I'm very tempted to get this but still waiting for the 65" to be reduced around £2500 mark.

What's the difference between the two models?

The stand as far as I've read.

The C7 is only available at Curry's and has a black bezel and a nicer stand (IMO). purely cosmetic differences though, they are identical from a functional point of view.

Yep cosmetic only. I'm pondering on theses too but edging towards the E7.

I do prefer the stand on the C7. It looks alot more stable then that B7.
I'm still in 2 minds shall i get the 55 or wait for a prise drop on the 65 :thinking:

Personally the stand wasn't an issue for me as I've wall mounted it, the c stand is more appealing as it's not the standard legged stand, it also has the benefit of taking up less space on the stand so it frees up space around it and would be much easier to clean around, I couldn't see another big price drop anytime soon as it's pretty much the top of it's class and it'll probably happen when the 2018 models are shown off in January time maybe, only the Panasonic thousand series beats it on picture but for another 700+ quid with less features in other departments it wasn't worth it for me.

I've been lookig at oled and reading up on them since day one and these have dropped nicely with my work discount I could pay £1600 BUT
I've got high end Panasonic 2014 plasma and my main reasons for not going for one yet are .
4k content (discs) very expensive
Will I notice and difference in the resolution at a distance there's not any real difference
Motion not as good
Banding is a problem
I just feel this tech is still to early to jump on
Don't want to spend that money and think wow this motion is worse than a plasma :persevere:

I've just upgraded to a B7 from a Panasonic plasma (vt30) and, while you have spend a bit setting them up (as Plasmas) these OLEDs are better all round. Banding is not a problem at all (Plasma was much worse) and motion is great - these are 120Hz screens. The main draw is HDR that just blows away everything else for colour depth and black levels (Plasma included). It's true that there aren't many 4k discs (and they're expensive) but Netflix 4K in Dolby vision (the built in Netflix app does this very well) is superb and will do fine until discs and players get cheaper (and more support Dolby Vision). I have to say that 4k is nothing like as pronounced a difference as HDR. These are a real upgrade all round.

My St60 died on me a few weeks ago :disappointed: I wanted to upgrade to a newer 4k tele anyway, but it would have been later in the year when my new Xbox one x arrives :smile: .. It's a pain in the **** looking for the right one!

No way mine touch wood as been fine I got it in 2014 ,great tv though after seeing these oled it looks so dark compared to how bright the lg b7 is
I've looked for about a year and the b6 was the best option which now is b7 or the Panasonic oled is £2300 now
My wife would kill me if I paid that much for a tv

Yea it was all fine, then all of a sudden turned it self off... 7 blinks. Got a local repair place to check it (changed the circuit boards etc...) to no avail. I was pretty gutted, got it in 2014 too and tbh got some good use out of it, just wasn't expecting it to stop working.
I think my limit is £1500, hopefully I'll pick up a decent one up.... Its just getting your head around all the numbers and the 10 bit argument lol even a guy like me who is fairly clued up on new tech find it boggling at times.

I was in the same waiting boat ashmac but was forced to take the plunge as I wanted perfect 3D so I went for the C6. I also came from Plasma. Banding is a none issue. I may be lucky, but my panel is perfect. If it wasn't perfect, I'd just simply return. I don't think you are also going to watch a 5% test slide unless you are looking for banding. I don't have any issues with respect to motion either. When watching football, the ball is always sharp and there is never issues with blur when it is kicked fast. If I was nit picking, there is a bit of judder when panning on things in the far background but I also used to get this on the plasma, (I compared this side by side.) I'd say SD content is a touch more detailed on the Plasma but really, the colour and contrast of the OLED far outways these differences.

Holding out for the 65". Although conscious that it won't drop much more than this before the end of the year.

Picked up the 55B7 from John Lewis recently, and it's an amazing set. If prices keep going this way, then I may have to consider a second at some point!

Funny as I'm a VT20 owner and this is pretty much the only TV I've seen that seems worth the upgrade! When it drops to £1.5K I'll bite! Please Panasonic plasma keep going until then! THX mode only now being matched on these TVs!
