How is it different from HZ1000
I like Panasonic’s picture accuracy and motion and my son is into gaming. I’m interested if this set supports next generation gaming consoles. If not, it’s yet another in a line of 2020 TVs that hasn’t addressed fundamental weaknesses from previous models.
There’s no Apple TV app on any Pana 2020 OLEDs.Is the Apple TV+ app on the 2020 oled’s as my 2019 does not have it.
I'd be happy if they supported HDMI 2.1 properly like LG. It is astonishing that most big manufacturers (including Sony themselves) do not have TV's ready for the consoles launching in just a handful of months (at most). Just means my upgrade will be waiting another year...I’d have been happier if they’d announced a 48 inch to be honest. Have a nice projector already and don’t always want it to be mahoosive.
Do you pay exrta on a Merc jusy for the word AMG? No, it actually represents a feature, and enhanced performance.One major difference is the price. This one's apparently £1699, the HZ1000 is listed on Richer Sounds at £1999. £300 for the word "Pro"?
It’s not just astonishing, it’s a disgrace. At best the manufacturers are treading water this year. IMHO they are taking the mick out of customers by overhyping tweaks, charging premium prices to put old wine in new bottles, and omitting features that should be bog standard in 2020.I'd be happy if they supported HDMI 2.1 properly like LG.

Old wine in new bottles? Now that's the thinking man's scam....!It’s not just astonishing, it’s a disgrace. At best the manufacturers are treading water this year.

I beg to differ. A product costing the equivalent of a month’s net salary for the average person is a premium price, especially in the current economic climate. What something cost years ago is irrelevant, and an argument for charging thousands for a smart phone.'Premium prices'? I remember when a 42" plasma TVs would cost £4k and people bought them. It wasn't long ago you had 47" HD LED TVs being released at £3k.These are 55" 4K OLED TVs being released at £1.8k because people don't buy premium anymore.
Until people are willing to pay premium you won't see a TV with all features in 1
Your example of the CX and C9 is doesn't make any sense, you are comparing the release price of the CX and the exit price of the C9. The fact that the CX is being released cheaper than the C9 was released at and is a 'downgrade' on the C9 actually makes makes my point. LG are making it cheaper to release it cheaper.I beg to differ.

Using LG as an example, and comparing the CX with the C9. The CX was launched in the U.K. without catch up TV, which in 2020 is equivalent to launching a car without wheels. It’s a significant downgrade on several fronts, e.g. no true HDMI 2.1, no DTS encoders - issues strangely not mentioned by so-called independent reviewers. Yet the CX is currently £500 more expensive than the C9.
Hard pressed folks shelling out nearly £2k have a right to expect a TV that combines really good out of the box picture accuracy, excellent motion handling, strong gaming capability, and future proofing. In this day and age, it’s the least customers should get for their money.

You don't know what the word pro represents in reality, so why speculate that the additional value is, effectively, a rip off!?
