Outstanding price for an OLED, beats most 4K TVs for picture quality and motion.

I recently bought this for £999 to replace a Samsung KS7000 due to motion issues, and this far surpasses that in all ways bar peak brightness. Colours, black levels and motion are considerably better making for a much more pleasurable watching experience.

This is also a very competent TV for gaming, the only negative spec is input lag, which I have never found to be an issue. Gameplay is so much more responsive and smooth on this compared to the KS7000 which is supposed to be one of the best TVs for gaming (but is choppy and jerky down to terrible motion handing).

I had real reservations paying 4K TV money for a 1080p screen, but I can honestly say I don't regret it, unless you are going to pay £1600 plus for 4K OLED (I would if I could), then this really is the best TV for the money. Watching grand tour on this on 1080, was every bit as good as 4K on the Samsung, although a very small amount of visible detail was lost, colours and motion are more important to me. By the time 4K content is readily available I'm sure the 4K OLED tech will be affordable anyway!

People get far too hung up on resolution alone, the picture quality on this is far better than 90% of 4K TVs at this price. Even if your TV was 8K it doesn't guarantee good accurate blacks and colours as well as decent motion handling.

That's me with the 8 yr old 720p plasma! I'm only looking at a new TV because the fancy gizmo technology is out there available, not that I need it or will ultilise all the functions. SD quality is superb and no complaints about 720p HD quality either. Best bit is I keep the £2k in my pocket.

This will always have pixellation error due to big size of the pixels. Watch near it and see squares rectangles, trapezium and other quadrilateral shapes in perfect colour without seeing the actual picture. If you sit far away the mosaic might make sense in its entirety.

If only this were a little smaller :disappointed: I'm looking at 49" max, ideally 43"ish - if anyone has any buy now recommendations (other than sit tight for the post CEX discounting) I would be grateful. Would be happy with non-4k Freeview HD and even non smart if need be. Like this supersized monster.

great price, going to wait a bit longer on the b6 for the hdr, nice to hear thoughts on the ks7000, reviews are so good but i noticed in store the demo was juddering all over the place. Does sd footage look very good on these? Currently on a 42 inch tv so bit worried 55 inch will look to stretched

Hi, as you probably know any SD content isn't going to look amazing at this screen size, although what I can say is that the SD content is far more watchable on this than both 4K TVs I returned. The hisense k5510 I had first was abysmal, the Samsung was also very poor. I would say that SD content looks good, but only good (although SD TV is the only source of this, haven't tried DVDs ect.) HD content looks great though!

Heated, good price but if you are interested in 4k Netflix, Amazon, tivo v6, sky Q, xbox one s and PS4 pro you might quickly regret buying one

matengawhat

6 Jan 17 #12

You"ve convinced yourself so nothing i say will matter, 4k content has gone from a dribble to a trickle and soon a flood, hdr is as important if not more so than the last resolution uplift. Not all 4k tvs have judder issues and black levels are massively improved in new models.

In another 4 months with launch of 2017 tvs, i think 2016 4k hdr oleds will be sub 1k at 55inch size

Ive said in a few threads all current tv tech has faults, i think all a bit of a con at minute, its limiting as many of those faults thats important, i would take resolution over better blacks personally

excellent price for OLED! i got B6 for 1800 2 months ago,best 2k I've ever spent, would have gone for this if it was this price :smile:

benhawkins

6 Jan 17 1 #14

Each to their own! If OLED 4K TVs drop to below £1k I will be picking one up!, but I'm not so sure. As LG are the only real OLED manufactures they can set the pricing. And only when models are discontinued such as this will we likely see discounts. Sony and Panasonic have released an OLED TV both with LG panels I believe, but are even more expensive. As for 4K content, I really don't see it becoming more mainstream for a few more years. We don't even have many 1080p channels and a lot of the country still doesn't have access to internet fast enough to stream 4K. What do we know anyway, no one can predict the future. This is an excellent TV regardless!

Bowerbankftw

6 Jan 17 1 #15

Great price recommended this to a friend last year who paid £999 one of the most impressive TV's at the moment. 4K is not worth it until you get native 4K quality and we still will be waiting sometime before that is the norm.

matengawhat to Bowerbankftw

6 Jan 17 #18

Which is a valid point, however ppl tend to keep tvs for about 5 years if not longer, so cant recommend this as out of date with current specs, if was a throw away product its a great buy but £900 is a heavy investment

There is no reason why this can't be used and enjoyed for the next 5 years. People are still using their 8 or 9 year old 720p plasmas because of the great picture quality they provide! Is that any different to this?

I wouldn't have recommended that either! Just as i wouldn't have recommended you buying the hisense and i can def pick fault with the tv i have as well! Im not an oled hater, i like the tech but as i said if had to buy right now would buy resolution over black levels at this cross over point, or as said if you can wait for the 2017 tvs and see what the discounts are on the 2016s

Like you after going through a 55" samsung x2 terrible light bleed, 55 inch lg 850v no light bleed but no hdr over hdmi, settled on panasonic 58 dx802, love the 58inch size, 65 to big my lounge especially with 104inch screen from mem 4 for projector. I got the panasonic for 1k and i know only 8 bit panel and not brightest for hdr and suffers a little dirty screen effect but no lightbleed, 6 months ago was best compromise as wanted 3d and really liked the os and didnt want to spend over 1k

I'm extremely tempted now to take my Samsung ue557000 back for this. bought a ps pro and Xbox one s then the TV for the 4k gaming. didn't know what hdr was so took the plunge on the Samsung being a great TV. I must admit it looks very good as a gaming TV but when I watch TV on it the colours look very washed out. I can see lots of backlight bleed on the blacks if not looking directly at the screen. since reading about the motion stutter and blur online I'm seeing it allot of it now. personally I don't see what the point of hdr is. it just hurts your eyes more. I'm trying to convince myself this oled may be a better bet. would it be right right to downscale back down to 1080 if I'm going to use the TV allot for gaming on the PS pro and xbones with no hdr?

matengawhat to daveykinetic

6 Jan 17 1 #25

A lot of ps4 pro game updates allow for 1080p with added textures so you would still get a benefit.

My samsungs were the worst ever owned for lightbleed i couldn't watch a movie as drove me mad, wife never noticed!

Oled arent greatest for gaming, tend to suffer more lag but depends what you play, how much you play notice.

I have always bought my tvs from john lewis as their cs is fantastic, always replaced tvs with lightbleed with no questions unlike some

benhawkins to daveykinetic

6 Jan 17 1 #28

To be honest the colours on this are great and really pop! I don't think you'd regret it. The only thing that would tempt me to upgrade to a 4k oled would be if the prices came down a lot next year, and the project Scorpio was a true 4k console (which I have reservations about).

If you only watch sd terrestrial tv, it will look better on your 720p plasma as less upscaling, sd on 4k tvs is really soft especially at anything over about 43", if you have sky hd no issues with it being upscaled to 4k

jdzwonnik

6 Jan 17 #34

I was lucky enough to pick up the LG 55EC930V from John Lewis yesterday at only £450 (It was ex demo), and I imagine these are fairly similar. From what I have witnessed it is a great tv and freeview HD looks very good. I've not tried bluray or DVD's yet but I'm sure they are equally as good. Despite the lack of HDR and 4K I would happily recommend it to anyone not particularly bothered about those)

benhawkins to jdzwonnik

6 Jan 17 1 #36

Bargain, the 910v is the successor to that TV, although I doubt the differences are substantial, especially for almost half the price!

SpamJavelin

6 Jan 17 #35

Very nearly got this but went for the Sammy KS7000. No juddering on any sources for me and 4k plus HDR is amazing. Wall mounted so the curve on the LG and non-standard bracket swung it. A great HD set though, just not the best for my requirements.

Gravesy166

I've had the 930v for a while now and wouldn't change it for anything yet. 1080p OLED is plenty wonderful enough for me.

Then you're a fool and also contradicted yourself. Resolution only matters with regrading to size and distance. It's been gone over a million times before. Hdr is all about chroma levels which includes "blacks" / contrast data. You can't say hdr is more important than resolution with one breath then say you would take higher resolution over deeper blacks with the other.

t3hfunk3r

No. This warranty should be 2 years so it's really 95 for one year

matengawhat

6 Jan 17 #49

You've misread and taken out of context i would take higher resolution of the 4k tv over the deeper blacks that a 1080p oled offers as a trade off, not all 4k content has hdr encoding, but the 4k hdr content is clearly better than 4k without!!! We are also talking fractions of shade differences not massive colour shifts! The blacks on an oled will be darker than on an led but wont go as bright so is always a trade off in terms of contrast. Also if not watching in a perfectly dark room you lose some of the darkness advantage.

killabyte

6 Jan 17 1 #50

Just took the plunge and bought one! Also got the 5 year guarantee with accidental damage. Not sure if the guarantee was worth it but for that peace of mind for the next 5 years I'm happy with it. Unless there was a better choice?

Thanks.

7 Jan 17 1 #57

I have a 4k ultra deep color 49 inch lg 850v which cost a grand this time in 2015. From personal experience in everyday situations I would take a 1080 hdr oled over my 4k uhd udc any day of the week. Uhd streaming is a waste of bandwidth, I see zero difference at the 9 foot i sit from the TV. What I do notice is the local led dimming switching on and off to try simulate black but instead produces flashing dull greys. So much so that for certain movies and games I've switched the thing off and settled for constant dull grey instead.

The thing that truly matters is the quality of the picture on the screen with respect to the distance being viewed from. On a 55 inch tv if your more than 9 foot from the screen - which almost everyone is - the uhd is worthless, furthermore if you don't have any true uhd content, and streaming doesn't really count, it's again worthless.

I'm not talking theoretical I'm talking from experience

t3hfunk3r

7 Jan 17 #58

Trust me. I'm a BIG proponent of new technologies and am always an early adopter for most things but I can't say I'm that impressed with 4k at the moment on any device I've seen outside of the 65 inch plus models plugged in to 4k demos inside superstores.... I wish 4k broadcasting was here and that there was a single standard of hdr instead of the 4 currently in play and that hdcp 2.2 wasn't so damp awkward and that hdmi 2.0 could handle 16 bit rgb 4 4 4.... but the reality is you'll plug your ps4 into this along with your freeview hd tuner and watch amazon prime content or netflix.....

£450 is a bargain. I paid £1800 14 months ago and it absolutely wipes the floor with LCDs. Still love it. Blu rays look beautiful with great depth. would recommend this over any 4k LCD.

matengawhat

7 Jan 17 #60

Just stupidly hit delete not edit, i had the lg860v, which i think was the 850v replacement, poor blacks, local dimming was rubbish, there are far better led tvs out there with far greater black levels. If watching sd stuff 1080p tv will always look better, less scaling.

Have to disagree on 4k blurays they look a lot sharper even from 3m, you notice the most when having watched a few then go back to blu ray. Also 4k streaming looks better than 1080p streaming, you have to use an ethernet cable as a lot of wifi devices lower streaming to run smoother at lower quality. Bbc iplayer has a 4k demo of planet earth running which is impressive

Some of the 4k gaming with hdr whether real or fake 4k looks sharper off the pro or one s

Sky hd upscaled to 4k isn't bad either

Disagree.

We haven't even had full HD channels for very long.

4K streaming vastly depends on internet speeds and most of the country does not have access to fast enough speeds to cope (at the moment). Will be a few years before 4K is the norm.

K1LLER HORNET

7 Jan 17 #65

I'd definitely say the opposite.
OLED is much more noticeable than 4K at normal sitting distances.
Unless you're sitting abnormally close I don't see how 4K is going to be as noticeable as the colour gamut and deep black levels an OLED provides.
Saying that you'd also want a 10 bit HDR enabled set.

It's all still early days unfortunately.

BARKMAN

7 Jan 17 #66

There was the other option for those not convinced by 4K, keep their current tv and not buy any new TV.
I love how we all justify buying a TV we don't really need because it's better than a format we don't really want. :laughing:

I got one of these last time they dropped to this. It replaced a Panasonic CX700 4K and I've previously owned a Samsung HU8500 4K and a Panasonic ST60 plasma - this roundly beats them all for picture quality. Blu ray and games look stunning and 3D is better than I've ever seen. With the improved contrast it's not far off HDR sometimes. Combined with no worries about DSE, light pooling, blooming, iffy black levels and washed out colours off angle, I don't have to go through a panel lottery to get a good one. Also it gets me out of the 4K / HDR / HDMI 2.2 / Dolby Vision / HLG rat race nicely until it settles down and 4K becomes more prevalent. By then 4K OLED will be cheap enough to replace it with.

Essentially this is a great price for arguably the best 1080p TV ever made.

7 Jan 17 1 #70

It's a great TV. I paid £1100 for this last year just before the euro's started. Picture is sublime. I was debating getting a 4k but to be honest im not that fussed about 4k gaming yet and I'm more than happy with 1080p blu ray's etc.

OLED are great TVs and cannot recommend them enough, but with this your paying not far short of £900 with a 12mth warranty, that's quite a risk as oled is pretty unproven over long term testing as it is fairly new tech early models did suffer premature failures which is why there are only LG and a couple of Pannys using this tech, the others are waiting to see how it goes after failed attempts to enter the market.
At this price point with no 4k I would prefer to hold off another 12-18 months where you should then be able to pick up OlED with 4k, HDR and good warranty for under £1k and you have set your self up for the next few years for whatever come around the corner, for me this feels like an expensive stop gap, better off getting yourself a good last gen full HD panel for about £450 and ride out the next 12-18mths.

Just wondering for future reference when more deals come about, have any Pioneer Kuro or late generation Panasonic Plasma owners bought one of these and if so what are your thoughts?

Also, and this question is for anyone, would I be right to assume the sound will be pretty awful and a soundbar will be needed for general viewing?
