Re. LG Oled and AV Receiver

KevMac68

I've decided its time to upgrade from Kuro to Oled and been looking at the Lg 65" B7
Do you price match your sister site richersounds.com as its got a fantastic deal on televisions with a world cup promtional code
https://www.richersounds.com/lg-oled65b7v.html?nosto=nosto-page-product3
Im also looking to purchase an Av receiver and been looking at the Denon x2400. Is there much of a difference in quality between this and the yamaha 583 and how much of a step up to the sony 1080 and yamaha 683?
What would be your best price combos for the tv and av receivers(incl.extended warranty)??
Thanks.

Hi KevMac68.

I did the same at Christmas just past and went from Kuro to the 55B6. Totally worth it!

We do indeed offer the same pricing as our .co.uk site.
The 65B7 is currently priced at £2399.00 with our WC10 world cup 10% off promo dropping it to £2159.10. Including our 6 year guarantee free of charge.

The 2400 has been the most popular and is very well reviewed. It also at a great price coming in at £299. Its listed as an instore only collection but if purchased with the TV I can allow for it to be shipped. 6 year super care on this would be £29.90

The Sony 1080 is also a great receiver and 5 star reviewed in What HiFi priced at £417.00. 6 year for this would be £41.70

Both the Sony and Denon are very similar. The Denon does have the advantage of having the Heos system built in which allows for multi room options via the Denon Heos products.

The RXV683 is now finished and no more stock arriving.

The RXV583 would not be on the same par as the 2400 or the 1080. The 583 is priced at £289.00. 6 year supercare priced at £28.90

For the 65B7 and AVRX2400+ 6 year supercare - £2488.00 Delivered.
The 65B7 and STRDN1080 = 6 year supercare - £2617.80 Delivered.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi KevMac68.

I really have no further movement on that pricing. 
The TV is already heavily discounted with the WC10 and the 2400 is also already reduced to the £299 just two days ago.

KevMac68

Fair enough Kenny.I appreciate you would move on the pricing if you could.
Nice to hear someone else has made the move from Kuro to Oled.Did you see much of a step up?
How are brightness levels and reflecrions as it will be replacing my Kuro in a a brightly.lit room??
Any issues with image retention??
Thx

Hey KevMac68.

OLED was the only option after having the Pioneer for 10 years and taking this long to find a worthy replacement. 
The B6 is a little dark but the B7 series corrected this.

I have had no issues with image retention and am a big gamer so plenty of health bars and speed dials static for long periods of time and nothing.

There is a slight reflection but nothing compared to the plasma.

The OLED was 100% worth the purchase.

Ok Kenny thanks.
Yes the 2400 arrived safely yesterday.Obviously different couriers being used as I received plenty of communication leading up to the delivery of the AVR incl.a time slot but have received zilch from the couriers bringing the television; and on the back of the previous delay and the fact I have taken today off to receive delivery and set it all up im starting to get a little bit edgy

Hi Kevin.

I do apologies for the original delay on the television. We have to use a different courier for television unfortunately due to their size and how expensive they are.

We have spoken to our courier (Countrywide) just now and they have confirmed that they will be delivering the TV to you today around 5pm.
They have also said they will drop you a call an hour before they are due to make the delivery.

You will be over the moon once you are up and running.

Hi Kenny/John/David

Jusr a quick update to say that the oled is first class.

From the magic remote to the tvs internal apps its a seemlessly smooth and userfriendly experience.

But that picture!!  Stunning when fed a good source.

The inky blacks and super bright whites(post manual calibration..a minor few tweaks) give it such a contrast that the picture is almost 3d like at times.

Wimbledon and the World Cup via the inbuilt bbc iplayer app 4k hlg broadcast was fantastic and a sign of things to come

I have ithe tv teamed up with an Apple Tv 4K/unraid nas combo all fed through the denon x2400 and ive finally got my cinema room back again!!

Thanks again for sorting!!

Here are a few useful tips, settings and reference video links ive come across that may be of use to other lucky oled owners..

Thanks for the information KevMac68.

They really are something else and worth every penny :)

I will have to have a read over the links and try a few on these on my own one.

Hi KevMac68,

Great to see someone enjoying such super kit !

I've copied your post to the Video Display section of the Home Entertainment forums ( https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057893311 ) for the benefit of readers/posters there, other Boardies may have their own experience, settings etc to share.

Now that you've got sorted I'm closing  this thread - feel free to open a new thread if you want to come back to RS for any advice etc (or a new deal !)

Cheers,
