They only offer the 49uf770v for £579 with a 5 year warranty. The 850v is a superior set in a number of areas (build , 3D, sound) and well worth the extra £50 in my opinion.

JL have that model at £599.00 where is it £449 for them to price match? cheers

Haha but yeah the Sony is very good :stuck_out_tongue:

I went in to buy this tv at the end of November when it was £649 at Currys. The 850 model was in a room by itself with nothing really to compare it to but the 770v was in a row next to Samsung's 50" JU6800 and Sony 50" 809C. Whilst LG have been very clever developing a UHD video which is very much like a picture slide show which shows the true quality of the picture, television programmes are not like that. I set all three tv's up to bbc1 as my Currys has freeview going to most if not all of their sets. I didn't like the picture quality of the Samsung, LG was better but the Sony was the best easily on BBC1, even on BBC1 HD Sony was better in my opinion. No evidence of any upscaling effect of terrestrial tv channels in HD. Playing the very cleverly designed demo videos on all three sets there was nothing to choose, LG maybe slightly better but if I had been buying that day it would have been the Sony due to the fact it clearly had a better picture for normal freeview programmes. Magic remote is a very nice gimmick. LG would have been my second choice but my only concern with LG is judder on slow panning which is what my current LG (2014 model) does. I think other brands upscale better but not much to choose between them, just being picky but I find myself every time I go into Currys checking the Sony to see if it has come back down to £549 which is how much it was in November.

Passive 3D on the LG is a totally different league to Active, 4K means its also Full HD resolution. LG TV's also are much better at processing low quality SD channels like 4 Music. For the same £, the choice is easy.

I had to contact them a few times too. My paperwork arrived last week.

They should have put it on your receipt that's how it normally works with Currys. As far as I know it isn't a manufacturer's warranty being offered, it's Currys own basic cover. They normally add that at the till. Go and ask in store as though your a new customer and see what they say. It would take a screen shot of their advert just for piece of mind in the future.

No the 5 year warranty that comes with the tv (allegedly) is just a standard warranty if it breaks. The extra £139.00 adds additional features of the standard warranty. One interesting exclusion is this one.

Repairing or replacing a product which has been exposed to insect infestation (or similar phenomenon) or human or animal
fluid/matter.

There was an instance last year where Currys refused the warranty on someone's tv as it had a dead fly in it. Shouldn't have that issue with an LG if it's the same mine as there are no vents in it. The back is completely sealed.

Someone else posted about the 5 year warranty who had purchased one. It should state it on your receipt. If it doesn't make sure you take a screen shot of the advert as you may just need to prove your tv came with a 5 year warranty as they may try and wriggle out of a claim in two or three years time as you have no proof.

Which are often utterly clueless. I've noticed many errors in their magazines or oversights or simply missing information which is important about a product. I'd take their reviews with a pinch of salt. There are proper AV sites and magazines that check and review televisions properly.

61%? Is that good? :confused:

Sure it wasn't the 55" that was £850? I have the 55" and paid £849 with 13% quidco in November. (Which I'm still waiting on)

I seem to recall hearing that the latest software update unlocked this capability. Hopefully someone else can confirm this for you.

Magic remote included. Also comes with a pair of 3D glasses :-)

One can haggle (barter) anywhere.

That's a shame as must have been a defective unit. I've had no bleeding problems and had no issues with motion blur.

I'm pretty sure it's 120Hz
