Update...J L have now dropped this by another £200 to £1199!
Been heavily researching the best TV I could get and decided to get this bad boy before it goes out of stock (high end 2016 model - 2017 model will set you back £3k). Also comes with a free curved Samsung sound bar worth £379! Best input lag (for games - Digital foundry found this far superior to OLEDs in tests using HDR) and personally prefer it to OLED after seeing it in action. Also get the JL Warranty as standard etc.
Cheers me dears

Nice TV apart from the silly bent shape

Don't worry, you'll get round that.

Treat yourself to the premium product, I bought my curved Samsung 16 months ago and it has proved to be a life enhancing decision, simply superb.

From the curved ones i've seen there's no distortion at all from watching at an angle.

I thought that until I watched one, stood in currys the curved ones were much nicer to watch than flat, but only on 55" plus screens. They aren't even curved that much really

Tempted to bite at this price.
I need a soundbar anyway so if you knock off the £380 value of that it puts the TV at £820 which is around the same price as the super hot UE55KS7000 deals at the beginning of the year.. for a better TV.

Bite! If you're not looking at OLED this is a great TV! This years quantum dots aren't a significant improvement IMO to justify the high prices!

Great alternative if you cant find the 7000 anywhere. As someone else stated, in a different way, it's a shame its curved. Good find op!

Heat! I just ordered the UE65KS8000 and got John Lewis to price match PRC Direct at £1499.99!! Cracking deal considering my mate paid £2200 for the same TV last year :P

Did they give you the free bluray player and 3 4k blurays as well. + cashback at 3‰. If not then the PRC deal is still £200 better surely?

Yes i noticed that especially for an older model, the K551 is a better soundbar and can be had £199-£219 from retailers.
