Do you want to take a 2.5 k gamble :thinking:

As far a can tell its a total lottery ,I’ve heard of People Send 3 or 4 back on the bounce

Went to John Lewis today and was looking at both 65 inch LG B7 vs Sony xe9305 and wow the LG OLED is just night and day difference. The Sony was brighter but colours didn't pop as much and blacks and viewing angle wasn't as good. For an led TV the Sony was the best on display though part from zd9. Tough call to make to be honest with you. It's a gamble!

Just bought this at £1523 (using both the code listed and some discounted store vouchers via work's reward scheme).. so thanks for deal folks!

They would say they ,customers say other wise and they won’t cover it

LG says it's not a problem: lg.com/us/…ity
(in which case if there is a problem, one would expect the warranty to cover it)

Same as me , so worrying that your spend that much and could possibly have a logo stuck on the screen and there’s nothing you can do

Nope, still working. Don't copy and paste.

Codes stopped?

funnily enough i was about to pull the trigger on this very set before seeing this deal. from what ive read & been told it’s about as good as you’ll get to OLED without paying OLED money, and it looked superb in store next to a sony OLED they had..... but it’s knowing that for another £300 you could have the real deal with this LG thats thrown a spanner in the works for me.

Whilst a a very capable set, I wouldn’t say it performs just as well at all. The price reflects that.

So close to biting but need a good quality bluray player also. Any chances of a package deal out there?

I don’t mean to knock the deal.

But this apparently performs just as well. I’ve seen them side by side in currys and seems allot brighter.

My wife has a tendency to pause the TV and go off and chat on the phone for a few hours. Would that kill this sort of TV?

i’m with soap_box. please someone persuade me and convince me it won’t be cheaper to wait for black friday! :joy:

Not sure any TV comes with a wall mount

look on ebay and amazon , you can get cheap good quality ones from either and one is holding up my C7 now

good luck

You're right. My mistake - it's the E6 I'm keeping my eye on price wise.

HI
Does this have a wall mount with it, or do you need to buy a wall mount ?
If I need to buy, is there a certain model needed ?

Apologies for the dumb questions, never wall mounted a TV before, so just checking before purchasing
Cheers

Hmm thats a shane their policy has changed as I claimed screen burn on a LG LCD with RS and they swapped it over with a new TV - that was 2 years ago

I want one, I'm thinking about getting one today, but it's so... so much money for TV. It can't really be that good...

Can it?

Torn between this and the Sony 55A1 which I can get for £2100.
Apparently the LG's a brighter set, with a quick response time and a better interface.. but the Sony has an incredible picture and processing etc.

What would the general consensus be then folks? The difference is obviously £500, but that's nothing over the course of ten years or so.

Both issues were fixed with a firmware update. The video even states this in the description.

There are some differences though. The B7 has better near black performance and is brighter for HDR. It also supports 120hz refresh at 1080p and sligtly lower input lag for gaming.

Really all things you would expect from a newer model. I've had a B6 for quite some time that i paid around this price for and i've been really happy with it.

I'm not a gamer and that looks like a FW issue that is easily rectified by stepping back and waiting for a newer update.

So yeah, MY set is flawless for MY needs :wink:

I understand that you've spent a large amount of money on your TV and you're very precious about it but the B6 is far from flawless...

Input lag in HDR modes and Screen Tearing are 2 of the main issues.

It's a shame it's not OLED level quality. I have contacted John Lewis and Costco and they have said it is covered under their warranty however Richer Sounds said it's not and you can go through your home insurance so it's reassuring to know a few companies do cover it in their warranties. Looks like I will be biting the OLED hype come black Friday.

The sound bar with the bracket becomes the stand

I think there is a £100 off if you buy it with the TV. I thought the bracket was for it was raised and on a wall bracket, I want to use it on a TV stand.

Samsung offers a 10 year screen warranty for screen burn on the QLED

Huh?! My B6 has performed flawlessly.

I also own the 2016 C6 OLED with 3D and I actually compared it the the newer 2017 models , I found the 2017 model slightly better with dark detail and a bit brighter in hdr with less noise , but to be honest differences were only minor in my opinion and not worth me sacrificing the truly awesome 3D capabilities on my c6 , heat added nevertheless

Has the B7 ironed out all the problems that the B6 had??

Hot, got the 2016 version and i am over the moon with it. Marco Polo on netflix in 4K dolby vision is like :dizzy_face:

No 3D on that one either. I you want 3D it will be last years C6 or E6.

Hey - yeah the LG SJ8 sound bar slots nicely in place. Though it's currently going for £499 and was £250 at John Lewis a month or so ago. I would hold off until it's reduced again.

Another thing to consider is that it needs the LG T8 bracket to connect to the sound bar and Curry's are charging something ridiculous for it. However, I've heard that if you go in store and ask them to throw it in for free then they will go for it.

Anyone know if the soundbar slots in neatly with either the B7 or C7. I seen one in store and it looked like it was just placed in front of the TV. I want it in a TV stand with the LG soundbar slotted in with the TV as best as possible.

I heard many people have been suffering this with sky news, BBC news, cnn etc basically channels with bright statistics logos cause screen burn in and LG state it's not covered under warranty. So now I'm really considering sticking to led TV as at least I know I'm safe here and settle for less deeper blacks. It's a compromise I'm willing to make spending that kind of money. Such a shame :(... I'm looking at the Sony xe9305 65inch now as the alternative.

The code originally appeared on an Avios promotion, if you get asked by the Currys telesales team. I had bought the set with a previous discount code (LSTV100A - £100 off) last week and managed yesterday to get them to refund the difference to the new code under their own price promise.

I also phoned up Currys and they said they won't match the price in store

Cheers for posting this, got the c7 yesterday! Now to wait until Thursday delivery ☺

is it possible to save contets from freest? Do i need usb?

Got this last week from Currys at £1699. It’s amazeballs, end of.

I have owned a BenQ xl2420t 120HZ monitor since the early early days when they were £400 for 24".

I do get competitive in Halo, Fifa online. Division 1, highest rank in Halo matchmaking... but I can only play on that level on the BenQ. Even though these games are 60fps, the monitors response is what I care about and it is instant, like a CRT. On my television (Samsung UE55D7000) I can't keep up. I don't know if 21ms will be good enough on that basis? I have never tried CS:GO or any of these insane PC shooters really - I am guessing that they are a whole level above it.

I do also have a great PC setup with a 980TI powering 4K monitor, or the BenQ at a smooth 120fps. Honestly, I like console games though. Fuck the master race. Yeah, it's more competitive with kb+mouse, high FPS, higher resolutions but consoles still kick ass in their own way.

Richer sounds priced matched for me... feel much more secure with a 6yr warranty via richer sounds than currys! I’ve tried to return a faulty tv before and it was an absolute nightmare! only wanted to give me credit and would not replace tv with a like for like model, only one for the same price. After a heated argument I got a full refund... Anyone else thinking about ordering see if your local richer sounds will price match! You’ll be getting a much better deal!

I used the code instore on sat . Guy went away with the code and said he will price match it

ORDERED!

tried now and says Sorry! That promotional code is not valid.

still working just tested

code doesn't work anymore

I went to store yesterday and guy said said that can't apply online code. So, my advise - do it online. However, if you want an extra 1 year warranty Richer Sounds happy to match that price after discound in store.

Can someone confirm Currys will accept this code instore? Always go down customer services route but they always say it’s online only.

Looking for a new 4k TV for the Xbox one X would this be the best option ? I was looking for a 42inch but 55inch should be ok for gaming I suppose.

Anyone have any recommendations on the best gaming TV or a cheaper type ?

LG has a better interface, less cumbersome and much better privacy. The Samsung will probably blow up like their washing machines and mobile phones.

If you're on about true competitive gaming like CS:GO then no that would be a very high refresh monitor. Standard stuff like multiplayer call of duty, battlefront, overwatch? Easily.

PS4 Pro looks great, a PC with a powerful graphics card looks amazing.

So it is an inability to fine tune your sound bar that is the issue?

How is it calibrated? I place a microphone at various points around my viewing/listening position and the receiver sends a pulse to measure the correct distance from each speaker to where my ears are positioned.

Never been tempted to experiment with a sound bar as I've always considered them to be a poor altermative to 5.1.2 Atmos, which sounds pretty amazing, but understand the temptation if space is an issue.

Hope you manage to get the issue resolved so you can enjoy your awesome TV.

The speed of sound at sea level = 340.29 m / s. That means that sound travels 0.34029m in 1ms. I sit 1.1m away from the sound bar. That's 3.23ms. My sound bar works in increments of 10ms, so it'd be pretty difficult to compensate for that. Anyway, the problem seems to be that the sound is ahead of the video, so I'd need to set a negative adjustment.

thanks mate! that is awesome low input lag... I thought there'd be a chance this newer OLED tech was good at some things (e.g. blacks, colour vibrancy) but compromising in other departments... but apparently not. Also see it is around 21ms with HDR. Great.

I wonder if the "game mode" option is easy to toggle on/off? I use a samsung UE55D7000 and it is buried in the menus.

If this TV gets cheaper over black friday I'll get it. Upgrade from the UE55D7000 which is now 5+ years old.

The Samsung was a flagship set but it's ageing.

Reasons to upgrade for me;

4K
Smart TV features (slow/limited on the Samsung)
HDR
Samsung has around 40ms input lag so I never really play games on it

^ justifies it 100x over.

Do you think this TV is the top option for someone who wants maximum picture quality but also wants to do competitive gaming? Is the timing right?

The person I live with doesn't care to upgrade TV more than once every 5-10 years, whereas I am a total technology freak. I would upgrade every year and budget over £2000 selling last years model on to recover. Because it's a shared living room we need to buy together, so that never happens.

One persistent argument is "wait until next year" but now and then with tech there is a sweet spot to invest. There is a breakthrough in performance and the costs. Is this the case with this television, or maybe that was the case last year? or maybe it is due to be obliterated next year?

You need to set the listening distance so the sound hits your ears at the correct time as you see the lip movement. Isn't that the definition of lip sync?

You are correct, you can calibrate the listening distance - horizontal and vertical, however I'm not sure what that has to do with lip syncing.

Never owned a soundbar but every Receiver I've had, currently a Denon AVR2300, needs calibrating to set the correct listening distance.
Is this not the case with a sound bar?

Are you sure it's a sound bar issue? I'm pretty sure it's a TV issue. A few other people have also reported the same issue. See here: avforums.com/thr…74/

Hopefully it will be resolved through a firmware update.

YOU ARE POOR.

Your negative is either a sound bar or set up issue so not fair stating it's an issue with the TV.

Guessing that's standard warranty so a worse deal.

Is this geniuine price, or supplier?

He obviously did, there is no difference except the stand and frame. The panel is the same with no extras.

Amazing bit of kit, had it delivered a couple of days ago. Awesome for PS4 Pro.

It's got rave reviews all round although I wouldn't take too much notice of Which? as the only difference between the C7 and B7 is the stand so not sure how that's equates to a 2% difference in score.

It was the c6 model I got mate not c7. My mistake.

Made a mistake it's the c6 model I got with the 100 pound off. Not got receipt with me but got email.

This is a great deal. I picked it up for £1779 a few weeks ago. The quality and viewing angle is awesome, and it looks fantastic on everything.

Do you mind sharing the receipt? Maybe with that we can get the same deal in store. Thanks!

I always go for the latest oled lg tv every year just to test the tv out, I sell the previous model. Normally there's not much difference in picture quality or sound, but I immediately notices a significant improvement with picture and sound, the increased brightness does make a difference and the new atmos speakers also make a huge difference, I feel like it has way more vibrant colours too, main use for the tv is netflix and bluray movies, cant wait to test 4k blu ray. Also yes I will probably get the B8 next year, unless i see the E8 on sale. 3D is overrated as amazing as it is, I watched maybe two 3d movies on my older lg oled but i will take the improved picture quality over 3d any day. Especially since 3d always reduces the colour. Other than that you're getting 6 months of netflix. But honestly if you wont be using a soundbar, or home cinema the B7 is a clear winner for the crazy atmos speakers,e.g in one of the movie scenes it was raining and it literally felt like it was raining around me :P

My uni workplace has a scheme which offers discounted Currys voucher.
I understand that I have to top up a card with enough cash to cover the purchase (which arrives in the post), but I'm not sure if I can pay for the TV online or do I have to purchase instore?
Can some one enlighten me please?

I bought the 65" from Richer Sounds a couple of weeks ago. I paid £2849, but they price matched it with Currys a couple of days later to £2649 and then beat it by £20, so I paid £2629 in the end. I bought the LG OTW420B wall mount and it's a solid piece of kit. I've mounted mine on the wall with four RigiFix M6 wall bolts and it's not going anywhere! I upgraded from a 55" 1080P Samsung F8000 LCD, and I'm liking the deep blacks, sharp picture and responsive UI. The only negative point so far is that I can't adjust the sound to match the picture, so I'm seeing pretty bad lip sync issues. I've got sound going through the HDMI ARC to a soundbar.

My apologies I've had a look and can't find the specific but it's c6 not c7.

Guy said there was something advertised on social media and it was on offer for this model. It was an in store ask and you get it. Store man told me about it.

10k isn't even gonna be that good of a good car unless it's second/third hand and with a family of four 3k holiday ain't gonna be paradise either...

Hence why I've got a banger and ain't been on holiday for years - but have a decent TV!!

Do you live in UK? In my home country it would be near that too... And I used to live in a third world country...

3k on week away? 10k on a car? Yep - I live in a different world

What made you change so quick? I know the B range didn't have the 3D so I guess you haven't lost that feature.
Just interested on real world difference as the 2017 range is dropping and fancy a 65inch OLED but gutted no 3D

Why we easy spend 3k on a week away 10 k on a car ,people spend 1000s on cancer sticks so what’s so bad about spending this on sumat you watch everyday

Wow that’s a quick upgrade b8 next year ?

Yeah, if they can do me a 7-series set for £1385 I'll drive down there tomorrow: they'll have a happy customer.

Someone above said he paid £1385 on Richer Sounds. How to get this Netflix discount? Thanks

Richer Sounds will price match Curry's and beat it by £20 - so it's now £1591.10 plus a further £53.94 with the Net Flix offer making it £1,537.16 plus its got a 6 year guarantee.

Just reserved mine :smile:

Charm offensive starts with her indoors tonight!! :wink:

You didn’t read it yourself by the looks of things. Please read again and please watch this.

youtu.be/3JI…Yok

I’m giving you plenty of evidence that both sets are the same except cosmetics and you’ve just said I’m wrong which is factually incorrect.

And this is the reason which would prevent me ever buying from Currys. You really need to use a John Lewis or Richer Sounds. So many horror stories in regards to Currys and the "5 year warranty"... Has anyone ever tried convincing Currys that there is a problem with banding?

You didn't read it then

Yes they do - they don't advertise it but if you ask in store you can get it - not sure about £1385 though!

Bought mine today instore at Currys for £1619

....and ask

How??? Is it just a matter of going to the store? Thanks

I clearly live in a different world!

Erm, no the difference between the B7 and C7 is what I stated. Even the review you just sent states that...

”Alternatively, if you can live with a slightly less attractive silvery frame around your picture and a less heavy duty, less opulent looking stand, you can currently save around £250 (close to $1,000 in the US) by buying an OLED55B7 instead.“

Yes they do but they can't advertise it as Curry's has exclusive deal. Go into a store and ask for one.

The C7 has lots more than that extra - see reviews here: techradar.com/rev…b7v and here techradar.com/rev…-c7

Richer sounds did sell the c6 recently

Thinking the same thing

Not to doubt you, but are you 100% sure? It sounds a lot like the 55B6V.

Richersounds don’t sell the c7v

Absolutely perfect for the 3rd Bedroom - thanks!!!!

And to confirm it was the OLED55C6V model
Edit: c6 not c7, apologies

Yeah he had 1 on display and said he had several in the back. I was gonna go for a panasonic but when he said I could try finance I thought what the hell. If its a new tv that's gonna last 10 something years why not splash out

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know, I had the LG B6 for one year, and now the B7 for one month and I can say with complete confidence there is a significant improvement in picture and sound quality, I noticed it as soon as I turned it on.

21ms is brilliant for gaming. Won't find many lower. Bring on the Xbox one x

This one 65" B7. Absolutely loving it

£1385? I'm in your neck of the woods & would bite at that price.

I got one of these last weekend from richer sounds with 100 quid off. Came to 1385 in total. Middlesborough store. 6 year guarantee with it too. It is an amazing tv I haven't seen a picture on any or tv that beats it. I prefer this tv to the cinema.

Me thinks you warranty to much.
Years ago Sennheiser cordless headphones packed up partner went to Richer Sounds in Liverpool for replacement thinking out of guaranty. They checked their records and found out was still in the two years guaranty period and bring back and replaced with new. That is good service.

QLED is the next step of Samsungs 2016 Quantum Dot technology, not OLED.

OLED emits its own light. QLED relies on the back-light panel passing light through the QLED semiconductor particles. This is similar to how LCD technology currently works.

In short, OLED is still better.

They’re decent for gaming <21ms lag, which is relatively low and decent for a TV.

Follow this link, backs it up. rtings.com/tv/…ing

Are these good for gaming? I mean competitive FPS etc? What is the best TV these days for low input lag?

The B7 & C7 are identical in picture quality. The only difference is cosmetics. C7 has a black bezel and in my opinion a nicer stand. The £1200/£700 cheaper isn’t really relevant, it’s just what Currys had set as their original RRP.

You are rite to be I’ve seen and heard some bad story’s and LG will not accept and liability as it’s in there terms as void warranty

I'll have half a dozen then ffs

Oled were first out, then Pled, now Samsung have developed it further to Qled.

So... surprised more people aren't asking, which set is better? Or is it just a different design? Because one is £1200 cheaper and one is 700 cheaper

What make sure this better than the Samsung qled? Is this a better set

Most definitely not. This is a top of the range set. They're not RGBW either :thumbsup:

Gutted I can no longer get one. Glad I didn't try display in shop for the 3D as prob be more upset.

Still happy with Samsung PNE516500 a 5hink the code is. Anyways 51inch Samsung Plasma. Good input lag but the active 3D ain't that great as it dims the screen so much.
Looking for the next wow tv but really want 3D. Just shame I missed out on the 2016 version.

If they had kept 3D I would have been tempted for a 65inch version. However can't find last year's model anyways and not willing to upgrade from a 51 plasma to 55 as don't think it would feel much of an upgrade.

Not that anyone cares about a random guy waffling after a hard night shift. But every time I see one of these deals it was either the 55 or now this year's model.

Couldn't bring myself to spending the 3.5k when I first started reading about OLED and now they removed 3D feel I have missed out as can't find 2016 LG 65 OLED anywhere :0(

Same happened to me last week on Safari worked on Chrome fine though

For some reason I can't even enter a code on the order page. Tried on mobile and computer.

I've read the Sony KD-55A1 is slightly better but that's currently £2800 making it a no brainer to get the LG. Heat added.

Cracking deal just ordered with a further 8% off via works reward scheme

Better input lag, WEB OS 3.5, Active HDR, apparently *slightly* better black and contrast performance. Not enough for me to upgrade.
Will wait for 2018 lineup. I also have a massive 3D library which in conjunction with the C6, gives the best 3D image to date on any set.

Which TV did you buy?

Anyone know the difference in quality from this to TV the C6V I purchased last year? Is there much in it?

Are there any catches with the 5 year Currys guarantee (or the 6 year Richer Sounds assuming they would price match)?

It's a bit of a pain, but what I tend to do with my plasma if I'm pausing anything for a bit, is put it on standby. Spending that much on a TV, I wouldn't want to do anything to mess it up!

I'm hugely concerned with burn in issue as I pause alot on my sky TV :thinking:

Friend has one, it’s insane.

I have a Samsung 8 series curved - oled LG is a completely different league (sadly for me)

Just called them up and am getting a further £80 sent back to me under the price match promise from the last deal on here a week or so ago

Let's see how that goes , hopefully Currys are good on there word

Worth a try if you bought it then too

PS thanks as ever Chanchi

Are they 8 bit panels ?

Just bought a 65" from richer sounds yesterday. Brilliant picture quality. This is coming from a Sony 4k tv which unfortunately died. Couldn't be happier. Will be playing more today with settings etc

This Tele is 1439 at very with code. Might be account specific

Not even in the same league. This tv all day long.

Don't get C4 ones, it tends to explode

I'm waiting on a good deal on the E7 for that very reason.

Why?

If you're very lucky, you can get £70 TCB on top of this as well.

This still works!

To bad no 3d , I have c6 .

"Sorry, that offer has now ended." - message when try to apply code

I purchased the Dx902b back in July, luckily it had a fault and I got the b7 last week as a replacement, paid the difference though.

Thank god I've saved up all my benefits this year, I'll be the envy of the estate.

They will not do 10% student discount and this code. It's either one or the other.

Has anyone tried using this code in Store

Don't know about the B7 but I've been on the B6 thread since I got mine, around 4 months, and around 99% of owners are more than happy with theirs. Only issue I've read about is FW updates which are easily resolved. Wait for the next or go back to the last.

50/50 on the B7?! I highly doubt it.

Could do with a mega deal on the 65” as I’m moving up from a 55”

You can always return it until you get that one unicorn model, but for that price I would want perfect. Just google OLED banding, tinting and burn.

Noticed this has a 5yr guarantee. Have they solved the problem of OLED displays degrading with time?

Keep seeing this tv, looks amazing and price it getting better. Cant decide between it an the samsung QE55Q7FAM. Any recommendations appreciated

If you're looking for a high end TV atm you'd be stupid to look past this deal.
OLED is all that... And more!

How did the B7 score higher than C7? Thought they were the same tv apart from the stand?

Anyone have any idea what is actually covered in the Currys warranty ?.

I need to phone Richer Sounds to find out what is and what isn't covered,

I would not like my TV repaired but a in house repairer with Currys if that is what they still do,

My C6 is only covered for 1 year with the manufacturers warranty and the the next 5 years with Richer sounds,

When you register the TV they try to sell you their insurance from Domestic and General, even thought the number was in the box with the TV,

They offer a 2 year cover including accidental damage which is not covered by the manufacturers warranty, for £140.40,

but if you don't take it out straight away the price will go up if you wait for a year, so you don't have 2 policies running in the same year,

But they want you to take it out to run in tandem with the manufacturers warranty,

With warranty you need to make sure you know what is covered,

Are parts & labour covered,

is it repaired by LG,

Will they replace the TV like for like,

Will they cover screen burn.

Currys always tell me you can’t use these codes in store

I have an extra 6.5% off too, shall I bite or wait to black Friday.......hmm

Hot! Do you think we could get this code applied instore, and then student discount on top? So £1457.19 at the till?

Will TCB work on this?

You should add the C7 to the description to OP. HEAT!

Went for the C7, just can't be bothered waiting any longer for it to drop more.

Tried Top Cash Back but don't expect it to work because I used a voucher code.

Cheers OP

They won’t apply student discount on top of the 10% off code in-store. walked out very disappointed :angry: don’t waste your time!

Jesus this is mega hot

Where’s the code from? Can’t see it advertised online so don’t think they’ll honour it in Store

Need a tv for my popcorn, cheers chichi :grin:

Nice’ out of my reach- I’m still using a black and white portable :disappointed:

Still’ I can dream of one of these :raised_hand:

Heat added

great price. how long till the code expires?

Heat added :smile:

:thumbsup:

Tele so expensive :astonished: Hope there would be some glitch :stuck_out_tongue:

I really do hope this gets to £1500 on Black Friday :thumbsup:

Use code LSTV10A to reduce price to £1619.10
