    Hi Guys,
    I'm very interested in purchasing  the  55 inch LG CX5.(Or GX if that were to drop)
     I have a query whether it will integrate with the Matantz SR5007 which I purchased off you a few years back along with Tannoy speakers. I also have ceiling speakers in the room running off Sonos amp both of which I got from you.. 
    Not sure what to do  for sound. 

    Anyway what is  best price for CX delivered to Killenny and then what would your recommendation re sound setup.. 
    Mainly used for Sky Q and Netflix through Amazon Fire Stick.
    Thanks,
    Corcadorcha

    Hi corcadorcha,

    Thanks for the post!

    The amp will still work with the CX5 for ARC and Full HD passthrough but the specs say it is only HDMI version 1.4 so will not support 4K passthrough or eARC. It also won;t support Dolby Atmos. You can always upgrade the amp down the line if you would like to benefit from these features! In the meantime you can run everything into the TV directly and use ARC for the sound output!

    The best price on an OLED55CX5 would be £1299 or 1449 euro! We do also have our 14 day price promise so if the price drops within 14 days of purchase we can refund the difference if you let us know!

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David

    Hi Cotcadorcha.

    The 55" Sony OLED does have the slightly better picture due to the way Sony tune the set and the tech they use.
    The Sony uses an Android operating system which gives a wider range of apps to LG's own OS.

    It is a tough choice between these two televisions as they are both outstanding.

    The Sony is currently waiting on a restock at our main warehouse which we are chasing an ETA on.

    The CX is in stock and ready to ship.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Any likelihood of a discount for Good Friday on either?
    In leaning towards the Sony as very little in the Cost and if picture is slightly better.
    Can you let me know of eta. 
    Thanks

    Hi Corcadorcha.

    A lot of our Black Friday prices have went live already. We do not get told of ay further reductions until the evening before the event unfortunately.

    We have a 14 day price promise in place to help combat the worry of anyone making a purchase before Black Friday.

    It would appear that the 55A8 has sold out but more are no due to land on the 23rd Nov.

    Hi Coradorcha,

    at the moment the pricing on the LG OLED55CX and the SONY KD55A8 are at our BF pricing - however, as ever we will always react to market pricing across both markets so of course the price may shift at a moments notice as we monitor the market hourly.

    As the guys have said above - we do have a 14 day price promise, so if the price does drop within 14 days of purchase we will refund any difference subject of course to our normal T's and C's.

    We do have lots of the OLED55CX available - the 55A8 stock situation is still tight but we are hoping for redelivery to our main warehouse facility later this week.

    ATVB,

    John Mc & Crew

    Hi corcadorcha,

    Delivery is £6.99 in sterling and it's included in the Euro price.

    If you want we can place a no obligation order for you to let you know when they're available again?

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David

    Hey FFVII.

    DID.ie also say mid December for delivery which would indicate they currently have no stock.

    They also charge 24.99 Euro delivery so our deal works out to be better and you also get an extra years guarantee with ourselves.

    Sorry to hijack the thread but stuck between the Sony and LG myself.. possibly 65 not sure.

    From what I gather that Sony A8 has better picture and sound while the LG is better for next gen gaming. Head is telling me Sony, xbox is telling me LG...is it that simple if your going to game on it (not all the time) the LG is the one to go for.

    Hey Drunkmonkey.

    That seems to be the choice everyone is coming up against.

    Both are out standing but the Sony does have the crisper image even though you think this is no possible.

    Hope you don't mind me hijacking here, but what's the reason the 48 LG CX is higher priced than the 55 LG CX? (£1299 vs £1479)

    Looking for a large PC monitor for productivity and gaming, 48 huge for a monitor, but not unreasonable, 55 I'm not even sure will fit on my desk.
