QLED launch today so expect these to drop in price

QLED launch today so expect these to drop in price

Where did you get code so I can price match with John Lewis please.

They want to price match or I'll cancel my order and take my business elsewhere.

But PC World and Currys get my worst retailer vote.

John Lewis price matched at this price in between Christmas and new year.. But I'm sure it wasn't a voucher

John Lewis price matched this from currys for me at xmas at this price. Since then I've returned 2 tvs due to faults and currently on my third. Picture of this tv can be fantastic but it's far from a perfect to (check forums before buying). Bear this in mind before you decide which retailer you want to buy it from.

not sure if they will



We don't expect you to find a lower price at another high street competitor for the same individual product, sold with the same service conditions - but if you can, we'll match the price when you buy, or refund the difference for up to 28 days after you've purchased from us when you make a price match claim.

We have shops, call centres and a website giving you flexibility in how and when you buy from us. The level of service we offer can't therefore be equalled by online or mail-order only retailers such as Amazon or Play.com - and it's for this reason we don't match their prices. There are also some fitting and installation service conditions we take into account when we look at a price match - see below for details.

We match prices publicly available to all customers, based on those displayed in a shop, on the high street competitor's own website, or the first price quoted to us over the phone. The price has to apply to an identical individual product in terms of make, model, size or colour. We match bundles only on a case by case basis, and we don't match special prices only available to certain customers – such as negotiated prices or prices for groups like account holders or club members. We don't match prices only available via 3rd party websites, or with voucher codes

Yeah mate. just be patient and wait a couple of weeks at the most. I've bought the 55" ks9000 a couple of months back and haven't even opened it yet

Is this better or KS8000?

In the other thread a guy posted this. Might be a better chance of getting price matched:

http://www.applianceelectronics.co.uk/viewproduct.asp?pid=11847

Can I ask? There are numerous reports of micro-stutter on this set (I too am in the market for a 55 or 60) and there just as many claiming this judder can be eliminated within advanced settings related to motion and frame insertion etc. Have you exhausted all these menu options?

Best forum for settings and reviews:

AVForums - Samsung KS7000 Settings Thread

This was my understanding. Via settings judder could be eliminated.

I have Sky Q arriving on Friday & I am on the look out for a 55" - 65" with a maximum budget of £1000. Is this the TV for me? Sky Q + PS4 Pro in the near future.

Mine too. They are just interested in selling you extras that you don't want. Like extra warranties and insurance.

Beware if you buy more then 1 thing with a discount code. If you want a refund on 1 of the items they take the whole discount off your returned item, hence don't refund in full.

Stupid question I know but why can't top of the range TV's just work. I have bought a number over the years and am always disappointed by judder, dirty screen, or light bleed. TBH I'm getting a bit fed up of the whole thing!! I know this is not on topic but just thought I would vent my frustrations. I am in the market for a decent 55" for Xbox Scorpio at the back end of the year so hoping OLED hits the mark.

Bah! Bought this on Friday for £899 from Curry's on-line. Is there any point trying to phone them for a price match with themselves?

Very happy with the TV - it's a good upgrade from a 7 year old 42" Panasonic Plasma (G20). It took me a while to get the smart remote working for all my sources with sound output to my AV amp.

Bought from Curry's before Xmas, it's an excellent TV.

Returned both to JL within 30 days of receiving. They have been fantastic about it - no hassle at all. Second one had horrendous judder issues. 3rd seems better. Try turning off Auto Motion Plus completely.

As with a lot of people tried a number of sets , the KS7000 range are top quality. I paid £799 for the 49 inch version cos I couldnt fit a 55 inch in the space I had but I would recommend to anyone thinking to buy this TV. Its one of the best things I've ever bought , the colours and contrast are the best I have seen. Sorry I've turned into a fan boy for these sets but its that good.

Well the Q stands for Quantum and the KS7000 is Quantum Dot Tech... all Samsung did was rebrand it QLED as people see OLED as superior to LCD, so now people will say Samsung are QLED and it's the next big thing.. when it isn't.

I had 3 KS7000s(I sent it back twice), all of them sucked, I don't recommend the TV. Every single one had dead pixels, which sucks as the pixels are so large, still 4K isn't good enough, we need 8K to get that PPI up to a good level. On top of that the left bleeds light so badly, but if you walk off angle slightly, you see bleed shoot up the TV so bad because of the edge based local dimming which is worse than having no local dimming at all.

Then I had problems with the OS and it having no content.. seriously there is nothing there. So what is the point having it at all? I'd rather a dumb TV I put my own box into, than a "smart" one with no features and lag.

You cannot use it as a monitor either, I tried on all 3 of them, but for whatever reason the TV hated my PC and kept flashing black on occasion, I could never fix it..

I just went back to using my 32 inch 5K monitor, which is far superior, but I do have to sit closer.

I've got this TV. it only seems to judder through the Sky input at 1080p. PS4, Blu-ray, inbuilt Netflix are all fine.

the judder is a microjudder though, barely noticeable.

This is not uncommon. This doesn't discount in anyway why it should work with a cheap TV and not a top-tier model, but it certainly is not specific to Samsung TV's. It is an EDID issue and is usually corrected with the use of one of these type of devices
https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-EDID-Emulator-HDMI-Displays/dp/B00GRRJYAC/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1489533962&sr=8-12&keywords=hdmi+edid

If this gets price matched at John Lewis then I'm off to buy a new tv

Just a heads up with this set, the viewing angles are pretty limited (poor imo) and is the main reason I sent mine back. Same goes for the KS8000. I'm hoping this years models will be true to their word and have better viewing angles. My 2010 full HD Samsung TV is excellent in comparison so I've gone back to that until the new Samsung models are released or I go OLED.

I got the 55inch ks7000 in December for £949 from Richer Sounds. Although it did come bundled with a blu-ray player which I sold for a £100 profit. So I guess I got it for £849 too :smiley:

I should mention I did have micro-stutter and general motion issues, so I told Richer Sounds who promptly sent out a replacement. The replacement (touch wood) is fantastic so far and doesn't have the same problems. The picture really is incredible. PS4 Pro and Netflix and Amazon in 4K / HDR have blown me away. I'm quite satisfied that the TV will do me for 3 years minimum.

So, as much as this is a great price, I would be careful with the retailer as it seems a bit of a lottery whether you get a fault-free panel.

No 49inch model in the new Q7 series, glad I got my bargain KS7000 now at £699 :0)

I've got the 49" on Dec 30th and the TV has had no of the problems other people have had, I don't use it for PS or Xbox. I use it for the TV and internet channels with no problems and the back has not come off, I must be lucky.

Yep. I was wondering wether it's better to pay the extra money for the KS8000, but I guess around £400 more are not justified.

The beauty of forums is people can share their opinions. So current users who have alot of experience in TVs or may have already considered these two models can share. Is it so wrong to ask?

I too would like to know the answer to this question, I also purchased this tv 10 days ago from currys, if u ask let me know what the outcome is

As expected John Lewis just confirmed no price match with voucher...

I've ordered from Currys with same code, will return if prices drop elsewhere...

how did you get it at 699?

"Do you want an extra warranty or £300 HDMI cable?"
"No"
"Okay"

Cold. No Ambilight :laughing:

Just bought one of these from Richer Sounds for £899 with a 6 year guarantee. Fantastic TV can't fault it and at either price your getting a lot of TV for the money!

I'd have paid the extra and bought from RS or JL...DSG's shocking customer service not worth the price savig if ever you have an issue.

Thats concerning. Was thinking of buying this or the ks8000 for the living room and connect my PC to it to play games on the big screen. Have used a couple of tv's in this way in the past.

Do not get the KS8000, it is a marketing ploy. Rtings website said that the only difference is the material of construction is more premium and the stand is a little better. The screen quality and the technology behind it are exactly the same.

To note as well, this TV in the UK is the KS7000, however in America, its called the KS8000. So when looking around for the TV for like reviews etc., be mindful if the site is UK or US.

I bought this TV, 49 inch, in Jan and I have no regrets. I got it for £800, so a 55inch at the same price is very much worth it. Looking on forums and reddit etc., this TV is the best rated mid-ranged 4K HDR TV, in the UK. Only ones that are better are the likes of OLED, or ones that are miles more expensive. This TV also had the lowest input lag (21ms) for 4k HDR gaming.

Two good articles for reflection:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-samsung-ks7000-4k-tv-review

http://uk.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ks8000

(RTings there says KS8000 but it really is the KS7000 here in the UK, like I mentioned earlier - the article does outline the differences in model numbers between here in the UK and the US).

Hope this helps.

I agree totally and buying a TV can be a nightmare with all the varying issues...

But that said you have to bear in mind that the KS7000 is a mid range TV.... not top end....

Top end would be the OLED starting from a good few thousand pounds! !!

Times have changed and TV manufacturers and their marketing departments are making a meal of it all. ...

A great TV is the Samsung 65" KS9500 currently around £2,500

A LOT of money I know.... but over ten years.... £250 per year....

However. .... whether it's worth the extra depends completely on the purchaser avd their budget. ...

Anyone found out if richersounds will price match this

I read somewhere the new QLED range will be quite a bit more than the models they replace. ....... :confused:

That's guaranteed unfortunately, so they will have to be quite impressive to beat the ks7-8000, or the LG b6 oled, those are the 3 at the top of my list currently.

FYI TV max frame rate is 60fps. so if you are into computer gaming at ultra high frame rates then this might not be for you...

Thank you very much for this, JL refused to price match against PC World with code but will against Appliance Electronics. Happy days

B6 LG OLED is the best tv out and is the cheapest OLED made with all the bells and cake included 4K HDR 10 yes it's actually 10 bit and it **** on any telly I've seen ever

See my above post #56. Don't buy from Currys, if you have issues their customer service is awful. JL is much better and will price match Appliance Electronics

I've already got a Asus Pg279q which is a 1440p 165hz gaming monitor. This would be more to play on if friends came round or if I just want to play on the big screen with a game that doesn't require really high refresh rates, or maybe that is capped at 60fps in engine, like Nier Automata for example. Just ordered the 1080ti so the thought of playing something like mass effect at 4k/60 in HDR on a 50 inch screen chilling with a controller definitely appeals. More serious gaming will still be done on the monitor. The ks series also have some of the best input lag of any tv, around 20ms in game HDR mode.

Where did you managed to get the 49" KS7000 at £699 from? Or did you buy it 2nd hand/refurbished?

I phoned Currys on 0344 561 0000, provided order reference and discount code - operator confirmed that they price match themselves, refund to credit card will take 3 to 4 days :smiley:

I think you might be out of luck if you're past the 7 days, but it's probably worth 5 minutes of your time to try. Good luck!

My goodness - the Samsung Q7 55" (equivalent to the KS7000 I think) is coming in at £2,299!!!!!!!!!!

​why do people not get the c6 instead for the same price with added 3d and better input lag than the b6. can someone explain. surely the c6 is a better buy

Many people dislike 3d, many people dislike curved screens as it reduces the viewing angle. What input lag improvement does it have at latest firmware?

My understanding is the the c6 is also actually 10-20% more expensive.

nice, lucky with the set up.

well i can confirm its a treat for HDR - movies and games on ps4 pro have been delightful. excited to try mass effect on it on my ps4 pro

Decent price, how long is this code going to last?

​I see. baring the odd rare deal the c6 is widely available at the same price as the b6 so I guess it's more personal preference unless a b6 deal can be had for cheaper

I'd rather not pay a penny to have spyware listening to my conversations. If I want 4k it won't be Samsung. It's only a bargain if you need it :confused:

As opposed to the listening device you are using right now to post that comment?

I'm looking for a 10 bit 55" telly and the price of this years models looks frightening, as can be seen from the equivalent to this TV above at £2,300 & the Sony models are almost £2,000.

What's the consensus, is it worth waiting for the 2017 models to drop after launch or just getting this bad boy now? Is there a marked difference? (£1,500 worth).

Would never buy that over a LG b6 OLED that's just madness QLED is just a fancy name it's till LCD lmao

The C6 isn't the same price I got my B6 for £1,574 you won't find a c6 for that

This.

Voted hot on this regardless as for price it's a good tv and if you're on a budget and can't afford an OLED this tv is next best and HDR on this tv is very nice and it's 1000 nits

Absolutely.

Its laziness

Bought this TV 2 weeks ago from Currys £999. JL dropped price to £899 and I managed to get a price match refund from Currys (up to 7 days after purchasing).

Amazing TV - I did my research and wanted the best HDR TV for under £1000. LG OLEDs too expensive. Only downside is the feet on the TV require you to have a massive TV stand/cabinet. I bought a swivel TV stand with a center base from Amazon but it wasn't the easiest to fit (in terms of getting the TV perfectly centred and straight).

sky family bundle with the sky q box at £16 for 18 months or Netflix at £8.99. Which would you choose based on 4k picture quality and 4k contents to watch.

Great telly.

Got the 60" a month or so and love it. Folllowed the suggested settings posted on AVforums and various youtube setups and never had any problems with motion blur, juddering etc.

Xbox One looks tremendous on it as does PS4 and one real plus point i would add is how well it upscales SD content.

Had my Openbox on it worried sports would look dreadful stretched over 60" but was very pleasently surprised.

As far the KS7000 vs KS8000 from reading reviews the difference looked negligible. Obviously there must be small improvements but if i was being cynical it looks like the big difference was a proper stand on the 8000 given that the 7000's is a bit of a car crash IMO.

I was deliberating over this TV for months but finally bit the bullet and would recommend it highly.

Glad to hear it.

For the price it's a really great tv.

But as you say not in LG OLED league in terms of price or picture quality. ..

Sky as you get other channels as well.

But make sure you're quoted for the 2TB 4K box and not the standard Sky Q which is only 1080p....

I've seen some 4K amazon and wasn't overly impressed.....

No idea how good Sky 4K is.....

Judging from coments, instead of spending £2,300 on the base model for 2017 from Samsung....

You might be better off with the LG 55"B6

£1,799

As always, try with your own source material in store and compare before you buy

..

Thanks for this, bought mines from John Lewis a few days ago so will get them to refund the difference :smile:

I know amazon and Netflix have 4k and her contents but apart from sports, does sky have 4k contents to watch.

A selection of movies are available in 4K. ....

But I don't know how many (don't think its many) or what else is available. .....

Much as i'd love a B6 its almost £1K more than the Sammy 7000. I just got RS to price match the Curry's voucher offer and they have it in-stock, so that'll be me this afternoon then.

This made my laugh. Best stop using your tablet, desktop, mobile phone, house phone, stop going out the house, make your tin foil hat.....

Oh that's good. I thought they wouldn't as its not comparable warranty...(right?). I tried with the voucher and they said:


I’ve been unable to locate the voucher code either on the product page or the Currys/PC World website. We do consider voucher codes, but only if they’re publicly available to all customers who visit the competitor’s site. As this doesn’t seem to be the case, I’m not able to offer a price match.

Where does this voucher come from?

Oh bother, I bought this TV on Sunday from PC World for £899.

I "broke" the TV getting it out of the box. It's very very delicate, I am a careful person and I barely touched it then I felt it crack under my hold. The bezel-less design makes it very difficult to manoeuvre, especially if the wife is refusing to help you because she didn't agree with your decision to upgrade the Tele.

Luckily I took out the care plan which I had planned on cancelling after the first month. They collected it next day but I won't see the TV again for a week. :disappointed:

Lucky you had the care plan!

Try the 7 day price match thing telling them you have a code..... hopefully should refund the difference

RS locally refused to price match with voucher code. Called next closest and they said no problem!

Worth contacting them if you want from RS

Great TV, had it for 4 months now and no issues at all. Works great with my PS4 Pro too. Only niggle is that the upscaling of SD programmes isn't great imo!

Be Warned:
I have had one for over a year now it is STILL not working correctly. The Sound is terrible and keeps fluctuating up and down. I have yet to see an engineer as all i keep getting told is I need a software update. This will be the LAST Samsung i ever buy...

I just rang them and they say they can price match but not appliance direct for 845 neither pc world for 850 with code. :disappointed: seems like u got to them at the right time

John Lewis then and price match against Appliance Direct. Much better service from JL

how do you do a price match with john lewis? do you have to ring them or can you do it online?

ignore the above found it online.

so it seems some people have managed a price match with appliance electronics and some not; fingers crossed!

How come they are price matching Appliance Electronics? It doesn't come with a 5 year warranty from Appliances Electronics does it? When I was looking at their web page it is an extra £285?

:confused: beats me. I submitted Pcworld price match and Appliance Direct last night. Two emails this morning, first refusing Pcworld as it uses a voucher, second saying they will refund me £54 to price match Appliance Electronics. Not gonna ask any questions, just going to take money and run.

The John Lewis 5 year guarantee is free and given by John Lewis no matter what, so in terms of price match they ignore their 5 yr guarantee and match the product/bundle on a like for like basis - on products only.....

So effectively they price match the TV's itself (ignoring) any guarantees.....

Then you have your TV....

Plus John Lewis guarantee which is given no matter what.

Hope that makes sense ...

They declined my PC World Pricematch also. Just submitted the Appliance electronics one also! Fingers crossed :smile:

John Lewis get mine as the worst retailer, can't say Currys are great though.

JL does match voucher codes if the code is visible publicly on their website. To avoid competing with JL , other sites allow codes but just don't publish on website.

Odd. I thought it had to be like for like I.e. same product / warranty terms. I've put a price match in, let's see what happens.

Surprisingly I was thinking the same but I just got a JL price match as well. Got £54 back!

Tempting.

Will hold out and wait for these to drop a little more!

Just ordered the TV. Got John Lewis to price match Appliance Electronics but then bought next day delivery :neutral_face:. Do I need this TV, probably not! Sky Q is coming on Friday so this will be a great companion!

JL have just confirmed with myself they will price match appliance electronics! :smiley:

Well look at that. I got accepted for the price match as well! Bonus, really wasn't expecting that. I wonder if they're about to drop the price further due to the new TVs being launched by Samsung in the last few days.

Either way i'm happy with that for £845.

Q led is out soon but who has 3 grand plus loose change to drop on a TV? I'd be prepared/ be able to afford upto a grand on a TV...

I can't see how they're going to sell many qled's at that price especially if early reviews are true.

I agree.....

Wait till 2018 I'd say..... which no doubt will be £3K plus for a top end model!!!

No..wait till 2020...you get an even better tv then.

Code has expired. Are there any others?

Wow, amazing price. I bought this set for £920ish about 4 months ago. Perfect really, proper HDR gaming, 4K is spot on, 10 bit panel & 1000 bits of peak brightness. Can't go wrong. Interface is awesome also.

Seems like an electrical problem but with out stating the fob off blooming obvious they gave you, but have you the latest software out on 27 Feb... http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE55KS7000UXXU

Doesnt seem a place to enter code, is this for the computer rather than mobile phone?

You have to go quite far into the order process to put the code in, but has expired when I try.

Thanks and damn it expiring

Does anyone know when the voucher code 50LSTV started? Trying to get Currys to refund me the £50 even though the code has expired.

I tried but currys didn't budge. Prob wasting ur time but let me know if u get any joy

Just a quick question for you guys. Benq 1080p w1070 projector or a 55inches 4k TV. In terms of pictures quality, which would be a better buy?

The projector is 'only' 1080p..... and £499

The Samsung 55KS7000 is 4K and £900

Both have different uses..... and to compare is not really that easy as they are not like for like and differ greatly in price. ...

Cinema projection feel on a larger screen vs better quality but limited to 55"....

If you're looking for say a cinema room in a garage or something. ..... maybe the projector.... but the quality will be poorer....

But maybe get a better one similar in price to the tv?

Depends on your budget too....
