The 4K market looks like at long last, decided to grow up and kind of knows which direction(s) it wants to go in. Therefore, after much deliberation, I have decided to move my excellent Panasonic 55VT30B into semi-retirement within my office, the old girl still outputs a great picture for 1080P.
My dilemma is whether to purchase the GZ2000B (£4,299) or to go for the GZ950B (£2,299).
"Is the extra £2K justifiable?"
As I will be connecting either of the chosen TVs to an upgraded 4K AV-Receiver (either the Pioneer VSX-LX504 or Pioneer SC-LX901 - a question for another thread or any recommendations most welcome), the integrated sound bar and the "up firing" rear speakers tuned by Technics will not be required; GZ2000B.
Everything else between the two seems to be a like for like, even after having professional calibration applied - is the overall picture performance that much noticeably on the GZ2000B?
If anybody has had the good fortune to witness both panels at their peak set-up, I would be very grateful if they could please share their own opinions on the picture performance or on the integrated sound bar against a conventional AV-Receiver.- I don't want to be regretting that I missed a trick by not paying the extra £2K.
Any help, comments or advice on any of the above, all welcome.- Many Thanks
