While my GZ2000 is one of the most IR/burn-in resistant OLED TV along with other Panasonic OLED flagships that feature some pretty thick heat sink, today's WOLED's simply are pretty much burn-in free nowadays. LG has learned their lesson and have been more conservative with luminance headroom...

It was funny LG was showing their 3100 nits G4 prototype right next to their TV this CES. It was pretty like "Don't buy our G series this year or we will strike you with Buyer's Remorse next year."

What you are experiencing is a motion stutter induced by judder combined with superior response time yet still mediocre motion resolution at the same time. A judder is a serious issue for me on OLED TV gaming as well. A gaming judder is whatever situation game engine's current frame rate not...

It's for forcing HDR10 and SDR (Yes, it also converts SDR) into DVLL (Dolby Vision Low Latency) profile. The HDR10 signal does not not stay the same in DVLL container, it's converted into DTM (Dynamic Tone Mapping, not to be confused with Dynamic Metadata) applied signal so tone mapping is still...

For gaming, both the Micro LED (Samsung the Wall at Toronto Samsung store) and the Dual Layer LCD (Hisense U9E at an electronic mall in Beijing) pale in comparison with my Panasonic GZ2000 OLED TVs. For aiming in Call of Duty, Battlefront, and Battlefield, I tend to sit closer then I usually...

That cost saving was based on Samsung’s old “best case scenario” claim. They eventually ran into trouble with QD color contamination and instead of delaying in for more years, they’ve decided to add 1 more blue OLED stack and color filter which will evaporate any cost savings against WOLED...

It would be not wrong if Samsung is said to be continue producing QLEDs, because QD OLED will also be included under QLED moniker. It’s just a word play by Samsung Electronics who has so far been antagonistic to OLED but now has to make one themselves. Hiding the OLED name will be the best way...

As of now, there are only 3 consumer displays that can truly handle HDR highlights of 1000 nits or more : The Panasonic GZ2000, the Sony Z9D, the Sony Z9G, and the smallest size the Z9D comes in is at 65 inches, the smallest size the Z9G comes in is at 85 inches. Here is a kicker though. The Z9G...

Considering RTings is already spreading too thin, impacting their already mediocre review quality, I hope not. I do feel more wanting with today’s reviews compared to before, as HDTV reviews only needed to think about SDR, but with UHD TVs, there are so many factors to be considered like HDR...

You Z9D owners were excited about a fake HDR game all along?

It sucks being trapped into Dolby’s ecosystem that’s for sure. HDR10 can go up to 10000 nits as per PQ EOTF standard, but realistic maximum is 4000 nits as that’s when banding starts to appear and 10 bit will start to feel inadequate. If HDR10 goes up to 4000 nits, Dolby will simply move up to...

HDR has clawed back APL to right back to where they were. Back in the SDR days, we used gamma, a relative luminance transfer function to display an image. Gamma values were usually set at 2.2~2.4, and if set to lower value, (higher gamma) it would’ve blown out highlight detail, if set to higher...

This is why I kept emphasizing all those wacky zany new techs for LCDs didn’t really have a chance. When I was in China, I was seriously worried about the prospect of China’s premium TV business, it was complete unlike their booming smartphone market. Thus, China went cheap and cheaper, and this...

Especially unfortunately because WOLED already had an roadmap to 4000 nits of peak brightness and IGZO burn in eradication was so near with top emission. Financial woes has engulfed LG and their LCD business wasn’t as strong as Samsung’s to continue providing protection for their OLED business...

I still can’t believe Panasonic will stop selling TVs in Canada. Hope they are ok financially... Now I’m having a serious look at buying the GZ2000. Even though it’s last year’s model, it is still more than enough to defeat consumer Micro LEDs and Dual layer LCDs. No HDMI 2.1 is a big bummer though.
