Thanks, I'll give it a try!
Blackwiggle did his calibration when his set was only a couple of weeks old and he was complaining of an absence of red. I advised that the tv would need to be allowed several weeks to settle in - because the colours on mine shifted for ages. He was going to do another calibration later but never did (at least not posted on the forum).Just shows how wide ranging these TVs are..... I have a 50" model and all the settings given by blackwiggle etc have Warm 1 as the preferred colour temp but warm 1 on my set is very very creamy rather than white. To get a brilliant white I have to use the blackwiggle settings but with normal rather than warm 1 and even then when it's with true cinema mode it has a slight cream tinge to it.
For HDR I use either Dynamic with warm 1 with a couple of slight tweaks or the custom option with warm 1 or normal which is then tweaked to be similar to Dynamic but with the ability to unlock the locked options within the picture settings that are unavailable in dynamic mode.
Neither of them has a blue cast unless I change colour temp to cool.
Great :0)So I've put your recommendation in under the cinema preset and the pictures great. Still lots of pop and great colours . I always use War for the Planet of the Apes as my reference disc simply because of the diversity of colours and shades. Deep deep blacks in the caves with bursts of great HDR. Then warmy sunset colours followed by the snow scenes. And this is where the Cinema set you described shone.
Flicking between my Dynamic mode settings and Cinema revealed very little differences in the darker scenes. The sunset scenes equally very much the same. But the snow. You don't there is a blue tint until you compare it to the cinema settings. Huge difference and shows how off the white balance is on this tv. So big thanks here. If you could amend white balance on dynamic mode I'm convinced you would get an identical looking picture.
I have to use Warm1 as my colour temp. Warm2 is too warm and orangy and I'm not a fan of the cinema tint that's recomended. Normal is okay for some settings but as mentioned above each panel is different.
But again, big thanks .I think I've finally got the image I want .
I'll check it. Not using tv's PLEX it bad implementation sound-wise.Anyone else finding that the PLEX app ill not login on the tv?
All other devices are working and PLEX has been working fine on tv until now - just a string of different errors trying to connect. Network is fine.
Have uninstalled and re-installed - but no difference.
When you set up the player were you going through the amp? And does the amp support 4k? If not, the player would downscale the signal to an sdr signal. It will have created the profile in setup, so it needs to be changed through the player's setup.So I've had this TV for awhile now and never really settled with the settings but anyhow, I'm having an issue with the settings for UHD HDR between the TV and a UB300.
When pressing the playback info button on the ub300 while playing a 4k disc, it tells me it's a 10bit source, HDR, 4:4:4 and all sounds like it should. But for the HDMI it says 8bit, 709, 4:4:2 (I think) and SDR. Now I'm not a massive geek sadly so the 4:4:4 stuff is kinda lost on me but I don't understand why it still says SDR or 709 as I've managed to get the settings on the TV so they're at 2020 Also when I press the HDR button on the UB300 it tells me it'll only bring that option up when playing a HDR disc. Which I have been doing.
I've fiddled with all kinds of settings, the TV says Dynamic (HDR) as it should while a HDR source is in. I've even bypassed the amp totally just to eliminate any problems there while I try and at least get the picture right between the ub300 and the TV. Any ideas?

Your cable should be hdmi 4k compatible also: HDMI 2 spec.
HDR is only possible through hdmi 1 or 2 inputs on the tv.
If you run your player directly into HDMI 1 and run the setup again, it should handshake with the tv and give you HDR.
On the tv ensure hdmi auto setting is on mode 2 and hdmi setting is set to on, on your hdmi input.
Run the easy setup from the player then check your settings are set for hdr playback. It should automatically give you the settings compatible with your tv.
Only thing is to make sure the Denon has HDR passthrough on in the settings. I have a 2400 and when I plugged in my Xbox one S, HDR mode was not activated on the amp. It had to be turned on in the settings .
Also check to make sure the HDMI input on the Denon is 4k compliant. Some may not be.
Hi all
Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a spare screw from for the ex750 stand due to the currys technician rounding the screw Currys do not have any and panasonic do not send them out either which sounds bizarre. It is a black screw that attaches the stands backplate to the TV. It has 2 little washers on and there is 4 in total. I am losing the world to live.
Thanks in advance

My HDMI CEC/ARC stuff seems to have gone missing all of a sudden. I'm no longer getting the "Home Cinema" option in the TV sound menu and the CEC control of my kodi box is no longer working. The HDMI cables are all well seated.
The last time this happened I had to factory reset the TV to get it working again. I don't really want to continue doing that though, as I'll lose all my settings.
Will I miss anything (from the Netflix / Amazon apps) if I use an optical cable between TV and Amp, rather than ARC?
