Got a GZ950 arriving on Tuesday, is there any tips or tricks I need to know without scouring through this whole thread? I have owned an LG OLED previously if that helps.
Also comes with a Panasonic Atmos soundbar, not bad for £1320 in total
A few things...
When you click the picture mode button on the remote, there are loads of choices. Best to stick to Pro1 for watching in brighter conditions and Pro2 for darker. Often people find Pro2 a bit dark so you can go into the menus and raise luminance (not brightness) from default 30 until you are happy. Mine is at about 45. I wouldn't touch the other values. Note, if you are watching something with dolby vision it has its own modes. Best not to play with those settings. In general the other modes are anywhere from slightly less accurate to wildly inaccurate (especially vivid modes).
There is a way in the options to restrict which modes show when you press the picture button, so only your favourite ones show.
I wouldn't play with many settings unless you really know your stuff, which I don't. The TV is pretty accurate as long as you choose one of those accurate modes.
However, you can play around with IFC, intelligent frame creation.
Default may be MIN. Purists will tell you to switch it off, but you can safely have a play without messing up other settings. It affects motion handling.
If you connect other devices like a sound bar, bluray player etc. make sure you have high speed certified hdmi cables.
Always put the TV into standby, rather than off at the wall. In standby it can run maintenance cycles. These are indicated by the light on the TV being orange. If the light is red, no cycle is running. Best not to turn the TV back on when the light is orange if you can help it.
Also just make sure you have the latest firmware downloaded.
I hope the above are not too obvious.
Good luck, it's a superb TV. Which sound bar are you getting?
