I’m particularly interested in the upscaling processing from internet streaming sources and motion artifacts when viewing sports. Not a gamer and not a heavy 4K source user. Also the quality of the sound from the extensive speaker array and onboard amplifier when Dolby Atmos formatted sources are input.
My set arrives next week, so it will be interesting to compare my consumer PoV to a specification, tech heavy, review. This replaces my Panny Viera plasma TV, which had given me many years of problem-free service. I’m hoping to build quality and limited production numbers of this set does the same.
Please review Sharp possible Panasonic Plasma replacement with classical chassis
I am also looking to replace my Panny Plasma after many years of superlative service. My last cross-country move killed it due to the rough handling by the movers.
It’s a shame that there won’t be a review out in time to take advantage of the launch sale prices. Brian at Tech Therapy was gushing about it during the unboxing at VE and has been strangely silent about it ever since the shootout. Did he review a “golden panel”? The randomly selected TV from VE stock for the shootout almost seemed like a different set. This has me concerned about the manufacturing consistency.
Buy one now and you may be lucky and get a golden panel or you may get one that needs its software/firmware upgraded. Hard to decide without any independent testing, with all due respect to Brian and FOMO, who necessarily have ties to the supplier.

Really wish this tv supported 120hz dolby vision gaming cause it would be really nice to have a premium google tv alternative to Sony tvs.
