It’s nice to hear someone from the inside talk about the stutter issue and confirm they are working on it.
Decided to see what benefit interpolation brings to 24 fps film... looked at some moving camera shots from Forrest Gump on Netflix.
without the interpolation on one can clearly see the 'natural' judder of the 24fps material if you focus on the edges of the frame.
With interpolation at "min" immediately the motion all across the picture is smooth and fault-free.
I suppose none of this is very surprising but I found it an interesting experiment. Will be leaving the interpolation setting at 'min' for 24 fps viewing as I don't detect SOE with it at that level. perhaps my sensitivity is low ..
55 'have a much smaller problem with homogeneity than 65', but congratulations on a successful copy of the TV. Already after calibration? are you waiting 200-300h? What are your observations? Oled works better after 200-300 hours of work? I have such impressions ..., each of 7 pieces that I had so behaved ...
Below is my EZ1000E
Of course I'm going to calibrate by myself the panel but after 200 hours of aging (I have done just a rough 2P WB calibration for the time being) as Pana oleds go through three driving stages (A,B,C on the hours counter) and RGB and gamma tracking change. And in general it's better to age a little every oleds sets...
Considering your picture is at 5%, your panel seems quite good!
I'm going to take a wild stab at Braveheart and Life of Pi but don't recognise the top one.
Great photos - what setup was used?

Diplomatic words, also the open acknowledgment means we have a come back if no fix is found. It’s a win win.“HOPEFULLY we will have a fix soon”
Not exactly reassuring words.
However, Star Trek Discovery ( FHD with HDR) is a complete mess. It looks oversaturated, has colour noise and colour grain. I m not sure if the director intended that to happen. Skin tones also exhibit colour noise. Anyone else noticed this too?
It was a beautiful set, I loved it. However I couldn't live with the stutter and was sick of sending them back. I'm hoping Panasonic sort the issues out as I'm in the market for a 2018 model and would like to audition the 65FZ950 for our Garden Room along with the other manufacturers offerings later in the summer to replace my Panasonic 47wt50, which has been a cracker.Diplomatic words, also the open acknowledgment means we have a come back if no fix is found.

Admit it though, you miss the Panasonic don’t you?
Appears to be brighter and more depth to the image.
The ez1002 tv is used by the Hollywood studios, it is the best.
My subjective impressions of my EZ were that the saturation of colours seemed to settle and the near black gamma seemed to lift. For my first 50 hours of use or so I had to have gamma at 2.3 otherwise the blacks seems crushed. Now it’s looks perfect at 2.4 gamma. Of course this could of been more my eyes/brain adapting but it’s nice to see you have measured what I perceived.It is indeed!
Aging after the first 200 hours panels increases peak luminance by 3-4% with both SDR and HDR and gamma tracking is a little bit lower, mostly between 0 and 30 IRE.
I observed the same behavior in all sets I have calibrated.
Sadly, mine is high. I see IFC smoothing even with a custom setting of just 1.

How do I enable those settingsGreat
When you do this testing with 24 fps film. Are you running your TV in pure 24 fps mode which means 1. no 3:2 pulldown of 24 fps to 60 fps. 2. no inverse telecline from 60 fps material to 24 fps.
Only at pure 5:5 pulldown which means 24 fps repeats by the TV computer to 120hz you have the pure film mode.
I hope you tested in this mode.
Yes, saturations improve too. You are right with your feeling with better near black, but gamma tracking is not lifting, it's going down in order to have more details showed.
Hi thx75,
What was the software version did you have before and also you keep stating you have a 950 are you in another country?
I had one of the earlier production set S/N 734xxxx mounting fw 3.142xxx200axxx. Yes, I'm from Italy...
This bug is already fixed for my new set mounting 3.143 + 270b so I'm confident the latest release or even a newer one will be published soon or later. Of course it solves stutter on 25p contents just keeping IFC off.
Do you like to know my feeling? Panasonic is going to publish a fw update including that patch or a better one just once they will be ready to implement HDR10+ too. And that will happen not before March/April as far as I can say... but it's just speculation.
Unfortunately, the word that applies is ethical, because I think they are being business-like in their response, no doubt at recommendations of their legal team, which is therefore professional.Yes makes sense it’s just keeping everyone in the dark is not very professional.
