So, the 9005 is my first LCD TV and... I must admit that I''m disappointed with it's performance. I had (and still have a Panasonic 37 inch C10Y Plasma) before this screen and enjoyed it.
I hate the zone light on the 9005. On normal SDR I can live with it but for HDR, the max brightness of the screen makes my "cinema bars" go somewhat grey!
Whilst I'd hate to have to replace this TV after a mere 2-3 years of ownership, I just don't use the HDR because I cannot stand the "black" levels with such content.
Before I bought this TV, I was warned that Plasmas are better for blacks. Should have tested the 9005 with HDR before purchase.
Based on this experience, are there any TVs out there today which rival Plasmas for Black Levels, superb back light control and handling of movement?
I'm thinking something OLED?
Also, the 9005 has a mere 100 Mbit LAN port, which means I cannot Plex HDR as those sometimes peak well over 100 mbits.
