I just pulled the pin on the 55" model for my PC setup. I can't wait to see what my motor racing sim looks like on this OLED TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Wow that is a good price. I am waiting for the Sony A8F to get cheaper, but this is tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is the sony going for atm? Is it equal in features to the panasonic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Sony is expensive at the moment, seems like the Sony & Panasonic are taking turns to discount. I was thinking of the Sony because of the processor and up-scaling ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigurh Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My 55" FZ950 arrived today. I very carefully unpacked it and set it up. I was very impressed with the stunning clarity of the picture until I noticed a cluster of dead pixels fairly close to the centre on the screen. I got straight on to The Good Guys. They asked me to email them a photo. I did this and they emailed me back asking me to perform a "Pixel Refresh". The closest thing I could find in the menu was "Panel Maintenance". I ran this and it warned me it would take 80 minutes so I went out for a bit. It seems to have improved a things bit, cleaning up a lot of the single dead pixels but I am still left with 4 black dots. With a magnifier I can see that two of the dots are 4 pixels, one is 6 pixels and one is a single pixel. They are all within about 2cm of each other. I'll run the panel maintenance again tonight. I think if it's not fixed I should insist on a replacement. Rotten luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venom Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Wow. Bad luck indeed. Thank you for sharing it though. Please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Definitely insist on a replacement if not fixed. My experience with a previous LCD screen was that you keep looking/searching for the defect to see if it still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I have the same problem, my plasma gets a bright vertical green line in the same location. Comes and goes randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
