Waiting for the 4k, hdr, vestel police... :man:

i've been waiting years for OLED because of the problems we get with LCD so a bit longer won't hurt
I understand where you're coming from but i don't want a comprimise, i want the full shebang

Someone shared this gif here a few weeks ago, i haven't looked at the LG logo the same since :laughing:

And, like with HD, Sky won't likely broadcast in full 4K quality. If you compare a movie watched in Sky HD to one on Blu-Ray which, in theory, should be of the same quality, you'll see the impact of poor compression on Sky broadcasts.

Just think, a Sky Q Silver Bundle has an 18-month contract at £71 per month if you include Sky Movies. I'm guessing the average price over 18-months will be closer to £85 p/m when you include inevitable price rises and the additional cost of 4K when released.

With a Netflix 4K subscription costing £9 p/m, the additional cost of Sky over Netflix would be £1,368 over 18 months - more than enough to cover a 4K blu-ray player and 4 discs per month.

One option leaves you with nothing if you choose to cancel at the end of 18 months. The other leaves you with a 4K bluray player and a collection of over 70 movies.

The problem with technology is that there's always something better around the corner.

If you decide to wait for the latest and greatest you've read about, you'll never buy anything.

Therefore, you can't wait for the latest and greatest - at some point you just need to decide that current technology represents enough of advancement over your current technology to make the outlay worthwhile. For a lot of people, an £899 outlay means that the jump from LCD/LED is very worthwhile.

looks like a great price!

so is it a flat panel again now it's been refurbished? :laughing:

i'm STILL waiting for direct-emission OLED TVs :smirk: i read samsung haven't given up, they've just been delayed
EDT:for those who don't know:
direct-emission OLEDs do not use a filter, LG use WRGB (White-OLED with color filters, or WOLED-CF)

The LG 950 version looks so good every time I got into Currys wish it was 70" and more importantly I had the money for it :smiley:

Waiting for the 4k, hdr, vestel police... :man:

non 4k with 100ms input lag

HDR comments incoming :smirk:

The 910 is £999 from the same supplier as well.

Great screen but the WebOS is complete poop.

I thought webOS was considered to be the best TV OS? That's what most reviews state anyway. Never used it so can't comment but it seems to be rated higher than Tizen, Firefox and android performance wise. I guess the lack of apps is a negative. Can't say I buy a tv for apps though. Give me netflix, iplayer and youtube and that's me.

used webOS on the 910 - works perfect.

I have this tv and you don't need 4k. This picture is the best I've had and I've had Samsung and a panny.

What's the screen life like on these?

Complete tosh.We have a Samsung and Sony smart TV but neither holds a candle to the lg web os

Best

Couldn't agree more.

It's TV will most probably be current for next 4 years. There is so little 4k content just now, it's probably 4 years off till we have a viable amount content to warrant a oled, 4k hdr at £2000+! So it's probably a good buy and enjoy beautiful full HD images for next few years. Save a bit and buy a beautiful a TV when 4k content is supported by Sky/ V media!

Sky launch sport 4K a 4K movie channel and Atlantic 4K on the skyq box from August so not too far away :smiley:

Tempted, but been stung by big LG TVs going faulty just out of warranty before ( this was 6 years ago ) and had one Samsung that has lasted since. Anyone know if they have improved or still questionable life ?

Sky are bringing out 4k sport this year along with movies and some other channel

I have the 910 - picture is so much better than my 4k Panasonic (which cost more). For main TV would always go OLED now

And therein lies the problem. OLED would have been considered the full shebang a few years ago, and still is for most people. What you are considering the full shebang now will not be the full shebang when it's released in a few years. At that point, there'll be something else on the horizon and the wait will continue.

OLED is the Future, I would rather have a 1080 OLED than a 4k HDR.

Problem is price, once the price begins to drop when the production yields go up I will be in

And another £10 a month bites the dust

True :disappointed:

It's sluggish, takes ages to load and the apps store is terrible.

The screen and colour/price are great.

Check out the reviews of LG.
Check out the reviews of Sony and Samsung Android TV's vs. WebOS2.

I just wouldn't buy LG for WEBOS2 from experience and the competition.

Unless you get the wand that speeds things up.

Agreed, mine is slow as heck as well, and that's with a new CPU installed etc.

Still, I can live with it for the image quality.

Don't need to read reviews as I own the TVs in question ,new Samsung os is terrible with half of catchup channels missing on launch ,andriod problems are well documented on HUKD.Lg webos has been tip top.

Would want 5 yr warranty when paying nearly 1k. Great tv but poor warranty..

if i can find a TV that has low input lag with very good motion blur reduction... and a great picture without annoying problems that LCD suffers from then i'll be happy :smiley:
i just read this :disappointed: looks like samsung aren't going to make direct-imission OLED after all
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/137516-samsung-says-no-to-oled-tvs-for-2017-something-else-is-coming

good point and i thought 1080i or 720p was the max we could receive through a satellite dish

A lot of these sets sufferd from terrible banding be careful

What's the motion handling like?

If you do get one with issues it is worth contacting LG as they have been resolving this under warranty.

HUKD pick? Interesting :laughing:

return to base warranty could be interesting with a 55" TV if it develops a fault.

Utter rubbish unless you're using it with just a normal remote.WebOS is designed to be used with the magic remote and it works like a dream with one.

Samsung use Tizen not Android and just about every expert reviewer rates WebOS miles ahead of all other TV OS's.

Bandwidth is the problem, there simply isn't enough of it available to match a disc but that said like Netflix 4k streams they will still look better than standard Blu Ray.

Also not sure where you get your prices from, 4k Blu Ray players currently start at £429 and most discs are in the £20-25 price bracket.

​While it's true there has been next to nothing in terms of 4K content over the past few years, and it has been hilarious watching idiots rush out and spend silly money purchasing a 4K TV that they can't get the most out of.
However come October/November PlayStation will release the PS4K and as history serves this will be the flame that ignites the 4K market, just as it did PS2 for DVD & PS3 for Blu-ray.

http://it-supplier.co.uk/samsung-ubd-k8500-4k-uhd-blu-ray-player-black-ubd-k8500

There's one for less than £320. It's true that most discs are at £20 but the cheapest that you could have had one to date is £8.99 and we're still in the initial months of UHD availability - which means you're still paying the early adopter premium. It's reasonable to assume that your average disc cost over the next 18 months will be closer to £15.

It's not even known yet if the ps4k will even have a UHD player. For all we know it will just be used for 4k streaming. 4k gaming is a no go on it.

not forgetting sky q uhd starts broadcasting in uhd from the 13th of next month
