If you add the bundle with the HDMI cable included at £1,509.98 you can use code LSTV150A instead which will bring the price down to £1,359.98.

Great price. 3d on these 4k TVs is spectacular - the C6 does it better than any TV out there (well apart from the far more expensive e and g) , shame it was killed off just as it started getting good.

I had a feeling the C would get reduced further. People don't seem to want the curve.

If you can't push to £1300 then I can highly recommend the LG 55uh850.
HDR looks great, gets slightly brighter than Oled but without the perfect blacks. Coming from a 7 year old budget Sony it looks spectacular. Martian in 3d is amazing!

hhmm...really want the 65 inch but at over £1000 more than 55 inch...is it really worth it??? Decisions...Decisions!!

I'd say hang on and wait for further price drops . I'm I'm not going below 65 at this resolution.

You get use to TV screen pretty quick, i would put the £1000 into Audio set up personally, also depending on your room size.

I was also in the spot as you, then decided to go with the 65" YOLO :smile:
Picked up this tv a little over a week ago. Very happy with it! It replaced my Panasonic 55 backlit LCD which I purchased a little over a year ago. Black blacks are godly and as stated the 3D performance on this tv is fantastic!
Dolby Vision support sweetens the deal but at this price if you can, buy it and never look back. I know I won't.

Dolby vision is looking a bit dead in the water as so few sources actually support it. For example, Samsung blu-ray players don't support DV at all - not even the 2017 model due this month.
Alansmithee to ro53ben

Sony and Lionsgate are releasing content in DV as is Netflix. Samsung have their own competing format (the name escapes me).

I'm aware the some producers are making DV content, but it's very hard to find equipment that will actually play it.
Samsung doesn't have its own format, they use the HDR10 standard which isn't proprietary. Anything produced in HDR10 will play on both LG and Samsung 4k TVs - it will maximise sales. Why use something that nobody can playback?

Most important features in a new TV for me, in order, best first:
OLED > HDR > 3D > CURVE > 4K

I suspect that'll change as more 4K content becomes available.

Ive been doing a pretty good job at resisting the OLED tvs.. but this price is ridiculous. Not sure wether to get the c6 or b6 though
joedredd to jnottle91
24 May 17#31
For me the decider was our seating arrange in the lounge, the curve (however slight) would've meant distortion from the opposite angles we sit. Otherwise I'd have gone for the C to get 3D even though it's limited use and dying format. Also the LG CPU could be a boon in terms of firmware release cycles.
ro53ben
24 May 17#33
At 55" from a "normal" viewing distance, it's not really possible to see that much difference between 1080p and 4k. HDR contrast, for sure, but not 4k resolution. I don't think it's worth the money unless you've got a bigger screen.
If HDR worked on a 1080p OLED it would be great value.
Masteryates
24 May 172#34
I'd disagree regarding the 3D on the LCD's. I've tested many of the LCD's in-store with test slides and the LCD's are too sensitive to vertical position. No matter where you are, at best you get crosstalk on either the top or bottom 25% of the screen. The OLED on the other hand is significantly better with respect to crosstalk and vertical position. As this the last chance to buy a 3DTV, my advice is simple. Buy the best, (The C6.)

24 May 17#36
Same here. Love my Samsung 9000 curve.
Mentos
24 May 17#37
We saw a lot of this when HD was released. There is no "normal" viewing distance per se.
It's just people's perception based on their own viewing distance and that of friends/family. In other words entirely anecdotal.
Since we're discussing anecdotal evidence. Most people I know have a viewing distance based on a combination of size/shape of living room, furniture, socket and aerial/sat feed location. Very few if any have changed in decades. And most have worked there way up in size with every purchase. Hence many have ended up in the THX window, where of course 4K starts to come into play.
Having said that I wouldn't put 4K near the top of my list due to the lack of content.
And curved, that would rule out any set :disappointed:. I'd snap the 65" version of this set up if it was flat. Instead I'll have to hope for some drops on the E series as the Mrs wants 3D.

PS4 Pro looks fantastic on it too!

24 May 17#40
That's simply not true. There can be a significant difference when viewing true 4k content on appropriate hardware in comparison to 1080p; at any distance in a house at this size..

Do they honour the discount code LSTV150A in store? or is it only online?

I'd always assumed that 3D on a curved screen just wouldn't "work." Is it actually any good?

Yes. Curve is slight on these.
Why's that?
Give it 3 or 4 years and 3d will come back.

I just ordered one and I don't know why, cheers. I scrolled down on the lg c6 page and clicked on bundles, there is the bundle for the tv and hdmi cable for £1510, which lets you use the £150 off code, LSTV150A. Also 1.5% quidco as well, waiting to see if that tracks as well. So far £1360 plus a possible £20? off.
Apparently £50 of for spending over £799 at topcashback, just been told on av forums. doh.

Just being honest based on my own experience. Sure, Netflix looks great in 4k - but that's because they want you to pay for the higher priced 4k package. Have you ever compared their 1080p picture to a 1080p blu-ray? The difference is massive and all about bitrate. They limit the bitrate on their non-4k content and it doesn't look as good as it should due to heavy compression. Their 1080p "full HD" isn't much better than 720p dodgy downloads.
If you compare the same movie on 1080p blu-ray to 4k blu-ray, the biggest difference is HDR. I was actually amazed when I got my 55" OLED at how good the 1080p picture was - my high end Panasonic 46" plasma never showed up anything like the same details from the same source. 1080p looks amazingly detailed (from blu-ray, not Netflix), but 4k doesn't look much better at all from sofa distance. If I sit on the coffee table in front of the sofa, sure I can see it, but then I block the TV for everybody else.
You stand in the aisle in a crowded shop about 2 feet from a 4K TV and it looks great but, when you get it home and across the room, it really isn't all that. I doubt I'd tell a significant difference between a 1080p OLED and a 4k OLED from my sofa - until HDR kicks in.
4k is worth every penny, but only for high bitrate and HDR.

24 May 17#55
good feedback; doubtless the people who have have brought 4k feeds will feel compelled to defend 4k as otherwise it means they paid for a feature that really isn't up to much right now.

Have had the lg Oled a few days now and have got a flicker on the HD channels? (intermittent) like a camera shutter going off? have tried everything but still there .anyone else had this fault? my Samsung Tv was fine, on all the same connections? I've contacted LG and there going to look into this. (this fault is only with the TV stations on HD)
rednwhite1879 to plumberman56

HD channels from the set itself or from Sky or something?
