If buying second hand TVs are your thing, then I don't think OLED TVs are your thing.....

New firmware has been released for the B6V (04.31.10), I had to download and install it manually via USB but it's straightforward (format USB to NTFS or FAT32, create a folder called LG_DTV and copy the contents of the zip folder into it).

Here's a link: http://www.lg.com/uk/support/support-product/lg-OLED55B6V

this deal expired ur oled deals cold so come back before easter

Prices have skyrocketed in the last 24hrs, most retailers have increased to £1999, stocks must be running out!
Slightly gutted as last night I found it for £1529 on AO, I was planning to go to Currys to get £70 back on their 7 day price promise.

was this price 5 weeks before soundbar deal http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/argos-lg-oled55b6v-55inch-ultra-hd-smart-oled-tv-1574-10-argos-2614651 so only £45 cheaper without soundbar

Yes. Just can't work out why they suddenly put prices back to pre-Christmas levels when we (well I) assumed they were shifting old stock for the new models. If I'd wanted one at £2k, I'd have got myself one for Christmas. (OK that ignores sound bar offer - or have they binned that too? - but I don't want a sound bar!)

my deal was live for over 1 week till yesterday but this deal was mega http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-oled55b6v-oled-hdr-4k-lg-sh7-sound-bar-1yr-free-sky-q-via-redemption-1699-john-2639002

Thanks for that

Must have missed that - what is vouchercloud?

Went to view one in Currys this evening, after a bit of haggling I got the bundle for £1599 (after referring to the £100 discount code on Vouchercloud). The picture quality is superb, almost mesmerisingly realistic. It absolutely smokes my old Panasonic UT50 plasma (1080p) and CX700 (4K). The quality of the on-board speakers vastly exceeded my expectations too, I haven't even bothered unpacking the soundbar :stuck_out_tongue:

Not sure about the air-mouse remote yet, it's kinda cool but a bit of a gimmick. Absolutely desperate to watch Planet Earth 2 in 4K now but I don't have a UHD player :disappointed:

Just noticed that LG OLED55E6V has dropped to £2,049 from £2,200 at John Lewis.

new Qled due out next month.
yes I know they will cost the earth.. my point is that all of last year's tech will fall. hang on a few weeks if you're tv shopping

Wanted them to price match the 65" (as this is in the offer too), but they stated that, as the discount code isn't advertised on their website, they wouldn't match it :disappointed:

I'm sure that this was just a case of someone at JL who doesn't know what they are doing. JL site says "We don't match prices ... with voucher codes." Can't see how "10% Argos code" is not a "voucher code".

I posted that Richersounds have £100 off so £1,699. If you can get it cheaper at he moment that's a good deal!

I brought this from JL for £1799 with the Soundbar. Called them today regarding this 10% Argos code and they price matched and gave me back £179. Must have got lucky. £1620 with Soundbar + 5 year guarantee and 28 price match. With the stock getting so low I'm chuffed I bit at the right time.

wrong... just wrong...

+1 !!

Richersounds looks like £1799 less £100 money off code bringing it to £1699 with soundbar and 6 years guarantee.

Should I or shouldn't I?

Can't seem to pay with TVS10 code on, doesn't go through. Also TVS10 code removes the soundbar promotion. TVS10 code is also no longer listed as active on argos t&c page.

New code TVS10

I imagine the retailers are getting ready for the 2017 B7 to arrive. But from what I've read there isn't much difference between the two so I might go for this.

Hard to see this going down that much further, even with the new models coming out. I've bitten the bullet as the Soundbar + Sky Q make this too good to miss. I tried John Lewis + Richer Sounds to price match but unfortunately no luck. Saw this in store in Currys and it really is stunning!

Oops, thanks.

It's £1799 now.

Couldn't agree more. It's easy to get sucked into the latest technologies and reviews. There's no substitute for your own eyes.

never going to pay£££ for tv without viewing it never buy car or house or sofa without a good look?

That's why you use the viewing room in Richer Sounds, you can set them up yourself and compare.

London TVs have the LG OLED 55 E6 model for £1899 with 5 years guarantee and 12 months free sky Q

In a store it's a bit of a mugs game if you're watching TVs with different settings, especially if you can't compare the same content. However TV reviewers are fanatical about measurements, so you can mostly trust them. The only downside is you may not get the same TV panel that was reviewed thanks to the 'panel lottery'. Ugh.

BTW - make sure you add the soundbar to your basket (and the discount is shown). By default it seems possible to order the tv without the soundbar.

I looked at them all in Richer Sounds earlier. I couldn't see enough difference to justify the extra cost of OLED. Came home with the KS8000.

What's the guarantee on this with Argos?

I had my heart set on the Samsung UE55KS8000 but this is very tempting since it's not much more to get OLED. I prefer the OneConnect box with the Samsung for connectivity, but could overlook it.

Does anyone know if this soundbar can work with rear speakers?

What phone do you have ?

Pixilated on supposed 4K etc, playing with the settings and calibration now based on AVForums suggestions but unsure if I'll send it back at this point. Netflix stream via lan and supposedly ultra HD which I appreciate will not be as good as blu ray but how often is one to watch blu ray? It's unrealistic.

Edit; I have 80mb BT fibre so not a bandwidth problem!

How so?

Just received mine from John Lewis, first impressions aren't good, starting to think I wasted my money :confused:

Don't like to be negative but really, the quality is not what we were led to believe... great end to a pretty bad day :disappointed:

That's exactly why everything uses HDMI - because of HDCP. The handshakes that cause those of us with very complex setups issues (Sky Q boxes are a pain for handshake failures) are there by design - companies aren't going to stream 4K content without it :wink:

My problem with the current OLEDs is their latency, even in game mode it was 70ms and over 100 if you wanted colour accuracy... wtf? My Monitor is DCI-P3 100% and only has 8ms total (combining two figures for the monitor so the TV would be even higher than what I stated) and so why can't TVs do this? My only conclusion is they cheap out on that side like they cheap out on scalers, because most people do not game on them. I would use it as a monitor too and even with 32ms on the Samsung... it was really noticeable.

Then you have the fact OLEDs have burn in, which is fine for normal viewing, but when you're using it as a monitor... not good.

I don't think OLED is the future, there is always something better around the corner and I'll be waiting for that as they have too many flaws like Plasma did. My phone has an amazing LCD display, so I'm hoping eventually we get to the point where either FSA is improved or an alternative comes out.


I don't want any smart features either, just keep it out, all these TVs do s judder and then they have tons of processing to try and eliminate it... again why? My Monitors do not judder.

Why are they all HDMI? That's the worst connection you can use, the audio through it sucks for one, but it's so slow and does all these security checks. I want the return of ports that just work like my monitors, you plug it in and it's instantly on, HDMI is so annoying. especially when using splinters because you only ever have like 4 HDMI ports... no give me 12.

Take the built in speakers out too, no one uses them, they add size and cost and suck.

if you just want the tv one could always sell the soundbar on ebay and get a few quid back i suppose.

I keep thinking that but suspect stocks are being run down. There have been a lot of deals: http://www.hotukdeals.com/search?action=search&keywords=OLED55B6V+

Went red hot at £2,400 c8 months ago! http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-55b6v-oled-4k-uhd-55-tv-2399-98-costco-instore-m-cr-trafford-park-2482236

Don't you just love technology pricing!

possibly worth waiting, the prices are bound to drop as the new OLEDs are out soon

The specs on the new gen looks Mega, Dolby Atmos sound etc.

No dead pixels on my OLED, no light bleed either. My previous led Samsung however had awful light bleed in corners. Latency was not an issue when I tried my xbox one, although I prefer to game on a smaller monitor tbh so I can see all the action in one go! This OLED does look stunning with uhd discs... night scenes are total blackout due to the pixels turning off individually. This tech is totally different to led sets.

... or rich guy?

Gosh, this is expensive for a TV! I bought a perfetly good secondhand Panasonic Viera set for £50 the other day, it should be good for at least another decade (I know, I'm a tightwad - and I this post if probably good if one is into that sort of thing).

I agree that the perfect TV doesn't exist. My C6 however, is nice and uniform, no issues with lightbleed, dead pixels etc. I have all the crap processing settings turned off and therefore the latency is pretty good. Maybe I got lucky but this TV is the closest to perfection in my experience.

I know it must get said all the time but how much better can sets get.? 4k OLED must be hard to beat? anything above 4k and unless you are right up close is going to be hard to spot any difference, at least going from 576 > 720 > 1080 > 4k is noticeable.

And now that each pixel illuminates itself, how can this be improved? (Or at least improved in a way which makes a noticeable difference to the consumer

Expecting to get shot sown as im sure the same me 10 years ago could have said the same thing,

Would have probably jumped at this price if they hadn't dropped the 3D from this model (and all 2017 models)

I can remember seeing the first plasma 42" screens which cost upwards of £10 000 ! Within a few short years the price when I bought my first one had fallen to £1000, continued improvements of Full HD etc the price still fell to south of £500.
When LCD came out it was expensive, soon trumped by LED which was even more expensive, but the price fell quickly and today the latest & greatest thing to have is OLED which is following that same path, with silly prices in the beginning which are quickly falling as the manufacturing technology matures.
Within a couple of years expect the cheaper OLEDs to be sub £1000 for this size but possibly some new technology in the wings just waiting to make your nice new set obsolete, all at a price of course.

The big question is when to pull the trigger and my feeling is that if you can hold on then it's going to be much better two years down the track.

Bought, thanks for the heads up, been watching this for a while and this offer finally got the better of me.

If only there was a paper alternative to visual entertainment

What would this be like for gaming though I wonder

You're not likely to suffer the majority of these defects with OLED due to the way the pixels are illuminated.

I must admit, dead/stuck pixels annoy me but I've not found them to be much of a problem on a 4K screen. I had a 65" Hisense TV last year with a couple dead centre and they couldn't be seen at a round 2ft from the screen. The TV I had before the Hisense was a 60" sharp 1080p and that had three dead Pixels and they were basically invisible at around 5 feet. Stuck Pixels are the worst, especially green. Luckily all my LCD based TV's have had reasonable screen uniformity, minimal banding/DSE and manageable clouding so the dead pixels are the lesser of many evils in my opinion.

I wouldn't touch an OLED set that wasn't backed up by a decent warranty, i'd rather pay more and buy from the likes of Richer or John Lewis.

This is a stunning TV have had the C version for several months and love the picture quality

Yes I know you posted it but it was only available a short time And because again a voucher code no one could get a price match at JL- need the five year G/T

it was http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/argos-lg-oled55b6v-55inch-ultra-hd-smart-oled-tv-1574-10-argos-2614651

Heated - best price so far for this model with the forced "free" soundbar

Yes that's the only problem and because it's a voucher code I don't think JL will price match. I must admit I would rather have it cheaper without the sound bar

Anyone know what the warranty period is with Argos?

Bit of digging and found this: "...I have looked into this and this comes with a standard 1 year LG warranty" from Q&A here.

-:smiley:

Has anyone managed to get staff discount on top of the above price, When I tried they couldn't apply TV10 code in store for either pickup or delivery, and I have been told TV10 is old valid online only, is it correct??
