If you had bothered to read further on the page you will see that I already posted I hit the wrong number on my tablet.
Now let's dissect your comments.
This isn't 1st generation at all! OLED has been around for over 60 years, consumer electronics were using OLED displays in the 00 inc Mobiles, by the turn of the decade - HTC's Google Nexus One launched in Dec 2009, shipped the following January it was regarded as a fully functional mass market multimedia display tech. TV displays have been around in fully working form since around 2002 but the problem was the longevity of the displays as they tended to dim and lose colour balance very quickly, it was only nearer the end of the decade when manufacturers has managed reasonable lifetime of the displays.
LG launched consumer OLED in 2010 - 1st gen, nowhere near 2015 and as for comments about brightness it is well known than OLED tech hasn't been able to reach what LCD can but then again LCD tech can't get anywhere near the black levels OLED can at the same time as Max brightness so OLED will always give the more eye popping experience.
The next gen 2016 models panels have a boosted brightness along with better colour display - everything else is just firmware programming. You also tend to find that most people will take to a product comment when they have had issues, how many more 2015 buyers have been delighted with their TV's and also the issue of banding isn't just limited to OLED, plenty of LED TV's have suffered from the issue too.
I'll stand by my comment that currently you cannot buy a better TV than this for the money thank you very much

Remember Sky HD will look absolutely appalling on this TV! This is due to sky's compression bitrate. Google it and see for yourself, you are better sticking with OLED1080p save the £1,000 and buy a new one in a few years when there is 4K content!

Is this a true 10-bit HDR panel? It seems as if this is a 2015 model... HDR has only really taken off this year.
Also, can anyone elaborate on the quality of the upscaling of standard definition and HD content?
I couldn't find anything about the sky compression rate mentioned by one of the previous comments.
Another thing to bear in mind is, the price of this was around £1999 before Currys hiked it to £2999 under the advice of LG (when they realised that nobody else was producing OLEDs in 2016).
Richersounds had these on clearance due to the amount of returns, so might just steer clear as these were the first generation.

Great TV if not a gamer, with an input lag measured in reviews at 50 to 63 MS its off my list

Is an occasional gamer like me going to notice this?

You do realise that unless the input lag is over 100ms it really wont make a difference, between wireless controllers and other factors an added 50ms will not make any noticeable difference to the gameplay, I mean if you are using a wireless controller you've already added 50ms right there. Why do you think pro pc gamers use wired mice? People who say it has to have less than 30ms for gaming are talking out of their ****.
The only time it would even matter would be for e-sports playing counter strike professionally where every milisecond counts. for the average gamer who plays online multiplayer in games like cod and battlefield anything under 100ms is perfectly fine. These days everyone who picks up a controller think they are a pro gamer and that 50ms will actually make a difference to the gameplay haha.

If you're going to blow £1999 on a TV that will be old tech in 3 years, I'm sure a 2.5% saving isn't really going to bother you that much, is it?
