would love to know if this happens.. missed out on this and need this in my life!

Just tried mine and it's working too, guess they fixed it! It's a better version of the app than on the nowtv box as well so I'm happy.

Yes, the itv hub app seems only to work on and off, I don't know if this is a TV issue or an app issue or just an itv issue. However when it doesn't work I switch onto my now tv box and run the app through there and it works fine.

Hahaha. Top pick. I will monitor if some one else drop price lower than £650 within 28 days :smiley:

Price back to £899.

Has anybody having trouble with the apps ? Namely itv hub ? Also 4 on demand not there !

Itv hub worked for a week, now its semi frozen with a page that does nothing, can't get it to reset or get to the home page ! Any help appreciated.

finally got a delivery date. tuesday is when i get mine after all this time

That's good to know thanks. Will have a play with it later.
Didn't know you can buy a 4K hdmi splitter box ?
Any particular one that's good or any of eBay ?

I've got my Panasonic blue ray player which is also a home cinema theatre thing with loads of speakers plugged into HDMI 2 and my Now TV box in hdmi 3 .

I got mine now and all set up! We all got a bargain.
Just keep looking at it and thinking £649 + 5 year guarantee, Bargain!!!!!!
Makes my Samsung Curved LED tv picture look Jurrassic in comparison.
Well done to everyone who got it at this price.

I got my HDMI 4K splitter from amazon just type this into the search box and have a look there's quite a few to pick from some with two Or three outputs I got mine for around a tenner. Just gives you those extra HDMI outputs if you need them I also picked up two new 4K HDMI cables for a tenner for my sky hd box and blu ray player as my original HDMI cables were over 4/5 years old - so thought may as well get them to set the new tv up.

Just found you can change the special viewing mode to HDR + in the picture mode settings within the other hdmi slots once your playing through these sources. I've got my sky HD box into HDMI 1 my blu ray DVD player into HDMI 2 and a HDMI 4K splitter box with 2 outputs into HDMI 3 and got my chromecast, & amazon fire stick in that one. Also if anyone is looking for a Samsung soundbar to connect to this tv I can recommend the Samsung HWK 450 links to the Samsung TV wirelessly through their TV connect system and the sound is great.

Received yesterday & setup today. Hopefully next 5 years sorted :smiley:

We connected our Virgin box to the HDMI 1 . Great picture.
Wasn't aware that the other HDMI slots wouldn't upscale thou.
Very pleased with the tv thou, still playing with it .
Not got the Channel 4 catch-up thou on the apps.

I would let you know my impressions except John Lewis told me today when I phoned today to ask why my tv isn't here yet that the 7 days is simply the delivery to the courier for Northern Ireland customers. I now have to wait five working days for the courier to contact me to arrange a delivery date. Absolute joke. I've ordered items from China that arrived sooner

Well what does everyone think of the TV now we've had a few days to play with it. I'm really pleased with it although I'm a bit disappointed that only the hdmi 1 slot can only be used to upscale to uhd 4K or am I missing something?

Thanks. Appreciated

Yes JL version comes with 2 remotes. Normal and smart. Currys version comes with the magic remote. Not sure if you get all 3 with the currys one or just normal and magic.

Bit lost... :disappointed:
JL came with 2 or 1 remote ? Someone said above as 2.
Currys one came with magic remote. Please confirm

Yes came with the smart remote. I think the currys version comes with the magic remote as well so that could be what you're thinking of? Not bothered about the magic remote as I dont have anything else to use with it really! The guy in currys was trying to sell it to us by saying it will control our sound system, our soundbar, our blu ray player, etc- and we were like yeah we have none of those things.
I love the smart remote though, so sleek and easy to use.

Came with 2 remote controls, I didn't think this model had the smart remote?

Reduced again on John Lewis website, but only to £699 .

Sounds like a great tv. Looking forward to getting mine on Tuesday.

Came around 4pm :smiley: looks great, haven't adjusted the picture at all. Came with a normal remote control and a smart remote. Had to do some assembly including screwing the stand onto the TV so make sure you have a screwdriver around. It has the freeview HD channels which look great, although I know these may only be a novelty to me as I haven't had them before. Also comes pre loaded with a bunch of apps etc. No Nowtv app which is a shame, but the Nowtv box hooked up looks great on it.

Also I don't understand why people say you need a soundbar as it sounds great to me. But as mentioned my last TV was old so maybe I just don't notice these things!

It's 2pm has it come lol

Yes no probs! However I'm not massively technical so not sure how much I'll be messing with the picture settings. Maybe I need one of those dvds that auto optimises the picture for you. It's due 2-9 and we got a text confirming delivery yesterday so hopefully it comes on time!

Can you take some time out today to give us your thoughts on the TV and your picture settings once you've got it up and running I've got mine coming on Tuesday ordered on xmas night for 649 and received all relevant emails on the order and the 5 year guarantee almost immediately.

I gave in and called them. Mine is due for delivery on 4th. Not sure why they don't confirm this without me having to call but at least now I know and can leave the house without worry they may attempt delivery

Mines due Friday so will let you know when it comes! Bit odd that you haven't had the guarantee email, could always ring JL to ask

they've took my money but still waiting on anything in addition to the order confirmation email. i know it's Christmas and all that but i expected better communication from them. It's not a small value item

No not yet, Tuesday mine due. They taken payment and I've received my email regarding the 5 year warranty.

anyone took delivery of theirs yet?
Bit concerned i've heard nothing after the order confirmation email

Just gone up to 749 in store

Your happy your wife hates you , or happy about the tv lol

Ordered one for delivery on Friday. Popped into John Lewis today to have a look at it before delivery, nice looking set btw.

Anyway a friend that works there advised me of a massively reduced ex display, they just marked down. So I've bought that instead. Slightly older model but 65". Samsung UE65JU6000, with the 5 year JL guarantee.... £360!!

Thanks for the post I would never of got this other wise, It doesn't fit in my living room, the wife hates me, but i'm very happy

Merry Xmas!

Also worth popping down to your local JL as mine had about 20 ex display of varying sizes on sale. Might be worth a look.

My bad

The clue was in the words 'in store'. In stock in high Wycombe for 649.

Just looked its back to £749 !!

Still 649 in store if that helps anyone

For anyone who actually is interested in the 24p issue and not just people who desperately trying to justify the purchase of a tv only good for gamers

thanks for the advice but for some people that extra 250 pushes them way above their budget

Cheekybadger,
You are quite blatantly talking out of where the sun doesn’t shine.
Motion judder is actually an innate problem due to the movie industry standard of filming at 24fps.
If you watched particular panning shots at your beloved 24fps you would be living in judder city already!
http://www.projectorcentral.com/judder_24p.htm
https://www.cnet.com/news/what-is-1080p24/
All cinemas play at 24fps? Not necessarily! http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=65307 (see David Mullen post)
To solve the judder at 60hz on THIS tv due to 24fps original filming a telecine 3:2 pulldown (mentioned in the first two links) and frame interpolation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation) are most likely used.
As I have never noticed film judder on a modern tv at whatever frequency it played at, and I haven’t been too fussed till now to look up what it’s all about, the telecine and motion interpolation must be working just fine.
I just wanted to call you out for talking pretentious “movie buff” rubbish.
Oh and mentioning a more expensive and flat tv in this thread? Well I think King Joffery said it best…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqCcJkRcvaU

Checked my bank account this morning, £649 taken already . So far so good

I really don't think anyone except you cares about 24p. Perhaps you should start a different thread for that TV then.

JL are currently doing the 55 inch KS7000 for £900

That is only 250 more for much much more tv

True HDR and 24p support

thank you. fingers crossed

cheers, a bit nervous since the price increase

Took nearly 24hrs for mine, hang tight!

the price is now up to 749

Got my guarantee email within 30 minutes of ordering. Sure it will come soon.

Only had it for a couple of weeks, but watched a far few footy matches, which have been great.

Standard Def isn't unwatchable, but it's not fantastic either.

The tv is definitely a fantastic buy, imo.

i have my order confirmation email this morning but i haven't got the 5 year guarantee one. How long did you guys have to wait until you received it?

Just looked, nope they have changed it now, did say £649 + hdmi cable, now says £749 , again need to be quick on these deals.

yes, i got the same yesterday.. don't worry its JL :smiley:

I got an email today with my 5 year guarantee inside, so it's all looking good so far :smile: not sure if it was an error price? Seems odd to have it at £649 for one day only

200% agreed. I was expecting this, hence ordered yesterday :smiley: now waiting anxiously

That's made me feel better, bought this last night , now the price has increased. Just goes to show , you have to be quick on these deals.

Can't see the hdmi bundle

I tried above link,price is £749.00

If you get in quick you can still buy it for £649 if you add the hdmi cable bundle for £34.95 !!

£749 now- I think John Lewis realised they messed up the price match. The price match did seem wrong as the cheapest price elsewhere was £749!

I ordered this yesterday (actually posted it as a deal as well, didnt realise this one was already going!) So I'm hoping there's no dreaded 'price glitch, cancellation blah blah' email. If not, delivery on the 30th :smile:

HI mate, Do you watch much sports on the 55M7000? Does the TV make standard def look any better?

tough to choose between this and £50 for the non curved model. Other than the curve feature the specs look the same

Which is why I went for the Hisense 55m7000 - much more bang for your buck.

Most people won't notice/be bothered by motion judder...I certainly do and am!

The Hisense is a fantastic tv, if you're in the market, and I highly recommend it.

Bought one last night, but got to wait till the 2nd for delivery .
5 year guarantee good, sure Currys would charge you at least £150 for that cover !
Not had a curved tv before, can't wait to receive it, and a much bigger size than my current tv.

Im about to pull the trigger... anyone think this will go cheaper?

I didn't say life ruining- I said it's a deal breaker for film buffs- most people wouldn't even know it has a judder - it's the same reason people wonder why their big screen tv at home doesn't feel as smooth as the cinema

At the beginning of layer cake there is a panning in the drug store scene

If you don't notice it there then you are fine

The judder there is really pronounced

I really don't understand a lot of this, like 95% of normal people who buy televisions!

However, if your right and my life's ruined by this "nasty Judder effect" it's going back to John Lewis

Thank you for your report and I hope you have a nice Boxing Day and a happy Juddering free 2017.

Jesus Christ man!

24p blue at playback has nothing to do with resolution

It's 24 frames per second

All cinemas play at 24 frames per second

If you put a 4k blu ray in

You want to have 24 fps to get that true cinema experience

This set (also the 6000) force the screen to refresh at 60hz
Or 60 frames per second

Now 24 doesn't equally divide into 60
So you know what that means ?

All films have a slight judder

Samsung really are knobs to leave such an important feature out
If you are buying this tv to watch a few blu rays in 4k

The screen will look great until something pans and you notice a nasty judder effect

Great for non HDR gamers because of the low input lag

Beware though

The HDR performance is shockingly bad- the set lowers the actual brightness to fake HDR

Also movie buffs AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

No 24P mode
No 48hz mode
The set plays all films at 60hz
You are going into motion blur and judder city

It's a great panel if you go into with tempered expectations

Anyone advise me what is the better tv, this or the Samsung UE55KU6670 on sale for £799 at Currys.

Cheers paperboy2. Hadn't realised the blu ready player was part of the deal, you're right can't see it dropping to £1200. Might just have to get in on this one.

Richer Sounds has same tv in Boxing Day sale for £749, reduced from £849. I was tempted at that price but now even more so at this price. £100 difference for 1 year extra warranty doesn't work for me

Absolute Bargain, just bought one!
Have been looking at this nearly a year. Was tempted with the 49" version at £549 (Co-op with code).
But worth £100 more just for the JL 5 YEAR guarantee., and this is 55in !

Wanted this until i saw the ks9000 55". If that falls in price to around £1200 i will jump in but don't want to miss this is the the other doesn't drop in price over next few days. Opinions on whether the ks9000 will drop?

Lol ^

Definitely not.
What would you rather have, A flat woman or a curvy woman ?
The quality of my life has massively improved since I purchased my curved TV one year ago.

8bit cold

They 6400 / 6500 have a different panel. I tested the 6000 against the 6400 at Richer Sounds and the difference is night and day.

anyone know if this is good for gaming?

got it for 599 with John Lewis a month ago almost they price matched with sonic direct at the time. unbelievable picture quality. speakers are poor though.

Worth £140 more than this?...
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/samsung-ue55ku6000-55-smart-4k-ultra-hd-with-hdr-tv-509-00-with-code-ao-com-2585003

Curved seems like a useless gimmick.

Hmmmmm only an 8bit panel.

lets wait for tomorrow :smiley:

I have been looking for this TV last 3 weeks..It was 749 £ on black friday

I've got the 6400 model (same as this but not curved). Great TV imo.
