sorted byI've been using this forum for a good few years and some of the questions none techie people have still surprise me. But I'd rather answer someone's questions helpfully, instead of ignoring them thinking it's a joke.
Tl:DR: Stutter is always there with OLEDs but can be reduced with motion settings. Judder can affect all panel technologies and is usually a non-issue, but you need a review to be sure.
Anecdotally, you do notice the stutter with OLED for the first few weeks, especially since you've been accustomed to slow response time LCDs for nearly two decades. Before long you'll forget about it and just be blown away by the deep inky blacks, high contrast and rich colours and OLED can produce.
Stutter is inherent to OLED technology because of the instantaneous response time - there's no delay in a pixel changing from one colour to the next. This means the next frame in a video is shown instantly. Most video content is 24p, a cinematic but fairly low framerate with just 24 (23.976) frames in a second. Traditional technologies like LCD (which then have sub-technologies like IPS, VA, or TN panels) take far longer to transition from one colour to the next so you get a sort of blurring, and it's this blurring that helps smooth out low framerate content.
This might be a good video for you:
And here is a brutal panning shot from Mission Impossible: Fallout:
Judder is how a TV processes a video signal. A film is typically 24p (23.976FPS) and you want each of those frames to be displayed for the same amount of time - frame time consistency. Some OLEDs like the LG A1 have a 60Hz panel and don't support 3:2 pulldown. This means if you wanted to watch a 24p film through a PC which sends a 60Hz signal (and doesn't support frame rate switching) then it will display the frames inconsistently, giving it a jerky/choppy/unsmooth appearance. More expensive models, including the LG C1, have a 120Hz panel and can do 3:2 pulldown so use cases like that are a non-issue. But that doesn't inherently mean it's judder-free. For example, Panasonic's HZ (2020) OLEDs suffered from judder with smoke/fog scenes, but this has been fixed with the JZ (2021) series I believe.
Stick 300 in your basket and it'll tell you they don't have that many, and will also note how many they actually have.

It's basically one of the 'Challenger Banks', or FinTechs - basically a digital bank where you do your banking through an app on your phone. Easy enough to use and you can set an account up whether you currently have a current account elsewhere or not. You can add money to it by debit card or be paid into it using the sort code and account number you are given like any other bank.
It's been around a while - a legit company and has FSCS protection, meaning your money is covered up to £85,000.
One of the best features for us deal hunters on HUKD, is that Monese have regularly offered 20% off gift card vouchers to stretch our cash a bit further
The screens have a slight pink tint off angle on a white screen. But if you check the box or the rear of the TV there is serial number and it will be OLED55C14LB.ABCPFJK. If the 4th letter is a P or a W then you have a 2nd generation WBE panel. (edited)
Heat awarded!
On an LG CX? What on earth did you do the cause that,ha. I have never seen it since 2018 models so yours would be the first. Do you have any pictures you can share?
The O in OLED is an organic compound (improvements have been made in the latest WBE panels) so over time the pixels will obviously degrade but should still be lasting a good 4 or 5 years will very regular watching. LEDs are the same, these can fail over time too.
Unfortunately no technology is perfect.
For the piece of mind for a considered purchase then go ahead. I've never had an issue but I understand this is still a fair bit to spend.
I suppose the bonus here is that you are essentially paying £879 net (£899 minus the £100 gift card plus the burn in protection of £80) so in way JL are paying for the extra burn in protection of you can use the gift card of course. (edited)
100% for that piece of mind, works out at £16 per year, I paid £140 for mine no regrets.
I was using mine as a pc monitor for about 4 hours a day, had black backround, hidden desktop items, hidden taskbar, problem seemed to be where the window would snap in that was were it was starting to burn in on certain colours, not terrible but it was def there.
You cant use the £100 for burn in warranty unfortunately though.

Can get a local store to deliver them.
You can actually do a request online to a store that has stock, to see if they will arrange delivery.

Click on a local (or any) store that shows as having stock, then it gives you the option to input your details inc address to request a delivery (or collection) of the item. It states they will be in touch within a couple of hours via phone or email. (edited)

But it looks like they've reduced the 'protection plus' cover from £140 to £80 now that it's dropped below the £1k figure. This cover does include burn in apparantly.
Also, to note, Richer Sounds have previously price matched JL and included an £100 RS voucher. Just in case anyone would prefer to purchase from RS. (edited)
For £80 - definitely.
They've agreed to give me a £100 voucher to match JL
108 in stock
Don’t bother as you will be disappointed.
It will be minuscule improvement picture quality wise. You already have good tv.
I don't think it would make a difference how you pay. Just be carefull to check that there is enought stock, you dont want to be stuck with it out of stock and £800 of JL vouchers. If you are using vouchers would highly recomend you dont make the full purchase in vouchers. Put a little bit on Credit Card so that you have some sort of cover with the purchase. Credit card will cover section 75 if the total purchase value is over £100 even you partly paid with goft cards.
Anyone that can combine with Today's Monese Gift Card Deal could technically get even more of a scorcher... £750 John Lewis vouchers for £600. + £150 Cash means this TV could be had for £750... And then also most likely get back a £100 JL Gift card (so this TV with 5 Year Warranty effectively for £650)
literally opened an account about 2 hours ago and it was relatively easy. To buy the £50 GC for example, you can top up just £40 and buy the GC, which can be redeemed straight away.
The £400 and £200 gift cards have sold out. You can only buy one gift card of each value.
£100 and £50
Replacing my 15yr old Panny plasma. I'll have to use the heating with that turned off.
It's a great TV in terms of picuture quality. I agree it is not without its faults. I find the OS is a lot slower on the C1 than my CX and JZ980.
burn in is inherently an issue due to the technology, regardless of if you have not come across it, if we were to wait another couple of years the 2019 models with burn in will start showing up, it is a problem but not something to worry as the technology to stop it is getting better.
My cx that I just replaced had sign of slight burn in on certain colours (edited)
Last year, old stock was gone by end of June. So maybe this 279 number is all they have got.
260 now. (edited)
Heat added. (edited)
I don't agree with you. I live in a small 2 bedroom flat and 65" fits in nicely. Ironically, don't forget that old flat panel TV'S had massive bezels. For example my 65" is actually smaller that 60" set it had replaced. And it is so thin that my cat can't walk on top of it anymore.
Owned 5 OLEDs and currently own 3 and never come across this burn in issue. From from I have read it hasn't been an issue since 2018 models.
You won't be disappointed. Its a great TV. Of you lucky you may get a newer LG WBE panel. O got this on my C1 from RS ordered on Black Friday. (edited)
