Really wouldn't recommend this, the Android UI on the lower end TV's is sluggish, picture isn't HDR (forget their spiel) and you're much better off saving towards a Samsung KS7000 which can be had for £770ish if you intend on keeping this for a couple of years.
If you're not bothered about a proper 10-bit HDR TV, save some cash and get a Hisense, then move to a proper 10-bit in 2 years once prices and technology are commonplace.
Just my opinion, but current generation TV's are going to get heavily discounted I think leading in to spring. Not voting.

More like deals of several days, not the first time it's been this price.
Just a word of warning, I ordered one of these. Amazon used Hermes for my shipment. After almost two weeks of messing with deliveries allegedly having been made and the TV left at the rear of the house where no rear access was available Amazon asked me to declare the shipment stolen to the police only for them to admit a few days later it was a mistake and the TV was on Hermes depot.
Their own logistics are very good, but where they use third parties like Hermes be prepared to be disappointed. And on this occasion even Amazon customer services failed to rise to the challenge and it left a very bitter taste.
Your experience may vary.

Hermes need to rebrand themselves Herpes to be honest!
I've had 3 of 4 Amazon returns fail due to that f*** up of a business (they don't bother showing up) only for DPD to have to step in and actually do a job. Then last week I had £250 of Abercrombie stuff go walkabout for 3 days after Herpes said they had delivered something when my CCTV showed they hadn't even been to my property.
Pay peanuts, get monkeys!

Nice to see a TV with a proper stand instead of the oil filled radiator look:

Our local hermes delivery guy is fine however there is certainly something up with TVs - for the last week, each morning a TV I've ordered for my father is loaded onto a van, driven around for a bit and then checked back into the depot in crewe in the evening.
I can only presume the TV is actually lost and hermes is playing a game while they try to find it.

I know the feeling on that one. They constantly claim to have attempted delivery on the day they are supposed to deliver but then actually deliver the next day or whatever. I think its the actual courier person not being able to get all deliveries done on that day so they just claim to have made an attempt but then do it the next day instead.

That's horrendous, I've also had to report an item stolen that Amazon logistics put in my bin. The bin was on the front as it was bin collection day! So my keyboard is now in land fill somewhere!
Police were a bit reluctant to give me a crime reference number as you can imagine as it wasn't stolen by the bin collection guys persay.

Trouble with Sony now is that they face very stiff competition from Hisense. My Hisense TV is half the cost of a Sony and boots up almost instantly including getting a web connection.

I'd also like to second this- Hermes seem to think my wheelie bin is my front door, and everything just gets taken after they "deliver it". They don't even ring the bell/ walk anywhere near my front door to see if anyone's in...

I agree with all of that except £770? for a Samsung KS7000? the 49" model is about £849.99 right now and the 55" which was £849 in December is now back up to £1099
