Hi all,
We currently have a 65 inch curved Samsung SUHD which we need to move on due to a new room layout.
The long haired commander wants a TV on the chimney breast, and I quite want an oled. If I put a 65 up there, it will literally take up the whole width of the breast and I think it'll actually be a bit too close to the log burner so I'm looking at 55"s
So, here are my options
Oled55b26la - £750, Costco, but need to keep membership to get the 5 year warranty (Costco is about 150 miles away and I go once /twice a year). Could possibly find one for £799 with the warranty and no Costco membership requirement.
Oled55cs6la - I can get this for £770 delivered, but only 1 year warranty (unless the 5 years everyone seems to be offering is an in box redemption!)
Oled55C26Ld (evo panel) - I can get an open box one with 5 year warranty for £950.
We don't watch a lot of films or do any gaming.
Seeing the B2 and C2 side by side in store, it's a clear difference, but if I hadn't seen it, I'm not sure if I would have been disappointed by the B2 if that makes sense, and I definitely don't know if it's worth an extra £180 to me. Especially considering I need new carpets, blinds, accessories etc (according to the female)
What would you go for, and why? And is the warranty that much of a factor?
Thanks

Irrespective of this you can have an online membership for £15 a year.
I suspect this is the sentence from the link they would refer to 'Warranty only applies to Costco UK members'
Anyway, I bought the CS from very for £759 plus £9 postage on a 20% back deal (£949 everywhere else) . I'll take the chance on the warranty. If it goes bad it's a good chance it'll happen in the first 12 months, if it happens after 2 years the equivalent tv would probably be £500 anyway and this way I'm getting a better tv.
Probably still keep Costco membership though, simply for the mac and cheese balls (edited)
