It's been discussed a bunch of times in this thread. The stock base is annoyingly deep as the TV sits near the front of the base - a good 40 cm away from the back edge. So if you want to put it on a desk you should either wall mount, get an ergotron HX (if your desk is relatively sturdy), or aftermarket TV stand. Lots of people have used the Fitueyes (off of amazon) or Sanus VTVS1 - these allow the TV to sit flush with the back of your desk.

Thats where I managed to order from last nightNot sure anyone noticed, but this went in stock yesterday at JL around 8pm and sold out around 12pm. I cancelled my Curry's order and got one from there instead with Protect Plus. It said 55 had been bought when I bought one of the last 3. So probably had around 60 in stock. They go really fast from JL! I hope I'm not going to regret it if prices drop in a few weeks due to BF (I can't see that happening though unless it's Curry's which seems to have infinite stock). I had signed up for JL notifications on this so I recommend doing the same if you want one w/ the burn in protection. I also got the 100 e-gift card and the FN4 earphones for free.
I thought the headphone promo stopped on John Lewis and was replaced with the voucher? Doesn't show on the product page
No you still get both but cant claim the voucher until the 7th Dec just use the code for the headphones
I think yesterday was the last day for the FN4 promotion.
It finished a midnight

I found reviews on amazon of the fitueyes stand (or a clone) breaking - one review had pictures showing the glass shattered. So I call BS on the 40kg
Here is one example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/custome...ef=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B075FN4GH5. It's not the fitueyes, but looks basically identical with "8mm tempered glass supporting up to 40kgs". 9 months of stress and the entire base exploded. TBF it could have been over tightened bolts on the glass base.
Yes that's the image I have seen on amazon tempered glass breaking, if you buy a 55inch oled the weight of that is 19.5KG and 65inch is 32KG, I wouldn't take a risk on what Fitueyes claims it can hold and there is no 100% guarantee label on tempered glass, also if you claim your TV base stand break do you think Fitueyes honour that guarantee! NO they might evening blame you for over tightened bolts on the glass IMHO
if people what to take a risk with what Fitueyes and other copies claims than more fool them, and spending £1,500 on an OLED TV and then only pay for the most cheap of TV stand on market is not a smart move.
What you pay for is what you get

The other weird thing is the base is about half the size of the Sanus one, yet it claims to hold twice as much weight. Yeah I have my doubts about it
. Seems like a few people here have it without a problem however.

[QUOTE="nvarsj I also got the 100 e-gift card and the FN4 earphones for free. [/QUOTE]
Very lucky to get both, you could sell both on flebay for just under 200 to recoup some cost from insurance and tv, it was me who got JL to fix their website error otherwise no one was able to even add the FN4 earphones with the CX TV, even then they still did not thank me or provide the FN4s despite their mistake,
a bit poor service considering its JL but ho hum I only care about the cover.

Is burn in protection standard or do you have to buy their protect plus policy please?
You have to purchase it.
Is that after you buy it? There doesnt seem to be an option to add burn in insurance just the protect plus policy?
