Currently 999 from Currys. Great TV. Cheapest I've seen it at the moment. Use code GIFT100 for the extra £100 off.

it hit that price on black Friday, seems to be a lot of interest in this tv at this price as it's apparently proper 10 bit. I hope the price goes lower because I'm after one but I don't think it will.

You will often find the price of TV's drop over time. Sometimes they go up, but only if they become rare or owned by a celebrity. I bought a 2003 Sony Trinitron 32" for £10,000 last week because it was owned by David Beckham. Result!!

It's not about the bits (as the difference between 8bit and 10bit is minimal, especially at a normal viewing distance and when you factor in dithered 8bit to emulate 10bit) - it's all about the nits! Anything near 1000nits and you'll see what HDR is all about, and I think this is one of the few mid-price TV's that manages anywhere near that.

Not sure if this is the 10 bit panel (thought only the 8000 & 9000 series were)? However to say 10 bit verses 8 bit it minimal seems a bit off seeing as the difference between over 1 Billion colours verses 17 Million colours sounds like an aweful lot to me!

You are right, the difference between 1billion and 17million is quite large, but then we are effectively talking about gradiation between colours, and you'd have to sit very close to the screen to see or determine that sort of minute changes in colour - it's declining ratios of return as there's not enough pixels on the screen to show that number of colours in the first place. The benefits of HDR are mainly in extension of range and contrast, and this is mainly determined by the comparative difference between light and dark - effectively the dynamic range of light, and nits is the most effective way to measure this on an LED display.
As mentioned above, OLED are able to start at a lower black level as they effectively pass no light, whereas LED start at grey and have a range that extends upwards from that - for LED the brighter the better as long as you can maintain the bottom of the range effectively. Whilst it has been mentioned that it's not all about nits but range, it is difficult (impossible) to attain that range without the nits (at least not on LED).

this TV is definitely 10 bit from what I've read

It's not about peak nits, it's about range. LED go high but OLED go low. It's why they can all be certified. TV tech will probably level out and become affordable at a reference level in a few years if you really want to wait that long.
Question is, would you rater have a K7000 or OLED 4k set if offered at the same price? Only one answer.
