I'm ready to buy this panel in 65 inch, it's obviously a fantastic TV but is there anything else I should look at before buying? Probably going to go with richer sounds for £1990 with their 5 year warranty. Is there anything that is much better for £2000 or there abouts?

I don't think you will be able to update the OS to v23 when it's released next year, which may impact it's SMART functions.

One consideration is that from 2020 none of the LG OLED range (I’m not sure about LED) support DTS in any way not even pass-through.

Not a huge problem for most people, but for instance if you have a 4K player/device (PS5, XBox X or dedicated player) and plug that via HDMI 2.1 directly into the TV then if you have a lot of Blu-Rays your Audio out options to an AV-Amp/Soundbar will be stereo.
Obviously if you have a HDMI 2.1 capable Amp or Soundbar you would plug the device into that and won’t have a problem.

I believe the Sony OLED’s don’t have this (self inflicted by LG) issue.
That said I absolutely love my 65” C1 and I’ll just get a 2.1 Amo later this year.
