10% cashback with Quidco if you pay online at the minute, not sure if it will work with code though?

10-bit content has more detail in the bright areas of the picture, and more details in the dark parts of the picture. It can also have a greater range between the brightest and darkest parts of the picture.
It wall also have more shades of colour.
You probably won't see a 10 bit panel at 55 inch down to this price for a while though.

Is there any difference between this and theLG 55UH668V available at the same price but seemingly exclusive to Currys? There are skinny reviews on both online but spec-wise they seem to be virtually identical. Yes, there is a 10% Quidco cashback for Currys too since you ask.

If you asking about the Xbox One S
it needs to be 10 bit if i remember correctly and has to have HDR
not sure myself as i am looking forward to the xbox scorpio but if you look it up there will be the minimum specs needed for the xbox one s
Im really not bothered by 10 bit panels, they are near £1000 compared to £500, and you just know they will supersede those with something better anyway. I doubt even a Black Friday sale will get 10bit panels down. I fancy the Panasonic TX-50DX700b but cheapest I've seen that is £611. No idea what LG's are like.
4k is miles away, we havent even got Full HD on most channels yet, I need a TV that will be good for SD and FullHD mostly.

Was looking at the 700b myself but apparently is pretty terrible for quick moving images. The LGs have a weird backlighting design which ruins any dark scenes because you can actually see the dimming of the screen as it takes place.
Seems Samsung is the only option right now at the £600 price point. Waiting for black Friday hoping the UE49KU6400 comes down.
