You can't assume the brightness either. The Panny panel is "technically" brighter, but in real life it's not obviously brighter than the LG or the Sony. Vincent argues that it has more headroom but again, in direct comparison I didn't see any real difference.it's more expensive than the Panasonic GZ2000 with less brightness
Without forgetting the image and manufacturing quality.

They did this last time as well so expect a version without the sound bar to be released at some point.I love the idea of 4 sided ambilight, am still amazed other manufacturers have not got on the bandwagon. What I do not like is having to have a soundbar, for which I have probably paid a fair few quid, sitting below the screen. If they had a 4 sided without the soundbar I would be at the front of the queue.

Yes they are very similar and in terms of picture identical.@Steve Withers If we leave the sound aspect, in terms of design and picture quality is it very similar in design to 934?
So if the 984 PQ is the same as the 934 that's about 1,500 for a soundbar it must be one kicking soundbar? but very much doubt it could outperform the GZ2000 in PQ especially the way the GZ handles dark scenes.
I still find it odd that 'Philips' TV's are totally TPV Technology and has nothing to do with the Philips company.
I guess TPV still have to pay Philips royalties even though they own 100% of the TV division where Philips no longer have any input.
"Real world prices" is a very relative term, borne out of expectations when compared with cheap TVs flooding the market. Pioneer's TV division folded because it was losing money on every TV it sold, even though they were "expensive".That's a great starting price for the budget models, at this rate, the 65" could soon hit the £2k mark from launch and discounted some time later to what most thought was a bargain discounted price for a 55" a few years back.
Just need those big 77" to start falling down to real world prices...
