Amazing quality, superb colors and clarity, just feels like we are in front of the place. I think this is near to OLED.
Does not come with best preset picture and sound settings. Try checking all options.
I am using for picture settings => vivid, color 65, contrast 70, back light 80, sharpness 90 and for sound: changed to surround option. Can't move my eyes anywhere really breath taking

I got one. The screen quality is superb. So lifelike in HD. I had to watch Benidorm in a T shirt & shorts. I thought I was really there with the screen clarity and size. Can also watch films straight from my phone.

This was an awesome buy - thank you OP - used it for a week now and very impressed - 4k from amazon and Netflix is superb - also hdr and dolby vision is displayed next to some titles.
Just going to add a hard drive for recording tv etc - does anybody know the max size ?
Would a 2tb be ok ?

Yep, seems nearly all of their new models have only 3 hdmi. What a backward step.

Heads up to anyone hoping for the 6 months Sky Q offer. It's not valid on this model - that deal expired at the end of 2016.
The Costco offer runs until end of March 2017 - as long as its bought before this date you qualify - however its not a good offer IMHO - if your a new customer they want a lot for install - only 6 months is half price but its a 12 mnth contract - if your an existing customer then I don't think you qualify for anything.

Looks good - HDR - 10 bit panel - Dolby Vision.
Only 3 hdmi's.
I've been looking for a 65 inch 4k tv and gone for this.
90 days to return if not happy (keep the box) - plus 5 year guarantee and 6 months sky q (not sure how this works if you already have normal sky ?
From the Richer Sounds website 8 bit screens reproduce 16.8 million colours. 10 bit screens vastly increase the colour count to 1 billion colours. FRC (Frame Rate Control) uses cyclic algorithms to offer 10 bit performance from an 8 bit panel.

3 hdmi 's is a deal breaker for me though

Why would you trust what Samsung is saying about LG TV?

No, this one has a proper RGB display. Its the cheaper £500 rgbw panels that can't resolve 4k properly, its more like 2.8k

Has anyone who ordered this via Costco checked their payment card? My credit card has been preauthorised for £1166.66 despite my order confirmation saying grand total of £999.98 inc VAT. Just a heads up might need to phone CS to get a refund.

If the screen is rgbw then it isn't 4k (oled excepted as it works differently). Only LG and Philips use them i believe. You're safe with Sony, Samsung, hisense and rebadged vestel sets (although no vestel set can do HDR properly)

Hi guys has anyone ordered this tv off the website and had a delivery date issued i really want to order but it says up to 10 working days delivery. I went to the Cardiff warehouse yesterday and they don't stock it as I was hoping to take one away but any update on a delivery date would be great thanks

Hi
I ordered Friday - had a phone call yesterday to say delivery will be Wednesday.
But I would imagine this is dependant on location.

So still not proper 4K then , when buying a supposed 4K TV how do you find out if it actually is 4K ?
Hmm alright. Waiting a year or two isn't an option as I have a really old LCD and need a second TV for the bedroom so planning to replace the HD TV in the living room and move it to the bedroom.
I have also been looking at the Hisense 65M7000 which is similar price to this one. I have read good things about it but again not sure how it compares.

Is this better than the Sony Bravia 65 inch TV posted last night?
I'm in the market for a 65" and while I want 10 bit I don't want to pay £1439 for the Samsung UE65KS7000. Yet that is the lowest price I've seen the Samsung recently.

A 10-bit panel isn't worth wanting, it only makes a tiny difference in comparison to other HDR hardware. If you want good HDR then get something with lots of dimming zones. If you don't mind refurbished then a DX902 from Panasonic's outlet is a similar price to the KS7000 and much better.
This UH770 is a higher model than the Sony XD75 but neither are a TV I'd buy if HDR was a high priority. For a new and expensive technology like that you really do want to be spending the extra - or wait a year or two.

Costco UK purchases and members. If you buy it online without being a member then you get your warranty but the price is going to be higher so you're effectively paying for the extended warranty. If you buy as a member, you need to be a member when you claim against the warranty. Best thing to do is call customer service if you want the information directly from Costco.

Well to be fair I wouldn't trust what LG say about their cheaper line of LCD TV's either, such as passing off their rgbw sets as 4k.

Great deal and heat added, but the Harmon Kardon audio isn't very good, surprisingly.
I have a model or two up from this, and still use a Yamaha system with it because the sound is pretty tinny.
I think HK are slapping their name around a bit, because the £199 Sharp TV from Tesco on Black Friday also has their name on it.

Its not going to be my Main Set - but I will be sure to report back when its delivered and set up.
We are re-decorating the lounge and with the apps etc built into the tv it will allow me to eliminate all the boxes etc that we have at the moment for the various catch up services.
Can you record from the tv to a hard drive ? This would be a huge bonus if you can as I can get rid of the Freeview hd recorder as well - which means media cabinet can go completely - amp is going in cinema room along with speakers etc.
Its replacing a 60 inch Plasma that's from 2012 - but still chugging along fine - but that's being relocated - it was one of the first "smart" TV's - but Samsung seem to have forgotten about the set so doesn't get any updates anymore.
But as a tv its still awesome.
I have 4k Netflix and Amazon Subs - so should be a doddle for everybody else to use instead of trying to teach people how to use 6 boxes.

The HDR isn't anything special, the colour gamut is limited and while it has local dimming the implementation is one of the worst around.
If HDR is important you're better off spending more or opting for a 55" model at a similar price like an XD93.
As you say though, WebOS has a good app selection and the high quality IPS panel in this model does offer great viewing angles.

Hi
Costco are awesome.
As long as you keep the box they will collect anytime upto 90 days of purchase and happily refund or swap - you don't even have to give them a reason.

Sounds good to me - and a lot more than other TV's around the same price seem to offer.
It also has Harmon Kardon sound system on board so hopefully wont need amp/soundbar
I have looked into the web os3 system it uses and it looks like you can have apps from usa/uk all on same app screen - ie a mixture of hulu, bbc iplayer,netflix etc all on one screen - you have to do a bit of fiddling (an easy guide would be helpful - I do have a Harmony remote which I think you need - plus a dns service).
I was going to go for the Hisense as I have a 55inch which is awesome - but this seems thinner and the viewing angle seems better,
I believe Netflix and Amazon apps are 4k / hdr / dolby vision from the get go...........
Fingers crossed its all good !
