    OLED longevity is still a huge issue (for buyers that is, not for manufacturers).

    I got lg oled (not the 4k one) and the picture is excellent cannot fault it. Bit pricey but if you can afford the £1800 its worth it. I was thinking 4k and nearly bought it but had a think and couldn't justify the extra £1500 atm as there is limited 4k content atm. Tbh I don't think you will see too bigger difference in 4k the picture is crystal clear

    I have no doubt it is. As I said OLED is the future. Black is really black and hence contrast ratio is excellent.
    But: the OLED display deteriorates very fast over time. That's why I say it is the future (and will remain so, until this has been fixed).
    Obviously manufacturers don't advertise the very short longevity of their displays....

    I just picked up a stop-gap in Argos, the LG 50LF652V for £579 so can't go too wrong for now..

    When things with 4K/OLED get ironed out I will fork out for a premium TV!

    Thanks for all the input guys

    In Aldi today, they had a 4K TV for €399. Probably shit components, but not bad as a stop-gap?

    Well, in general, stuff sold by Aldi & Lidl isn't bad at all, not to mention the 3-years warranty.

    Here in their homeland (Germany!) they are not well known for quality (probably the opposite, although they have had some Medion products that were better) .... But in UK they seem to try harder.
