If like me you have been looking for a new 4K TV that doesn't completely break the bank and isn't too big then this could be very useful for you.
It was £799 a couple of days ago but it seems to have dropped to £749 at a number of retailers now including Richer Sounds if you can find it in stock.
I decided to post the John Lewis deal as it's a brand everyone knows and respects and the TV comes with a 5 year guarantee as standard.
This TV is 10-bit, HDR and comes with freeview and freesat tuners.
It's also highly rated on Which? and is one of their top TV picks for 2017 so far.

To be honest I'm scared off by the RGBW comments. I'm just about to have a look at a couple of Sony TVs at richer sound for about the same money.

I wouldn't be. From what I've seen it's very much something people complain about in principle before they purchase, rather than something people find they dislike after they buy the TV.
Unless you want it for close work (e.g. PC use on a desktop) then it wouldn't bother me at all on a 49" TV.
This is an LCD not an OLED, the extra brightness steps are handled by the backlight.

Would you recommend this over an OLED? or is this a case of you get what you pay for? In which case is a very good tv for a good price. I am an average TV user and thinking if I should get this or an OLED?

No Way, and OLED TV is far superior than this TV, hence the price difference. If you have the money then definitely go for an OLED but as you say your an average user you better off with this as I could guess you won't be bothered by the difference in black levels of the TV's.

Is this TV any good? Got my eye on the 65" but not seen it in person.

Would be good to hear from someone who has it. Mine is being delivered tomorrow. The Which? review says it's an excellent TV. This is the bottom line of their review:
"Should I buy it?
Yes. It may be a little pricier than your average set, but you get what you pay for. Whether this is your first smart TV or you're an AV enthusiast, you'll find this TV has everything you could ask for."

I owned the 49" inch model of this TV and to be honest I hated it. I don't understand the tech jargons like 10bit, Dolby, IPS and RBGW but this TV is overpriced for what you get. The screen brightness is too low. I was struggling to enjoy hardly anything I watched. Despite turning off all eco settings the screen was constantly adjusting itself which was annoying. The colours were average too. The sound is mediocre despite claiming to have an integrated sound bar. I'm glad I got rid of it.

This is very tempting, been waiting for a true 10-bit screen around this size and price. Does anyone know if this model supports 5.1 Dolby/DTS optical passthrough?

better off going for a 8bit RGB panel tv than this.
