I'd have been gutted to have spent £2500 on it if they hadn't!

Kids banned from watching Nickelodeon now then?

55" is £999.99, 65" £1599.99 @SonicDirect in the morning with 5y warranty, will the others follow? JL price match?

RS should and beat it by £20 I think?

JediFragger · 28 Nov 2019 at 20:08

Finally hit £999, v v nice!!! :cool:

What's the 1440p scaling like on these with PC use? I'm just wondering if it'll do until HDMI 2.1 cards are finally out, then make the switch to 4k/120hz...

To think that I got my 55" E7 for £899 2+ years ago.....

But still a superb price that B9, might be lucky to see it drop another £100 elsewhere tomorrow.

Can't speak for the newer models but scaling for all resolutions looks perfect on my E7, even 1080P looks fantastic, yet another area where TVs are far superior than monitors

Also, don't forget when you're are at the recommend viewing distance of 7+ feet, you'll be hard pressed to notice the difference between 1440 and 4k, heck even 1080P if playing games that aren't utilising HD/4k textures etc. OLED tech. and it's infinite contrast ratio works wonders for sharpness/clarity alone.

JediFragger · 28 Nov 2019 at 20:45

Yes the advantages are too hard to ignore, time again to try my B7 for size...

roysters · 28 Nov 2019 at 21:05

So tempted to get this. I also have the LG38 or Acer 43 on my list..

The only thing I don't enjoy playing on coach gaming is FPS multiplayers. Other then that I'm easy.

Good price you got it for, but glad I waited. It will do 4K 120hz and have VRR and G-Sync so will work great on consoles and PC

Going to grab one tomorrow

Yup, was a stonking deal, I considered selling it on for its RRP of £2500+ then buying the cheaper B/C 7 but cba with the faff.

Let us know what you think, pretty sure that once you see it, you aren't going to want to look at anything non OLED again

There's only so much that higher resolutions and refresh rates can do on crappy LCD panels.

You'll just wish you had got one sooner to enjoy

These are pretty much still the same price everywhere I see. £1099 and £1799. I still might bite at the £1099 price.

£999 Currys and Richer Sounds now mate, just use the code on the exact same page.

roysters · 29 Nov 2019 at 10:49

Ah nice.. cheers fella. Not sure I'd the 65" is worth the extra 679!

Yeah, a bit too much to pay for the extra imo.

roysters · 29 Nov 2019 at 11:01

I probably would at 1500. Must resist.

TNA · 29 Nov 2019 at 17:04

A heads up for anyone who would rather pay more and go for the C9. It can be had for £1179 by getting RS to price match apparently. Still not cheap enough for me to cancel my B9 order though. The difference is too small to warrant the price difference for me.

jubei · 29 Nov 2019 at 17:14

I thought only the c9 and above did 4k 120hz, I was under the impression the b9 only did 60hz. What does the c9 offer if not that?

Ayahuasca · 29 Nov 2019 at 17:33

The B9 will still do 4k 120hz, the C9 has a better picture processor but the difference it provides is questionable. Only a trained eye such as a reviewer/calibrator would likely spot the tiny differences it makes.

No, both have 120Hz panels, they each just use a different processor. Technically LG could not update the B9 and only allow the C9 to have full fat 120Hz operation via HDMI 2.1 once HDMI 2.1 GPUs arrive, but I have read in several places that they've been quoted as saying it will be supported. And when you think about it, why on earth would they put HDMI 2.1 ports on it if they had no intention of fully supporting HDMI 2.1 features??

The picture differences between the B9 and C9 are very minor... most people won't notice at all, even side by side.

Bloody hell i could have saved myself a few hundred then. I only went for the c9 as i thought it was the more future proof. Ah well, at least if i decide to go oled tv for my computer room i can get a b series.
