The Black Friday 17 Thread! - pls make sure you understand competitor rules

I've got the LG 49UH770V in my bedroom, a slightly newer version of the one you have? A really underrated TV!

nope not newer than mine. just bigger and slightly different electronics driving the same panel.

mine is a UH as well (so same year) UJ is the newer version to both of ours. i imagine the 2018 model will be called UK.

770V is the model within the year. mine is a 750V because that was the highest they do in 43" and I can't fit anything bigger in the space it was going in. got a 50" and a 55" in other rooms. this tv is used rarely in comparison.
 
Don't Nest charge a monthly fee for it though on top of the purchase price?

only if you want saving to the cloud on their CCTV cameras.

everything else is free. so doorbell, nest, smoke alarms, etc have zero monthly or yearly fees. it's the cameras as you need to pay for the 24/7 monitoring and cloud storage for the past 10-30 days depending on the package.

so you could have say 6 cameras and it stores all of them 24/7 content for 10 days for £80 a year. the electricity costs on a DVR plus maintenance of fresh hard drives, etc every couple of years that offers that amount of storage would probably break even. plus then you have the risk of it could be stolen or smashed up in a robbery making the whole system useless.
 
OLED TVs have the best viewing angles of all the TV screen types on the market! It's LED that have the worst. The Input lag is also very low on OLEDs, not the absolute best but certainly very low. OLED TVs are significantly superior to LED TVs, the cost is the only real negative. When I was looking for TVs, this time last year, there was an obvious winner for picture quality alone.
Ah - my mistake in the viewing angle. Must have confused that with phone reviews, as the iPhone X has a relatively poor viewing angle and an OLED screen.

There was, IIRC, no OLED that had HDR and low input lag available under £1,500 - which was out of my budget anyway.

Very happy with my compromise :)

It has been below for a little while now and the C7 just over...

My bite point is £1200 I think, doubt a C7 will go for that but yep, fingers crossed!

ah, I see. I don't use the bedroom TV much either, kinda wasted as Dolby Vision content, in particular looks lovely on it.

They are finally dropped to £1500 for a 55" which is great, it's just a shame that 65" TVs still carry such a premium. There was a point where the KS700 55" could be had for around £1K and the OLED was £2K so it was hard to justify the extra £1K as the KS7000 is a great TV.
 
as above wait for the nest one to launch. much more integration. it's also owned by google so you know it's going to be better.
Much more integration to what? My Ring doorbell already integrates with Alexa and my Echo devices (which I doubt Google Nest will), my Fire TV (again I doubt Nest will), Smartthings and IFTTT. I can't see what else I'd need.
 
Kind of the new l337 thing like HDR, they need to market something to try sell more new TV's. ;)

Not sure how small the LG 1080p OLED go but I know they do a 55".
 
A 1080P OLED would still **** all over 99% of LCD's for picture quality and there's still very few TV channels that are even 1080P, the majority of use for a TV today is still standard definition content.
 
I agree but you will upset some here esp one Frog who loves to boast about his £500+K of AV gear including 2-3x 70" OLED's
