OLED on a budget

[shep1001]

Its time for a new TV, my old (7 years) Panasonic plasma whilst still good and working fine, is a bit of a behemoth to be putting it on an internal wall of the new house + I don't want to do the job twice as a different TV is likely to mount differently.

OLED appear to be the latest tech but are expensive, if I am honest more than I would like to pay as I had budgeted about 2K. LG have a OLED on discount at John Lewis LG OLED55B6V which is the right size at 55" & appears to get good solid reviews but I am guessing is last years model hence the £400 discount. It's currently £1500 inc a 5 year warranty.

Assuming I stay with OLED tech, would this be a 'poorer' choice than waiting & upping my budget? to the latest models, has OLED tech moved on significantly enough since this model was introduced making it outdated and inferior to LCD/LED models from the various brands at a similar price point?.

Didn't go for the LG OLED panel in the end, opted for the Panasonic 58DX902B not quite as sexy thin but it just looked better with bright colours, very little in it on cost, was £100 cheaper in JL inc a 5yr warranty. There was also an offer for a Panasonic 4K dvd player & sound bar for £99 each which will do in the interim as I need funds to finish the house off at the moment.
