Nice, if only it wasn't a curved model.

WHY and WHY do you have to troll every thread for products you cannot afford?

Now, toddle off and go pick up that Digihome piece of **** in your Dacia Sandero.

I'm an owner of a 55" LG E6 oled and a 55" Samsung KS7000. to be honest I'm disappointed with oled technology. the detail lost due to the brightness is quite surprising when side by side with the KS7000. then there's the motion. the LG oled is terrible for motion blur. it can be smoothed out using De judder settings but be prepared to see artifacts such as screen tearing on fast moving objects and especially on animated cartoons. the problem with artifacts and motion is a widely reported problem on forums so just beware. Imo the Samsung ks 7 8 or 9 series is better TV in just about every department over oled and is half the price. even the new 7 series oleds are suffering from the same motion problems. I think oled technology still has a long way to go. the better bet atm is still to stick with a high end led. especially for hdr content

Cold, not 8bit.

oh dear..... another clueless

I got an email back from JL saying they would not price match Argos as they dont PM voucher codes

yes but JL have price matched so get the 5 year guarantee

Argos been selling B6 for weeks at £1349 in stock with code TVS10

bit gutted as wanted the C6, have found a good deal with the B6 for £1,349. and JL will price match, problem is no 3D, apparently the C6 has a better Chip?

If you change the bundle to a cable tidy it takes it over 1500 but the code still doesn't work unfortunately. I was going to get one otherwise

What's the obsession with brightness?
The B6, so I assumes the C6 is also, plenty bright enough.
Mine is in a dedicated 'mancave' where I watch movies with lights out. I have watched TV in daylight and still turned the brightness down as a bright picture washes out alot of detail.

Reply to your comment about the KS9000 read mamaboys comment! http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/samsung-ks9000-49-inch-10-hdr-4k-curved-tv-john-lewis-for-849-2723262

sorry no time to properly respond, but to say i've nabbed a copy of planet earth to play on my xbox one s looking forward to watching it and compare to what you said about your sammy.

Thought it was sneaky by currys to drop the price by £10 so the code doesnt work anymore when you add the hdmi cable to take it over the £1500 mark.

Its a shame this site has gone to the trolls lately

Far too hot and no I don't tend to read long cut & paste descriptions.

Can you not be bothered reading the op is it too hot for you ?

Currys offering a 5 year warranty on this?

just put anything animated on through a sky q box or any source. peppa pig is a prime example my son watches. even with de judder set at 1 and blur set at 0 the screen tears when characters talk. a problem on b6 c6 and e6 and I'd imagine the g6. fast paced scenes on some content has a tearing effect also on none animated movies. if true motion is set to off there is 0 artifacts but the motion blur is off the map terrible on some content but not all. it depends on what fps it's filmed in. the Samsung KS7000 is poor on motion also with motion settings turned off but adding it soothes out the frames better than the e6 and with 0 artifacts. blacks are too black on oled and contrast too strong. this is where detail is lost like I say especially in dark shadow areas. on the KS7000 more detail can be seen. there is no backlight bleed on mine. yes the picture washes out when you move off centre of the screen on some scenes but looking straight at it against the oled e6 the motion is better and so is the detail

Samsung don't sell any OLED TV's
They have QLED but that is just marketing, they are still LCD with the same issues.

Thanks for the great response. The C6 is a great TV. I think there's too much fuss about peak bright and dark. If I had a cinema room, just watched movies or had it placed in a dark corner, I'd get the oled no doubt. It would be bright enough. I have the KS9000. Since you made some excellent points about the oled I'll do the same for the LCD. Firstly they are incredibly bright. Don't have it on dynamic, especially in the dark while watching ads where they switch to a full white screen, Yes it will make you wince. However with a good 4K HDR source, like BBC planet earth 2, brightest 1000nit scenes are just the pin prick twinkle on stars, the sun pearcing between the leaves, glistening of rain drops. It's so subtle and expertly used it enhances the whole scene - just as oled blacks, when used properly enhance the whole scene too. The 1000nit peak brightness of LCDs are only sustainable for a short period on 5-10% of a screen, so when film makers use it properly, say for lightning or explosion effects, it looks nice. It also helps it produce the huge increase in colour. I'd say the peak brightness adds a nice visual sparkle and makes images pop.

The KS9000 series and probably even the new range have moved their LEDs from the side of the screen to below. Whereas before it could local dim the black bars in movies, now it can't and you see light leakage below. That's just an unavoidable problem with the new models. If you're used to OLED you'll be horrified at the sight. However during daylight it doesn't show much and at night I turn the back light down to 30-50% and boy do the blacks improve. Even at that setting the image is bright enough. In fact in pitch black I turn it all the way down and it still looks great, the local dimming, black moth filter on the screen all go to make the blacks look I credible. From and LCD point of view it's nice to have this option but it means either leaving eco mode on or tweaking it each time.

Regarding the curve. It's a none factor. As you say you don't even notice it. I found it very off putting at first but once the TV is on I don't think I've ever noticed it. I'd say to anyone put off from buying and tv because it's curved - don't be.

The built-in 4.1 speakers in the KS9000 are amazing. I have put my old sound bar to the other telly instead.

What I really so hate about the KS9000 is UI is pretty horrible. The navigation is so unnecessarily cumbersome, the PVR function isn't great and I'm looking forward to my Virgin TV box arriving soon.

The smart remote is great though. Overall great hardware, terrible software.

I'd say to anyone looking to buy a C6 or Ks9000 series TV, you are buying into the future. The technology inside these tvs is a standard for the future. Netflix 4K HDR, Amazon Prime TV, 4K HDR blue ray looks amazing. There is a lot of content out there and it's increasing all the time.

Yes they will become outdated soon ut not before you get plenty of use out of them. I would describe 4K 10bit HDR (esp HDR 1000) to be akin to the 1080p standard of the past when we had a lot of confusion with intermediary tech such as 720p, 1080i, 16:10, etc. Ultimately 1080p came out on top and became the defacto standard for HD viewing.

I feel you'll get same 'standard proofing' with these. I can't wait to see the prices of this tech drop hugely over the years so it's mainstream and everyone get to benefit. Once you've seen solid 4K HDR content with proper source material you'll know you're seeing the future.

Must resist, my Panasonic is only 4y old

One more thing Lcd has a brightness baseline like say 20 and max 100 and oled has 0 and max like 70 so its the same but better

Interesting comparison thanks. I was a little surprised to read it though, I haven't noticed any judder (i think I set dejudder to it's lowest setting) and I don't feel like I'm missing any detail, but I've not spent any meaningful amount of time with a current 4k LCD, certainly not long enough to make a comparison..(what source material are you watching? I'll see if I can see it - can you suggest anything on amazon prime or netflix?) I did look at the k7000 when I was shopping for the c6, but it looked really washed out (it was in currys so not exactly comprehensive there) I'm sure the K7000 is great and next years QLEDS are shaping up be a real step up. I got OLED fever though and you know, I'm pleased with it.

Doesn't matter if it's a gimmick or not, it is the better set... why all the stigma around curved tellies, sure they are pointless, but people shouldn't feel guilty about buying them

No - not a big jump at all..

I had a cracking Sony 1080p TV however, really good model when it was released, I'm happy with the image on my C6 - great HDR and an improvement in 4k for sure, just don't expect a jump from DVD to HD... nowhere near as dramatic.......

Recently got this for a similar price and can't recommend enough. Was sitting on the fence for a long time since owning a panny plasma, but this really is leagues ahead. I thought the curve would be annoying, but the 3d is well worth it. It's rare to get that "wow" moment when sitting in your living room, bit this really delivers. Would never go back.

I've got the C6 - and in honesty, it is less searingly bright, take note of the word I used there, you know when you watch something in a dark room then the image goes super bright to make you wince, I've not had that with the OLED. It has been perfectly bright enough in daytime viewing and nightime with 2 lights (6 bulbs) on in the living room,

HOWEVER...

When I first got it, I looked at it and thought, hmm... is it really bright enough? I came to the conclusion that yes it is, but after thinking about it for a while, I realized that because is does blacks so well,dark scenes do look, well, dark...

I've had the TV for a few months now - and not had these initial impressions again as I guess I've gotten used to it. If you feed it good source material, it's plenty plenty bright enough... whites are white, blacks are black and everything in between, it's great.

Bit of an abstract explaination but I hope it helps.

OH and you SHOULD get the C6 - it has the electronics from the E6 and G6. LG will release a Hybrid Log gamma update for the 2016 tellies, but as the b6 is a 3rd party chipset - it might not get the update. They released update for HDR game mode, the b6 update came out several months later. I don't care about the curve or 3d but you know, when you've had it a while, you really cannot notice the curve at all, it's very slight anyway. Banging on about a pointless curve? Why care?

Law of diminishing returns. Of course, what's value to you, may not be to another.

For me, 300 pounds on a pants TV is worthless, and hence a waste of money and poor value.

If I had 1.4K, this would be a good investment, and worth the money for me - better value.

What a rip off

I couldn't agree more. the KS Samsung's are truly a bargain if you get a good panel without backlight bleed. I also find oled colours to be over saturated. in seriously considering selling my e6. the oled tvs ain't worth the money against high end led Tvs. especially at double the price. also Dolby vision is no better than hdr 10 from what I can see on mine

Someone clearly can't afford one, so decided to pick on the people that can!

"Yawn"...... someone clearly can't afford one, so decided to pick on the people that can!

And quite possibly the last too.

If u no like curve or 3d http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/argos-lg-oled55b6v-oled-hdr-4k-ultra-hd-smart-tv-55-with-freeview-hd-freesat-hd-2701451

the only thing the LG oleds have over any tv is how dark the black is. It is truly amazing! in all other departments it just simply isn't good enough to cost on average double of an equivalent size set. seriously underimpresssd

No. Only old LED TVs have 3D. From my knowledge,, Samsung don't do a 4k HDR 10 tv with 3d. Personally a fan of 3d at home, plus 3d imax..... it's a great shame. Doesn't take much to add it.

Second that. Have the 65KS9000 and I love the look. Sofa is directly in front of the tv and in my opinion feels nicer to look at.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.engadget.com/amp/2017/04/20/samsung-and-amazon-counter-dolby-vision-hdr-with-hdr10/
No, but this is worth a look and good for Samsung.

I purchased this TV 8 month ago for £1650, I'm not sure you mentioned the fact it is Dolby Vision enabled not just HDR

Yes, peak brightness which is a 5-10% of the screen maximum. In "real terms" that would equate to pin prick stars dazzling super bright, the glistening of wet leaves in the sun, the glint of a blade in the light, the glint of glass, the sun dazzling amongst leaves and all the extra colours HDR brings. I can promise you while I sit here typing this message while watching Planet Earth 2 in 4K HDR 1000 on my KS9000 in Dynamic mode, at not a single point did I think wow, this is too bright or I'm blinded. It just looks clean and sharp and literally like SLR photos in motion such is the clarity and vividness in colour, sharpness, detail and brightness. I know OLEDs are marvelous but I've yet to sit in a pitch black room looking at a black screen on my LCD and worrying about seeing greys. In real world situations the LCD panels simply dazzle over OLEDs. Yeah my next telly is 100% going to be an OLED but that's in 5yrs where they've finally surpassed LCD.

Does the Samsung support Dolby Vision?

Which model Samsung are you referring to? I need to delete a good 46/49" tv, not bothered about 3D, just want a good pq and no motion blur etc. for the lounge.

I'll go for OLED giant one for the cinema room (one day when I get one!)

no. that's the only downside. apart from that the Samsung is the better TV especially for hdr

Don't be put off with clowns saying it's a gimmick.I love mine and would buy a curved one again and would never go back to a boring flat panel.

Yeah thanks and there c@#p :wink: Love oled tv's and want the samsung version but too expensive at the moment.

4k stuff given amazing picture but not as much of a big jump as SD to HD was a few years back, the biggest jump is with HDR, content filmed this way is truley stunning...imho

Do any of those Samsung have 3d?

Amazing price especially for OLED . :sunglasses:

Think OLED is still a year or two away from truly maturing. Pre HDR it was way out in front but HDR add so much to a picture and at the moment its not a strength for the technology.

yes me. they look worse on oled due to lack of detail in shadow areas due to crushed blacks. I'm actually amazed how much more detail is achievable with the KS7000. side by side you will be shocked. trust me

Anyone used sky q HD Channels on this? My ks7500 looks brilliant on 4k but the regular HD channels on sky look much worse than I would expect

I watched 'The Martian' in 4K and it was pretty amazing to see. Highly recommend the upgrade to anyone.

People who have experienced motion issues are also reporting the new update vastly improves any problems. Only been released in Russia but can still be downloaded and should be, officially, here in the U.K soon.

LCD is your only option there, the same as projecting is the only option over about 77". For those in the middle though, there is a choice.

Do you not mean: "some folk can afford to buy what they want now, whilst other have to wait ages for the price to drop into their affordability bracket"?

Just because people can (and choose to) spend their hard earned money on something, does not make them idiots. All it makes them is successful and wealthy; and no amount of name calling can take away from the fact that they have a bigger disposable income than yours.

Of course there are some people who may go well out of their budgetary constraints to buy such a TV for egoistical purposes and that is truly sad.

Completely agree. So, if you are restricted to a TV under 50" what would you go for?

The thing is, all TVs have areas of weakness, and if you're waiting for them all to be ironed out you'll never buy another.

LCDs can go brighter, but lack a certain organic picture quality that appeals in particular to those who loved plasma. OLED solves this, but can't hit the same peak brightness which is becoming a factor for HDR material. The good thing is we've got decent sets in both types of tech now so it really is a case of what you prefer.

Basically the same CPU, just different manufacture of the chips. That does mean the software licensing for them is slightly different which is rumoured to have caused the delays on the B, not the C.

Playing No Mans Sky on my PS4 HDR is lush. I've not noticed any issues on my B6 with regards to refresh rates, but then some people are sensitive flowers.

I mulled a lot over OLED vs KS9000, even saw them running side by side. OLED blacks are impressive but I just found the KS9000 just so much more vibrant, bright and colourful. For me this is like the early days of LCD and the final days of CRT where the best CRTS still had much better picture quality than early gen LCDs even though LCDs were the future. I think at this moment the best LCDs are probably on balance better than the best OLEDs but I have no doubt the next time I buy a big telly when my 5yr warranty runs out will be an OLED when we will have all these early gen problems ironed out. OLEDs as great as they are still arnt mass market. When they are the technology will ramp well ahead of LCDs.

Good info there..... wasn't aware. Looks like it's worth saving those extra pennies and go for this

I had the 49UF850 for a week last year. The 3D on these sets, (I've also seen plenty of UH850's,) suffers from a viewing height issue. No matter what height you view from, there is always crosstalk on a portion of the screen. The OLED's on the other hand don't suffer this issue and are much more tolerant to the viewing height.

Just returned my LG910V and will be ordering this c6, "to all you b6 & c6 owners"...is there a big jump between 1080p & 4k viewing? dont want to open a can of worms here but some of the mkv data viewed on the 910v were outstanding (1080p)

Did you notice a big jump between 1080p & 4k viewing?

Would love one of these, but happy to wait until price drops dramatically -they said the original "slim" TVs (twice width of modern), going for £3-4,000 in mid 2000's wouldn't fall THAT much in price, but in end they reduced far more. So I'll wait and hope it drops to a third of this !

Sony 49XE9005 is an outstanding tv! If that's too pricey the 49X8305 is a good tv at a decent price.

I would be interested to know the gaming lag figures for non-HDR and HDR game modes. I know there was a kerfuffle with B6 awaiting a firmware update but I believe that has now received an update bring lag down to 28ms or less if I recall.

I believe that the C6 is a different chipset - anybody know where any such updates are in relation to that. If similar then with the added bonus of 3D then I might be on-board.

Is the built in sound setup better on this set than the B6 ?

Cheers

Gimmick?! LOL! My E6 is truely awesome, with no judder issues noticed.

Yes anyone got lag time for gaming? I'd like to know too. thanks in advance

Anyone know what gaming like on this is there lag ?

Can't fit this 55" tv in my room. I don't think there are any OLED tv's smaller than 50". Can anyone recommend a 46/49" tv as an alternative? For your info, I'm still using a pioneer plasma which is fantastic, but now want to upgrade to something thinner with a narrower frame. Just haven't so far as I generally find 'motion' on newer tv's a bit poor. Thanks!

some idiot has to buy these overpriced gimmick TVs for the manufacturers to invest the huge profits into development, so the financially savvy peeps can eventually have it when the mainstream broadcasters produce for the new standard :smile:

great tv and very good price not many left at this price and only available at currys

Can anyone explain why to me if 1. Having a higher nit telly is better and if so why? My only reason I can think of is if direct sunlight is shining on the panel the higher brightness will still make the image visible?

WHY and WHY do I have to spend this much on a telly??? Have you looked at the Polaroid Model from Asda or the Digihome TV from Tesco? Better value IMO!

Do we know how bright these panels go? I know the blacks are perfect but I always wonder how bright the images would be in a reasonably well lit room. How well would i compare to say a Samsung KS9000? I thought the HDR spec has been rejigged for OLED so they only need to hit 500 nits whereas LCDs need to hit 1000 nits to be HDR1000

Amen. I got the ks9000 65 recently for downstairs. (Wanted a big tv, HDR for gaming). 1100 at currys. But I broke the tv in the bedroom. Missing the option of 3D in the house, which I love. So tempted to get this.
Agree best 3D OLED for the price easily. Cheaper option is
49UH850V LG 4K HDR 10 bit LED for £599.

I have the 910v, its amazing, but have a flicker with the HD tv channels, have tried everything to stop but no joy, so will return and may go fot this? oled is amazing, have packed up the Oled and ready to return, am not watching my led Samsung, what a disappointment..lol. Oled rules, anyone else had this flicker fault with the HD channels on a Oled?

Heat, think this is the lowest price this tv will ever be brand new from a shop with 5 years warranty. Currys stock is getting low for this tv. Personally I prefer this over this years LG TV's, for the 3D alone.

and cold for not needing to re-glue the back panel....

Think I will go for this TV, the 910v was amazing, think this also has the ITV Hub? the 3d on the Oleds is amazing, is the 5 year warranty with Currys or LG?

Code does work on orider over £1499

That guy has to be trolling.

NOW WORKING :smiley:

The 2m HDMI cable is worth it alone just for it's digital clarity. To give it away free well that's just...

It's great to see OLED coming down in price so quickly. I wonder how much this would cost if it didn't have the pointless curve gimmick?

TV100A ...not working?

Before anyone asks, yes it is 10 bit.

code not working?

Nice, if only it wasn't a curved model.

Well spotted discoman- can I ask did you buy the c6 the last time around? How are you finding it

Oh it isn't...

seems a good price...
