No, its really not, The B6/C6/E6 are virtually the same set, apart from a different chipset in the B6 and no 3D on the B6. Apart from that the differences if any are minor at most. Ive not seen that mentioned once on the threads on AVF, and they know there stuff.

He mentions that from a test in November 16", all the sets have had many firmware updates since then and Im pretty sure the B6 had a firmware update that improved a lot in the picture.

from HDTVtest review verdict:

Being a self-emissive display, the LG OLED55B6V already delivers some of the best SDR (standard dynamic range) images on the market thanks to true blacks, vibrant colours and wide viewing angles. But the latest firmware upgrade has truly enhanced the set’s HDR performance: PQ EOTF tracking was more accurate; shadow and highlight details were better preserved (once the correct settings were applied); and 24fps frame skipping from 4K Blu-ray playback had been fixed.

*Think the was before his video actually, but still the HDR differences are minor and I doubt even noticeable.

Guys, 55B7 looking quite tempting now it's popped just below £1,900. Worth holding off for a Black Friday deal? Would there likely be any offers on a set like this? Ta.

Very had a deal last week and they were going for £1700.

I saw that. If only 55in would be enough

Coming from a 105in projector setup so need it to be 65 minimum!

I'd keep an eye out for a 65 C7 or B7 for around the 2.5k mark new if I were you, better than buying last years model at £2.2k.

Search OLED on HUKD every now and then for the deals, or keep an eye on the OLED Price thread over at the AV Forums.

Yeah, I initially set myself a 2k budget so wouldn't want to go that high. I'm in no rush now, will give it a few months and see what drops.

All you lot with a 2016 LG oled, may worth signing this petition for implementing Atmos and DD+ passthrough over HDMI ARC.

Don't know if I'll ever need it, or use it, but signed anyway.

use TV4K10 to get a 55" B7 for £1700 or a 65 for £2500 on ao.com

Good price but only 1 year warranty I think with AO? You can get it from Curry’s for 70 quid more than that atm with 5 Year’s.

HungryHippos · 24 Sep 2017 at 22:56

Yeah I'd go with the 5 year warranty for such an expensive item myself for a bit more cash.

Where's is available from Currys at £1770? Best I can find is £1,879 with £200 off soundbar and 6 months Netflix Premium.

There's a new code that still works I'll try and source it.

2 weeks ago I managed to bag myself a 65 inch C6 from Currys with 5 year warranty, it was an in store only clearance price of £1999 which I found out about on a discount site - they only had the display model left which they sold to me for £1899. I was pushing for more, but they wouldn't budge further.

Overall though - I'm extremely chuffed with it for that price! Slightly wary with it being ex-display on vivid mode for the majority of it's life, but no issues discovered at all as of yet. Picture is fantastic in every way moving up from a 50UT50 Panasonic Plasma. 1 thing I'm not convinced on for anybody buying from Currys - they don't seem to supply any documentation detailing the 5 year warranty. Having googled, this is a common issue which I will be following up with them.

hornetstinger · 26 Sep 2017 at 12:46

I wouldn't have bought ex-display, or from that company.

joewm18 · 26 Sep 2017 at 12:52

I wouldn't usually either. But I couldn't ignore the price which made it worth a punt. No regrets - yet.

Chris1712 · 26 Sep 2017 at 13:23

There's a 65b6 ex-display in Trowbridge, but It has screen burn which I'm not sure you'd get rid of

. Shame as it's very cheap.

Good price on the 55 oleds:

Got a C7 arriving today £1699 from currys - using the £100 off TV code LSTV100A (also used ~£50 amex points), are people on this thread really paying more for the 6 series than the 7?
