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.

Got mine last Thursday and have to say that I won't buying any TV other OLED from now on - the picture is outstanding, and I'm critical. This is the first TV I've had that beats my expensive Plasma for picture quality and there's not of that weird smearing that happens with the LED I have in the front room - which was Sammy's top panel a couple of years ago. I'm amazed how good it is on normal HD broadcasts, the picture just stays looking clean and detailed. Goes without saying that the colours and blacks are phenomenal but I just didn't expect to keep being 'wowed'.
The interface, whilst it works blindingly well and I love the magic remote, is a tad sluggish for me - if it was faster I would be giving it 10/10.
I know it's not 4K, I know the interface can at times be slow but jeez - the picture is exceptional.

Bought this along with a bracket from amazon on 36 months 0% finance. Picture is spectacular and I didn't feel the need for 4k on this size TV. The curve put me off at first but it really is very subtle and you hardly notice it at all.

There will also be others. They're all due about the end of the year. For example AOC AGON AG352UCX / AG352UCG, and Acer XZ350CK. BenQ is also possible but nothing known about just that they have a gap in their lineup.

The fact of the matter is this is the bottom of the range OLED TV and at its price point they are only available curved.
The next cheapest models when I bought mine were both £1,800 4k OLED sets in flat or curved. I actually very marginally preferred the picture on the curved one to the flat when I viewed them in the shop. The model up that I thought was worth paying extra over the base 910v model was a 65" oled costing several grand.
I choose a TV on picture quality, price, reviews and guarantees, and don't give a toss if the screen is curved or not if it doesn't adversely affect the picture.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek with my comment, but to put it another way, the losers that wall mount Polaroids and Blaupunkts etc. don't need to worry about those brands launching a curved TV anytime soon.

To be honest the curve in the LG oled range is so slight in comparison to other brands, it's really in my opinion not an issue (not that I own one :wink:)

Because it's one of those things that you will probably be ashamed of in a year or two.looks stupid and provides no benefit.
some simple minded folks thought it's the future,(like the guy above who said those who are opposed curved tvs are those who cannot afford them! lmao ),whereas most top of the range 4K tvs including LG OLEDs are not curved.

If it is just a gimmick why would you object to buying it? Where is a cheaper 1080p 55" OLED flat TV deal?
Frankly you are ranting, curved may not be worth paying extra for, but, in this case you are not anyway.

I'm all for OLED,the absolute superior technology for screens,but I dont understand why you think all OLEDs or all top of the range tvs are curved? they are not!
curve was just a gimmick implated into tvs 2 years ago,now slowly being abandoned.
2 years from now I guarantee there will be no curved tv just like 3D.

The problem is you have no idea about the high end tvs pricing.so you think curved tvs are the most expensive ones? curved tvs are almost outdated already.
if you go out and check the very best tvs you will see that flat screen oleds are the most expensive not curved.having curve has not much to do with the price or the rating of the tv.
You are a good example of the consumer market targeted by this gimmick.
you went out and bought one,now you think whatever that is not curved does not mach up :laughing:

Well these OLED screens are so thin that if they weren't curved, they'd probably droop :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh my god it's curved, and in the wrong direction, CRTs used to be convex. I guess I better send mine back, shame because the picture is fantastic, with better contrast than a hi-black screen Sony Trinitron! :wink:
I think these actually have less of a curve in them than standard Led lit LCD curved sets and can't say it bothers me as I don't really notice, and the picture is good over a very wide range of viewing angles unlike many LCD screens.

What happens if there's a fault after the 1 year warranty? Anyone know where is good for extended warranty?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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