Why don’t you have sky q set to 2160p?I set the sky q box to 1080i unless it's uhd, as sky outputs in 1080i. This allows the TV to do the upscaling...

To me, having the Sky Q set to 2160p results in a softer picture due to the Q box upscaling. These TV's do a great job of upscaling & I leave mine on 1080i as well unless of course I'm watching something downloaded in UHD from the Sky Q box.Why don’t you have sky q set to 2160p?

No. It'll output everything as 1080i50.Will native 2160p stuff automatically display as 2160p if Sky Q is set to 1080i?
Hey all. Been enjoying the GZ950 during the lockdown but I'm wondering (coming up to 3000 hours use) if the screen is developing an issue? Hopefully the below video works and you can see a flicker/pulsing of the picture every few seconds.
It does this every 10-30 seconds on all inputs (TV Netflix app here) and with all picture enhancements off and recommended settings from here. Been doing it for ~3 weeks now.
Any ideas or things to try? Thanks.
I would start with the basics - disconnect all your external devices from the TV, do a factory reset and see if it still occurs with the inbuilt Freeview tuner or apps. Presumably you're on the latest firmware, otherwise you wouldn't be able to watch Netflix ?
In the video that looks like a black frame. Do you have black frame insertion (BFI) enabled?
Perhaps try changing the Picture Mode / Luminance Level to see if it still happens.
I can't try/don't have Freeview but will try Netflix and other built-in apps.
Silly question. After a factory reset will I need to re-download firmware?
Hi,
I recently received my 65GZ950 and overall I'm very pleased with it. However, I do have a small problem with sound ....... I am trying to playback a MKV video file from a memory stick and I have no sound. I have checked the audio on the memstick and find that it is a "dts, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 1536kb/s" signal. Am I to assume that the panasonic can not play DTS audio or is it something else causing the problem?
Incidently, I pluged the memstick into a raspberry pi and no problem with the sound there.
Your thoughts would be most welcomed

Well, first, thank you for your swift response but b*gger, wanted all my video files on a server that could be streamed over the LAN by the GZ950 ... now it means that I need another LAN cable for a rasp pi to be strapped to the back of the 950 ...... unless, and I'm a bit clueless about this, could that 950 pass through the audio stream to a DTS equipped sound bar?Sorry to tell you the TV can't deal with DTS audio.
No I don't think so your rasp pie would have to go into the soundbar the TV won't pass through DTS I use a vero 4k for my moviesWell, first, thank you for your swift response but b*gger, wanted all my video files on a server that could be streamed over the LAN by the GZ950 ... now it means that I need another LAN cable for a rasp pi to be strapped to the back of the 950 ...... unless, and I'm a bit clueless about this, could that 950 pass through the audio stream to a DTS equipped sound bar?
Hi guys, quick question please. Given that the GZ950 is the 2019 model, would it still be available to buy towards the end of the year or will it be replaced by the 2020 models? I really like the quality of the TV and I was wondering if will be available discounted on Black Friday and so? Thanks.
Which size were you intetested in ? Both Richer Sounds and John Lewis have sold out of the 55" GZ950 and no longer list it, so that's a sign that stocks must be running low on that size.
Both sizes have been well-received and are currently fairly heavily discounted, so I wouldn't have thought it's likely that there'll be any around by the end of the year, but you never know.
Doubt there would be any GZ's about come black friday but the new HZ's that are coming out now should be discounted by BF.
Just been straight up to Currys and they refunded me the difference, brilliant bagged this for £1999
cheers bud
EDIT: Price has now went back up to £2099, glad I went up today when I did
I wanted the 65 inch model. I can see that it’s still available on few websites. But yeah I take your point, they may not last till Black Friday.
Great. Thanks. I’ll look into buying one soon then.
