LG OLED 65" Price

[XMT]

I have been looking at the OLED TVs for a while and settled on the 65" LG B7 2017 Model (OLED65B7V)

I seen Argos had it for 2999.00 but they had a 10% TVSAVE voucher bringing it to 2699.10

Went into the JL store and they price matched it. JL online did not.

Just incase anyone was interested.

I think for 2699.10 you could not get a better TV (especially 65") even if you spent double the money.

The Sony A1 is a significantly better TV, and it's less than double the money.

That's just your opinion like mine was, but your wrong anyway

I bought one on Sunday.

I'm not really that much into my techie tv stuff but had been in Currys a couple of weeks ago to get something for a printer and noticed big 65 inch tv's for about £1500 which I thought was (relatively) cheaper than I expected. I have a 60 inch Plasma telly in a games room that I am sure cost double that amount about 10 years ago and I guess is at least as large physically due to the heavier surrounds.

Anyhow, I went in with a view to getting one of the cheaper ones and, as a fairly casual tv watcher, didn't really expect to notice much difference between the various brands and specs but was blown away by the oled telly's. It has ment a bit of furniture re-shuffling and room planning to get the best out of it, but it's a very impressive bit of kit.

I echo the experience you had regarding my TV purchase too. I was only expecting to spend approx 1k on a TV however the OLED PQ looks incredible. I have spent the last 4 months in and out of currys and JL looking at the current crop of high end TVs and hand down for me the OLEDs look excellent.

It was then a case of narrowing down the OLED screens, for me there was minimal difference in it; yes the sony A1 does appear ever so slightly better in SOME regards but not enough to spend double (or as other posters seem to be so bloody technical: a bit under double) the cost.

Anyway I only posted regarding the matter as there is always discussion regarding JL price matching argos when it comes to the 1 year warranty etc. I thought it would help someone before Argos stopped the 10% off on all TVs for the price match.

I wont bother next time.

I'm avoiding OLED for now as the picture isn't quite as good as LED at the moment.

In what world?

I have a Panny ZT plasma and the only thing that's giving me pause for thought is the latest wave of OLEDs.

I have to say its the first I have heard that an OLED screen doesnt give as good a PQ as an LED; politely disagree.
I currently have a fairly decent LCD screen (bought 6 years ago) but I never saw anything that would make me change to an LED.

The OLED I feel warrants a change and it feels like a decent upgrade.
Being over on the AV Forum I know its mainly plasma owners who have been very reluctant to change to any new tech of TV, that is until now due to OLED TVs.

They feel its a worthy replacement in the majority of cases.

Fairly soon? 4K itself is only really established in streaming, and even then it's generally curated stuff in the case of Netflix. Many 4K Blurays are still upscaled from a of 2K master, etc. You have to go looking for 4K stuff on these services, it's not the case that anything you might choose to watch is available.

There's also a mismash of standards all still trying to be top dog, like Dolby Vision, HDR10, etc. That's before you even get into HDMI 2.2 and HDCP compatibility.

I'd say the 4K realm, at least in terms of standards, is still pretty changeable and 8K is some years away, personally.

Someone messaged me regarding the 8k tv too, I said the exact same thing, it's taken years to even get a bit of 4K content.

8k is quite a few years away to even be remotely worth upgrading for. 5 years +
