Finally back to its Black Friday price people, and in stock... at a reputable dealer, with multiple stores across West Yorkshire AND with a proper 5 year warranty.
No disrespect to HiFi Confidential, as they have been around for 25 years and they have a very good standing, but they are just one small, high street shop in London. Very handy for the Queen (near Buckingham Palace, have a look on StreetView!), but Crampton and Moore are an established chain of stores.

I was dead set on this TV around BF time but the more I read the more I was put off. Reviews seem to make it sound very hit or miss. Have since decided I'd much rather have a Hisense at ~£500 which although is not as good on paper, reviews much better in terms of SD & HD playback and build quality.

Its been this price for a while, I got John Lewis to price match last week. Received it on Saturday and got to say I am blown away by it, it is a fantastic TV

Didn't realise, I was monitoring prices daily until recently. You should have posted the deal :smiley:

It's a good price and by all accounts a very good TV; I am interested in getting this but I have read that new models are going to be released late Feb/Early March and would this not mean that models like this get reduced further or that there may be a better option from the new range? By no means an expert when it comes to TV pricing cycles so advice from someone who is more familiar with how it tends to work would be appreciated!

Yep, new models out soon, prices as yet unknown but you can probably find the Samsung 2016 launch prices and see how they drop over the year. The 2017 models will be probably follow the same.
Interestingly, the Sony 2016 models will get all the Android TV updates that the 2017 models will get so maybe Samsung will choose to add any improvements, HLG maybe(?) back to 2016 models too. They added YouTube HDR to all the 2016 models just recently.

Had the 60" model since just before xmas. Beast of a TV, everytime I watch something I'm just blown away. The Marco Polo with HDR looks out of this world and other 4K content on Netflix. Ps4 games with HDR look great too. Blows my old 65" Sony out of the water

I tried looking for 2015 models when the 2016 were released and couldn't find any bargains at all. It seems they all just disappeared rather than being sold off cheap. They must have gone somewhere. Or maybe I was just looking in the wrong place. I intend to buy the 2016 if it gird cheap.

Yeah, I think they know how to fill the retail channel pretty well these days.
I was holding out for 55" version of this, it went to £899 around New Year but then OoS everywhere and now is over a grand and in-stock in a few places.

so its £799 and John Lewis will price-match.
Can anyone confidently state that the price will drop noticeably (and by how much??) when the new range is released, and that this model will still be freely available?
I'm itching to buy it now having spent weeks researching everything concluding that this is my favourite and also have a budget of £800. So I need some serious persuasion not to buy this moment..hence the above rather hard to answer question? Any help would be really appreciated.

If I were you I'd just buy it now. There were large amounts of people around Black Friday saying hold off until new year sales but the price simply didn't go back to where it was around Black Friday. As other's have stated products don't seem to drop in price with new releases like they used to!
