The LG OLED55B7V has dropped another £100 on Richer to £2399. Think I'll bite at £2000.

Please don't tempt me!

Bit too much for me, £1500 is my max for a TV.

Robzere31 · 17 Jul 2017 at 21:30

Well I've had my current TV for nearly 9 years so its served me well.

I'll try with deblur 1 and let you know. 2/3 and 10 are usually ok for me, but I've noticed some annoyances in some things that I'd like to remove (may have just been the official plex app though, complete dog)

Dejudder 2/3 gives unnatural motion. I just dropped a little bit of trumotion 1/1 in as a compromise. The panning shots are what get me but a lot of that is 24p being sent to the fast response oled. I did see a youtube video that panned and was perfect so source matters.

appears to late , taken from thread on avforums :-

"Phoned TotalDigital this morning and they stated there are no further deals planned at the moment for the B7 as they had sold all the stock they held. No plans on deals for the E7 either." E7 was at 2500 on there. For best prices look in tv section on avforum oled then oled then oled price changes thread to keep up to date with best deals from savy users.

I would post link but not sure if allowed.

I think costco is @ £2200 for b7

I just read that thread on AVForums and there seemed to be a couple of people inventing the link but the actual one has disappeared. The page title showed

LG OLED55B7V OLED TV 4K Ultra HD 55 Freeview HD Smart webOS USB 55B7V Supreme image quality [OLED55B7V] - £1,999.00 : Total Digital - The Home of Audio Visual Entertainment

but with 12 months warranty these were refurb not new. The new warranty is 5 years. It also says John Lewis do not price match with Total Digital on the thread.

They did but not from web url , from other users I noticed they had to input address of business for price match. Where does it say there refurb ? as far as aware there brand new haven't seen any mention of refurb anywhere of thread but possible im blind

As far as aware they were cheaper because only 12 month warranty.

Costco I haven't seen online only in store , but with 90 day no quibble and 5 year warranty one would have no issues collecting from store as opposed to dsr

If you look at Total Digital other refurbs/ex display are 12 months warranty. Brand new is 5 years warranty. Therefore they were refurbs or even ex display

fenchu · 18 Jul 2017 at 19:28

I wouldent assume that , if they were refurbs people would have mentioned on avforum as most are ocd on there ...... but saying that people were price matching with JL so guessing no one actually bought from there and using for price match so what you say is very much possible. Can all be confirmed with phone call

Will Gill · 19 Jul 2017 at 08:20

I just got one too, can confirm with pretty much everyone else here, they are really rather nice!

So seeing as my 58" Panasonic tv has been damaged beyond repair, using my old 46" plasma for time being.

I'm a bit torn whether to get another 58" Panasonic 902 series tv or this time get an lg oled. Main issue is that I'll lose the extra 3 inches that my Panasonic had compared to the 55" oled screen.

Not sure if I should get the e6 or b6 model, insurance company is sending me out a cheque for a replacement tv. Original Panasonic tv that I had was £1950 last year so I have £1950 to spend on a new TV set.

VincentHanna · 22 Jul 2017 at 08:57

If you like 3D get an E6

If, like me, you think it's a dead format and really not that great, get the B6.

3D I'm not so bothered about although I have a 3D blu ray player and a few 3D movies but don't use it.

B6 is at a good price right now, E6 is about £500 more expensive.

Not relevant to the model of TV, but I've just seen the Sony A1 OLED in John Lewis...so much want!

And so much money as well

. Been seeing quite a few of their ads on tv but yet to see one in the flesh. Will have to take a trip to JL or richer sounds and see if they have one on display.

Folks picked the last one up from Currys earlier today, ex display model. Popped round to help them set it up and it's got image retention or burn from the demo being constantly run on it, currently letting it run the LG clear image thing for a hour to see if it clears it up if not be going back tomorrow.

Shame as I tried some HDR Netflix and damn that looks so good.

Glanza · 23 Jul 2017 at 12:10

Still had it this morning, took it back and got a refund. Can't find any in stock elsewhere looks like waiting for this years to drop in price and pick one up then.

When I first got this, I didn't feel the difference compared to my old 1080 samsung was enough. Had a bit of buyers remorse.
I gave the samsung to family earlier in the week, and was really shocked at just how bad it was in comparison!

Buyers remorse completely gone.
