But that's exactly the point. It's not a little extra, it's a lot extra. The review does say that an LG B7/C7 OLED is almost twice the price, not a little extra.Wasn't expecting this review! Must be similar in performance to Cello/Ferguson/Goodmans.
If you want OLED, it's better to spend the little extra and go for an LG or Philips.

Yes, non-adjustments will not bother most people (who don't adjust their existing sets anyway)!Exactly my point. This set will give the opportunity to many who believed that Oled was out of their price range the ability to have one. The fact that it cannot be adjusted will be irrelevant to the majority so won't be a negative in the most part.
It has to be said - WOW! As a main/lounge TV this looks like being the best option if you only have a grand or so.

I could not agree with you more about the Sony Android system, thinking also of my Sony 75W855C television that is currently on a year's holiday in the hall ....It also shows Sony up regarding their implementation of Android OS. If these guys can get this working well on an OLED for 850 quid it makes a mockery of their £1000 LED TVs that run slow.
In TV terms, I wouldn't call it a lot extra (LG OLED on sale is around 1399). If I was only able to spend the amount of the electriq I would go for a high end LCD anyday. Can you imagine the quality/longevity of the capacitors etc in this new brand?!But that's exactly the point. It's not a little extra, it's a lot extra.

Sony's system seems bogged down by all the extra crap they add in on top of it. Scrolling through the running apps reveals a ton of Sony-specific stuff competing for CPU time. Even the volume control is an app. I'd guess that electriQ's barebones approach rather helps it here, since they'll be running a lot less bloatware even if the hardware is similar.Was expecting this set to get 5/10. Surprised they got Android working on it smoother than Sony, probably has even more ram as well.
You can't get a "high end" 55" LCD for £850 though. Even a higher mid-range set that could begin to compete in terms of basic things like black reproduction, such as the Sony XE90, costs £150 more at clearance prices. For £850 you're looking at a fairly basic edge-lit model with column-based local dimming at best. It may have more accurate colours for SDR, but it's also going to be massively-compromised in other areas of picture quality where this OLED excels. As always, it would seem like a toss-up to me depending on what you value more, but I'd certainly take this over an edge-lit LCD if that was the choice, personally.In TV terms, I wouldn't call it a lot extra (LG OLED on sale is around 1399).

As indeed would I, for 850 notes. I've never had an OLED, but then, I've never had an edge-lit LCD - and I'm not about to start now.You can't get a "high end" 55" LCD for £850 though.

It was tested. 62ms.damn shame input lag could not be tested.
A7??Right now I'd say the LG A7 is better value though if you want better calibration controls and more accuracy out of the box.
