Use code oled10 - also valid on all other LG OLED models.
5 year warranty.
Excellent retailer.
12month Sky Q offer.
Low latency HDR game mode firmware now available for the B6 models yielding sub 30ms.
I think this is about the best ever price at a reputable retailer and without having to rely on cashback or trying to get price matches. 1% Quidco or 1.15% TCB is available.
UPDATE - available by phone only now, code withdrawn (thanks @onzey). Further £50 reduction on the 55 B6 which should make it £1574 though.

Heat for the best price. But if you have been waiting for LG 2016 OLED range to drop significantly in price, I'd personally wait a few more months. (Yes I understand with technology it's the old chestnut that it will always drop in price). CES 2017 occurred the other week and the 2017 range will release from April this year. So companies will be releasing their old range and like last year the price will drop significantly. If you can't hold off until then, fair play and enjoy the tv now. Personally after the LG OLED 65 E series. Tempted with the sky Q offer but still overall to expensive.

I don't have this tv, i have a sony 4k and got rid of an over grainy picture by turning down sharpness/ resolution as its trying to add detail not there. Hd and 4k are sharp without it. Turn off noise filtering too or set to low if you can't.
Hope this helps

Is the grain on all sources and material? A lot of marvel stuff from Netflix has been shot with a lot of added grain for some reason and detracts from picture quality in imho.

The marvel stuff has added grain to give it the effect of the paper comic books were printed on.

After doing research I'm waiting for a 4K TV that I can do 100% of the HDR10 colour standard dci-p3. Watched some HDR finally and contrast was less noticeable to me than colour in a bright room. OLED beats everything else right now, but reckon Samsung QLED will offer the same colour and more brightness for less cash this year.

Tempting but looking to wait on these models (B6/C6). Sky Q deal runs until 28/03/17 I believe with new OLED 7 range rumoured to launch in the Spring. Hopeful the price will drop to £1500 or below.

Is it the full sky package? Sports + Movies?

No the basic package, with no 4K either last time I checked!
Plus you have to pay installation, and it doesn't apply if you've already got q (a discount would've been nice!).
I love the panel on the e series, but god the sound bar is ugly. Surely they realise that anybody spending that much on a tv will have a proper sound system!
I wonder if JL will price match?

I believe it is the Sky Q Original Bundle + multiscreen subscription. You appear to get the Sky Q box and router with all orders but not everyone has received an additional mini box for free. £60 quid set-up fee but some have got this waived.
There seems to be a discrepancy between the deals new Sky customers and existing Sky HD customers receive. It is all very confusing.

You're right, it isn't very clear at all! I called them about it when I was close to buying one last month, to see whether my sister could use it (she has sky plus with multi room), they told me:
- it's for the regular sky q box only, not the silver, but since she had sky multi room already and has been with them a long time, if she paid the extra £12 for multi room they'd install a silver box instead (something about reduced installation cost for multi room and the usual loyal customer crap), even though the offer states that multiroom is included!
- it's the box sets bundle, but they could carry over whatever promo she had for the movies (she doesn't have sports), so for her movies would've been £8 a month extra, because that's what it was on her current deal
- to add anything she didn't already have (like sports) would've been full price
So basically, it's an it like the haggle at the end of your contract - depends on who you get.
When I called them about using it myself, they said that since I already have sky q, I wasn't eligible for the offer (it's buried in the small print), and "suggested" that unofficially a family member could use it instead lol.
So if you're new to sky, it's the standard box sets and regular box - although you may be able to haggle the silver box if you stump up for multi room given the reason for it was "reduced installation". IMO multiroom without silver is pointless. I got the impression it's just a promo to get you in then upsell.
