I've asked the question regarding the Filmmaker Mode in the picture presets. Philips PR states it is Movie mode, but it should be a named stand alone preset, so I have asked for more information.Will filmmaker mode be added by firmware?
Sounds like the perfect fit for you.I've been very impressed with Phillips TVs for the last couple of generations. I like accurate colours etc up to a point but HDR is my favorite way of watching 2D content. I've always liked their HDR perfect function. Their "vivid" mode is the best SDR enhancer I've seen bringing HDR like picture quality to SDR content.
Phillips is about the only OLED TV I would consider swapping my LED light canon for.
I actually had the OLED805 up next to the HZ1500 and it competes very well with the Panasonic. Blacks are on a par with a very slight advantage to the Panasonic for just above black and colour purity, (there is no cyan white on the Panny), but it's very close. Motion is slightly better on the Philips and they are close with every other attribute. Philips has Ambilight and is slightly cheaper with Android TV against Panasonic and My Home Screen 5.0. So yes, Philips has narrowed the gap and can be accurate.Cool. Thanks Phil.
In a straight shootout (which I appreciate means working from memory), how does the 805 compare with the Panasonic HZ models you've seen in terms of near black performance?
I know Panasonic focused efforts on this area, with impressive results. It reads as though Philips has at least narrowed the gap.
You discuss near black performance in the review, which is great and pretty comprehensive, but it'd be useful to get your impression of how this TV stacks up against the competition in this regard.
I've been to shootouts and loved the Philips, loved the Pannys. When I arrive back home, I put on some bright HDR content and I'm "content". I would have to directly compare it with my current TV.Sounds like the perfect fit for you.

Do you think that you can see the difference of 100 nits.. ? Because I think that in reviews the panasonic didn't even reach 1.000 nits but in 900 nits something. And nits is not a lenear thing in real life as the numbers seem to be taken by most people, automatically. In experience 100 nits will not be seen in scenes.. I think !??GZ2000 / HZ2000 are the only OLEDs that can offer close to 1000 nits peak brightness on a 10% window. The other models share the same panel and usually have 650 to 850 nits of peak brightness depending upon how the manufacturer implement it.

As I didn't know what your DX902 was.. I did a google search and the review from Steve Witheres in 2016,... And it's strange to come to the conclusion that such a tv is not to be found these days.. A 10 for colour accuracy.. 500+ dimmingzones with even extra ibuilds to prevent light leakage t other zones.. resulting in 0,0000 nits.. as was written. But there was no nits per window graphic.. Only mentioning 1.000 nits.. Panasonic DX902 (TX-65DX902B) UHD 4K TV ReviewThat's a good question. If you have trained eyes then probably you might.
I am clearly noticing super bright specular highlights being less impactful on my 65GZ1000 than my DX902 (Example, Batman V Superman.). Its not like the OLED is dim but it doesn't go bright enough but for most parts, the OLED does well with HDR and SDR over the super bright DX902 thanks to pixel level control. Also I am noticing that dip in colours on very bright specular highlights on my OLED over my DX which has better colour volume (ex. super bright explosions).

Great I heard it a couple of weeks on your podcast that you had reviewed it and was looking forward to it. Going to read it now. Thanks in advance.
Oh goody more ambilight nonsense so good no one has bothered to copy it
