[Deleted member 2457]

Currys are out of stock at the moment so no doubt Richer Sounds will up their price like last time!

Out of stock of what, gel?

The Panasonic - which was who Richer Sounds were price matching.

That 4 grand eBay price is incredible! But only a 12-month guarantee, whereas at Richer Sounds, for a grand more, there is a six-year guarantee.

You can buy an extended warranty from eBay.

I didn't know that ...... useful to know, doctor! *clapping*

 

[bigboss]

I haven't checked if they provide extended warranties on refurbished items. Best to confirm.

£5,499 and it's been calibrated, but I wonder for which environment? Dim or completely dark? If the environment when it was calibrated doesn't match the environment of the buyer, the calibration might have to be redone.

5 year warranty too.

 

[Son_of_SJ]

Four grand and five years' warranty is a fantastic offer by Sevenoaks - if you want a Panasonic 4K OLED.

I thinks this is still expensive for a tv that's now out of date.

 

[Son_of_SJ]

"Out of date" is a bit harsh, it was released less than a year ago, in September 2015 I think, at £8K .... And every single review said that it was the best television ever. I know that things move on, specifically the new HDR specifications, but the Panasonic OLED hasn't become a bad television overnight!

 

[Series1boy]

No it's not a bad tv, however it is out of date now which ever way you look at it.

 

[ellisdj]

Why is it out of date and why would it have to be recalibrated?

 

[Series1boy]

Why is it out of date and why would it have to be recalibrated?

it was out last year, so,it's out of date compared to the latest TVs out now.

I do not understand what the problem is, it's out of date that's it.!!!!!!!

my Denon x6200 is now out of date because there is a new model coming out soon! So, it's out of date!

i didn't day it needed re-calibrating too!

 

[ellisdj]

It has all the tech of todays TV's except Dolby Vision.

Out of date in my mind would be missing something big like HDR - but the Panny doesnt it has it.

Its last years model but its not out of date I think that's wrong description series one mate Its a lot of money for last years model.

But even think about that, its one year old thats all and your getting it for half price is that a bad deal. Or you can buy something in the current years range for more and be "up to date" for a few months??

Considering that the LG E6 is the current best in class and available for the same as, or less than the Panasonic, I would go for the LG. This year's OLED panels have addressed few issues of the previous generation, which even the Panasonic would suffer from.

Dolby Vision and higher peak brightness is a bonus.

 

[ellisdj]

This is interesting comparion of HDR10 and Dolby Vision

I didnt read it I just looked at the pictures to see the differences.

I had a demo of this TV yesterday while purchasing another item in a private sale and I have to say wow! I can't believe Gel sold it and wasn't happy with it! It had been ISF calibrated as well and looked stunning on both 4K and regular Blu Ray. Having said that, the owner is returning it and exchanging it for an LG G6 because he wants to try Dolby Vision which the Panasonic doesn't do.

Does he have a separate sound system? I'm curious to know why G6 instead of E6.

Yes, he had a Pioneer Susano amp (something I've been looking for for the past 5 years), and a B&W 6.1 speaker system, and it sounded amazing. I'm not sure about why the G6 rather than the E6, it is an exchange for the Panasonic so maybe that is closer in price. John Lewis don't stock the Panasonic any more (so I was told). I guess with the G6 you could use the TV speaker for watching the news or SD channels and save the home cinema system for movies or programs broadcast in dolby digital.

 

[ellisdj]

Does he know there will be quite a wait for dolby vision content

Also he should read the link I posted yesterday

It was very very good but for some reason I just can't get on with Panasonic TVs and I loved my LG I don't regret what I did. Great TV though.
