Might as well wait till next year, few on avforums have said that 25% off glitch happened last year as well.
2018 models could well have 4k @ 120hz with HDMI 2.1, there's never a right time to buy a TV

Hmmm so insurance company has decided to send me a cheque to replace my damaged tv, sending me a cheque for £1400.
Only problem is that the b6 oled TVs are pretty much sold out at the price point of £1300 odd.
I could go and get the same tv that I had which was damaged. But really wanted the b6 oled.
At the moment I'm using my Panasonic 46 plasma which is still a brilliant tv. And am thinking I might as well just hang onto the money and get a b7 when they invariably drop in price sometime next year.
Gahh decisions decisions :/.

I think we'll see this years models fall in price quicker than last years did, but £1400 likely won't be possible without some kind of hidden deal like the recent Curry's one till spring next year.

Try the currys deal a few of us have taken advantage of? Will cost you £200 or so out of pocket but you'll have this years model delivered tomorrow.

Deal ended on Monday Glanza, they ran out of stock of the 24" models needed to do it.

The first one mentioned I couldn't order but found another one on the site, granted they've emailed me to say they might not be able to deliver it in the 5 working day time frame and will be in touch, Hopefully can just request a refund on it.

They're both out of stock now and have been since late Monday evening, a few on avforums tried ordering and it wasn't working anymore.
You'll still get yours as you placed the order using the offer whilst it was still in stock.

If there is one bit of tech that the wife can get on board with, it's a new TV.
I've shown the wife a couple of the LG's OLED's over the last couple of days to put the seed there for Black Friday time. Can hopefully pick one up then for a decent price.

So is this B7 really that much better than the B6?
The price difference is pretty substantial. I presume this is before the B6 is older.
Edit - ignore as I've seen replies to a similar question.

No. Hardly any difference.
Soldato
Check out some of the reviews, they pretty much confirm that it's not worth the big price difference if you can still buy the B6.
Obviously this is not the case as much now because its harder to buy the B6 from a reputable seller.
So its more of a case of waiting for the price drop on the B7.
Think its meant to be a little brighter and improvements in shadow detail.
Soldato
I might be wrong but I'm sure I've seen the B6 being sold by R Sound.
For around 1.4k - tempted to go for it.

They had some ex demo or recon stock last week but it wasn't a great saving. I spent best part of a week trying to source the b6 but no one has new stock anymore, luckily got the currys deal for the b7.
Caporegime
Wouldn't touch an ex display model unless the price was ludicrously good, they've been sat playing the same demo's for months on end and OLED is susceptible to image retention, unsure if they even switch them off to standby so the comp cycles can run.

Doubt it. As it's only being sold view their online store.
Looking at it now. It may not be a b6. The title reads -
LG 55 INCH OLED

If you're on about this model: https://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/lg/55-inch-oled/lg-oled55c6v it's the C6V which is curved.
Soldato
Ahhhh yes that's the one.
Curved TVs still a thing?

Apparently the curve on the C6 is not that big like other curved sets, If Im not mistaken it has 3D as well which is supposed to be very good on the C6.
If that's a new set in that link that's a good price.

Will check them out before heading back to London.
