You're pointless.

My neighbour Nelly, has this TV. We call her "4K Nell"

​I guess you can't afford a 4k TV hence being pointless :smile:

Doesn't state refresh rate in the description.

Good price. Hot

I bought it today as well. Expected date is 18 July.

Hot from me £1449 for same TV in Argos

You're pointless.

Why is 4K pointless ? It's the next stage of broadcasting .

​I guess you can't afford a 4k TV hence being pointless :smile:

At 60" 4K isn't really pointless. I know there's a lot of hype, and it depends on viewing distance, but at this size it should be pretty good and with the HDR.

Not on your tv.

This is ultra HD which isn't as good as super HD, clear as mud from lg marketing.

It's probably an rgbw panel so isn't really "proper" 4k

If I'm wrong then this is a bargain, depends how picky you are though so could still be seen as a bargain if you'd never notice this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01EBXER5K/

Is this likely to be the same (I.e. not a great 4k panel)? Got it for 399 earlier as part of prime day but now worried it won't be very good?

​yeah that looks like the same type of panel, might just be film buffs that would notice so try out first to see what your think of it?

This puts me off these panels though as it's a pretty damning verdict of the technology used in them.

"We’re confused by the purpose of an RGBW LED LCD TV. Yes, it can resolve 3840 pixels horizontally and 2160 pixels vertically (though not both at the same time), but that’s beside the point. The diluting effect of the additional white subpixel damages colour fidelity irreparably: by trying to shoehorn RGB video signals into an RGBW matrix, colour information is lost, and users will never be able to enjoy movies in the manner intended by the director"

Was this price the other day aswell, it would be good to hear from the people who bought them on the quality.

Are we certain on the model yet? Not so concerned about the RGBW. See this as the death nell for my Sky Sat package as it has Now TV built in along with Amazon, Netflix and all the terrestial Catchup.

LG 4k is pretty good. I am pleased with mine. I would be interested in this one but I'm saving up for OLED version

Are there brands that don't use these types of panels? For example is it better to look it Samsung, Sony etc? Or is it simply that all entry level 4k TV's do this?

I was so tempted by this but held off by the lack of model number. A skeptic would say it was left off on purpose
The comment about RGBW may have saved me from a BIG mistake, thanks so much!

This is a pretty good deal. Personally I'm holding off til a 55" oled is available for around this price cos I miss the inky blacks of plasma & have two couches at right angles to the screen so viewing angle is compromised by any led set.

For a lot of people this may hit the right buttons for their needs at a great price though. For that, have some heat.

​I've only read that these 2016 lg budget panels are using them but other manufacturers could be. I only researched the lg panels because of the prime deal as was interested in this myself. The other factor is Amazon only listed these models early this month at the pretend "rrp", dropped it a few days later and then again for prime day. It seemed deceptive to me...

The other model isn't the same. Look at the stands. I was aware of the rgbw post, but still decided to go with it, as there's always going to be some reason not to buy a TV, and I don't want to spend £1,500 (and we don't know it's definitely rgbw)+. 60" should give the wow factor, and I reckon the picture quality should be really good (I hope). The WebOS 3.0 looks to work well too.

The marketing of these TVs is terrible though across the board. They don't make it very clear at all.

Where did you read that these LG panels are definitely RGBW?

​I'm the same and have the last plasma penny made the st60 the black levels and motion are second to none so I can't go to any lcd screen 4k or not would need a back step .got my eye on the 4k oled lg for £1799 but just seen the new 2016 lg 4k oled at £2799

hopefully the first 4k oled will drop around £1000 by xmas fingers crossed as unsure I can justify the near 3k for TV

​lol for sure . guess they used this comment when 1080p came out

Just been reading this about the 2016 line up of LG TVs

http://www.flatpanelshd.com/article.php?subaction=showfull&id=1459247590

"Another thing that you have to be aware of when browsing LG’s LCDs is that an increasing share of the LCDs, basically all the non-“Super UHD” models, come with what LG calls M+ panels. These are RGBW LCD panels where one white subpixel is shared between each cluster of RGB pixels (unlike on LG’s OLEDs where no subpixels are shared). The jury is still out on these panels but initial testing shows that part of the 4K resolution is sacrificed to reduce power consumption. We have indicated which LCD TVs use M+ panels for each model in the overview."

​4k and ultra hd are the same

but the industry standard for high end tvs is no called

Ultra HD Premium = 4k oled sets with hdr .ie your £1700 sets and upwards

​Yes but it's a way to tell which panels are rgbw from lg as most of their UHD TV's in 2016 are, according to a website I read so don't take it as gospel, as you shouldn't from some guy on a forum who just used Google to look into a telly

im so tempted to buy thia TV...

Anyone got this TV? What do you think?

Technically not. 4K is the projection standard and has a slightly higher resolution than UHD.

Do you guys think that LG55UH615V has tje same problem as the 60inch above?

My apologies. I misread your comment so I've deleted my previous post.

Interesting info though guys. When I get the TV, I'll post back to let you know what I think, as I'm sure others will find this post in the future.

If the picture quality is crap, it'll be going back!

At the moment though I'm quite confident the quality will be fine, as from the hdtvtest results they summarise that the resolution looked the same as the rgb panel, but to their eyes the colours were not as accurate.

Ordered 10 for eBay, thanks

​Well I have ordered one as well so I'll wait for your experience. Cheers

Did you not scroll down far enough to see the pictures of smudged text? It's absolutely dire:

This WRGB TV:


vs an RGB TV:

Yes, of course I saw those pictures, along with the text of:

"To be fair, the slight loss in resolution detail on the RGBW display wasn’t really visible in most real-world content except for fine text not looking pin-sharp from a 4K PC."

Yeah I read it but as philljp says it might not be noticeable with day to day viewing, if using it as a PC monitor then yes it will be horrible. Missed the deal now but interested in philljp's opinion as I may get one if they go on offer again, I don't expect it to stay at £1300 for long

Just confirmed the model number with Amazon 60UH650V. Put in my cancellation, waiting on confirmation.

Thanks for adding this, but why'd you cancel though? We knew it was that model number anyway.

Has anyone received it yet? Mine still not dispatched. Been searching for reviews on this model but no user reviews. :disappointed:

Have you tried searching under the American model number UH6550. I bought the 55 in the deal and theres loads of reviews on the American sites.

Yeah thanks I have just done that. Reviews are average so I guess I'll have to wait for it to be delivered on Monday. I hope it's up to my expectations otherwise it'll be going back :smiley:

Mines been dispatched today, due for Monday.

My 55" has come and the picture is fantastic. Colours are vibrant! well impressed.

​what's the model number of yours?

UH615V

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. I'm looking at a this lasting me 10 years so wanted to get the best 4K and HDR I could. In the end I went for an 55UH850v that is Super UHD with both the Dolby and HDR10 standards. It also came with a 5 year warranty and a wireless soundbar. I've linked to the deal below if you are interested.

Hope your TV is great, only advice I have for you is to upgrade the firmware before you update your apps. Not only will it make a huge difference to your picture. You won't have to download the newer apps again.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-55uh850v-smart-3d-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-55-led-tv-sound-bar-bundle-1259-10-currys-2481302

Received the TV today, the first disappoment there's no lg magic remote with it. Just a normal cheap look a like remote.
Haven't test the picture quality yet. Anybody else?

Thanks for the tip Luciddestiny, where do I download the firmware from? LG website yeah?

I received mine today, and I have to same I'm very, very pleased with it. I agree I was a bit disappointed it didn't have the high end remote, but it still works really well.

If helps get an idea of my expectations, the TVs I've owned previously are a 40" Sony W Series (about 8 years old price new £1,500). An LG 47" which was about the same age. I also have an LG 21:9 35" monitor for my PC which I do Wedding and Landscape photography editing on, so I do have an eye for colours and picture quality. I've also visited Curry's on numerous times over the years, including the amazing OLED screens, so I have a fairly good idea of what picture quality to expect :smiley:

The look of the TV is very smart indeed, the brushed metal feels and looks good quality, and the profile is very slim. It comes with a low profile power cable, and the HDMI cables are plugged in to the side if you want to mount close to the wall.

I have an Nvidia Shield hooked up which can output 4K, and once hooked up it recognised the 4K 60hz output with the full wide colour profile with YCbCr444.

Watching 4K and even 1080p YouTube content I'm blown away. Sitting in my house it looks every bit as good as the high end LCD screens in Currys. The picture is smooth (Truemotion turned on) vibrant, bright and good blacks. The picture quality is very sharp.

I'm not saying if you put it side by side with a high end (non OLED) screen there would be no difference. But from memory, comparing to those in the shop (Sony/Samsung) its every bit as good.

The WebOS interface is fast, slick and responsive, and has various apps you can install including Amazon Prime Video where I watched some UHD content which was excellent. Sky HD looks great too.

Overall, very happy!!

Here's an image, please ignore the TV unit as that's going, lol

LG60UH650

I found where to update the firmware, within the TV menu. So I've done that now too and will have a further play, cheers.

One thing I like. I just played UHD HDR content from the built in Amazon app and you get a message from the TV that you're now playing HDR content, and it puts the picture settings into a dedicated HDR mode, which you can then customise if you wish.

​Thanks for your review. I have connected mine with PC but when I'm playing full screen 4k video youtube on the pc it works fine but when I press esc key to exit full screen mode the TV starts to flicker the whole display unless I switch off the TV and put it back on. Any idea what it could be? or is there a fault with my set :neutral_face:

I have seen flickering from the shield box, if I set Deep Colour mode to On in the TV General settings. I need to investigate, as it says there maybe stability issues of the hardware doesn't support deep colour. So check that.

Otherwise try try built in apps such as YouTube. I'm finding they are giving the best picture quality anyway.

Update on this. I've swapped my HDMI cable, and it now works fine, no flickering.
