pc10 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Edge lit TV from 2017 with a brilliant local dimming algorithym. So good that a couple of reviewers even thought it was full array. Panasonic have reverted to IPS panels for their LCD tvs in 2018. Like LG they just stay in the LCD game whilst all their R&D goes on OLED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryO Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Well we are no longer soon to be owners of the 75FX780, TNT managed to damage the box in transit and even though they reckon the TV is ok I don't want to take the risk, plus they did this over a week ago and never bothered to contact us to let us know about it or why they were taking so long to deliver it, in fact they didn't even tell Videopro. So I cancelled the order today and we will get a full refund so I am told by Videopro, TNT actually just left the damaged box sitting in the warehouse. This was not Videopro's fault what happened but very annoying that such a established courier service cant get their **** together. So given the delay now I'll just wait for the post Christmas sales and see what pops up then. cheers Terry Edited December 11, 2018 by TerryO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me and I'll give you a direct number of the person who looks after it through Videopro's head office. He got to the bottom of it within a hour. That is providing you also purchased from Videopro through Ebay that is. cheers Terry Edited December 11, 2018 by TerryO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensell21 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hmm I’ve have just purchased a AVR from Queensland via TNT I hope that TNT get their act together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmaverick Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Well My TV was just delivered by TNT. TV was standing upright as suggested by the Panasonic. No major damage to the box either. Ascrach here and there but nothing major. This thing is seriouly heavy. I gave him a hand to take it inside and my legs were shaking after about 10 meters. This is a back killer I tell you. Will install it on the wall next Tuesday and will post my initial thoughts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmaverick Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Hi All , Tele is up on the wall. I am impressed. It looks stunning. Blacks are really good. I will do some critical viewing at night and post some more photos. This photo is True Cinema with backlight at 30 and all processing off. I had to increase the backlight as it was too dark due to day light coming in. Cheers , Edited December 18, 2018 by gillmaverick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmaverick Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi Guys , Picture quality of this Tele is great but I am having sound issues. For some absurd reason I cannot hear vocals but only the background sound. You tube videos all work fine. Netflix works OK. Stan TV series work OK but All movies no vocals and also my media player ( MED8ER ) no vocals on any of my movies. I can hear background music but nothing that comes out of anyone's mouth.Free to air TV no sound either. I have played around with many settings to no avail. Let me know if anyone knows any tips. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaky Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 This is all going into the surround amp from the TV I imagine and visa versa? If it's similar to my EX780a [it's predecessor] 'ONLY' HDMI channel 2 on the TV has ARC, so you might want to check that is the one connected to the HDMI ARC channel on your HT amp, also check your VEIRA LINK settings , which if memory serves me correctly is under the HDMI settings......when you say you are not getting any sound on free to air, this makes me suspect this is what the problem is. If you have the TV connected to the internet, check to see if there are any software updates for it, I've had several on my TV in a year of ownership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the TV connected to the internet, check to see if there are any software updates for it, I've had several on my TV in a year of ownership Thanks Tweaky , Well this is doing my head in. I will explain in detail what the problem is. I have Nvidia Shield , MED8ER media player , PS4 and Foxtel connected to Denon X4300 via HDMI. TV is connected to ARC channel both ways ( HDMI 2 on TV and AVR ). All I did was replace the old samsung with Pana TV , everything else stayed the same. I use Shield for all streaming duties. Netflix works fine and I get proper sound. Stan works on TV series only . Foxtel works properly as well. All movies played through Stan I can not hear people talking but can hear background score. Same with Movies stored on my media player No vocals just background score. Also no sound on free to Air channels through arc. I can not seem to find settings specific to ARC on the pana Either. Thanks for your help. I will also wait week or so before I enter your detailed picture settings for this TV Mate.

ARC depends on both the TV and AVR settings. Check you Denon AVR for its own ARC settings. p/s gave up on ARC a little while ago, never could get it going with my Pana Plasma with both the Anthem & NAD AVRs ; am using optical Edited December 19, 2018 by Snoopy8 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck. I dont care about ARC as long as I can get sound from Stan and my media player. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmaverick Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well , I have an update and It is an embarrassing one. While setting the Tele up one of the center Channel wires got disconnected. Connected it back up and lo and behold everything is back to almost normal. ARC still does not work but That is no big deal. Now I can just relax and watch it. Thanks everyone for your input. Tweaky , Mate I will add your setting in about a weeks time and will let you know how it looks. Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaky Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I'm glad you found the culprit, crikey that would of been a bastard of a trouble shoot considering all the different sources you have if it hadn't of been something that simple that was the cause. I'm not sure if my settings will work with the FX range of TV's, as they use different panels to the EX models, no harm in trying, it's a simple press of the reset button to put everything back to how it looks ATM.

It did took me about 4 hours to find the culprit. Mine is VA panel and I thought yours is too. Anyway will definitely try your setting and report back .

Please do let us know how Tweaky's custom tune up works, as I have not given up on buying a 75" FX, I just gave up on waiting an extra long time for a damaged box to arrive. Christmas sales are just around the corner so I'm still interested in buying one, especially if the tube up works. cheers Terry Edited December 19, 2018 by TerryO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
