One thing to remember is that Samsung Display's QD-OLED panels are a 1st gen panel vs. LG Display's more mature panels. TBH if you haven't had an OLED tv before, you won't be disappointed by either; the other QOL stuff might give you cause though and the LG wins out there.

Personally I'm excited for QD-OLED as a technology and look forward to it baking a little bit longer. If I was specifically going to be buying a QD-OLED TV today though, I'd only be looking at Sony's A95K as it removes a lot of the downsides IMO: Android TV, Dolby Vision support, picture processing is superior IMO. I don't mind giving Samsung Display my money but I refuse to give Samsung Electronics any more.

The a95k is definitely a beautiful tv, but at ~$6k I don't think it's worth the extra $2.5k over the S95B. Also, if you're going to be using the tv for gaming, I'd say the s95b is superior in that regard.

Did Noel Leeming agree to pricematch the price on The Market, including the extra 10% off, or did you buy from Noel Leeming through The Market?

Anyone know when 2023 TVs are usually released in NZ? Looking at upgrading from a 2011 Plasma.

May to July... Unless there is something on a 23 model you need specifically, you'd be much better off financially to pickup a current LG C2, Pana LZ980/1000 or Samsung S95B. Or higher spec models of course

The Sony A95K is my one to "watch"...

... for the right price, ofc

It combines the superior colour gamut + volume and highlights of QD-OLED panels with Sony's tuning/processing, Android TV, Dolby Vision, and generally not being a Samsung Electronics device

Unless Panasonic comes out with a NZx000 range with QD-OLED panels...

My TV is now in my lounge, still in a box though but I am very much looking forward to finishing work and getting home and unpacking it. Then starting the assembly of the new cabionet I purchased for it

Just for interests sake, dived into the service menu of my GZ1000 last night. 4304 hours on the panel & had its 4th panel maintenance a few weeks back. Averages out to around 4.4 hours per day of TV on time which was quite surprising for me.

Anyways ran through some 50% to 5% gray uniformity picture test's to check any banding or shading. Looks as good as when I ran the tests on Day 1. Really happy with the Panasonic OLED GZ and would happily buy another in the future.
