People who think it’s too big, have not used it for 2 days for real. New monitor is always weirdly big at first and then you get used to it. I hope 48” model won’t die when 42 releases. I don’t want to downgrade48 inch is perfect. I have C1 LG.
I would not buy a TV in 2021 from a company that already proclaimed its going to stop producing TV in the future and outsourcing production of them. It screams cost cutting and that means not only hardware devision is getting cut down, maybe even firmware / software people. Means feature support and hot fixes could take a hit also, on 2021 TVs.Being primarily interested in a home cinema use, and as a secondary use for videogames, I will always go for Panasonic (in this case, for the JZ1500, which has the same professional panel and electronics of JZ2000 but without the Technichs sound system). Even Vincent's evaluation gives them the best overall image, better near-blacks, color accuracy, and HDR results. They are the absolute best when the digital source has good quality. But for a more varied viewing (for those who use the TV also for TV channels and SD sources), the upscaling and motion handling necessary is better on Sony's.
Why is that? Because it doesn't align with your opinion?This.
Also HDTVTest (and anyone else that would recommend a sony tv this year) is a joke. For honest coverage, I stick with Thetechgiant/QUANTUM TV
Quantum tv is a shitheel who has no idea what he's doing.This.

Even if that would be the case (and it's all speculation, for now, since it could be simply cutting costs on labor, while continuing to pursue technology development), that doesn't affect this year panels at all, being them the best out of there at this precise moment. Things MIGHT change in the coming years, but I'm purchasing the TV now, so in this moment it's possible to get the highest level they have reached.I would not buy a TV in 2021 from a company that already proclaimed its going to stop producing TV in the future and outsourcing production of them.

There is already ramblings that some bugs aren't even acknowledge from Panasonic's side. Something LG has been super great about (released a new fix today I think) and Sony at least vaguely communicates this stuff.Even if that would be the case (and it's all speculation, for now, since it could be simply cutting costs on labor, while continuing to pursue technology development), that doesn't affect this year panels at all, being them the best out of there at this precise moment.

Price is obviously a significant matter. I got the Panasonic oled 55JZ1500 for 1800 euros, which is only some hundreds more than a C1, and considering that I will probably keep it for at least ten years (I used the plasma for 15 years), a difference like that is insignificant, compared to the possibility to enjoy the marvel of an high fidelity image. It's been a long evaluation. At the moment I could not find anything better for what I'm looking for. There's no perfect TV that it's better than every other TVs on any feature. But accordingly to what you look for primarily, there are some.The best models are way too expensive imo. Just get a C1 and save a thousand bucks lmao.
We will not tolerate any Chinese Harry Potter slander! You show respect to my mans, Vincent!This.

After a year looking at reviews from all the possible magazines and technichans, nothing serious of that kind came out (even in stress tests), so it's either a very specific issue, or it's due to yeld problems of some units. In general, Panasonic is famous to put in their TVs only what works, and they work. And if there would be a bug, that would be easily fixed by a firmware update.There is already ramblings that some bugs aren't even acknowledge from Panasonic's side.

With sets like these support should be its own dedicated metric. And I love Pana, been rocking a Pana Plasma for the last decade before I got the A90J.

That is the unanimous result of the various analisys these TVs have had. How would I trust random users more than the complete tests of experts? There will always be users with some problem.
Yes, sometimes daily use brings out peculiar problems that standardized tools don't reveal. One of that was the frameskipping issue, that appears to be fixed at least on 2000 and 1500.Unfortunately experts tend to overlook some obvious things. For example I'm pretty sure that Vincent was the only one among popular reviewers who noticed severe color banding in 4k@120 mode on new Sonys (now fixed/improved).
When it comes to Panasonic, they never fixed frameskipping issues on older models (it was a serious problem before GZ series), as well as TV-led Dolby Vision frameskipping on HZ series. Both of these issues were completely ignored by most reviewers (!). Vincent did mention them in his reviews, but he brushed them off as being almost impossible to notice. Well, some users were disappointed to find out that it's more serious, including me (I had 2 different Panasonic HZ OLEDs).
Is Dolby Vision best avoided on Panasonic OLEDs?
Sorry, this will be long. I hope people find it useful. A few quick points. This post isn’t about Dolby Vision IQ, which should be avoided due to undefeatable processing. This is about Panasonic’s wider DV implementation. I have a 55HZ1500 and Panasonic 820 BDP. All firmware is up to date. I’d...www.avforums.com
I’d argue relying on any platform’s internal apps is a big mistake. I have a cheap TCL 5 series from 2017 that I love, despite it not being great in the PQ department, and have really enjoyed Roku OS. However, in the last year the updates have rendered the OS slow and bloated, and while it will be supported longer than your Samsung or Vizio TV, one day the updates will stop.
Going with a high end TV, the internal apps are irrelevant. I like being able to plug whatever modern box into an input and not be tied to an old OS running on an aging smart TV with whatever wimpy processor the manufacturer included.
Sometimes. Sometimes he's right though whilst others are shilling. I 100 percent agree with him on how much of a backstep 2021 Sony sets are, where others don't call Sony/Samsung out.Quantum tv is a shitheel who has no idea what he's doing.
1300 for the 55 is it. If it goes down further in the return window, get it price adjusted.is the LG C1 gonna go down in price anymore next week u think? Or is it what its at rn, about it
