    Look it may be a great deal, and in some people's minds even a bargain. But the notion of spending over €1600 on a TV is literally ****ing insane. Great for you if you can afford that but jesus christ....

    each to their own I guess
    I'd have less of a problem paying 2k or so for this than I would paying
    half that for a fone or tablet.
    Know a lad who's spent this on a set of speakers, if that's what you're into then best of luck with it I say.

    The B6, C6 and E6 are all reduced. I bought the 55E6V originally last week, and that was less 20%. Returned it for the bigger C6.
    They come in 55" and 65".

    So all model numbers are:
    OLED55B6V
    OLED65B6V
    OLED55C6V
    OLED65C6V
    OLED55E6V
    OLED65E6V

    I think! Ring and ask using those numbers anyway.

    Can't remember exactly- think they might have been 1699 plus an extra 20% off - if I get a chance I'll pop in

    Fair play!

    Don't go looking for issues, or doing screen tests.
    Throw in the recommended AVForums settings, adjust the OLED settings to the brightness you like, and away you go.

    The latest update gives HLG support, but dims HDR Gaming mode. Turn Dynamic Contrast to high, and it fixes the dullness.

    Drop us a pm if you're stuck.

    Welcome to the club. All your other tellys will look crap now!

    Edit: download some HDR demos for yourself. HDR Chess and Cymatic Jazz are incredible to look at.

    Each individual pixel is lit individually with a burt of electricity. That's why the picture is so good. The black bars at top and bottom of the screen is the screen essentially turned off. No dark grey rubbish. Pitch black.

    Would a 55B6 display model be worth it for €1200?

    You'd want to be checking the hours on the panel.

    You'll still be covered by the 5 year warranty I'd say.

    He said it's only a 1 year warranty so I'll leave it. Thanks.

    Will do, thanks again, I've been looking at oleds for about 2years now, waiting on prices to drop, this deal is amazing, still can't believe it!! I go into Currys and Harvey Norman nearly every week looking at the oleds in envy.

    Have to buy the official wall mount for it as my wall mount at the moment is a bit chunky, so probably won't get to use it for a week or two!!

    Again, thanks!!

    I would advise to be very careful with ex-display OLED screens due to ever-growing "burnin effect" in OLEDs, if store had a static image on display for a long time it may already "burnt" and will never go away, check details on http://www.avsforum.com/forum/40-oled-technology-flat-panels-general/2804065-oled-screen-burn-photos.html

    but price is so good and tempting, I recently paid €1600 for same 55" but new :(

    Only model left is the display model - it's 1699 less 20%.

    What's peoples view on going for the display model?

    No it doesn't.

    But seeing as it went to pm stage, you can assume he did.

    He didn't!
