    This is a bit better than any of LGs OLED TV's as it has 1000 nits peak brightness compared to 800, which helps with HDR immensely! Wide colour gammat and upscaling is about the same. This TV doesn't have Dolby Vision but that's basically just a marketing gimmick for now anyway as you need 4000 nits brightness and a 12 bit panel to see the features of it. No TV will have those specs for at least 3 years. Future proofing is one thing but selling a technology you can't even use is just ridiculous! Keep in mind that OLED still does have permanent burn in happen (occasionally). In my view OLEDs still need a few more years to iron out all their faults (burn in, brightness, upscaling, motion and judder) compared to something like a Sony X900e which has 99% blacks of the OLED and does everything else better. Not quite worth the price gap!

    • Dolby Vision but that's basically just a marketing gimmick

      no, not a gimmick even with current screens. DV determines peak brightness dynamically (per scene) whereas HDR it's static (per programme).
      The main disadvantage for DV is that its metadata stream is optional on 4K Bluray disks, representing additional expense (to de facto mandatory HDR10) and hence likely to be excluded.
      Besides, peak brightness requirements for HDR are different for LED and LCD screens. OLED is unlikely, ever, to match brightness of LCD-based backlight, and hence has lowered requirement. QD, of electro-luminescent variety, may match LCD backlight.

      • Dolby Vision and HDR actually lessen the brightness to up the contrast so you can see the colour difference more (That's why you need higher brightness). So you lose out on so much detail lost in the dark scenes and shadows. Not really worth it right now. This technology needs years to improve… That's not true about per scene adjustment and per program - Dolby claims to do it by frame (doubtful) and HDR does it per scene. Not a great argument about OLED vs LED brightness! It's like saying we can't achieve LED specs so we're handicapped. Lessen the bar so we can have a go. HDR/Dolby is about peak brightness and a wide colour gammat (BT2020) both they get beaten by LED TV's. I think OLED will take over eventually but they need a while (at least 3-5 years) to sort out all their faults

        • That's not true about per scene adjustment and per program - Dolby claims to do it by frame (doubtful) and HDR does it per scene.

          Wrong! HDR10 "uses SMPTE ST 2086 "Mastering Display Color Volume" static metadata to send color calibration data of the mastering display, as well as MaxFALL and MaxCLL static values, encoded as SEI messages within the video stream" Wikipedia; and then…
          "Maximum Frame—Average Light Level (MaxFALL) is additional static HDR metadata that corresponds to the highest frame average brightness per frame in the entire stream. Maximum Content Light Level (MaxCLL) is additional static HDR metadata that corresponds to the brightest pixel in the entire stream." HDR-10 metadata SMPTE ST.2086
          Entire stream is the programme.

        • RIGHT… You obviously haven't heard of HDR1000! Which is encoded at 10000 nits brightness and is custom made… Right now there are a few for downloads which take better advantage of the BT2020 colour scheme. Look into it! Some encoders are doing frame for frame detailing. It kills any UHD bluray disc! Sorry to kill off the dream of your precious Dolby Vision

    • I think only Sony X9300E or X9400E can do 99% blacks of an OLED. X9000E has only 70-80% quality of X9300E/X9400E IMO.

      • I've seen the X9300e and have the x9000e. Blacks are better on the 9000e as it has full array local dimming and is backlit where X930e is edgelit. Owned a LG B6 which I returned and the blacks compared to the new Sony are unnoticeable during movies,tv. Only time was when its a loading screen for video games I could see some light banding even that was marginal. But because the Sony does everything else better. It's a no brainer to pick over the OLED.

        • The 75" 9400 is Direct LED (standard price seems just under $7k). The 55 & 65" 9300 are edge LED.

    $6K for a TV, I could buy 4 x iPhones 8's for that.

      Not sure which is more ridiculous.

        You could buy a really decent car for $6K haha

    • Have fun sticky taping your 4 iPhones together to watch a movie. Lol.

      Nice, with this break down of the winner per category:
      Best TV of 2017: Panasonic EZ1002 OLED
      Best Gaming TV: LG B7 OLED
      Best HDR TV: LG B7 OLED
      Best Living Room TV: Sony A1 OLED
      Best Home Theater TV: Panasonic EZ1002 OLED
      (Noting that I am fairly sure that all the OLED panels listed are made by LG anyway, just different tech driving each for their respective brands)

        Basically pick your favourite brand of OLED and you'll be convinced you got the best one. It's splitting hairs between them.

        • +2

          Oh no, I reckon each have their benefits. Sony A1 have the sound and best upscaling. Panasonic have the best colour. LG have….maybe the OS (from what I've read). Not sure if this model Panasonic is worth paying so much more than the 950 or LG C7. Or the Sony A1 either.

          It's a shame there's only one source for OLED panels - no competition to lower prices.

  • Almost 12,000 Myer One points. $65 delivery if you can't click and collect.

    $20.80 away from Gold Status as well…

  • Can anyone who buys this tv confirm whether it has a pixel by 4 pixel integer scaling mode?

    A bit more to read up on this unit (Called EZ1002 in the region where they have reviewed this OLED) https://www.avforums.com/review/panasonic-tx-65-ez1002b-ez10…
    Tempting :-)

  • We were buying this for my 80 year old mum :-), when we asked our local Myer store about delivery time, they advised that Myer does not currently have stock of the units, but you can buy at this price now, and get it in a month or two (Western Australia store). We tried at our local JB's (They said they had no stock and could not guarantee that we would get the unit within the next two months, back orders of the unit from July)and they said they would match the Myer price, include delivery and also provide a 3.5 year warranty (The TV only has a one year warranty in Aus, unlike their UK Panasonic distributors who provide this TV with a 5 year warranty).

    We actually ended up finding a store that has more than just the display model, and that is Harvey Norman at Osborne Park (3 in stock). They did not provide any extra warranty over the one year, but did throw in free express delivery. We ordered it in store yesterday at 2pm, and when we got home we already had a tracking link showing that our TV was 20mins behind us, on the freeway heading our way (We had it and unpacking the MASSIVE box by 2.40pm).
    They were not over happy about matching the Myer price as Myer do not have stock, but they did end up matching it anyway, then delivered it within an hour of us buying it. That is a great service in my opinion.
    P.S West Coast HiFi in Joondalup also said they had stock, they would match the price as long as Myer have it on sale, but delivery was extra.
    Thanks OP, this TV is amazing, maybe we should have given my mum our old TV :-), she was very confused about having two remotes for the unit (A Bluetooth touch-pad remote and a full remote).
