        I'd go for this against the Sony, although the Sony gets all the online rave for its full array backlit, to me in store comparing them side by side the Panasonic looked much better.
        Not sure about the upscaling though since i had my own 4k content.

          1080p/720p upscaling is pretty good on most TVs - friends have Samsung and TCL and I have the 9000e. All other upscaling looks ordinary.

          This is a great deal imo. 9000e cost me a little over $2400 for the 65". This is 75" for not that much more. Without comparing side by side most TVs for most people's situation will look great.

          I have a Panasonic plasma, last of the Made in Japan panels and it is still going after 7 years.

          It is all relative mate. TV is not something you buy every day so spending a little now for something that should last you 8 years on something you will enjoy every day is not the worst way to stretch your budget.

          I was looking at at OLED initially but decided that I could get 90% of the PQ for 40% less and went the Sony. However, probably should have gone a 75" instead of 65" but again 75" in a 9000e was almost twice the price.

        • syousef on 24/04/2018 - 12:03
          -1

          @Craysee:

          Even as a percentage markup $500 is 20% of $2500. That's a significant difference in price. If you want a 75" or it better fits your space, I'm sure many can justify that. But it's not "a little more". It's a fifth more.

      • Zorn on 24/04/2018 - 06:38

        I have the 75" x90e. They are an amazing tv for eveything except for maybe badly compressed 480p and lower. Admittedly the eco system isnt the best but the latest fw update has made some good changes regarding speed. Also, 4k and hdr shine on this ser and if you have a ps4 pro or xbox one x, 4k gaming is superb. Try some youtube 4k nature scenes and the planet earth ii bluray and you'll be blown away.

        • bad hombre on 24/04/2018 - 10:31

          Agree! We only watch Netflix and I play PS4 Pro. Free to air can be hit and miss. Great TV imo.

        Doubt it, they didn't release many tv's with the 'firefox os big promise'.. I find the FFOS/panasonic tv clunky, hard to run files off my NAS (primitave file explorers, limited options etc), no updates for file formats, cant lock certain audio settings.. and a number of other small niggles… got this one after LG fail, then the panasonic failed, then this was an 'upgraded replacement'.. should have requested my money back.. as said, I'll never get another panasonic tv.. probs LG then sammy..
        Edit: No Stan TV app, no foxtel tv app, no updates, ever, as they couldn't give a shi* about all us who have firefox os tv's they supplied…ass&^%es…

      I disagree with you, I'd rather a TV that boots in less than 7 seconds (Firefox OS) but has few apps rather than a TV which takes ages, at least 1 minute, to boot and crashes (Android OS)…
      It's easy to have an external TV box/PS4/Xbox to take care of smarts but you cannot make a slow TV fast.

      • ashpete02 on 23/04/2018 - 22:33

        Fair enough, I suppose if you've experienced super slow boot times it makes sense to care about that an I would find that frustrating too.. you saying some of these new big brand tv's are taking over a minute to even display free to air & audio!? I do have an android box but it's just not as easy and streamlined as it should be.. nor as streamlined as any tv's built in or downloadable apps normally are… I'm not saying an android tv is the way to go, but you'd think with processors these days a TV manufacturer could come up with something half decent.. and in my experience LG was doing pretty well on this front..

        • OpayuOnam on 23/04/2018 - 22:39
          +3

          The Sony at my friend's house shows picture from a cold boot in about 30 seconds, but takes another 30 or so seconds before you can change channel or change source. And annoyingly it doesn't remember last HDMI and always defaults to TV.

          My LG webOS has a 20 second or so to picture from cold boot, but keeps last source and another 10 seconds to be able to change channel.

          TCL I saw in shop with Android took a whole minute to boot and no picture in that time, none android TCL booted much quicker.

          Panasonic/Hisense on the hand were almost instant on and all functions available immediately. I think this feature is extremely underrated…

        • ashpete02 on 23/04/2018 - 22:47

          @OpayuOnam:
          Your right, but this shouldn't be considered a 'feature' in my opinion, i's how a tv should boot… but just FYI my FFOS panny takes probs 10-20 secs to boot.. image and sound are instant but can't change chan, increase or decrease vol or change input for a bit… and for this reason I'd sacrifice this speed for a decent quality file browser with options the tv saved like sorting a list by date or alphabetically…

        • [Deactivated] on 23/04/2018 - 23:11

          @ashpete02: btw what's your panny TV? Interested to know more about it.

          +1

          @OpayuOnam: Those boot times you mentioned are terrible. I agree a fast boot is very underrated - we've never thought about it being a requirement for a TV, but I think once you experience instant boot then it's hard to go back.

          For us it more drove whether we turn the TV off or not. Our previous TV's 10 sec boot was enough for us to just leave the TV on all day. Our new TV boots in 1 sec and goes straight to the last source/app with immediate vol/ch responsiveness, and casting to Chromecast also turns the TV on if it's off, so now we turn the TV off all the time as soon as we stop using it.

          But it's also great to see 75" 3D TVs still around!

          +1

          @particle: this pretty much, and yeah i believe this Panasonic has the wake on LAN feature (cast to YouTube to wake it up).

          Also in this regard I think Samsung is the real winner as the few I tried in store had immediate turn on with channel/volume working and about few seconds later smarts features working, this was the case even from a hard boot when TV was unplugged which really amazed me.

          The reason this is very important for me is i use the TV as monitor for PC and Xbox and I hate for my PC/Xbox to boot faster than my TV (that feeling when windows sound/Xbox welcome sounds is heard but you still cannot see the picture :| ), which happened with a older monitor I had so this feature is on top of my priority list since then.

          @OpayuOnam: I agree totally - I have a 2 year old Hisense and I hate it with a passion as 45 second booth then 45 seconds before you can change channel or volume which means if someone had loud volume the night before you get blasted in the morning.

          Took a chance on a new 4k Hisense (as recommended by ozbargain) just recently and totally solved - boots and channels instantly even though it is much smarter than my old one.

        • OpayuOnam on 24/04/2018 - 16:34

          It depends on the particular model, but generally Android TVs tend to have a very slow boot (think roughly about how long it takes for your phone to boot).
          Some of them are super fast to boot, Samsung Tizen OS is pretty much instant on, then Hisense Opera TV and Panasonic Firefox are almost tie in second place with well under 10 seconds boot, then LG WebOS and from there it is a downfall of super slow boots!

          @JB1: yep, when I got my first "smart tv" a few years ago replacing a 2006 32inch tv, i was so shocked by the step back in speed…
          That old tv changed channels in a whim, turned on instantly. The new LG webOS was comparably slow to boot and change channels, and later i came to realise that webOS is actually one of the faster ones, everyone i know has kind of accepted that TVs are slow… Almost as if we forgot how fast they were.

        • JimB on 26/04/2018 - 12:35

          @OpayuOnam:

          I have a non-smart TV, a 65inch Panasonic Plasma, purchased in 2010. Still working and happy with the picture quality as we watch FTA 99% of the time.

          I'm somewhat glad I have a 'dumb' TV if it means no waiting to watch TV. Although I have a WD Live and Google Chromecast if I want to watch some downloaded contents or YouTube.

          I'm planning on getting another TV soon (75inch or larger) to replace the 65inch Plasma, but I will make sure that I'll turn it off and on to test the boot up time.

        • OpayuOnam on 26/04/2018 - 15:14
          +1

          @JB1: And make sure you break that test into 2 parts:
          1. Cold boot (booting from when unplugged from mains)
          2. Standby boot (booting when turned off by remote)
          As these two can sometimes differ severely, and you ask why should you care about cold boot if it is always plugged? Oh because Android TV (or potentially any smart TV) can get stuck and the only way out is a unplug :)

          Also another small detail which probably not many people would care/notice (I have raised this in OzBargain in the past as well), how hot to touch is the TV, and the showroom floor is the best place for this check since the TV would have been on for a while, example Hisense N7 range HEATS UP and I mean hot to the touch specially in the lower right corner, I raised this to a Hisense rep once and he claimed it is because they use metal in the TV body and it acts as a heat sink (this is a really stupid response as there are other metal TVs that don't heat up)…

        This is just the "inflated" Hz. There are no TVs atm with Panels higher than 100 Hz (is the case with panasonic 7series ). At least this is my knowledge regarding this matter.

        • Diji1 on 24/04/2018 - 03:17

          Correct.

          TVs are either 50/60 or 100/120 - most are 50/60.

    • OpayuOnam on 24/04/2018 - 06:55
      +1

      120Hz panel, maximum input is 60hz. The 120hz i believe is used for 3D (60hz left eye and 60hz right eye)

      200Hz is interpolation…

      Also whoever gets this TV, don't buy expensive Panasonic galsses, these use "Full HD 3D RF" standard so most of Bluetooth glasses will work (not IR ones).
      Also the TV can only view 1080p content in 3D so you cannot send full SBS or full OU image for 3D, you'd have to send it as 1080p signal. Hence the only way to get best quality for 3D is frame packed (certain games and Blu-ray movies only).

    - Heavy AF, can't imagine how heavy the 75 is
    - Colours fade at angles
    - Snappy smart OS
    - No Plex App :(
    - Shares firmware with OLEDs (as its the same processor) - Still waiting for promised HDR10+ update and hooping for MyHome 3.0 to be part of the update
    - Eye watering bright, there is no way I can watch in Dynamic mode with HDR at night

        I will go look at one in store, but the Hisense N7 is cheaper cause the N8s and N9s were just released (although the N7 is arguably a better TV) so you should view their discounts as an end of line thing.

          N8 and N9 are not the same maket as the N7. They are targeted for the higher end market.
          The reason N7 dropped price was for end of line but my point was that it has so much price drop. Remember when the 55inch was above $2k now they're ended $1k…

    Ended up buying last one available I think, went in store and got it for $2,852 with free delivery and installation

      Beat you by $2 but have to wait until Tuesday. Did you set it up yet? What does it look like please?

      • MrThrifty on 28/04/2018 - 11:55

        Delivery booked for Tuesday as well, finally decided to upgrade from 50" Samsung plasma when I saw stock selling out in virtually every store. If you wanted a 4K TV with HDR and the bonus of 3D capability, then this was it. Heavy beast but not planning to move it and happy someone else will deliver and set it up for free

        • beebs23327 on 28/04/2018 - 12:25

          are you kidding me? i am upgrading from my 50 inch plasma as well. it still works and I've been waiting for it to blow up to buy another tv but couldnt put it off any more. my plasma the samsung ps50c7000 has 3d as well but i dont really use the 3d. when i said what i was upgrading from, they said, and after reading reviews as well, that you cant beat plasma for motion. hope i wont be disappointed. good luck with yours. are you keeping the samsung or trying to sell it. i figure its not worth sell for what someone would pay

        • beebs23327 on 28/04/2018 - 12:28

          also, did you compare the specs to the 2018? exactly the same except 2017 has hcx2 processor which may be better than the hcx in 2018. if you look at the pictures, its exactly the same. even the circuit board in the pics has the same numbers. i think we got a good deal

          +2

          @beebs23327: ha ha, bigger step up for me, my Samsung is PS50B550, no 3D, from memory it was entry level to get FHD. Can't fault the Samsung, just wanted bigger as my room will fit 75" nicely. The Panasonic handles motion perfectly, without any issues from what I've read, it's the top spec Panasonic LED with all the bells and whistles, just at end of life cycle which is good for us with price. Keeping the Samsung for kids living room, sick of watching ABC kids in the morning.

    Plex came out for this TV a few days ago, wasn't expecting it.
    All I need is Stan and I can ditch my Mi Box!
