bro already I compare gx740 and gx800 the differents I found two

a) Super Bright Panel vs Super Bright Panel Plus ( any different?)

b) Dimension for gx740 - 1235 X 716 X 45 mm

Dimension for gx800 - 1231 X 714 X 44 mm


it seem gx740 is more long than gx800 and the price different between two is only about RM 500.00


If I plan to watch 4K movie is it better I choose 55 or 65?

A) there should be an expert somewhere in this forum that can answer this question.

B) the tiny size difference is simply because of different panel parts. Gx800 has a metallic grey bezel and chrome plastic remote for premium feel. Gx740 has black bezel and normal remote.

C) bigger is always better depends on ur budget and seating distance. For 55 - 65 inch 4k tv, the distance between u and the TV ideally should be between 5 to 8 feet

Sifu, recommend me a tv please. 40-43". Best bang for bucks under rm1000? The lesser the better

Search thru Lazada

Definitely 65"

Done, shopee though. Thoughts on this?
No need for bleeding edge tech, 4k.
Requirements is fhd, under 1,k, reliable and good aftersale. Will attach Android box anyway.

If we go by context , the " Super Bright Panel Plus " is suggesting the TV screen is brighter .
It is highly misleading because it indicates this TV has a screen with higher brightness value but that clearly isn't the case .

Panasonic is known for making up numbers , for example look at what sort of numbers they are putting in the motion column , a whooping 1300 , 1600 and 3000 "backlight" motion rate .
You would be silly to think the TV can actually go that high . Apparently to Panasonic , whatever they are calling motion rate isn't the same as other brands .



All of the current gen of 4k TV can achieve a value of 300 - 400 nits , which is the modern standard of the last 5 years .
It cannot , will not and shouldn't be any lower unless you've decided to calibrate your TV that way .


According to the booksheet specs of Panasonic , the Panel used for GX 740 can achieve a peak brightness of 400 +- nits , while the Super bright Panel plus used for GX 800 is capable of 500 cd/m2 peak brightness .
I believe MY's GX800 is using the same AMVA3 LCD screen found on the likes of Sony's X85 series . But for whatever reason , Panasonic has decided to restrict both TV to the more standard baseline of 300 Nits , bright panel plus or not .

Again , I am unable to locate a GX740 for any test view purpose so I cannot verify this .

I can't speak for GX740 but GX800 was one of the most accurate LCD TV I have ever inspected in recent years , which translate into very natural and comfortable viewing experience especially with the support of both Dolby Vision and HDR10 +.
And the additional features like dynamic tone mapping which is absence in many of the mid-range TV is a sweet bonus.

C) if the distance around 1 - 2 meter, which is better 55 or 65?

Despite the general guide, it really depends on your personal preference. imagine going to a cinema sitting at the front row seat. too big doesnt always means better.

I would say settle for 55 and up your budget for a better sound system.

65" as always

Hi, any idea when Panasonic 2020 TV model will be introduced ?

https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/telev...4K-OLED-TV.html

Thanks !

Malaysia side delay in introduction due to MCO ?

Went to SenQ and Harvey Norman today. They seems to be clearing 2019 TV's ! I am shortlisting

- Panasonic GX800
- Sony X8500G

One salesman claimed that GX800 has remote control problem. Have difficulty to press buttons and sometimes the TV hang. Not sure to believe him or not.

If we are to wait for 2020 TV models, do they usually give say 10% discount, if there is promo ? Thinking whether to buy the 2019 model or wait for the new 2020 model.........

The 2019 models are having big discounts now.

If you are not a SERIOUS Sony PlayStation 4 Pro gamer, then go for Panasonic. You can buy a new Remote Control easily online from Panasonic or Order from nearby Pana Shop.

Of course, buy the TV you like the most based on your eye and not our advise.

For me, I OWNED the last model supported 3D from Panasonic. Furthermore, the MPEG player in Panasonic play many more MKV then Sony. Bring thubdrive with HDR UHD 4K MKV to test the model.....

Thanks !

Not Sony PlayStation kaki.

Looking at the price, after discount, the Sony X8500G is about RM4949. Panasonic GX800 is RM6070. So price wise Sony would be better. Both 65".

Both looks good to me. Spec wise not sure which one would be better.

Reliability wise, both brand OK ? Has Samsung TV before, but some concern on its power supplies.

As you are aware this is a Panasonic thread. So buy Panasonic with 4 years extended warranty.

Yes, I know this is Panasonic thread. Trying to get some opinion there.

Thanks for your response and info !
