Hi Mark,
I must say I love reading your reviews. You focus on the things that really matter to the consumer!
You delve into the inner workings, you pick up on nearly all a tvs shortcomings, you test all scenaros formpossible bugs etc that are previlent on OTHER tvs and manufactures! Therefore you put your readers mind at rest regarding issues with panels or inherant faults with certain technology!
You pick out as much information as you can, and nform your readers of this, which aloows us to make an informed decision on the products we buy
I hope you never loose that way of reviewing. You really grill a product, and by doing so you gain the upmost respect possible from your readers who listen to (and trust you) as it means there are no nasty surprises for us upon delivery
If I'm honest, your reviews are the only ones I really trust.
There is nothing worse than buying a new tv, reading these reviews, getting it home and finding a niggle you can't live with, with your reviews you point out all niggles, no matter how small and for this... Well for this i thank you dearly!
You have steered me in the direction of the best products for me over the years
I love how you really put a product through its paces, check for faults, bugs and issues (and report them) and you also check users feedback and issues too! This is the sign of a fantastic journalist. The reason I come here, is solely for your reviews.
I do have a quick question re: the Panasonic range.
I know you haven't had a dt65 or a wt65 yet, but when you do get them, could you check to see if the local dimming is the same on each model. The reason I ask is this..
Products - Compare Products - Panasonic UK & Ireland
It says the wt65 has BLS 16 zones + local dimming and the the dt65 has BLS 6 zones with local dimming.
I can't decide if that means the local dimming is reduced or affected by the zones of only the BLS to allow the increase in back light flicker.
From my research, it would appear that the 1600 BLS means every 4th (or so) LED will "Blink" and n the 3600 BLS every 2nd led will blink. But that this shouldn't effect ny local dimming etc.
Meaning that the local dimming is the same, they both have the clear panel pro filter etc and only the amount of blinking backlights are affected.
If so, this means I can forgo the inbuilt camera, and the 3600 BLS (as I usually disable all that anyway) and grab the DT65.
Anyway, really looking forward to your reviews of these models, I hope to see them soon.
Keep up the good work!
