Anyone know if a 50inch oled is going to be brought out by anyone? I can't physically fit anything bigger...

I believe currently the reason why they are 55" and up has to do with how the sheet of OLED is cut during the manufacturing process

I think LG are the only company currently producing OLED but they supply to other manufactures like panasonic and sony also.

I already am, don't have any HD source other than a PS4 at the minute though, SD on freeview looks horrible though, lol, currently watching The Dark Knight on Bluray.

Can anyone recommend a low profile wall mount for this

Currently I have string wall mount but I don't think it's compatible.

How? Who is selling the 55" for £1500? I presume this is the 55B6V model?

Not everyone getting the price match though.

Ok thanks.

only one left in stock, watch JL delay the price match replies on this.

Good that a few stores are having a random price drop here and there.

Nexus18 · 2 Jan 2017 at 17:20

They have to reply within 24 hours from when the request is made so here's hoping that price/stock doesn't change before then

Having a read over on other forums, it seems like only a very small handful are getting success

Successful price matches to this Sevenoaks in-store deal seem about 50/50 on AV Forums. I'm staggered that JL have price matched this at all really, given my previous experiences with their excuses for avoiding it and since this smacks of a return to me.

Seems you have to order at one minute to midnight on the eve of the second coming in order to be successful with JL though.

rdb2012 · 2 Jan 2017 at 17:26

They replied to my request within an hour or two.

Ordered mine at £1750, and they said they will refund me the difference if I decide to keep

I am happy

Can anyone recommend a hard drive to use with this tv to enable the record function?

Nexus18 · 3 Jan 2017 at 11:17

Well my price match was declined and I see that seven oaks have updated their site to show collection only now...

Ah well, it won't be long until the price for the 55B6V drops to £1500 anyway, possibly even less with CES and a whole bunch of new TVs around the corner + I'm curious to see Panasonic's and Sony's OLED offerings, have always preferred them for TV's.
