To be fair didn't LG sell a 4k tv which was actually fake, some interlace kind of manipulation, where it shared pixels and didn't actually have the pixel count of 4k. So not impossible its fake 4k, tho unlikely I'm sure as LG got grilled for it and rightly so.

Never mind the quality, feel the width!
Seriously though, fantastic reduction in price price for 65" Ultra HD, 4K Android TV. 🔥🔥🔥

This TV is truly truly awful. Good case of you get what you pay for.

For TV enthusiasts it won't cut the mustard, however for someone who just wants a large screen they can't go wrong here.

BargainAssume it's the same telly as this deal?

Doubt there are many left in other stores, but bargain if you find one (edited)

For anyone lookj g for these, there are 2 left in the Boscombe (Bournemouth) store, but you will need to ask staff for them, as they're not on display!

Also remember to use Lidl Plus, as you'll immediately get £12 of vouchers back for spending over £200!

(And if you park in the the Sovereign Centre car park, take your ticket into the store to get an extra £1.50 off for spending over £10 (specific to this store only!)

anyone know the model number to look at the specs? thanks

The best thing to come out of Southampton since Craig David.

Yep

Partners parents one has again broke

Probably the worst TVs on the market right now - I have two (40" & 55") that I've recently swapped out for better ones but at that price it's actually a viable decision.

You press a button, nothing happens. You press the same button again, nothing happens. You press the same button a third time and then the TV registers all three presses and you end up on channel 666 instead of 6. When you try again, you can't as the amount of pressing buttons has run down the batteries in the remote!

But then you think... "I only paid £300 for this mammoth TV - I can live with that"!

It's Monday, I just hope it'll be available on Tuesday, we'll set it up on Wednesday, and on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
we'll be chilled on Sunday.... (edited)

Now there's 1 left in Boscombe!

Picked one up from Boscombe (Bournemouth) Lidl thank you @Burning4Deals and @NeoDoug1 (edited)

Just how bad is this TV? Is it real 4k?

Same as any other Vestel type no doubt thus the same
as most budget TVs.

Obviously, they will be now all gone at that price. (edited)

4k is 4k. The issue will be with the colour, brightness, contrast, HDR quality, etc.

It's not like HD, where you could be talking about 720p or "full HD" at 1080p.

Not made by Vestel, made by Sharp Poland (formerly UMC Poland).

They are fine if you use a separate source, like a fire stick, and avoid the OS. They have improved the speed on their recent TV's though. (edited)

Good for spare TV for gym etc

I did not know that.

TheCostOfLies07/02/2022 18:07

I did not know that.

Yep. It was RGBW LCD displays that didn't have the full 3 coloured sub-pixels per pixel and replaced one of the colours with white. It resulted in a actual resolution of 2.8K, with off colours, and bad text rendering. It wasn't too noticeable for normal TV watching, but looked bad on 4K sources, or when using it as a PC monitor.

LG lied about it and downplayed the issues for a few years, before they gave up and started to produce only RGB LCD displays.

They do a similar thing in their WRGB OLEDs, but those have 3 colours + white for each pixel.

It was broke on Sunday...

Kidding, great price for a massive telly. Plug a Roku innit, innit.

I got one in Welwyn Garden City. I didn't find them in store but I asked the staff and they were so nice, they looked in the warehouse and got one for me and helped me load it too.
At the moment it's scanning for satellite (I have a Sky dish) 800 channels found so far... What I can see is that white is white and black is black. My old Samsung had the backlight a bit gone.
Thank you @Burning4Deals you made my day!

Wondering if boscombe still have one. I’m at work and no way to call the store. Probably sold by now at that price.

Any left in Southampton? If so what branch? (edited)

None left pal, all sold out

@NeoDoug1 think I left my parcel shelf for my car boot in the Sovereign centre car park was too excited to get the tv home. Wanted to get the staff names as the both guys who bought the tv out were really helpful and professional.
