Cheapest on pricespy is £1439 with 5 year warranty.
You were looking at a different model or size possibly?
Cheapest in pricespy is 1439 at powerdirect.co.uk but it’s a special order and not confirmed in stock item. So not sure when it will be delivered.
With RS, stock is confirmed with delivery next week and it’s just 10 quid more with an extra year of cover hence I found it the best price at the moment. Cheers.
They are not the same price range. This is 65” model, LG oled ones 65” are in the range of 2500-2700. I think you are comparing with LG oled 55” models, that are in this range of 1500-1600
Shame the bezel round the corners on the first set wasn't as secure as it should be and got infested with thunder flies though I can also say I've noticed the stutter issue mentioned above but not that often to be fair
Different size but that aside the LGs oleds are better imo
I'd personally go for a 55" B7 OLED at this price. Yes its smaller but the picture quality and OS are so much better.
I don't think burn in is a issue if you won't leave the screen on and on pause for hours
Can't compare oled to standard led diffrent price range completely for my 2 pence as a Sony android tv owner. It's a painful experience and would not wish it on anyone
pq is probably better yeah but I doubt the OS is better than Android.
It is in my opinion as I use both. Android OS is clunky and not as smooth, it's also not as user friendly. The magic remote on the B7 and its so easy to quickly open apps. Android does have more apps though.
WebOS is by far the best of the smart TV platforms. It's in a different league to Android TV really, which is still lacking basic things like a HDR-enabled Youtube app. Android TV is also extremely unresponsive on these Sony sets, but that's more to do with the ancient, budget SoC they use to run it.
Sorry my bad ,you are right!
Yes just realized this is 65"
Fair point, I'll wait until BF to get a decent deal. Until then I have my old Panasonic 37" fhd LCD to last me.
If you watch sports or play games with persistent logos, it is still very much an issue for OLED. Of course you can take steps to minimise it and if you're careful you could almost eradicate the risk. I can't be arsed worrying about it after years with plasma.
LG’s webos is consistently rated as the / one of the best smart tv platforms. Sony’s Android platform, on the other hand, is consistently criticised for being slow and needing frequent reboots.
Also the set is capable of YouTube HDR they just need to fix it (Google).
It was possible - for a few weeks until they patched it - to cast a HDR video from a HDR capable phone so it's definitely not a chipset limitation. For now there's a custom APK that can be sideload via USB that lets you watch YouTube HDR. Haven't got round to trying it yet.
I'll see if I can find the link.

I love it but different strokes for different folks anyone saying its slow,clunky etc and who actually owns an Android TV needs to uninstall Leanback Launcher its the cause of pretty much every problem I ran into on my X8307C the XE90 has been perfect since I bought it just before xmas and Leanback was uninstalled on day 1.
yeah no HDR youtube kinda sucks but its not a big deal, what model do you have like?
nice! will give it a go cheers
I just installed it, it works but you need to select HDR in the quality settings and for me at least it's not kicking the TV into full HDR mode for some reason - or the brightness isn't automatically set to max. Still tinkering
Before I bought this TV, I was absolutely set on the LG B7. Picture is much better of course with OLED. In the end I opted for the Sony because of the possibility of burn in, and the fact that the warranty will not cover it.
I’m glad I got XE90 over the oled, as even with this I’ve left it on for ages, whether it’s Netflix or paused the sky. So burn in would have been a big issue- for me
I guess if you’re more careful with how you view tv, then def get the oled
aye I had a mooch at the source on github, says gotta switch to BT.2020 the GUI is rendered at 1080p but video is HDR according to tests.
I have the Panasonic ez1002b oled. I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up and realised the Xbox was still on aprx 8 hours later. To my horror I could see something on the screen screen burn I thought. Switched the Tv off for 5 min then switched it back on all back to normal it was screen retention not burn. At that point I stopped worrying about screen burn.
you know the Sony has daydream (screensaver) support right? its a great way to prevent burn in.
On their lcds?
no he said he had a XE90
Which is a lcd
My brother has an oled and he hasn’t had issues with burn in yet- he’s quite meticulous so oleds works for him
IR and burn in are different things though
I know that. But initially both look the same. The fact it cleared meant it was retention
I’ve had no issues with burnnin on my LG B7. Haven’t even suffered image retention. It has a screensaver that activates after 2 minutes of pausing video and as long as you’re not watching the same channel for more than 5 hours, you don’t even need to worry about it.
I’m a little cautious about gaming on it because UI elements tend to be static in games so that could be a problem but other than that, it’s the best TV I’ve ever had. The OS is top-notch too. At least on par with Samsung’s.
