buys OLED, uses the worst quality media he can for it.

Well worth every penny in my opinion. These LG OLED's make even the most expensive last gen Panasonic Plasmas look like a joke.

Are you serious? If 4K defines good quality for you, you can get any £500 TV and get it.
If you love deep contrasts and excellent blacks, then an OLED is for you. There are no TVs which have better quality than an OLED at the moment. So I would say this is hell of a deal :smiley:
If someone has not seen this in action, I would say pay the store a visit and you will be amazed :smiley:
Super HOT.

re 4k - so you will be sitting 6 feet or closer to the TV? otherwise you won't really notice the difference
HDR is is in part an effect to make up for not having OLED technology.

no they don't
their motion resolution is less than half of the last gen panny plasmas
yes they are good but atm your still better off with a plasma until all the niggles are sorted.
motion processing being the main one.

If you can wait they will be below 1k very soon, everything is going 4k now, this time next year the same tv will be this price but in 4k. Yes, i know it's only my opinion. :P

hahahahha
an LG 4k oled 55" for £1300 within a year?
I'll buy 10 if that was the case to sell them on.
will take about 5 years if not more for that to happen.

Same in Richer Sounds but with 6 year guarantee (although have to go in store). The picture quality is excellent on, the only things that put me off are the colour accuracy and poor motion handling.

I have one of these and the picture is fantastic. Constantly wowed by hd material. Sorry but the 4K and HDR is just a marketing to get you to part with hard earned cash. Where is the content. One or two shows on Amazon and Netflix. You are not likely to see any difference at the 55 end of the screen size. When I bought this it was next to the 4K oled, I could not tell the difference. Motion handling and colour accuracy are great compared to LCD. Sure they are all over blown when in Store Mode stick on cinema or expert 1 setting and you get a fantastic more realistic picture. For those that liked Plasma this is the one for you.

It's not just a marketing gimmick. 4K and HDR are the next steps on the PQ ladder, but it's more accurate to say the contents not come in disk form yet. It will be landing later this year or so with the CES announcements made for UHD players.
This OLED whilst great, does suffer from tangible issues, that anybody might want to see ironed out and get the benefit of the HDR and 4K ability from the 2016 models if they can hold out. If anybody bought their sets, of course they'll be happy. It's a great tech, but anybody that can wait a bit, probably should. Price drops will happen for the 2016 models eventually but once those land, these will naturally drop even more later this year.

Yes broadcast 4K is almost non-existent but as with Full HD and HD Ready before it, it will creep in and become the standard sooner than you think. At £1K+ a TV like this is an investment, it's going to be your main TV for a good few years surely? Even at shorter viewing distances (dictated by my small-ish living room), my 42" 1080p Sony TV betrays its low pixel density. At 55" I can imagine it's even worse. If you're spending in this region why not future-proof? This set will still produce stunning pictures, and if you're not planning on gaming at 4K or watching 4K blurays/streamed content ever then fair enough. I'm certainly planning on getting one of the 2015 LG 4K OLEDs (probably the EF950V) later this year e.g. around black Friday/xmas when they should be much cheaper.

I'd have to expect 4k for that amount of money

Personally, I would place OLED 1080p over non-OLED 4K any day. But that's just my opinion - the public view appears to favour resolution above everything else, which I personally disagree with. I've seen cheaper 4K sets look awful when playing 1080p footage (which is still far more widely available compared to 4K content).
I think whether to buy this or not will entirely depend on personal circumstances. This year will see manufacturers push 4K and HDR sets but they are going to cost a lot more than £1299 (and will take a long time to reach that price). The set I would love is LG 65EF950V (4K, OLED, HDR) - but that's £3700!!! I wouldn't mind a "cheap" OLED for the bedroom and will start to get excited once they break the £1000 mark. Getting there though - so heat OP.
