I've got the 930V from JL when it was on offer for £1200 then got it price matched for £1100. OLED gives you a brand new experience, and you'll love looking at blacks and see them blending into the frame of the TV, with extremely great contrast ratio the colours are beautiful, nothing comes close. The curve I thought was going to bother me, and I'm difficult to convince over things like this, but actually it doesn't bother me at all, and now that I have the TV for a good couple of months, I have completely forgotten about it. It's not an advantage but it doesn't seem to be a disadvantage either, I guess it's more of a personal opinion what someone likes or not. You neither will miss the 4k resolution just purely because there are only minimal 4k material out there. - hope this helps.
This 910V has got the new remote with the potential for the WebOS 3.0 upgrade if it hasn't happened already. Amazing lightning deal, good find op.

Congratulations, you've made it. I commend you on your ownership of a curved television...

Nice one, thanks :smiley: do you think it's worth an extra £100 for 5 year warranty at John Lewis?

I have had the JL warranty before and they were good when I had to claim, never claimed on the Currys 5 year warranty, but I don't see why it wouldnt be ok. Maybe someone who has had a Currys warranty will advise how it went.

Great for watching blu rays and netflix. Everything else though, and welcome to burn in.
Yes OLED tech has come a long way, but in no way is it ready for content that usually has static elements on screen for hours on end.
Case in point, parents got the new LG 4K OLED, and upon seeing it at their house I noticed a nice red band with text along the bottom at all times. It was from the mother leaving Sky News on for 3 hours every morning.
Its a shame plasma had to die. Still hanging on to one of the last Pannys made, 2nd tier, but its showing its age after 2 and a half years.... mainly due to me abusing it with games, games, and more games.
The good thing about modern plasmas at least was that burn in wasn't an issue. Any images stuck on screen from static pictures would fade very quickly. Not so much with OLED. And with OLED, you know that "burn in" is pixel degradation. Takes the shine off of it.

what about you,since you are so keen on curved screens,can you show us a scientific reason and valid test that shows curved TVs are superior in anyway?
why most of the latest high end and top of the range tvs are flat not curved? why curved screens are being forgotten?
we are talking about a TV here not about complex performance of a rocket engine or such.
you need a pair of eyes and a sound mind to reach this conclusion.
the only benefit of curved TVs is cosmetic (but most won't even agree,they loog ugly and out of place).

Extended warranties are pointless, you get 6 years with any electronic device so why pay for an extended warranty when it's part of our consumer rights?
I've just had an iMac replaced which was 5 1/2 yrs old with a brand new model as the part couldn't be sources. No extended warranty or anything.

My experience is that the people who don't like curved TVs, are generally those that can't afford one...
I have an LG 65" curved and it's fantastic, everyone who visits my home absolutely falls in love with it.
The curve is very subtle, not semi circular as someone else pointed out.

I ordered one from Selfridges for £1199 but sent it back. Black levels were good but the over all picture was not. It seemed to be a bit raw not as refined as to I have now. I preferred the Panasonic 58 dx802.
