    Hopefully once Sony and others release OLED the price will come down.

    I can't bring myself to spend more than $2K on a TV.

  • solidussnake on 20/07/2017 - 11:55

    The only downside of panasonic is the horrible smart software and basic remote

          HDR on OLED isn't as bright, it's not just this TV.

        • tetsuma on 20/07/2017 - 15:22

          @Scab:
          Isn't the idea that an "infinite" black depth with OLED means the contrast ratio more or less works? OLED certainly doesn't have the brightness peak levels, but it be pretty.

      basic remote

      You haven't seen bad remotes like my Sony 9300D one, it's symmetrical so you can't tell which way it is in a dark room, and it has these awful and small clicky buttons.

      And the best and biggest buttons are taken up by Google Play and Netflix, neither of which I use, wonder how much these companies pay for remote button placement?

  • jrw282 on 20/07/2017 - 12:24

    55" already sold out online. I can't see 65" listed at all on Myer website. Does anyone know if they sell it in store?

    Good tv but better off with the LG for the same price. LG much better Smart and more refined

      Don't know about their OLEDs, but every LG TV I've seen or used has had sub-par upscaling, and on a 4K TV upscaling is what you'll be mostly watching.

      • reslo on 20/07/2017 - 13:02

        LG supply the OLEDs to both Panasonic and Sony. Its the same panel, only the boards are different.

        • Scab on 20/07/2017 - 13:05

          It's not the panel, upscaling is via software interpolation.

          Sony's upscaling is superb, pretty much flawless.

        • DeWalt on 21/07/2017 - 03:14

          @Scab: "LG's upscaling of full HD content doesn't deliver quite such sharp, detailed results as some rival systems."

          http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/televisions/lg…

          "For starters, its HD to 4K upscaling is mind-bogglingly good. The use of a dual image reference database system - one database focuses on adding detail, the other on removing noise - and some outstandingly clean, crisp motion handling contributes to upscaled HD pictures that get closer to the look of real 4K than those of any other TV brand."

          http://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-bravia-a1e

          If you know TVs, you'll know Sony is superb with upscaling. Scab was right in both instances. If anyone can explain the downvotes, please do…

      • solidussnake on 20/07/2017 - 13:33

        But arent lg the only ones to have dolby vision standard ?? And i thought they are rated hdr 10 ??

        • Scab on 20/07/2017 - 13:38

          Dolby Vision isn't going to take off in my opinion unless more manufacturers start supporting it.

          And OLED HDR is usually about half the brightness of LED TV due to technical reasons.

          From memory, LED HDR certification is 1000 nits and OLED is just over 500.

          I think some companies can get HDR to 700 or so, but it's still not as bright as LED.

        • boredofficeworker on 20/07/2017 - 17:00

          @Scab: Probably not, but why take a chance? The C7T has already dropped below $3000 a few times.

          If I had to choose, personally I would hedge my bets.

          @Scab:

          Why does brightness matter so much to everyone?

          I'm not looking for a freaking tan!

          Seriously though, high-end LED TV's from a few years ago had the brightness of current OLED, so there really is no killer advantage for LED brightness vs OLED brightness, especially when brightness does not give you better picture quality whatsoever… unless you have the tv set up outdoors on a bright day…

          I watch 4K HDR on Netflix on my LG OLED in a darkened room (Netflix is literally the only place I can get any 4K HDR content). Brightness is not even a factor in such a setup.

        • DeWalt on 21/07/2017 - 03:34

          @brotherrfranciz: OLED has a very short longevity on one colour. To give OLED longevity, the units recalibrate themselves to "brighten" dimming pixels. As of about 2 months ago, my tech contact in the industry confirmed this was still an issue.

          When you're talking about upping the brightness through calibration, you will have brightness problems. You most probably won't see it for at least 5,000 hours though. However, I'd hazard a guess that the more you drive dimming pixels, the faster their demise. This could explain why OLED is specced slightly lower than LCD for brightness.

          Having said that, I am impressed with OLED picture quality compared to LCD but I won't spend the extra money. However, most people buy a TV for 5 years or less and your OLED is likely to stay bright for that long. As a 5 year purchase, the cost difference between LCD and OLED is probably $300 a year. Conclusion is that I'm a cheap skate.

          @boredofficeworker:

          Probably not, but why take a chance?

          Because personally I would rather good upscaling than buying a TV just for Dolby Digital.

        • Scab on 21/07/2017 - 07:05

          @brotherrfranciz:

          Why does brightness matter so much to everyone?

          Because HDR looks awesome on a really good screen, go and download LG's own chess HDR demo and watch it on a 1000 nits screen, it looks breathtaking.

          Seriously though, high-end LED TV's from a few years ago had the brightness of current OLED

          But they didn't have HDR, and new top end LEDs come close to rivaling today's OLEDs.

  • Mrbean007 on 20/07/2017 - 12:45

    Word of advice bought a 4k Panasonic red light of death just after 2 years better or getting extended warranty and putting it to 5 years

    • Scab on 20/07/2017 - 12:57
      +1

      You should still be covered under Consumer Law, I would expect a 4K TV to last more than a couple of years.

      And extended warranties don't offer any extra protection over what Australian Consumer Law does.

      • Mrbean007 on 20/07/2017 - 13:05

        It is getting repaired as we speak fingers crossed as it was a good TV both 3d and 4k would be spewing if they cant as i payed extra $250 on the glasses and all the new tv,s dont come with 3d :(

          Are they fixing it under warranty?

          And Sony still make 3D TVs.

        • Mrbean007 on 20/07/2017 - 13:23

          @Scab:
          Yeah there fixing it under warranty tv still has just under 3 years left
          Bought it from dick smith when they had the sale

      • DeWalt on 21/07/2017 - 03:41

        Do you have evidence to back that up? I know some manufacturers will not honour beyond 3 years (unofficially but that's a line in the sand where you're guaranteed a "no").

        Warranties can extend to 5 years. There may not be value in paying for some warranties but I have no evidence that consumer law covers consumers for 5 years. If you've got a reference, I'll willingly change my tune.

        • Scab on 21/07/2017 - 07:00
          +1

          It depends on the product and the amount paid, if you're buying an expensive TV, you would expect it to last a reasonable period.

          "An extended warranty does not replace your rights under consumer guarantees. You may still be entitled to a repair, refund or replacement if a consumer guarantee is broken even when a manufacturer’s or extended warranty has ended".

    Read all of the reviews. HDR on this is well behind the LG and Sony OLEDs. Given that the LG C7 can be had for this price it seem crazy to buy this instead.

        Very very very very few people.
        When I first saw LG's my jaw dropped the picture is soooooo pretty, the blackest black I've ever seen!

    Great deal. Pana and Sony are really dominating OLED quality at the moment, even with LG panels.

    I'm waiting for the 65" TVs. I want one in my cinema (not very big) room.
