Curry's have started offering 5 years warranty on a number of tv.Def try price match with JL for no hassle 5 years viewing.

I'm looking to pay £1300 for a tv which is 4k, oled and flat.

Havnt seen any good deal in that price range

Thanks guys

Is it 'Always bet on Black' black???

:smile:

How black is the surround and stand? Need a nice black model to blend in with everything else I hsve

can you also set the game mode whit a PC or it is greyed out??

no 4-4-4 chroma 60HZ

The AV Forum review states it has a 10bit panel. Surely that's incorrect?

Are people saying that RS warranty is better than JL? I've always been led to believe that the JL 5 year guarantee is the major pulling point of purchasing a tv from them.

Use this review to change the settings so the picture becomes tuned to a high level. Looks amazing once done.

is this TV any good for gaming?

yes but RS warranty is a whole load easier..no arguing or getting engineers reports etc..in-home repair, loan unit while being repaired and new for old latest model if it fails in 6yrs...
Think I'd rather pay the extra £50.

JL do have it price matched to Currys.

Ah so many to choose from last few days.. Want to get a 55 inch 4k , been toying with this one, an LG 55 4k 3D (£849 currys) and the Sony 55 3D (£899 currys on offer)

One say PMI, One is PQI and the other HZ for refresh rates... What is the conversion of all 3??

So confusing!

JL dont have this model it seems

Will John Lewis price match this?

It has 4 HDMI's. It's sat in my living room

Tempted by this, as Im in the market for a 55" , as was looking at Sony / Samsung / Panasonic as the options.

Any alternatives deals I should be considering?

hum - this vs this: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sony-kd-55x8005c-55-inch-4k-uhd-widescreen-smart-tv-with-freeview-599-amazon-2360900?p=26941076

Buy a switch :stuck_out_tongue:

Is this the Samsung model that everyone keeps moaning on about? That its bottom of the range hence the price cut?

Great price
