Panasonic releasing an OLED with 4K and HDR in October and 65-inches!

Its not how much blacker it is Gel - its the transitions from black to grey that they have improved.

Thats how I understand it and is generally what a calibration does to a tv in my experience.

The LG's supposedly crush low level greys by not coming out quickly enough I think - hence the solid black then colour look.

I have found the expensive Sony LED tvs to be similar there is just solid black in patches where there should be gradiant.

I could be wrong in this assumption - that is how I read the spiel - happy to be if someone has better info - they normally do

yes you are correct, it's not just about the blacks. From the interview with Panasonic and Steve withers, they were keen to get across they had improved shadow detail to perfection like they've never been able to do before and show the detail that was crushed in black/dark scenes.

An interesting read about this TV on Reviewed.com saying that the panel is only 8 bit but the processing is 10 bit - surprising!

What does that mean gel it will or will not dosplay full uhd spec of 10 bit?

People on AV reckon it's false information. *smile*

 

[Deleted member 2457]

After doing some more searching most people are saying its 10-bit but another confirmation would be useful.

 

[Native_bon]

It is a 10bit panel for sure.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

It is a 10bit panel for sure.

Cheers.

Link now active, not sure what I think to this review.

Risk of burn in too. Not exactly a glowing review yet.

 

[bigboss]

Yes, risk of screenburn is heightened with HDR as panels have to be brighter. I will wait for a while until we get feedback from actual users.

So does this potentially make HDR a no go for gamers?

 

[ellisdj]

HDR is only brighter in areas at times - its not the whole screen being brighter all the time so unless you pause the TV on a certain bit for several hours you should be ok with that function

Right now there is next to nothing in HDR to watch anyway - I think its being sold probably before its ready - but that is not uncommon now is it

It's part of 4K standards. So if 4K TVs are being sold now, they should include HDR.

There will be films and programmes which will overuse HDR inappropriately just like what some do with 3D technology.

OLED panels are organic and have a finite life. Would HDR shorten their life? Only time will tell.

So after spending 4 hours with it they concluded the LG 65eg960v was still the reference TV! Flipping heck, I thought this was suppose to be the holy grail? *biggrin*

No HDR out of box what does this mean for the panel bit? 8 bit or 10 bit?

No HDR out of box what does this mean for the panel bit? 8 bit or 10 bit?

Nothing. It simply means an update is forthcoming which will make it HDR capable.

I don't do updates so that is me out.

For £8000 or even £2000 I would want it to come with HDR out of the box. I have done updates before on Blu-Ray players but never TVs. I did it once and it made the picture worse on a Panasonic 50V20.

 

[bigboss]

In what way did the picture become worse? I've updated my VT65 (formerly yours) twice so far. No issues.

Remember that 50hz issue? It was that.

People generally post their exeriences of updating on forums such as AV forums. Wait for others to update first before doing it yourself.
