Very good picture with Passive 3D, comes with magic remote and smart features. Good sound quality with 2.1 speakers designed by Harman Kardon.
Price had been inflated to £899 recently but back down to a more reasonable £599.
Currently TopCashBack are offering 10% on LG TV purchases at Currys (so £49.91 available as it's minus vat) for the next 4 days, so that gets it down to £550 eventually. Not as cheap as it got in Feb, but I don't have a time machine :smiley:
Got mine ordered for delivery on Saturday, so hope this helps anyone else who may be debating on whether to purchase.

The 3d on this (mines the 55" model) is brilliant, only bettered by OLED c6 upwards imo. Releasing 3d on crappy 1080p sets with active glasses is what killed it off, if it was released now it would take off.
Some people had received dodgy sets where they get cross talk on top quarter or bottom but mines perfect.

only opened the built in browser, that's what it said in the email.. I guess they don't use chrome now
software version of the TV is 04.30.95 if that makes any difference :wink:

had this TV for a week now as the lightning storms cooked the HDMI ports on my old one, (plus my V6 box & onkyo too!) and needed a cheap emergency TV!
the web browser has worked fine, with zero errors - the 4k is beautiful - the 3d is insane, especially 4k 3d... pi$$es all over active 3d
if you can find one, get one, but with the price now ending in 97p, good luck!

Pros
- Bluetooth connects to 3rd party bluetooth speaker and headphones
-The Passive 3D is so much better than the active 3D on my 2013 Samsung.
- Upscaling is good.
- IPTV app SIPTV works a treat.
- Web OS zippy performer.
- Built in speakers ok.
loving it.

Well mine turned up today and I'm very happy with it (3D is very good, although a little ghosting on Sky 3D).
I know the 55" was a bit cheaper than it currently is a few weeks back and if you wait it may drop again (I waited on this dropping and only had to wait a few weeks).

Can I ask a question please? The TV doesn't have Amazon video 4k or YouTube 4k listed under smart features (only Netflix 4k). Does anyone know if this is something that could be added at a later date (Via a software update) or whether this will never be available? Thanks

So tempted by this..but I think I might wait another month. I'm assuming these are nearing the end of the line now so should drop a bit more.
I'll probably end up waiting so long that I'll miss out...that's the danger of being a cheapskate.:disappointed:

I'd been waiting for this one to come down in price for a bit. Purchased it yesterday after happily seeing it drop in price.
It is an awesome TV. Previous TV was an LG 3D 1080P one i was always very happy with that. This one new one is obviosuly an upgrade and very pleased with it.

I have one of these TV's and the picture quality is very poor, not sure if it's a fault, no body seems to know? Trouble is if a picture has a lot of detail like a check coat, the picture flickers see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1-ogiYH5A0 Hair strands appear to be grey streaks. Anyone with the same TV experienced this problem?

i have the 55" and its a quality TV for the price i got it. I use this with my PC and it holds up well with gaming etc. 3D was never really something i was into, maybe just the early examples of it not being so great but am quite impressed with the 3D on this. Sound from its decent enough for your casual watch when you dont want to get asbo using the amp. Yes, theres plenty of misleading info to whether this is a 8bit + 2 or 10bit panel, but to be fair i think you would be hard pushed to tell the diffrence, great tele all the same

I bought this TV just recently and I love it. Bought the popular 55 inch Samsung UEKS7000 at the same time and honestly the cheaper LG model is what I prefer for all round entertainment and ease of use.
I only bought it for the rare 3d capabilities and was pleasantly surprised by the all round quality for the price.

It is 8bit but 2bit dithering ... its almost as good as a full 10bit panel which is why theres lots of confusion on it etc. The TV is brilliant btw .. ive got 2 of the 55'' ones and 2 friends have one too. There might well be a voucher about to get the price down further ... there has been in the past

I have it, it's deffo 8 bit with FRC.
Don't forget, it's LG, they have plenty of form for misleading people, for example they claim the uh 6100, uh6400 and uh6800 are 4k.
S21 review of the 55inch version in depth REVIEW also confirms it's a 10 bit panel
jaydeeuk1
7 Jun 17#20
This is 8bit with FRC however the human eye won't be able to tell the difference between that and true 10 bit.
The brightness is the biggest difference between this and the Samsung, so while this will go as bright as last year's oled sets, it won't look quite as bright as the Samsung. However, Samsung doesn't do 3d, has stupid wide legs, build quality on a lot of sets is shocking, inferior sound and I prefer webos.

If thats true, then it makes it cheaper than the KS7000 for the cheapest 10bit panel.. but some of the reviews do not favour the HDR much prob because of the brightness not getting up to 1000 nits

Looking on the Price Spy history, it showed up as £499 on Feb 6th, but it doesn't say if this was at Currys / PC World or possibly a refurb on Amazon.

I agree, 3D on 4K TV's is stunning and a mile away from 1080p sets,
Think the 850v also has higher wattage audio. 40w vs 20w. I have the 850 and it does have decent audio for a thin tv

Hawkmoon to haritori
7 Jun 171#2
It's basically the same tv with the addition of the passive 3D. For the sake of £21 (cheapest 770V appears to be £529) it's not a bad deal if you want 3D (and the passive 3d on this has been well reviewed).
Sorry just realised that Argos have a deal on the 770V, so the difference is a about £75, so yeah it's all about whether you want the 3D or not.
