Maybe but, HDMI is more than cables, as you've experienced.Fortunately my cables meet that spec.
It's working now, so that's all that matters.

It is actually a rather bad idea to copy picture settings. Often the white balance varies from TV to TV.Would anyone care to share their calibrated settings?
Isn't it a matter of 'trying out' someone else's picture settings rather than 'copying' them?. If, for example, the white balance is not suitable then a further satisfactory adjustment can be made and posted here. We'll then have a choice of 2, then 3 or even 4 .It is actually a rather bad idea to copy picture settings. Often the white balance varies from TV to TV.

For the normal picture settings, the adjustments were minor, but not when it came to DV Dark.I imagined that because only minor adjustments were needed I would try out other settings. Professional calibration is not an option in my area so was hoping to experiment a little
Just for info, the Filmer Maker Mode is very very close to a calibrated Professional 2. So if it is still possible to buy a GZ2000, I would go for that TV.Yes I've been a little concerned about LG failure rate. It's difficult to gauge the extent without knowing sales numbers, but most of the burn-in issues I read about seem to be LG models. I've been unsure if they have a higher defect rate or simply sell more, but it has been a concern.
I don't think I'm a big enough gamer to justify immediately ruling out non-LG options due to hdmi 2.1. While I do enjoy playing, they tend to be longer, narrative-driven single-player games rather than fast-paced competitive ones. I'm hoping to watch more movies too, which has been a draw for the Panasonic. I considered the GZ2000, but the lack of filmmaker mode and 120Hz BFI made me reconsider, the former just for accuracy and the latter to bring the motion up to and even past that of Sony oleds which I've heard are notorious for it (though again, I've never seen anything above an entry level 4k LCD so I'll probably be delighted with any).
I have heard Panasonic's processor is excellent. I briefly considered a Philips as they're supposed to also have excellent processing, but they seem to focus more on an ethos of processing everything even at the cost of creative intent, while Panasonic seem to place a lot of focus on maintaining it.
Right now I'm leaning towards the Panasonic again, though I've been flipping back and forth regularly. It's good to hear your thoughts though, and that you've been happy with your purchase.

I had a GZ2000, and it is as good in many ways as the HZ2000. But you are right, you are going to loose a few things when buying a GZ2000.I can find one for £2199, but I'm expecting the HZ2000 to drop at least close to that by the end of the year, and I really value the HZ's implementation of BFI. If the GZ was at its lowest price (which I believe was £1699) I'd just go with that, but I missed out on that price.

I can´ t comment on price drops. I am Danish, and here the prices for Panasonic high-end TV´ s never drops that much.
Strange to see so many criticisms of the price. My first plasma was £7,000 and that was 848x480 panel with no tuner and no speakers! My crappy 65EF950V retailed at £5,000 at launch.
So £4,000 seems pretty reasonable to me. So what if it's much more than the lg cx? In the scheme of things, over the life of the TV, the difference is peanuts IMO.
I get that some people think it's too much and that is fine, but it's not a ridiculous price. People pay £10k for a Rolex Submariner which doesn't even tell the time particularly well.
