would get if this was the 3D one..

Completely different technology. This is OLED. Hisense is Smart LED. Smart LED is basically glorified LCD just with per pixel backlighting. You're still hampered by LCD panel technology such as poor contrast ratio and viewing angles. OLED is far superior when it comes to picture quality. This is easily one of the best TVs for the money around right now. The only set in my opinion that comes close is the Samsung KS models but with that you're still going to fall foul of the trappings of LCD technology where true blacks are impossible with some dimwitted backlight response. Side by side the OLED55B6V just looks better. Blacks are actually black (because the OLEDs are actually turned off) whites are truly white (once calibrated, it does have a tendency to go towards blue spectrum on the colour temperature out of the box, but it's easily fixed).

Also 3D is dead. Fewer and fewer TVs are supporting it. It's only a matter of time before it disappears back into obscurity.

About £900

and another oled tempting me

I bought this online this morning and the code worked as well thanks

Try AVFORUMS loads of threads on there.

Does anyone have a link advising of recommended setup for this TV?

I used code in store at Warrington branch with no trouble. Served by the manager who said a few people had used the code on the day I purchased my 55C6 so he already knew the code and also got 20% off a new stand though I think this has now finished.

LSTV150A can only be used for Home Delivery orders only. Voucher is applied fairly late on in the checkout process. One user mentioned they were able to get a sales rep to apply the code instore. Seeing as the code isn't published on the Currys site John Lewis are unable to pricematch. Because of this the chance of getting a member of staff to honor the code instore is fairly slim. Currys deliver weekends if being home to receive the order is a problem......

would like to know this as well...

How do you apply the code is it for online orders only and not 'pick up at store'?

There was an issue with 4k HDR Blu Ray stuttering at 24p, but that was corrected by a firmware update. The motion on my TV has been great since then, with no issues. I have all Tru Motion etc. turned off and it's fine, whether watching movies, football, F1 etc. It's fluid, with no stuttering at all.

Not had much experience with Richer Sounds. I am near Yeovil, not particularly local to any stores.....Exeter/Bristol are 30 miles. Would I have a better chance phoning a store to try and price match the Currys offer like Yiddo4life & lala123 has or phoning general sales and trying? John Lewis were unable to price match due to LSTV150A not being publicised on Currys website...

I must be imagining buying and watching a 3D movie nearly every week for the last 5 years then?

Yep no problem at all. It was 8% when I went on too.

Is it right this 150 off is until Wednesday?

Thanks!

Its also the way to the poor house

If you want Oled, this is the only way to go :sunglasses:

RS - Richer sounds - Rang up local store Cheltenham and they checked Curry's online and beat it with price beat by £20 hence £1429, I couldn't make it to collect yesterday so they're delivering Tuesday - no extra cost

Yeh I spoke to Laura. She said she rang Currys and they said the deal had expired. Told her it was still available online and she agreed to beat it by £20.

Have you got the name of the person you dealt with, please?

How did you manage that?

Same here from Leeds branch. Richer Sounds.

Rs?

RS delivering this Tuesday £1429 with free delivery and 6 year warranty
Thanks to Cheltenham branch :smiley:

I tried price match before with JL and denied as code not visible on website - that's JL for you " never knowingly undersold" best of luck!

Can anyone please link me to somewhere on the Currys website that shows the advert for this promotion code? JL won't price match it atm as they're saying the code could be from a third party website. I just need to verify it. Please help asap. Many thanks in advance x

I think I'll go for any oled from John Lewis

Just be mindful that the ks8000, as all edge lit leds,are notoriously effected by light bleed which you don't get with Oled!

Thanks David

I think reviews suggest LG OLED is superior but Samsung always seem highly rated and I think the KS8000 get particularly good reviews. Have a look at hdtvtest.co.uk and whathifi.com.

Someone said that probably wouldn't work if you used the £150 voucher code

Quidco currys exclusive £50 cashback for TV's over £1000. Only for the next 2 days

I too don't care much for 3D however OLED Passive 3D, especially on 4K is in a league of its own. Trumps even cinema 3D

Is this one or Samsung UE55S8000 better?
I'm not sure which one to go with

Hi,

Were you able to use the prepaid work vouchers online? If so I'm doing the same thing!

Is there a link to the code (like an advert) so I can link it to JL to see if we can get it priced matched please?

Did they price match it for you?

Bargain, with currys vouchers at 7.5% off through a work scheme it comes down to £1340

Panasonic still supporting it but only with active crap glasses. Passive 3D on a 4k bright screen must be amazing

I think I've been reading to many threads on avforums - but can I ask do you have any problems with stuttering or motion they are discussing on the above forum

The B6 has lowest input lag for gaming in the 2016 OLED range at 27.5ms also higher peak brightness due to the removal of 3D polarisation filter. Bought one when they went to £1,599.00 and have no regrets spectacular telly for the price. I primarily use for gaming while using headphones although the speakers are plenty good enough for general viewing. There isn't a single 3D film I'd particularly want to own either so it was an easy purchase.

There is a difference between opinion and fact. Why do some folk assume they can speak for the masses?

Yes we know that. Doesnt stop people from wanting it to try existing 3D content for a similar price as a nice extra to have.

3D is as dead as disco. No new (2017) models of any reputable brand are supporting 3D anymore.

Ta. Very little one way or the other, from what's posted.

This is a good review from the same site:

http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/oled55e6-201604274285.htm

If you want to get technical each OLED is it's own light source. The pixel is an organic light emitting diode. That's not the point I was making, just that Smart LED is not LED it's an LCD screen with a backlight, just like previous LCD TVs which have on the whole been terrible compared to alternative technologies such as Plasma.

I should mention I have this TV myself, have had it since November last year and it's by far the best TV I've ever had and ever seen even looking at newer models in the shops I cannot see those as being any improvement over my set. My TV biased towards blue before calibration. So it's most likely down to the individual TVs themselves as to what bias you have.

Can definitely back up your point about the depth though. The infinite blacks are the biggest eye-popping feature of this screen. Once you iron out the wrinkles at the top end by calibrating so that white is actually white. With HDR enabled content, night scenes just pop. Day scenes are like looking through a portal. It's insane. It doesn't look like there's a TV there anymore. Like looking through a window. The Grand Tour and Mad Max Fury Road are particularly good examples of HDR done right.

Wasn't too keen on a curve but having checked the C6V out, the curve is so slight it won't bother me at all.

Got a 65C6V on order when it was £2699 using the £150 code down to £2549. Delayed delivery until 20th so I'll still be in 14 day return window in case they drop them a load over the coming bank holiday.

Back to this TV though and I have a friend with one who is very happy with it and you won't likely get one much cheaper.

Just put the delivery for over a weeks time to cover yourself for any potential price drops over BH.

I really didn't want a curved screen, which ruled out the C6 for me. The PQ on my B6 is fantastic and I honestly haven't noticed it to be any worse than on my E6 (which I had for around a month and even ran side by side with the B6). The E6 has the same SOC as the C6. LG have suggested that there's no reason why their full 2016 range will not get HLG. The B6 is actually the best selling 2016 LG OLED by some margin, so I'd say that it would be unlikely that they would ignore that, even if it requires some additional coding for a different SOC.

We only need to look at the fantastic post launch support that they have given to the B6 so far. LG actually came to my house on 3 or 4 occasions with some guys from Korea, to sort out an issue that was happening with Netflix DV content being messed up. They have also added in the new HDR game mode so that 4K HDR games can be played at low latency.

The M7000 uses local backlight dimming which dims the LED backlight in zones. That's very different to 'per pixel dimming' which is what OLED gives you. I.e. each pixel has its own light source.
The B6V has a push towards green with an un-calibrated white balance too (ISF Expert modes), not blue.

I've had my B6V for about a month now and it is by far the best TV I've owned in terms of PQ. That's comparing calibrated displays too (Panasonic VT30 plasma & CX802b LED LCD for example). It gives the naturalness of plasma but with a much more 3D presentation to the images. The picture has so much depth because of the 'infinite contrast ratio' true black gives. That'll be the first thing you notice coming from any other display technology and they're all inferior if PQ is your primary concern.
That's a bit of a generalisation. Certain displays have issues with banding if they're fed content with a higher bit depth but, that's the same with certain native 10 bit displays too. I've not checked whether my B6v suffers from this as my sources can all be configured to output 10 bit per channel or less, so I've no need to. If it does, potential buyers will need to be careful with the choice of their source kit. Although, I believe even the 'troublesome' Panasonic UHD BD players can output at 10 bit per channel now?!
It's also worth mentioning that any display can suffer from banding if the content isn't particularly high quality or is compressed to death. There's a lot of that type of content out there.

55 c6 better 3d and quicker updates firmwire etc.... both great Tv for the money

Shame that is only currys that do the 55 c6 3d

Great TV. I bought the 65" at launch and it's been a stunning TV. I had the E6 before it (but returned it due to banding) and prefer the simple styling of the B6 if I'm honest. The under TV speaker on the E6 is OK, but not great and typically folk buying these TVs will also invest in a decent quality sound system as well. 3D is good on the E6 (if that's important), but to me it's a bit of a gimmick and wasn't really important.

The B6 has improved vastly with regard to several firmware updates (I worked with LG on the 4K HDR 24p stutter issue and that was solved a few months back) and now has low latency game modes and HDR game modes (around 24 ms).

There are still some uniformity issues on some panels (typically some minor vignetting, usually on the right - mine has some of this, but it is minor and rarely noticeable in content) and vertical banding (thankfully mine has none of this), but for less than £1500 this is a cracking TV.

Thank you, but are we talking about a gift card / ordinary gift vouchers?? How can it be combined? currys gift vouchers are the same as a gift card. I might have confused you, I was talking about gift vouchers in denomination of £20's

Like others I want the C6 for 3D, I don't use it often but it's nice to have.

uhmmm, with currys voucher and a 10% off , I can get it for a total of £145 off but ideally I prefer the c6 version at this price

For HDR i've read that 10bit is better than 8bit. On the RS website it has this tv as " 10 bit (8 bit + FRC) " which from what I can tell is an 8bit panel which is is up-scaled? to show 10bit. Is it not best to just buy a TV that is pure 10bit HDR or doesn't it really matter?

Love it on my LG.

Watched the martian last night on my cheapo 55uh850, absolutely amazing. I'm actually annoyed that 3d was pushed 5 years too early on sh*tty 1080p screens, if it was launched now on these 4k sets it would have taken off.

What is the difference in this to a Hisense 7000 series? Thanks

The C6 is a cracking TV. Had mine about a month now and it's hands down the best TV I've ever owned.

This they ever fix the input lag for gaming?

Yeah... if you say so.. :wink:

would get if this was the 3D one..

Did you notice that Quidco are offering £50 cashback on any TV over £50 from Currys?

[quote=lala123]Richer Sounds beat the price by £20[/quote
Do you mean £1429?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPlhOW-oq9M

Interesting review, still want the c6 3d :smiley:

Richer Sounds beat the price by £20

That was for £1499 though wasn't it? I meant would they match £1449

E6v seems to remain stubbornly high - £2k. With this under £1,500 and no particular interest in 3D, is the extra £500 worth it?

informed views? I have one and it's a nice TV if your wanting to know what it's like

the e6 has came down £200 in the last couple of weeks at £100 a time. can't see it dropping much further imo. at £1850 with code for the e6 is a very good price

RS price match?

I will submit a price match with John Lewis

Good to see it's down again as disco says was this price before probably the c6 will come down to if you want 3D curve screen
