55" Recommendations

[FreeStream]

Spent the best part of yesterday/today looking around the internet but I am generally non the wiser.

Size is probably 55" (certainly no larger) after looking at JL today - 42" currently.
Definitely not curved.
Both the HDR standards required (I.e. REC2020 and Dolby Vision?)
Will eventually be mated with a 4K PC to do some casual gaming on/Plex.

Looking to spend ~£1.2k in the next 6 months.

Looked at the UE55MU8000 in JL today, with £200 off comes to £1399, but Richer Sounds have a OLED55B6V clearance for £1299.

However, both really more than I'm prepared to pay (Esp with £200 for a 4K Blu-Ray player) + 4K Blurays taking it up to £1500 which when the last TV was £450 is quite a bit more already.

I'm prepared to wait (especially as 4K content is early days) for a good deal, but what deals should I be looking for?

Many Thanks.

In a similar boat myself and funnily enough, I'd literally just been looking at the LG OLED55B6V and that was the conclusion I had reached but I was looking for more opinions.

That said, it seems finding anywhere with one in stock at a decent price (under £1500) is very difficult.

Richer Sounds has a few open box/few new in Liverpool and London for £1485.

*SNIP*

Dolby Vision isn't that important - I just don't want to be in position two/three years down the line that a Blu-Ray I buy is Dolby Vision only, that would be frustrating...

There are a few UE55KS7000 floating about - none of them appear to be new.

If I were to limit it to this year's crop (So I can get the 5/6 year warranties out of JL/RS) what would I be looking at?

Many Thanks!

Yeah you won't be in that position, Dolby Vision is never going to be the primary standard. That's HDR10 and eventually HDR10+, Dolby Vision will just be an extra (and even then, depends how many people are willing to pony up to support it and create content with it).

You really only have the options i put before mate in your price range. The options for Ultra HD Premium Certified TVs or ones that meet the spec are pretty small..

Cheapest i can see the KS7000 new is £999.99 at Reliant Direct. Not purchased from them before.

What's replaced the KS7000? Or is it a case that they've pushed the price up but essentially it's the same? Might go second hand if cheap enough.

Edit: It seems it is the ridiculously expensive Q series with the QLED panels *sigh*.

I'll also have a look at the B7V if I have to wait plus I'll also look at the B6V reviews

Thanks
