It would be good to see Appliances Online compete with this deal on eBay.

I haven't hit the buy it now button yet… I'm hoping for a pricing war.
If you want it, I would buy it. I wouldn't fanny about.
There were a lot of people on Whirlpool forums disappointed they didn't pull the trigger at $3500 at Boxing Day. Since then it's seen almost no discounting.
New models are expected soon I believe..
No TV shortage is predicted in Australia anytime soon as far as I'm aware. (the same cant be said for FTA content of course)
So my advice would be if you 'need it' buy it.
If you don't….then wait.
Prices will always fall tomorrow for today's technology - it's a given."I wouldn't fanny about" lol. This is my new favourite saying! Thanks gave me a chuckle.
I pulled the trigger on Friday. Tried to get HN to price match but the best they could do was $3999. I wouldn't be surprised if the Boxing Day sale price doesn't return hence why I grabbed one. Stock is starting to disappear too as the new model is due next month.
Yah… hence…
What about it / when is it mind blowing?
I have an entry level 65" ,$1,500 Samsung 4K TV with a bose sound bar.
Mainly watch FTA, Netflix/Stan.Don't own a Blu-ray/4k player, do you think you'd see a 'mind blowing' difference with everyday use like that?
Every time I hear great reviews about TV X,Y, Z or even people saying to go to a store and look at it for yourself I worry that difference is seen when viewing specially created super high quality footage designed specifically to show of the TV, not everyday content.
You can see the TV in most stores playing the same content. Blacks are phenomenal and colours are really vivid. The difference in FTA TV would be minimal but netflix should look significantly better, especially if you watch the 4k HDR content (mostly netflix exclusive stuff). Altered Carbon looks amazing. I picked up an LG 65B6 off gumtree and have zero regrets.
Definitely check them out in store though to see if the difference is worth twice the price to you though.
hey mate - may I pls check what did you pay for the B6 off gumtree?
Off gumtree? That smells like stolen product!
Unlike 4K vs 1080p, with OLED vs LCD you don't actually need any special footage to see the difference. High native contrast improves all content.
Supposedly they are scaling up production of 65" OLEDs going into the future, meaning they will start getting cheaper this year.
spoiler alert
waiting for a deal on the 75".
Will be happy to pay $4k
Great story, you should tell it again sometime.
Thanks for listening.
Have a nice day!
It's not going to be that cheap. Whenever you add 10 inches, the price goes up to like double.
Great price, great TV.
Have had this tv for nearly a year and would highly recommend, especially at this price. I paid $5 :o(
OK, for an yr price drop is ~1400…
Might hold off just for a little more.
Ive been watching closely and there has not been any decent sales since boxing day. If you need the TV soon then dont hold off
Ah have been waiting for this deal to happen and now struggling to pull the trigger
If you are planning on buying this TV - DON'T.
Motion handling on current LG OLED models is ABYSMAL. Terrible for FTA & Foxtel. Particularly evident on any slow motion replay. Also abysmal for Netflix, Youtube and other streamed content which play at a variety of outputs and require on-the-fly adjustment of settings to fix.
You could play in the settings for days tying to perfect the anti-judder and anti-blur settings but each of these options creates as many issues as it solves.
A premium TV like this should not have such a fundamental flaw.
The only way I could recommend this TV is if you have a premium home theater amp that can handle all the image processing and give the LG TV content in the only format it can handle (4K/60fps).
Not my experience at all. I have de-judder set to 4 and think the motion handling is beautiful for all my sources (FTA, Netflix, YouTube, PS4), at least compared to my 10yo Samsung LCD.
That's sad to hear. I guess I'll hang onto my Panasonic plasma for a while longer then. Image problems was why I stayed away from LCD screens, to me they look blurry and/or over processed. Do the other OLED brands have the same issues (seeing as how the panels all come from the same source atm)?
I was in JB the other day and they had a TCL next to a Pana OLED and the judder was terrible on the OLED. They were playing the same content which was surprising. TCL looked better, probably because it's brightness was turned up.
Still have not pulled the trigger on anything yet but 65" Sony x9000 is probably where you get your bang for buck!?
Unless you're controlling the settings, which you should always do before seriously buying, then that's a useless comparison. I have seen many excellent tvs look like complete crap in store due the insane settings someone has applied.
I gotta say every time I look at the 60" TCL in JBHIFI I fall in love. I don't think the processing would be great for fast motion 4k stuff but for the price (on special) its a lot of great TV!
Think it was 1790 delivered for the 65" QLED model. Great price but yeah not sure as I have not read many reviews and the ones that I have talk about a lot of backlight bleed.
The top of the line TCLs are really great in all the reviews. You have to remember that no TV at that price is flawless.
Forget about motion interpolation, OLEDs don't need it. Just turn it off and rely on the panels near-instantaneous response time.
Cool…
You negged because YOU think its over priced and probably cant afford it either. Its the best pricing at the moment, Go back to your inferior tech!
I have a top of the range 2016 Samsung KS8000 and wish I paid more at the time to go OLED..
We have the same model/size and I must say it is a very bad choice, as you won't be able to enjoy any other TV once you get one of them OLED ones!
Our upstairs 4K TV practically never get used anymore…
Had mine for a couple weeks and I'm totally in love with it. Having said that I don't watch free to air, just Netflix, my Plex library, 4k HDR movies and Xbox one X gaming.
If you're watching free to air and are expecting amazing picture quality, dont. As you're watching the wrong media to begin with, FTA looks like ass on every tv. If you're going to give this tv the media it deserves it'll seriously blow you away!
Kinda makes me wish they sold 720p OLEDs just for FTA!
I have a 1080p OLED and FTA/SD looks fine. Can still notice the difference in contrast vs LCD. Just gotta play with the settings a bit.
I put on some SD FTA recently, which I would not have seen in over a year. My god, how do people watch that garbage????
It was a major factor in me sourcing my tv shows elsewhere 9 or so years ago. These days, it's just inexcusable.
I was at HN looking at 4K TVs today. When they play their demo footage they all look so gorgeous. But when you watch FTA TV, aka "real" content, it looks so bad. Was watching a football game and every player looked so blurry.
If you're some average joe looking at the demo footage playing off a USB stick and expecting everything to look that good, you're going to be so disappointed, because FTA TV looks worse than it did on a 1080p TV.
FTA TV is garbage quality, so I agree, if that's all you watch, a TV like this isn't even close to worth it.
There's a lot of real content that looks as good as the demo stuff does. Obviously they pick videos to show off every colour as best they can, but real-world content like video games, Netflix streams, blu rays etc. look amazing on these panels, especially if they take advantage of the HDR.
All my content is 1080p max for the moment. I don't feel like buying an Xbone X due to lack of exclusives. I don't do Netflix and I don't have any 4K Blurays or a player.
It would be a future proofing purchase, though I might be better off waiting till I can justify it.
1080p content does look better on the OLEDs, because they're awesome TVs, but if you don't have any content that needs a TV like this (4K and/or HDR), it's probably not worth upgrading (unless you have money to burn, or your current TV exploded). Prices are only going to go down over time.
With the LG OLED, there appears to be an annual cycle where a new model is introduced early, goes down in price at a few points, then continues to drop until they're all sold out as they are discontinued and replaced with an updated model 12 months later. Then it resets back to its original price.

https://charts.camelcamelcamel.com/us/B06XCR93SJ/amazon.png?…I might look into Sony or Panasonic if they engage in price wars but so far it hasn't seemed to happen.
LG is on an annual update cycle in line with smartphones or Intel CPUs so prices don't continue going down because they just get replaced with a new model, resetting the price back to RRP. Right now we are in the clearance phase. When C8 releases, we're back to it being expensive again unless there is some old B7/C7 stock still around.
@lostn: Yeah fair enough, technology will usually get pegged to certain price points, but the technology itself does improve. A mid-range Intel CPU might cost the same in 2018 as it did in 2016, but it will be more powerful, and you could probably pick up an entry level CPU now that has the same grunt as 2016's mid-range.
OLED is fairly new as a technology. LG might still be selling flagship, bleeding edge TVs for $3-4k in 2020, but you'd imagine something on par with the 2017 models will be available for a more modest price (whether its LG or someone else).
I guess my only real point was that with technology it's never worth upgrading sooner than you need to.
It was marginally cheaper around Christmas time.
However, this is still a fantastic price. I have this model and it's mind blowing.
