It is interesting how the scores differ however no Panasonic in the running makes it difficult to be relevant for any uk based enthusiast.I think the US testing was more based on facts, rather than just peoples basic opinion. The US shootout was testing which of the televisions performs to REFERENCE standards. Whereby the Sony's were much more in line with reference performance.

Did just right a final long winded reply in the Gz2000 with my vs. Its a great set but just hasn't lived up to the hype for meI tend not to take much notice of these shootouts , living with a set at home is the only way you can really judge them ,look no further than @deon444 , he recently had a GZ2000 alongside his AF9 , now on paper the GZ2000 should have blown the AF9 away (especially with HDR content).
The GZ2000 has been returned !!
Yes just read that mate , sorry for jumping the gun on saying the GZ had already been returnedDid just right a final long winded reply in the Gz2000 with my vs. Its a great set but just hasn't lived up to the hype for me
Was there anybody from LG there?I think you've touched on one of the most pertinent points I took away from today.
In order to be able to have a validated result you need to have a properly vetted and qualified audience that is able to judge. To put it politely that was not the case today at all.
It was clear by lunch time that it was more of a fun day in the general sense. The set up was also questionable.
That's not to take away from all the effort and expense the organisers and staff went to. That remains appreciated but I would suggest to take these results with a considerably large grain of salt.
The Panasonic representatives looked shell shocked at the result. Visibly upset.
Well basically it has,as it's been packed up the last few days,John Lewis collecting it tuesday. Do love the set and first time I feel guilty about sending a tv backYes just read that mate , sorry for jumping the gun on saying the GZ had already been returned

I'm much more inclined to side with the professionals and their opinions.
Besides, I know one or two people who attended the event and they are super Panasonic Biased. Who's to say others in the audience weren't in a similar boat? They kept telling me it was easy to tell which is which.
All of the shootouts have some issues but I agree Value Electronics's overall has done a better job on this. Value Electronics's main issue is that they don't have Panasonic in their shootout(not exactly their fault).
HDTV's tests has 2 big flaws. First flaw is I really do not see why gaming would be a category when it wasn't one a few years ago. Streaming at least makes sense because that is becoming a sole way of watching content and it's where things are moving.
Second flaw is not having an expert judging panel which should be self explanatory. Public voting should be a separate results.
He previously stated the AF9 was slightly better in certain areas too .He didn't return it because of the Sony was 'better', he returned it to save a ton of money on improvements that were rather small overall. He stated the GZ2000 would be the OLED he would buy in 2019.
No I sent the Gz2000 back as it wasn't as good as it was hyped, and didn't beat the Af9 in any major area other than being a bit more uniform.He didn't return it because of the Sony was 'better', he returned it to save a ton of money on improvements that were rather small overall.

Can anyone shine light on the hdr category, what was tested? The result there is quite surprising because 2 friends of mine are considering switching from their current LG to Panasonic since they like hdr much more on my gz2000.
