To those using a soundbar with the LG OLED tvs, which one do you have? Would you recommend it?

Samsung HW-MS650, I owned it before I got the TV more recently but it suits it perfectly. I've got the wireless rear speakers too as they were part of the deal I got, you can add a wireless sub as well but the bass from the soundbar itself isn't bad and I live in a flat so I don't need a lot of bass anyway. Check out HotUKDeals, there are some good offers on it at the moment.
 
I've got a Q Acoustics M4 soundbar, which I purchased about three years ago when I got the previous TV. It's still a really good soundbar and in a semi-detached house it goes as loud as I'd want it to without annoying the neighbours, and the actual sound quality is really top notch. It's annoying it doesn't have HDMI because I can't control it with the LG remote, but I can control the volume with my Sky remote so that works fine. When Dolby Atmos soundbars are more affordable I might think about replacing it, but until then it does what I need it to do.

Yeah I've seen the HW-MS650 come up quite frequently near the top of lists for best soundbars. I've heard it's fairly tall and can block a small part of the TV? I won't be having my B7 wall mounted so will they obscure any of the screen?

I am not sure about this to be honest I do have a 5 year warranty with Curry's but I am not sure it's worth the hassle and time.. I suppose there is no harm in trying.

I think should have a good case.
along the lines - they/lg have clearly recognised burn in is a problems, by modifying subsequent years panels to make red pixel larger
your set has proven to be part of the 2016 production more susceptible to the problem .... so fix my tv under terms of consumer rights act .
a well crafted letter, pictures of the problem etc. ... even taking the set to them, after confirming thats Ok and orgainising a loaner .. shows you're serious.

It comes with feet that can be screwed in to the bottom to raise it up, apparently so that it can sit flush with the stands on newer Samsung TVs. With them on I did find it obscured the bottom edge of the B7, but no such issue after removing them. :)
 
Think I have to alter some of my earlier comments... Ordered a 65" B7 last week and having it delivered next week.

Moving into our new house in October pushed me/us to go for it now as we didn't want to miss out on getting one before they ran out of stock. Ultimately I want to watch my films in the best possible way and although I still think there is a certain amount of babysitting I'll have to do with the B7, the gains I'd get outweigh the negatives.

The only sensible precautions you need to take are to make sure you don't leave the TV on one of the news channels for hours and hours on end, try not to play games with a bright, static hud for hours at a time as well (Fifa is known as a particular culprit), don't have the OLED light up at anywhere close to 100 unless you're watching HDR content (in which case it defaults to 100), and don't turn off the pixel refresher and screen shift options. From what I've read burn-in is only a real risk if you're someone who watches news or plays certain games for 10+ hours a day.
