    Buy it off richer sounds and pay in sterling and you'll get a better deal.
    Prob get 6 year warranty and free delivery too.

    I'd prefer to shop local for the time being as much as I can. This TV comes with a 5 year warranty from Sony anyway so I wouldn't worry too much :pac:

    Spotted my local Expert has the 2019 model 65” Bravia OLED yesterday for around €2,200 also.

    Was one of the best looking displays in-store IMO.

    My parents have always bought Sony TVs. Can't be beat.


    I'll be getting IPTV set up on this one - can't wait!

    Just a note, friend of mine recently bought a Sony. The screen sharing program - all-share requires a subscription. If you are an iPhone user and want to cast/throw/airplay content to the telly you'll have to watch ads in advance or pay a subscription.

    https://www.did.ie/lg-cx-65-4k-ultra-hd-oled-smart-tv-black-oled65cx5lb-oled65cx5lb-prd The sony is a great tv, but for the new consoles the lg supports 4k 120fps through all 4 hdmi inputs. This is what i'll be buying. I haven't checked other sites for cheaper prices yet.

    Bonkers to me that you'd pay over 2 grand on a TV but then use IPTV (unless you mean Netflix/Prime/etc)

    FWIW, Sony's 5 year warranty is useless IMHO.

    I bought a Sony TV from Amazon and got the 5 year warranty with documentation etc. TV went faulty after 4 years and Sony refused to honour it as I purchased from Amazon. No explanation other than that.

    I used to be a lifelong Sony TV customer but not anymore.

    I know you are not buying from Amazon, just offering my 2c.

    Did you buy from Amazon or a market place seller? If not sold or full filled by Amazon you could be buying anything from anyone, Amazon market place isn't well regulated, and most likely bought a gray import not supposed to be sold to this country.

    It was from Amazon, not a market place Seller.

    Did you try to contacting Amazon directly ? I had an issue once with a carbon monoxide sensor, with a 10 year warranty. 3 years into owning it, it kept going into a reboot loop causing the alarm to beep as it initialised. Amazon refunded me the original price as it was no longer available and they told me to ship the faulty one to them.

    I once bought a bottle of whiskey on Amazon.. there was a mix up, and I received a cement mixer.

    They were cool about it, gave me a refund, and told me to keep the cement mixer.

    Yes, I contacted Amazon and got a refund - well, a credit to my account which I was very grateful for.

    I was disgusted by Sony's evading their responsibility. I bought another TV from Amazon to replace the faulty Sony. Needless to say, it wasn't a Sony.

    Most phones have an inbuilt function for screen-sharing and don't need an app.
    Sony also don't produce an app called All Share.
    What app is your friend using?

    Sounds like the extended warranty was from Amazon and not Sony.

    No, it was a Sony warranty.

    I applied to Sony after I purchased the TV and received documentation from them detailing the warranty etc. When the TV went faulty, they messed me around for 2 weeks with resetting the TV etc before telling me they would not honour the warranty.

    I contacted Amazon, told them my story and they gave me a full refund including the return postage cost.

    Won't be buying another Sony TV.

    The companies always give terrible conversion rates if they let you pay in your currency. For low value items it can be a Euro extra, for a TV it's a lot.

    I cant believe OLED suffer from screen burn. I still have a Pioneer plasma which is nearly 15 years old which had the same issue.

    I am interested in upgrading to OLED but dont want the screen burn hassle, especially as it isnt covered by the guarantee!!

    You don't have to buy the extra warranty, as it already has a 5 year. Yes it is robbery but you don't need it. don't worry about it.
