Samsung QE55Q8FAM or LG OLED55B7V?

So I found them for the same price, £1499. Looking at reviews of the LG, it seems it has better blacks than the Samsung Q7F and a better refresh rate for gaming. Not many reviews of the Q8F yet.

PC world showing as having it in stock when I select home delivery.

Could try call them and see if they will match with the Curry's code, seeing how they pretty much the same company now.

already tried ordering from pcworld but it says it cannot deliver

yes agree, they have 40% additional oled production capability, and even on last years price tracking it was post black friday for best deals,
check out the price trackers, they also made this comment on the Gadget Show (although that is reliable like whathifi magazine)

Not sure why the Panasonic Oled is not also on the menu ez195b? , only reached £1800 in Black Friday, but I thought it touched £1500 earlier ?
checkout htdvtest/Vincent comparison with b/c7 - Vincent liked its tone mapping ( need to declare an interest with reliability&build of Panasonics in the family. )
Yes, no dv, but if you have good tone-mapping ? the dynamic tone mapping on the b/c7 is meant to offset the need for dv too.

What Hifi give a bad review of it's HDR capability, plus it's more expensive.

should not mention the 'w*a* H*f*' word too much on here, many, self included, have little respect for them ,but yes, Pan oled is currently more expensive.
I trust Vincents' review much more, and without being able to audition in your house, you have to trust someone.

I love Vincent's reviews and have been watching a lot of them recently. I am put off by the lack of Dolby Vision, magenta-tinted coating and stuttering in scenes with mixed film/ video text.
