What is the overall verdict from people who have the TVs up and running? Debating whether to pull the trigger on it or not.

Argos UK site has reviews from 45 buyer's.
41 give it 5 out of 5,while 4 give it 4 out of 5.
Picture quality seems to be very good.

Wall bracket is arriving tomorrow!
Can't wait to see this badboy up on the wall and out of the way!!!

LandonRicketts

Highly doubtful at this stage but if there is a spare code going for any of the 2 Kerry store let me know!

Managed to get the last Argos LG TV bargain last year(1080p 49 inch). Trying to convince myself to upgrade to 4k screen at the right price!

MICKEYG

I believe this is a high-quality LG TV.
Is there a 50" equivalent?

Barti

Just after picking one up in Longford. Hopefully might get this setup tonight and figure out what to do with an old, less than 1080p, 32 inch. Should be some change in quality.

People
Probably reserved them last week and tried to work out of finances were available to buy. If not, then they are passing them on to other users.

I reserved one for my cousin as I knew he was looking but he got one himself. So I have it to another boardsie.

Sometimes when they're out of stock you can reserve them for when they come back in - this does seem to be very hit and miss though. It's only ever worked for me twice - it may of course be browser related or something like that.

Likewise, sometimes you can reserve an out of stock item in store for when it comes back in.

Any uncollected reserved items usually (but not always) come back online about an hour after the store closes so you just have to be quick and lucky in those circumstances!

Can anyone that has optimised the picture settings share the settings?

I have messed around with brightness, sharpness etc.

I have the main picture setting on Vivid. Seems to be the most crystal clear of all the settings.

Tried reserving one as it said they'd have stock to collect in the store near me later in the week.

I got a reservation email with no reservation number in the subject line, didn't get a text either.

Does this mean they have no stock of it?

I got the same,did you get any more information.

In case people don't know.
To enable HDR.
Go to settings, display and go to HDMI ultra hd deep colour and enable the HDMI that you want to use.
Only found out this the other day

Does any one have a code for South County Dublin/City centre? Finally talked my wife over to this but now its out of stock everywhere :sad face:

Got the following e-mail from customer services:

"I do apologise, this is most likely a system error. The reservation will have auto cancelled at midnight on the the 4th. If you can provide us with your chosen store and the catalogue number we can perhaps re-reserve it for you"

This was 3 days after sending my email and I had since got a code so didn't chase it up.

I did ring them before I e-mailed them but they only advised calling the store which I did, but they were answering so I gave up.

Forgot to mention that it's recommended to turn off local dimming also.

Anyone happen to have the quick setting I can disable/modify to get rid of the old "soap opera" effect ? I think it's to do with motion processing and I want to just disable and get the more natural look...

Do all these new TVs need a sound bar?
From what I have seen, the sound without one is appalling.

fmul9798

Nice - I wonder if it's the same panel? saw it at the weekend in local Currys. According to the LG site it has the HK speakers and magic remote - all other specs aside from this area are identical, and they look the same at the rear.
Great price from Argos at an effective 509 at the weekend with the 10 euro off back (which I got to use anyway).
Magic remote seems to be in the £40 range too.

Most flat screens these days too. they are getting to thin to be able to put decent speakers in them!
