LG OLED Signature TV's - pricing

[MOBB]

I'm after a 65" TV, and up until yesterday I had decided on a flat Samsung 8000 series which are currently £2.5k or so.

Then I stupidly looked at the new LG OLED signature range and just wow - so I wont be bothering with the Samsung now.

However the one I saw was £5k - try as I might, I cannot justify (in my head) that much on a TV, so how does it work with prices generally? Will it soon be £4.5k, £4.0k, £3.5k etc, or do they discontinue them before they really drop in value?

Please tell me they will be £3k in 6 months time.................

Try 2015 models if any are left?

This.

Last years top model (950V flat or 960V curved) available at Currys for £2995 for the 65".

I say 'last years' but the one I had delivered today was manufactured June 2016 and improved quality control together with firmware updates make for a stunning experience.

Just watched some NASA 4K streams from YouTube on the built in web browser and, just, WOW!

Ooh didn't realise the 950V was still available and for under £3k..................

Might treat myself, cheers.

Went for the 65" 950V in the end @ £3k from Currys

They are selling fast, I had to do a 100 mile round trip in the end as they are collection only.

Just need to get it up on the wall now.................

The LG is HDR but not Dolby Vision apparently

I'm hoping by the time that matters I will probably replace the TV anyway..................

I'm hoping I can resist an OLED for another year, as my TV is only 3 years old.

Trouble is, I keep looking at them and now they're dropping into figures starting with a 2 it's getting harder

Once a 55" OLED with HDR is sub £2k, that'll be it for me I reckon.

LG 55 inch EF950v currently £1700 in Currys

Doesn't state HDR though?

I thought that originally about the 65" one, but it is HDR but not Dolby Vision

The 65" at £3k is cheap, but the 55" at £1.7k is a bargain, but be quick, the 65"s were selling fast and I don't think there will be any more once these ones are gone.

When I was looking for the 65" one, I searched on the Currys website and kept extending the radius, ended up buying one about 50 miles away from me!

Put it up on the wall today, and wow

Better than I thought it would be, I'm very very happy
