Hi guys,
I've not bought a new TV for 11 years now (my Panasonic TH-37PX70 is still going strong) so I'm in need of a bit of advice. I'm looking at getting a 65/70" OLED TV and I've narrowed it down to what seems to be the 3 usual suspects; the LG C8, Panasonic FZ952 and the Sony AF8. The Panasonic took my fancy because from what I've read it has the best/ most natural picture, has better motion processing than the LG and it comes with the soundbar. However I've got a couple of questions and concerns...
1. It doesn't support Dolby Atmos or Vision; is this something I'm going to miss going forward? As you can tell from my first sentence, I'm not someone who upgrades their TV every yer, so I'd like something that will do me for a long time. Is the Atmos stuff only really an issue if I'm doing a surround sound setup?
2. Am I better off buying the 802 and a seperate soundbar, or is the 952 better value?
3. The TV will be wall mounted, and I've read that you can't take the plug out of the Panasonic. Will this cause issues with wall mounting, as I plan to run the cables in a channel in the wall? I suppose I could just have a socket in behind the TV.
That's quite the post, but I'm hoping you guys can give me a bit of advice.
Thanks.
