That’ll never happen not in 1 billion years. Every TV should have a thing though you’re 100% correct. I think it’s a tough cell for people people want cheap TVs, right? Our community is an outlier. Most people are not buying an LG G4 or other top-tier model they’re buying the mid model that’s how marketing works. Show people a low price one high price one and a mid price one and they buy the mid price one. That’s marketing 101.
@@michael-4k4000that's kinda true. I can't really afford a 3000 dollar tv, don't want a 400 dollar tv. But i did find a decent tv for about 650. At least when I looked on amazon the 65 inch G4 was 3 grand.
I have a LG G4 77 inch in a normal bright living room and the brightness setting is set between 20-50, maybe 60 in rare sunny conditions. Set it above that and your eyes burn out. The brightness war in OLED has become nonsense. Let's focus in picture quality instead. Downside I find of the LG G4 is that the settings menu is slow, way too large buttons. The whole WebOS seems to consist of disjointed screen designs. Sony has this covered much more nicely in their TV's (had an AG9 before). Too bad Sony OLEDs are ridiculously expensive in the Netherlands, so I went for G4 and accepted some compromises.
For the cost of the premium tv, they should put a high end arm cpu in them. Even if it adds another 150 bucks to the price. I don't have a high end tv, I got the TCL q650, and I think would benefit for a slightly faster cpu. You never see the processor specs as part of the marketing. A smart tv with a Snapdragon 8 would be really nice.
@@pedroarquitectura No the G4 is far superior to C4 regarding screen and processing. I've got a problem with how somehow LG manages to make a premium TV feel cheap. The OS feels disjointed and slow. It's like Windows 8 and 10 where you have different design patterns throughout the system. The remote is also cheap (eg no backlight) and it's time to ditch the pointer functionality (never use it). The Sony 'premium' in the Netherlands usually was around 700 EUR over an LG or Samsung and I happily paid it. Now that is about 2000 EUR and that's just not justifiable. I'm happy with the G4, but in all fairness the A95L is the king, would be indisputable if it would have 4x HMDI 2.1.
The Panasonic being thicker is not a downside, it's an advantage. The bulkier the chassis, the better it is at absorbing heat from the panel (this is a generalisation). This is benificial for all electronics but in particular for OLED's; whose inevitable degradation is accelerated by heat.
just a reminder, sony motion is terrible for gaming , a95 is not a good tv for gaming. i return mine and get a g3 last years after i play cod for 20 minutes. but have to say the movie experience is impressive
@ Entirely false that Sony motion is terrible for gaming. You must be using artificial motion interpolation on the LG. If you have hardware which can max out the 120hz refresh rate constantly (even new gen ps5 pro can barely do this), then everything is equal. So you are incorrect.

Yeah thats where money comes into play big man 😂 this is never unpartial, you should know that. How can it be on the last place while it has the best upscaling and detail preservation from all.
Panasonic is more impact in colour, contrast, the viewving is a cinema approach ! It's a great manufacturer (I have their old last 3D TV TX-50 DX750F calibrated with my Display 1 pro)
Don't care for crappy speakers and fake atmos in a TV. I want an excellent display to go with my custom audio system. I guess I like component based approach. This way you don't need to upgrade everything when you change one component. But that's just me.. I have a dedicated HT and most people don't. I remember drooling over their old Plasma panels though when it had no "smart" crap.. which I don't use anyways. got a dedicated box for that too. :D I love that it does both HDR10+ and DV though.
If you are in the category high end tv’s, I cant imagine that people are using tv speakers for audio… Thats why the z95a is not my personal choice. That panaonic supports Hdr10 plus (barely content) and DV support is good as you said.. But why no dts is a riddle to me..
@@masomaf Then again, if you have a high end TV you won't be using DTS decoding in TV anyways. as long as you can bitstream via HDMI eARC that's all you need. Nobody uses DTS these days...
So it's way bulkier for no gain, it's heavier, it has only 1 actually usable 2.1 port, it lacks dts pass through, it has a hideous bottom bezel and finally it lacks any meaningful benefit visually all for more money? Man.. Panasonic.. Wth
I think most importantly is the Panasonic is built to last soooo much longer. I can guarantee more robust power supply, this is where modern tvs fail to last a 5-10 years. Yes it’s thinner but thinner doesn’t mean more built to last.
I don't had such good experience with Panasonic I had a plasma model the TC P 42S AND at the second year got a huge strip of colors in the half of the display
I’ve only had one Panasonic but switched it out and know have 3 pioneer plasmas without an issue, those weigh 50 percent more than the equivalent Panasonic. I really do want a tv to last 20 years. My tvs are 15 years old and I’m looking to get a new tv eventually, just know of and see many sets struggling to last 5-10 years, to me tvs are an investment and once you have a good one enjoy it. I do think build quality has suffered with a lot of 4K TVs in terms of longevity.
@@dylankirkpatrick9522 I still have mine since 2010 from Sears here in Boston, LED 42 inches and sound bar included, total, $1,005, soo is was 14 yrs ago, and still going strong!!
Both have oled panels which would likely fail first and LG has the best burn in protection and comes with a 5 year warranty. Most importantly for you is the panasonic brand name and perceived quality it doesn't mean it has any basis in reality.
LG always win in that department but both are oled's so it hardly matters. You wouldn't feel any difference. It's a couple hundreths of a second difference.
I semi disagree. The Panasonic has way better processing and color accuracy. Better sound and more importantly… it has a SUBWOOFER output along with actual DTSX CODEC support (not pass through like LG). 🎉 also the Pana is has more options for hdr/DV. Gaming aside, movie watching and dish/cable watchers should get the Panasonic. Especially for blue ray watchers. 🎉 all in my opinion tho. 🎉 Oh and let’s not forget you sell your soul to LG advertising. 🎉
why would u ever need HDR10+ if u have DV? and i highly doubt it since LG has with Sony one if not the best processor in terms of 3D Detail etc. and if i buy such an expensive TV i dont really care how they sound since TV Sound in general is not great.
@@JulianRasch-g6v as rtings mentions, the audio in the z95a is on par with g4, with only a slight edge to the Panasonic. Kind of a huge miss with that ugly bulk added to the panel for a negligible audio difference.
Z95A has better sound, not as he said, but picture is comparable with G4, maybe Z95A is slightly ahead, but you don't notice that. Both are very good color calibrated , Panasonic perfect, G4 near perfect D65. Other stuff are usefull, Z95A better remote Control..but for me Z95A was no option anyway, builtin sound doesn't matter, because I have a sound system and I needed wall mount, larger than 65"
it doesn't have "way" better processing. They have pretty equal processing that do different things better than one another and the g4 was more accurate ootb and it's literally measured and shown in the video. Blue ray watchers with DTS should go LG, so anyone with a good sound system. You just like the brand and it's perceived cimenatic purist qualities even when reality of the review says different.
Not only did the z95a finish last at the HDTV shootout it did so by a notable margin. Guess what category the w95a got trounced the most? Video processing. LOL. For enthusiasts a much better comparison.
