Samsung 2022 55" S95B QD OLED + £300 guaranteed trade in £1299 / £999 @ Samsung
About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
£999 for the 55" Samsung S95B (with trade in of any old TV) on standard Samsung UK website
Or if you have access to the EPP site, it is now £1039.20 with no trade in.
I couldn't seem to find warranty info on the EPP page, but be warned that EPP usually has less warranty.
There has been a lot of deals recently around this TV, however Samsung themselves have now beaten the ones that are still available.
Some previous deals bringing it to £1099 are still on.
Marks Electricals deal of £1099 with a free soundbar (worth ~£250) has ended however.

I have just seen sswgeordie's thread suggesting you can get further discounts by asking them to price match another seller. And this potentially may price match the pre-trade in value. Though it doesn't seem to be guaranteed, so attempt this at your own risk.

sorted byNot necessarily. Samsung's yields on these sets have risen significantly in a short space of time which massively reduces their cost of production and increases the supply.
At the end of last year the yield on making these panels was only 50% - i.e. half of the produced panels had to be disposed of and could not be used in a TV. This summer, the yield reached 85% - so only 1 in 7 panels cannot be used. Even if they do not manufacture any more panels now than they did last year, the number of usable panels that they can sell will have gone up by 70%. So on the supply side it is not surprising that the price they are selling at has fallen so quickly.
Low yields was the reason Samsung pulled out of the large OLED TV market in 2013. Samsung beat LG in the race to create the first 55" OLED TV. in 2012 These first models were extremely expensive due to very low yields, with the models from both Samsung and LG selling at around £4,000. LG managed to get their yields up and prices down on their simpler to make WRGB OLED. Samsung could not do the same with their RGB OLED and pulled out. LG rapidly got the price of their 55" down to around £1,500.
Something I'm interested to know is just how much better is this than a Philips 55OLED856? Both are same price on RS. I really like the ambilight feature and have no interest in playing video games.
Make decision..heat added
colours and blacks are absolutely mind blowing
its just a whole other experience watching content
55" technically shows a 5-year warranty label on one of the images for that listing (doesn't show up on the 65"), so you could take a screenshot of this and use that to make sure you get the coverage.
Made another comment in the other S95B discussion thread with full details. Well worth doing this for £799, which is practically guaranteed as long as you do document/screenshot their price match page/T&C, making sure to keep evidence of the TV trade in being allowed in conjunction with the price match (i.e. the TV trade in discount is not used as part of the Samsung Price against RS price), the S95B being included in the promotion, and RS being one of the selected retailers. If they do initially reject it, you can just copy/paste the link to the page or a screenshot of it, and the paste the t&c stating you can combine trade-in with price match. You can start the claim once you've ordered, although they won't process it further until the S95B is delivered and you can update the claim with the TV serial. I've already done this myself, although this was when RS lowered the price to £1289, and it's dropped further since then. Sooner you do it, the more likely it will succeed, they may well remove the S95B from the price match page at some point, who knows. (edited)
I wouldn't touch this TV with a bargepole.
So on paper it looks possible. But I personally am sceptical they will allow it, and its too soon to have seen anyone actually try it.
Edit: never mind, it's still £999 after trade in. Website went screwy and showed me the 65" price on the 55" model. (edited)
1. If my receiver supports DTS and I connect to this TV to the receiver via ARC with a firestick connected to the receiver, then will it still work as it would be bypassing the TVs audio anyway?
2. If the firestick supports Dolby vision content, will this display correctly on this TV again going through a receiver and firestick?
3. My receiver does not support HDMI 2.1 pass through, if I were to connect an Xbox series X to this TV directly and connect the audio to the receiver via optical connection would this produce 5.1 Dolby digital or would it be outputting stereo only.
Thanks to anyone that can help me with my questions.
So the response that covers all 3 of these is why not stick the firestick and Xbox directly into the TV and plug in your audio via eARC? That would give you the best audio and visual
