TV upgrade, help me choose!

[richieboy]

I've decided to update my 6year old Samsung 40" LCD TV for something a bit bigger and more up to date and thought I'd ask you guys for some ideas. I've been looking at the LG OLED55C8, but from reading around I wonder if I'm going over the top and non-oled would be fine...here is what I am after:

- 55 inch
- Samsung or LG, mainly because the UI is very important to me, especially integrated Netflix and it's 4k content
- Used primarily for TV Freeview, Netflix and a little bit of Xbox when allowed! (Maybe 4 hours a week!)
- As thin a bezel/frame as possible and the thinner the TV the better as am going to mount to wall
- Ideally I'd like it to be available to buy from Richer Sounds or John Lewis and no more than £1700...happy for it to be less if OLED isn't necessary for me in your opinion!

I think that is about it...any help much appreciated! I know eff all about nits etc and the proper stuff you guys know about.

Cheers.

That's really useful info thanks both. Psycho - some fair points only thing I would say regarding UI being important is because my family like the ease of use, but I totally get what you're saying!

LG B8 it is

UI is important, I'd rather buy a TV now with good app support than be having to buy and use additional hardware to achieve the same thing. It was one of the reasons the LG OLED appealed to me, it supports pretty-much every streaming service out there including Now TV and has a good Spotify app too, which meant I could dump the Now TV box and Chromecast.
