Don't want LG. We want the best gaming experience on a Pana Oled as Pana is the best in all other aspects. And I don't see any incompatibility here. Pana is too "Hollywood" oriented (that's great but too restrictive) and doesn't listen to the market unfortunately. Pana Oled + gaming features would be a killer. What a missed opportunity especially with the coming of the Xbox Series X and PS5. Come on Pana, wake-up!I am pretty clear from the specs that it only supports eARC and ALLM among the 2.1 features, last year's supported ALLM, this year they add eARC. And these features dont need a 48gbps chipset in place. If you want a gaming oriented tv with hdmi 2.1, ger a lg CX/GX oled.
They are hollywood oriented, they also sell some of these oleds to hollywood to use as reference monitors in color grading studios. gaming is (and has historically been) a secondary consideration to panasonic ..whether you like it or not. To movie watchers, hdmi 2.1 doesnt matter (eARC is there). I'm more disappointed that they wont launch a custom panel without the fancy sound system at a lower price (those rumors turned out wrong).Don't want LG.

Therefore comes the logical questions: is Pana doing TVs such as the HZ2000 just for professionals or for end users? They have to chose really. If they don’t care about gamers, hdmi 2.1 and co, no problem, it’s their right, but if so they just have to clearly tell us their positioning once for all so that we don’t wait for stuff that won’t never come!They are hollywood oriented, they also sell some of these oleds to hollywood to use as reference monitors in color grading studios. gaming is (and has historically been) a secondary consideration to panasonic ..whether you like it or not.

Great stuff. Much appreciated. Fingers crossed!Still waiting on clarification from Panasonic.

Well, best reference IMO is Vincent Teoh (HDTVTest) reviews and no doubt that best 2019 TV was from his point of view the GZ2000. He’s not the only one. That said it’s true that LG made great process in terms of image quality, but there’s still a gap vs Pana. For sure any purchase is a question of compromises. Let’s see what 2020 reviews will tell us but competition is stronger than ever and that’s possible LG will fill the gap in terms of IQ...or not. Time will tell. Regarding the hdmi 2.1, it was still OK not to have it in 2019, but this year such lack it’s a real disadvantage. So as a customer it’s critical to exactly know what to expect here when it’s about to buy a new TV, especially when it costs a lot. Reading « it does 2.1 » if it’s not the case is in a way a fake news, even if it’s definitely not intentional here for sure (don’t get me wrong). So to be credible a media news solid info to remain trustable. If Pana is playing with words around the 2.1 stuff that’s really bad for everyone (medias and customers). It would be preferable for them to say « no it’s 2.0b with some 2.1 features » instead of being blurry on that topic. Creating unnecessary frustration is always bad in terms of sales...If you want the best buy new E10 as you get everything plus last years E9 beat the GZ2000 in the blind shootout although your splitting hairs in all of them and not let the Badge get in the way IMO but good luck whatever you do.
There is no E model from LG this year. This year the G is back (GX) BX,CX..If you want the best buy new E10 as you get everything plus last years E9 beat the GZ2000 in the blind shootout although your splitting hairs in all of them and not let the Badge get in the way IMO but good luck whatever you do.
Cheers for the confirmation - although it is disappointing.Now completely confirmed with Panasonic that the HDMI ports are not full-bandwidth 48Gbps HDMI 2.1
Thanks Phil. Crystal clear now. Disappointing for sure but we know what to expect now with the HZ2000.Now completely confirmed with Panasonic that the HDMI ports are not full-bandwidth 48Gbps HDMI 2.1
Yup. Expect a fantastic OLED TV that will be top class for movie watching and HDR with superb panel uniformity
YawnFor movies yes but not neseceraly HDR as LG beat the Panasonic GZ2000 in this category in the blind shootout.
Sorry I see you put Top class and not top in class.
