Hey Wags, yeah very happy. I got mine for 2990 on ebay, 20% off included. Im sorry i thought i replied to ur messge earlier.

Hi guys!!! Thank you so much for the input. I have decided to go OLED instead as i can't stand the loss of contrast and some blooming in general for LCD when viewed from an angle. I bought Pana 65FZ950 2 weeks ago, and couldn't be happier. I think I know what i wanted from my TV viewing coming from Pana Plasma, I cant compromise contrast and cant stand blooming. by the way, 75fx780 was so tempting for 2990 + 20% off in ebay. I got my OLEd with 20% off as well. Again, Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you for that Gill. I had a look at it in harvey norman today, but they wont go down lower than 3.5k. So im happy to wait til feb. Hopefully it will be a lot cheaper then. So r u going to use tweakys setting?

Congratulations on ur purchase gill. Please let us know what u think. Im more curious about how bad is haloing in med to max dimming. N how good is the contrast. Tnx

Yeah i noticed that today too. There should be another sale coming this monday, or sometime towards xmas. Im patiently waiting.

Are you looking into this? it's 20% off, although shipping is a bit dearer than usual, try eBay Plus if you can avail free shipping. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Panasonic-75-TH75FX780A-4K-Ultra-HD-Smart-TV/222965164855?epid=7018861565&hash=item33e9c26b37:g:vxwAAOSwOYRbvT7k:rk:2:pf:0

Thank you Gill. I had been trying to get the boss to like the idea of projector, but so far no. Shes more of lools first before funtcion. Haha

Mate if its not too much to ask, couod you please show me some pics of the location of the projector? Just want to get an idea how everything looks. My wife didnt want projector hanging on the ceiling in the living room, but if i could sell well to the senate then i might have to get projector instead n stick with plasma for tv viewing. I want to get 75" solely for movies. Tnx

I wish we had dedicated cinema room so i could get a projector, eyeing on that proper 4k jvc.

I bought the sony x9400e ladt feb, but returned ut after a while. Cant stand the blooming and banding. Hoping that fx780 dnt have blooming or very minimal, ast its common in lcd. I realized im a bit fuzzy coming from vt30 plasma, but oled is too pricey for above 70".

Im not sure if any store still selling the ex75. I also noticed as well that ex model reviews were done late last year or early this year. So ill wait for those reviews, and good timing too as tvs are usually getting heavu discounts by early next year. I wasnt sure of getting 75lcd or 65oled at first, but now im certain i want the 75, for me its just better with movies having the extra few inches as long as its as good or better than the ex.

20% off the good guys if purchased through their ebay store. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Panasonic-TH-65FZ950U-65-165cm-OLED-UHD-Smart-TV/113176598966?epid=20023958560&hash=item1a59d9d9b6:g:lHoAAOSwWFRbe1Y4:rk:3:pf:0

I hope you have fully recovered mate.

Sorry @howze didnt quite get your message. I dont have the x9400e in possession now btw.

Sony x9400e has low med and high adjustments. Blooming starts at low, specially if you look at it off axis. I watched footy last night on my pana vt30, the pictyre was soo good that 9400 looked like like a very cheap tv(which wasnt btw hence i returned it coz i dont believe its worth the money). Im confused now wether to get 65fz950 or the fx. Thats why im asking u the overall pic quality. I had the vt30 prpfessionally calibrated, but the sony i did it myself using xrite display pro +hcfr. I manage to get a really good result with 4k, but the blooming really annoys me. Based on theory, oled should have blooming. I wouod like the 75 byt worried about the blooming. Tnx for ur repky @cwt

How far off do u think ur ex from an oled re overall pic? @howzementioned no blooming, how about u @cwt ? Even dimming on? Dimmimg on made the blooming worst in sonyx9400e.

I thought they stopped using the honeycomb tech since ex models? Have you came across with this link? https://www.anandtech.com/show/10874/panasonic-develops-ips-panel-with-10000001-contrast-ratio-1000-nits-brightness Interesting technology, i thought thats what they've been using with ex since its edge lit. I couod be wtong tho.

I had Sony X9400E good colors, and black level. But the blooming and banding were killing me, so I returned it. I think FALD is good, if they can ensure no lights escapes when the area has to be black is good. But this seems to be the reason why there is blooming coz they can noly shut zones, not at individual pixel level like the OLED. If Pana is using the same technology as the above link provided, then that seems to be a lot better dimming tech as i its close to or at the individual level of pixel the shutting of lights. The above commenters mentioned, and from other posts Ive read that there is no or close to none blooming in pana EX model. I have read a reveiw as well about the EX that its dimming system is something other manufacturers wished they have.

thank you @Tweaky. Yeah I know, I dont get why people are so into the brightness level, I think you only need a certain level of brightness for a TV. But depends on where you put your Tv I guess. I don't need a very bright TV, its mainly for Watching movies and sports I can shut my windows + curtains and lights off at night.

Thank you howze. Im hoping Fx780a will be at least as good and no blooming. Do you think this is the tecjnology they are using now for their LED local dimming? https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.androidauthority.com/panasonic-announces-1000000-contrast-ratio-lcd-733904/amp/

I meant the avforum in UK Tweaky:) Why did Panasonic left US anyway? So amazing how peoples preference in how they want their tv should look like. When i had my VT30 in 2011, my dad bragged about his sony LCD n my bro with his sammy, when we watched movies in those units I would just smile and secretly tell my wife that their tv is ****?

Thank you for the link cwt. Yeah avforums is uk, thats what i meant. I asked my wife if we can get 65" so i can get this instwad, coz i think 75" is a bit big anyway, but nope shes used to 75" now and im not throwing that much money for 77" oled. Haha

Thank you Tweaky! I have read the forum where you shared ur settings and experience about ur pana ex. I wish i had come across to this site before i bought my sony(which i returned and still waiting for prices to go down on pana), i would have get the EX and benefit from ur settings. I tried looking for ex now but cant find any. Back then it was only whirlpool and avforums checked, and mybe some members are more of sony and sammy fans, that pana ex didnt get much praise. Is there blooming at all? Especially from crappy source like FTA? Tnx again Tweaky.

Thank you Johnny boy. I jsust want to play it safe. Dont want to get it without feedback or review from others, my sony x9400 was almost perfect in terms of black level(with the help of local dimming) and how much i paid for it. but since coming from pana vt30 plasma, wasnt very familiar with issies with LED tvs and how bad they are. Ill probably wait a bit when more user and pro reviews starts to come out. Tnx JB

Anyone who has experience with Panasonic th 75fx780a? I really want to have this tv but cant find proper review on this unit. I returned my Sony x9400e coz i cant stand the blooming and banding tho, yeah abit fuzzy with movie pics here. Black leve,colorl and contrast were good tho.
