Just rang and got the £20 refunded, paid £999 on the 9th, but it was delivered last Monday so they gave back the £20.

The TV is awesome... apart from .... ive noticed when watching 'The Grand Tour' on amazon prime, the studio footage looks pretty bad with whites blown out and over saturated faces.... then sometimes when the cars are going around the track on the edges of the screen you can see tyre marks flickering up from other parts of the screen which is really annoying..... just wondered if anyone else had this issue? only got the TV last wednesday so wondered if i should get an exchange ASAP? or if its possibly a streaming / amazon prime issue.... my broadband is high speed fibre. Netflix HD looked pretty good, but again, high speed motion didnt look too clever.

I would watch out for their KNOWHOW service though, we're on our eighth repair on a Samsung TV purchased 18months ago, and refuse to replace stating their conditions say they can repair until they decide to replace.. Huge problems each time it comes back.
That said, no idea about this TV

Saw KS7000 and KS8000 49" models in Currys today . Both have their back panel bit bendy and not attached to the screen fully.
Not sure to buy this now as I am scared to wall mount with kids running around all the time beneath it.
Even getting a proper one , does not guarantee if it will stay in tact always. Looks back panel is flimsy ?
LG OLED isn't without it's flaws. Higher Input lag on HDR mode might be a deal breaker, especially considering how low input lag is on this model.

I looked at the 8599 and the ks7000 next to each other in store. The colour reproduction on the Sony was poor, even after tinkering with the settings. White's had a blue tint to them, for example. ks7000 was much better.

LG have to pay to use the Dolby Vision logo.
There are no 12 bit TVs at the moment and no TV has gone beyond 1400 nits at the moment.
In fact there is a new standard that's even better called Paperboy2ProVisual. 16 Bit colour. 9,900 nits and Rec2037 coloyr standard. Fee for using the Paperboy2 logo is negotiable.
seanieb87
14 Nov 16#116
I'm confused! So how can some of the LG sets can be labelled as Dolby vision yet only have 8-bit panels?
slliw
14 Nov 161#115
You can buy one of the 2016 LG OLED models that does both but then you start moving into really pricey territories.

Looks like Dolby Vision is the way to go and HDR is inferior.
mcormack
14 Nov 16#113
DOLBY VISION VS HDR 10 – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
The main specification differences are that masters of movies are done at 12-bit, rather than HDR 10’s 10 bits. Also, peak brightness can go – in theory, at least – right up to 10,000 lumens. In reality, most Dolby Vision masters seem to be targeting 4,000 nits – which remains a very big step up from the 1,000 nits that HDR 10 masters work to.
But most significant is how Dolby Vision uses frame-by-frame metadata to manage HDR performance. This helps to deliver the best results as it adapts the source material to the performance of your TV.
Of course, this also means any players you use must support Dolby Vision as well. As yet, the two Ultra HD Blu-ray players announced by Sony and Panasonic don’t, but presumably LG must have a Dolby Vision player in the works to go with its TVs.
And, in case you were concerned, anything that supports Dolby Vision supports HDR 10 by default, it just doesn’t work in the reverse.
All SUHD TVs are Ultra HD Certified and are able to show DCI-P3 cinema colur, 1000nits peak brightnes and be 10 Bit panels able to not only read HDR signals but show 1 billion shades of colur as opposed to around 17 milion shades for 8 Bit panels.

I stand corrected. On the UK Samsung site, it now states that the KS7000s all support 10-bit.
deb8z
14 Nov 16#110
I'm not sure they aren't on commission as we were getting the hard sell on Samsung when we were looking at a Panasonic as well,didn't realise he worked for Samsung at the beginning.

14 Nov 16#109
have you got link from official source that states UK KS7000 are 10-bit not 8-bit?
leemh24
13 Nov 16#108
tbf they didn't pressure us into anything and it was the Samsung guy (who isn't on commission or part of currys) who recommended it. The picture quality and depth was obviously better on the curved when compared to the flat or I wouldn't have even questioned getting the one I went into get in the 1st place.
paperboy2
13 Nov 16#107

And if curved TVs were the cheaper of the two they would have sold you on the flat. Curve's a gimmick
leemh24
13 Nov 16#104
Yes we are putting it on a cabinet. The ones mounted in the shop looked more than comfortable on the wall so can't see why they wouldn't in your home.
As for the reviews I didn't read any before purchasing because it wasn't the TV I originally went into get. The demo video just blew me away compared to the flat version and luckily they had a Samsung representative in store who pretty much said it's a no brainer if we had £300 extra to spend.
As for being any cheaper on black friday they said no chance on either tv but if there was a difference they would price match.

I am looking for a 55 inch tv hopefully on BF. As I am not keen on the legs on this Samsung model , What would be the the equivalent spec on a Sony model. KD 558599BU £999 or KD55XD8005 £949 at John Lewis prices? I do not require it for gaming just 4K content. Thanks.

11 Nov 16#91
First of all you need to ask yourself if you are going to be watching any 4K content in the next few years, and then you need to ask if you are a hardcore gamer.
If you simply want to watch 1080p movies and sport then it is a no-brainer to go for the OLED.

11 Nov 161#90
Most of the new 8 bit TV's have 10 bit dithering so to all intents and purposes are 10 bit capable. I highly doubt if you had an 8 bit and a 10 bit TV side by side you could tell the difference or see the extra millions of colours ...
mcormack

The LG doesn't have 4k.

Can anyone tell me why this is better than the UE55KU6400, which is currently at £699?

Does anyone know the distance between the legs front to back on the 49'' model?

Hi You are not able to do this for collection in store. However take your transaction online all the way through to final purchase and take a picture / screen shot then take copy to store and they may let you take one .
Currys have made a small error in the coupon code allowing this to be deducted without adding free delivery/installation.
Now that most stores have a price of £999 I can see that you may be able to get a further discount of 10% on Black Friday / Cyber Monday however the price has dropped to a very good buy it now price !
dannyjones106
10 Nov 16#76
You've gotten yourself a great deal there! I don't think there's any way the branch I bought it from would have let me have it for £954...well done for calling their bluff though!
Alnilam81
10 Nov 161#75
When I ordered it on Monday I did a collect at store at the then full £1099 price and then just asked about the £30 code (which was on at the time) when I went in, they were fine and they took that off at the till. They seem to have a sheet of codes next to the tills they just scan.
The KS7000 code is a bit weird though as it says it gives you free delivery and installation and then just says -£45, so they might not be so happy to do it, they took a bit of persuasion today, but did do it eventually when we argued we could just order a fresh one at the cheaper and return it to the store using the original reciept.
The TV is superb though, only negative really is the legs as they are crazy far apart, which means you need a massive cabinet etc. to put it on.

I picked mine up yesterday, looks like I got a decent one. The back panel is firmly attached and the light bleed is minimal. If you are to get one, make sure you check it out thoroughly.
As slannmage says, there really are no other options right now but the KS7000 range for HDR gaming with excellent response times. I will be holding on to this TV until OLED technology matures (faster response times!) and drops in price.
It's a stunning TV, Netflix 4K looks incredible!

slannmage
10 Nov 161#57
I've done a ton of research and this is the best TV you can get in the price range, nothing else comes close. It's especially good for HDR gaming since the latency is so low, it's a true 10bit panel and the HDR performance is great. The local dimming isn't great, but the black levels are good enough and you cannot get good local dimming on an LCD right now. Obviously OLED will perform better there, but black levels aren't everything and OLED has a whole host of problems that no one seems to go on about... the main ones being how OLED fades quite quickly and suffers from burn in like plasma.
The only other cheaper option is the Sony Bravia KD43XD8077... but that's if you want a smaller TV.
2StepSteve
9 Nov 16#56
Sub £800? What you smoking? I very much doubt it, this TV has already jumped down from £1400 to £1000 in the space of a couple of months. With the £100 price drop today, it makes it very unlikely to drop at all on Black Friday.
Alnilam81

One of the guys there who was working for LG brand, said that they did a test on HDR 8bit panel vs10 bit panel and couldnt see the difference. I must say though im very impressed with the FHD quality on sky, and amazing 4K pictprior I had 2014 Sony 7 series. But wondering if this one would be better then Panasonic?

I purchased this TV when it launched and love it. Great balance of features and price. Only 1 slight drawback i've found is that viewing in low light can sometimes show the backlight bands when they're trying to light a bright object in the middle of the screen on a dark background i.e. the playstation 4 logo on the startup screen - doesn't bother me though. Great deal.

I am loving this TV so far, and not sure if the previous comment about the Grand Tour means your set is duff, as when I watched it in HDR it was flawless!
That said, no idea about this TV
Not sure to buy this now as I am scared to wall mount with kids running around all the time beneath it.
Even getting a proper one , does not guarantee if it will stay in tact always. Looks back panel is flimsy ?
Now at £1179.99
There are no 12 bit TVs at the moment and no TV has gone beyond 1400 nits at the moment.
In fact there is a new standard that's even better called Paperboy2ProVisual. 16 Bit colour. 9,900 nits and Rec2037 coloyr standard. Fee for using the Paperboy2 logo is negotiable.
The main specification differences are that masters of movies are done at 12-bit, rather than HDR 10’s 10 bits. Also, peak brightness can go – in theory, at least – right up to 10,000 lumens. In reality, most Dolby Vision masters seem to be targeting 4,000 nits – which remains a very big step up from the 1,000 nits that HDR 10 masters work to.
But most significant is how Dolby Vision uses frame-by-frame metadata to manage HDR performance. This helps to deliver the best results as it adapts the source material to the performance of your TV.

This is why Dolby Vision requires extra hardware, and why HDR 10 / Ultra HD Premium will be more prevalent, but the Dolby argument is this hardware will deliver better picture quality.
Of course, this also means any players you use must support Dolby Vision as well. As yet, the two Ultra HD Blu-ray players announced by Sony and Panasonic don’t, but presumably LG must have a Dolby Vision player in the works to go with its TVs.
And, in case you were concerned, anything that supports Dolby Vision supports HDR 10 by default, it just doesn’t work in the reverse.

All SUHD TVs are Ultra HD Certified and are able to show DCI-P3 cinema colur, 1000nits peak brightnes and be 10 Bit panels able to not only read HDR signals but show 1 billion shades of colur as opposed to around 17 milion shades for 8 Bit panels.
As for the reviews I didn't read any before purchasing because it wasn't the TV I originally went into get. The demo video just blew me away compared to the flat version and luckily they had a Samsung representative in store who pretty much said it's a no brainer if we had £300 extra to spend.
As for being any cheaper on black friday they said no chance on either tv but if there was a difference they would price match.
I'm not sure wall mounting a curved TV would work.
Anybody have any thoughts ?
With £300 off as well making it 1299.99 I couldn't resist. Both are fantastic tv's
Carry on everyone.
If you simply want to watch 1080p movies and sport then it is a no-brainer to go for the OLED.
The Samsung does not have the 3D
Not sure what to do?
I'm looking to purchase a new 55" tv, primarily for watching tv and the odd movie and need some advice on the difference between the two.
I will be wall mounting anyway so not really an issue, assuming the back doesn't fall off when you wall mount these!
That video is for previous year's models.
Currys have made a small error in the coupon code allowing this to be deducted without adding free delivery/installation.
Now that most stores have a price of £999 I can see that you may be able to get a further discount of 10% on Black Friday / Cyber Monday however the price has dropped to a very good buy it now price !
The KS7000 code is a bit weird though as it says it gives you free delivery and installation and then just says -£45, so they might not be so happy to do it, they took a bit of persuasion today, but did do it eventually when we argued we could just order a fresh one at the cheaper and return it to the store using the original reciept.
The TV is superb though, only negative really is the legs as they are crazy far apart, which means you need a massive cabinet etc. to put it on.
With KnowHow, according to my receipt
To 2StepSteve - I bought mine on Monday, the website says within 7 days they'll match.
Just wish there was some other way to link my BR HTK other than optical cable so as to avoid lip sync / audio delay issues!
As slannmage says, there really are no other options right now but the KS7000 range for HDR gaming with excellent response times. I will be holding on to this TV until OLED technology matures (faster response times!) and drops in price.
It's a stunning TV, Netflix 4K looks incredible!

The only other cheaper option is the Sony Bravia KD43XD8077... but that's if you want a smaller TV.

smart remote doesn't work too well with sky q, but it works great with the old sky+ ones.
It's been stated that the 55" 6100 will be on Black Friday sale but is it worth waiting or getting either of these models ?
But of course I could be very wrong!
Looking for a new TV but don't fancy spending any more than £700 for a 50"~ and review sites are pretty useless unless you're spending £1500+.
Cancelled my JL order (because of ridiculous delivery times) and bought at RS yesterday.
Was gutted to see this but they are refunding the difference. Awesome customer service from RS.
And.....TV is totally stunning. So so happy
thx OP
Scrap that its in big blue letters at the top!!
It's fab :smile: and it doesn't have a stupid base on it or silly looking feet :laughing:
