By all means check with Richer Sounds, but I bought this tv from Amazon for a similar price a few weeks back and neither Richer Sounds nor John Lewis would price match at the time. Mind you, prices on tvs are tumbling all the time, so you never know. Lovely picture with this tv - android system not as snappy as I'd like, but upscaling of 1080 works very well and great colours. Slight loss of detail in blackest parts of picture, no matter how hard I tweak, but otherwise, very happy with picture. Sound also not at all bad, though I invariably pass a digital signal to an external system.
On demand services not well catered for unless you pay for the privilege - iplayer excepted which is excellent, of course. Android apps limited in choice compared to what you can put on a phone or tablet, but mirroring and casting works well. Built in Sony media players for video/sound/pictures have their limitations, but I rely on brilliant kodi for a lot of media playback, which is slicker and copes much better with most formats. The TV works as my hifi front end too and, passed through my external DAC, the sound quality is as good as any other hifi front end I've got.

All in all a very good tv and excellent price.

Vouchers or not, the 5 year warranty from Richer Sounds alone (never mind the fact that they will beat the price} is all I would need to go there.

Richer sounds will beat the price by £10, and give you a 5 year warranty..

Heat from me. Amazon my preferred retailer with vouchers to use - thank you OP

Not me - with £300 in vouchers it has to be Amazon for me.

Had a Camelcamelcamel price track on this for a while, but now unsure whether to go for this at £629, the LG 55UH850V at 770 (Curry's, with 5 year warranty, plus potential 10% TopCashback bringing it down to £710) or the LG 55UH770V at 611 (Argos, with 1 year warranty).

The LGs are native 200Hz, whereas this Sony is listed as native 50Hz, and the LG's also have FreeSat (have no TV aerial), whereas this has a DVB-S2 input but no FreeSat EPG (which I'd hope to get around by re-ordering the channels so all FTA satellite channels were first). This Sony model also seems to have many complaints about sluggish operation of Android with its dual core processor, whereas the quad core LGs on WebOS don't appear to be so slow. On the flipside, I've templated this already on a wall for cable chasing and love the design.

Anyone compared these sets side by side?

I'm also torn between this and the LG set

Avoid, unless you like having a DPS board failure every 6 months..... then waiting 2-3 weeks for the part to come back in stock.
Sony isn't the manufacturer it used to be
