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.

That
That was my link which I expired to show the new deal....

Nice TV apart from the silly bent shape

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.

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!

Shame its one of the curved ones.

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

soundbar is overpriced by about 100£

Do they have non curved too ?

Amazing deal. Heated.

Same price with free UBDK8500 4K Blu Ray Player..

Awesome and right on time for the bank holiday and payday :smiley:

Curved screen is a total deal breaker - and I don't care how cheap it is.

I'd bought the UE65KS9000 at the weekend and JL have refunded the difference - brilliant stuff

Curved is obsolete.hence the price drop.

Have this TV it's fantastic, bought it at full price in November.

would of been ok if not bent

Holding out for a great deal on the 65 KS8000. Wonder if the £1499 including blu ray player was as good as it will ever get before disappearing!

Must resist :disappointed:

Incredible deal. Tempted.

What have people got against curved? Just because its not trendy any more?

lol curved is not premium..curved was just a aesthetic gimmick to sell some extra TVs.
it's all over now and curved is already obsolete, so the higher end,"premium" TVS are no longer curved.
sorry to burst your bubble.

A further delay on your inevitable ascent toward OLED...

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

Had this TV for a while as bought 2nd hand from eBay but they kept sending me models with bad backlight bleed issues.. In the end gave up and bought a KS7000 brand new from Richer Sounds as couldn't find this brand new for anything less than around £600 more than I paid for the KS7000..

Much prefer this TV though, and much prefer the curve to the straight.. Would definitely buy it at this price if I hadn't bought mine..

Anyone interested in a 4 month old KS7000? :P

How bout they keep the soundbar and sell just the TV for £999.99?

There is distortion watching any TV from an angle but your brain is very good at sorting things out..
Put a test card on the screen, take photos of it from various viewing angles and check the level of geometric distortion by putting a straight edge along the straight lines on the photo.
On a flat TV, off axis viewing will result in horizontal lines being straight but not quite parallel but on a curved TV, they will be all over the shop.

Get an Oled you don't have that problem even if it's curved!

curved is too elegant for the non elegant common mortals.
Do not go for a 4k if you do not know how to use it, curved or not.You buy this type of tv for your pleasure only, you sit in the middle not side ways and the most important thing of all at the right distance which makes justice of the curved screen, does not matter of what type of resolution or quality. I still got my very old reliable crt screen when I got guests at home and we do enjoy viewing from any angle. I do not care if they like my curved one as that is only personal to my self and few members of my family that can appreciate good stuff, who does not I always suggest to stay away

Bundle now sold out. Didn't expect them to hang around.

Had been hunting high and low for UE55KS7000 for weeks now, everywhere out of stock. Went into local Richer Sounds showroom who said they had one in stock but when I got there they didn't have it. I was offered the new model instead MU7000 for £1200 (store price £1499) but noticed it was only labelled UHD and not SUHD nor did it have quantum dot. The salesman told me the quantum dot had been dropped from the 2017 MU model and added into the QLED range. So the way I saw it was paying a good bit more for the newer model which theoretically had a poorer screen.

Did see the UE55KS9000 on display but couldn't justify the difference in price between the flat panel and curved tbh. Seems a decent price with free soundbar OP.

Took the plunge and got them to better PRC Direct price of £1329 by £20 for the 65" KS7000. Taking delivery today.

I read a number of reviews / forums about the MU7000 and the initial consensus from the AV-nerds seemed to be that its not as good as the KS7000 (Even though Richer Sounds tried to sell me one lol). I went for the 9000 over the 7000 due to the better processor etc (4k gaming etc.). I was against curved screens initially but after some investigating happily plumped for it (Dont want to hang it on the wall).

Well another one off my list. At least its more temptation gone.

Wicked deal. Spent too long thinking and now its sold out :disappointed:

i just bought the Samsung ku6500 55 inch and got a k551 soundbar for it

Richer Sounds seem to have the 65KS8000 plus Bluray player at £1499 but they don't include the 3 blurays by the look of it.

i get the distinct impression people complaining about this so-called 'distortion' have never actually watched TV on a curved screen for any extended period of time.

there is no degradation of image quality from different positions. yes the image perspective will be ever so slightly different. but this claimed 'distortion' doesn't exist, if you get a good quality curved TV.

£1,499 seems to be the new price for the 65ks8000, I don't think i can resist that any longer, seems like a great price, especially if you get freebies and some cashback, the top of the Samsung range for that price is bargains.

I was looking to get the UE55KS8000 but when I saw the edge light bleed in the showroom I was put right off :disappointed: In the end I went for the LG B6 (OLED) and the true blacks look stunning :sunglasses:

out of stock...

Thanks for that. Something else to consider.
Unfortunately my head has been turned by OLED.

They still have the TV at £1199 but you don't get the free sound bar any more. Might come back once they get more sound bars in stock? Here's hoping.

Yes i got one free with the KS8000 from JL too.Enjoy.

Lcd is more outdated than the curve. Oled is way ahead of LCD

This is expired due to John Lewis getting no more stock of this particular soundbar.

I managed to get the deal instore today in York by asking for the display soundbar.
The also price matched Hills Sound and Vision making it £1049.00

Anyone know how accurate is the 'ks7000' is coming back into jl stock? :confused:

Agree with this. The curves look lovely and the OLED curves look stunning.
Im converted to a curve since I don't like wall mounting and my TV is always in a corner.

Which soundbar was included in this bundle?
I can't see any model numbers referred to in this thread :man:

I collected the tv yesterday from Hughes rather than John Lewis. It's lovely until I tested an all black picture and noticed cloudy patches. Does anyone else have this or is mine faulty?
