The GZ1000 range are packed with features including both HDR formats: Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ as well as Dolby Atmos, etc. These televisions are renowned for their image processing hardware with the best colour accuracy and image out of the box.

Vincent from HDTVTest recently reviewed the GZ950 (not available in Australia. The GZ950 has identical picture as our GZ1000. But, our GZ1000 model has better sound speakers and the fancy high end brushed metal remote control with handy light).

Vincent rewarded it: Highly Recommended Best Value Award

Note: These models do not support HDMI 2.1 features that future proof for next generation gaming (i.e. PlayStation 5 and Xbox ‘series X’). If you plan not to play next generation video games on the television, then it’s not an issue for you.

        And these guys don't even deliver to Adelaide metro according to a post below so I guess the stores are back on par.

          When I was going through the checkout I was able to select an SA post code. I didn't go through with the transaction, just wanted to get a quote for shipping to Adelaide.

    How do these compare to the LG C9?

      They Panasonic GZ1000 have the best colour and out of the box picture accuracy compared to LG’s C9. Also they’re the only brand with both Dolby Vision and HDR 10+, very bright and perfect blacks, 2nd only to SONY in motion handling, as well as the only OLED brand that is not plagued with black crushing artefacts. C9 is the way to go if you plan to buy next generation gaming console.

        I heard that Philips Oled TVs support both Dolby and HDR+. Good luck finding a seller though.

    “Note: These models do not support HDMI 2.1 features that future proof for next generation gaming (i.e. PlayStation 5 and Xbox ‘series X’). If you plan not to play next generation video games on the television, then it’s not an issue for you.”

    That’s a very misleading statement; HDMI 2.1 has lots of benefits outside of next-gen-console-gaming. Each to their own of course, but I for one wouldn’t even consider buying a new TV that didn’t support HDMI 2.1 - and I don’t own a console, nor do I have any plans to buy one.

      Please explain the benefits outside gaming then…?

      • ironclad on 26/12/2019 - 18:08

        The extra bandwidth / additional supported video formats if using the TV as a computer monitor. Plus VRR / low latency mode / etc if using it as a computer monitor and playing games. Built-in dynamic HDR. Quick Media Switching. eARC (that’s a particular biggie for some, including myself). Just to name a few…

        • msjb on 26/12/2019 - 18:51

          Thanks for sharing! So, what you’re saying in summary: the benefits are for gaming?

            @msjb: One of the features I listed is specific to gaming; none of them are specific to next generation console gaming, as per your original statement. If you want to be pigheaded about it, no skin off my nose - as long as this series of comments prompts others to do their own research rather than being misled, I’m happy.

    No need to be rude there! But you communicated that my statement was misleading and I was seeking clarity from you.

    Let’s break down your response to my question -

    1. The extra bandwidth / additional supported video formats if using the TV as a computer monitor.
      Question: Please elaborate and name on the additional supported video formats that use HDMI 2.1?
      Question: Are they readily available?

    2. Plus VRR / low latency mode / etc if using it as a computer monitor and playing games.
      Question: Are you referring to these features that are related to playing games?

    3. Built-in dynamic HDR.
      Question: Is this ‘dynamic HDR’ related to gaming? I’ve not heard it for movies like the Dolby Vision and HDR10+..

    4. Quick Media Switching.
      Question: Do you mean ALLM? As ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), which means that the TV switches automatically to Game mode when you load a game.

    5. eARC (that’s a particular biggie for some, including myself).
      Question: This is an audio feature, are there devices that currently support this technology?

    6. Just to name a few…
      Question: Please elaborate! What else about HDMI 2.1!

    Thanking you in advance for your time responding!

      Bluntness is not the same as rudeness, particularly when responding to a snarky, sarcastic comment.

      QMS is QMS, not ALLM. Not entirely sure what relevance current other device support for HDMI 2.1 has to the discussion - my whole point is that buying a HDMI 2.1 capable TV will future proof you for a wide variety of use-cases (not JUST for next gen console gaming - which is, to reiterate, highly misleading).

      Anyway - answers to all your other questions can be found through some quick Googling, if you’re genuinely interested. Whether you are or not, doesn’t change the fact that the features I’ve listed are all well outside the gamut of “features that [only] future proof for next generation gaming (i.e. PlayStation 5 and Xbox ‘series X’)”.

      • msjb on 26/12/2019 - 21:27

        I wasn’t being pigheaded, you decided to rudely make that judgement.
        Seems bandwidth for HDMI 2.1 is essential to gaming for the next generation of consoles.
        As you’ve pointed out, there are some audio advantages to HDMI 2.1 as well. But, HDMI 2.1 is a next generation gaming marvel.
        Sad you refer to handball to Google rather than help me and others with the questions I’d asked..
        I’m still at a loss how my initial statement was misleading.
        A buyer can make their judgement on deciding on their next tellie.
        This post wasn’t designed to downplay HDMI as each individual has their own requirements for their next tellie.
        If you’re a NON-gamer, the GZ1000 OLED televisions are a pinnacle of picture quality at this price point.

          Oh boy.

        • ironclad on 27/12/2019 - 14:56

          You asked me to justify why I thought your original comment was misleading, which is fair enough. I did so, directly, politely and factually. You then responded with a snide and sarcastic comment, followed by a set of leading questions that were angled at trying to support your position rather than engaging in a genuine discussion. Couching things in syrupy language doesn't change intent.

          So, no, I'm not inclined to engage further or do your research for you. If you'd genuinely engaged with the discussion at the start, different story. If you're genuinely interested now, all the info you need to DYOR is in my earlier comments.

          As for the rest of your comment: "This post wasn’t designed to downplay HDMI as each individual has their own requirements for their next tellie." - that's literally what you did, and was why I made my original comment. It wasn't a personal attack nor a comment on the quality of the TV overall, just a simple correction of a specific error for the benefit of anyone else reading. If you'd said HDMI 2.1 may not matter to some but people should investigate before buying, no issue. But you said in absolute terms that HDMI 2.1 ONLY matters if people plan to use a next gen console with their new TV, which is unequivocally incorrect. And I didn't want someone to potentially buy an expensive non-HDMI-2.1 TV based off that incorrect information, hence my original post.

            @ironclad: Although you’ve pointed out an audio benefit, it still doesn’t change that HDMI 2.1 is essential for next generation gaming. Any further questions remain unanswered but thanks for your contribution nonetheless.

              @msjb: "it still doesn’t change that HDMI 2.1 is essential for next generation gaming." - no, it doesn't, and that's an accurate statement. I never suggested otherwise. The problem is/was that you said HDMI 2.1 ONLY matters for next generation [console] gaming, which is 100% incorrect.

                @ironclad: Could you please answer the other questions I’d asked.
                You seem so knowledgeable about all this and it would be sad not to get detailed responses from you rather than getting them from Google. You know what they say Google can be inaccurate.

    Just a heads up for those that may be concerned the lg b9/c9 also supports Dolby vision and hdr10, just not hdr10+.
    Rumour has it most media will switch to Dolby vision since it’s a 12 bit HDR versus an enhanced 10bit HDR.
