Per my other thread(s)... house renovations and changes mean it's probably time to replace my trusty Panasonic GT60 plasma. I've been super-happy with it, still am in fact but my hand is being forced slightly.
For someone that works in the film industry (with background in colour grading), the thing that matters the most to me is colour and image accuracy for movies and high-end TV. I don't really care what it looks like in the mid-afternoon sunshine
For that reason I'm still leaning towards Panasonic, with perhaps LG nearly up there with them.
With that in mind, quick question regarding Panasonic's 42" models. It seems the LZ1500 has the 'Master OLED Pro' panel, but I'm seeing reviews that mention the 42/48 sizes actually do not have this, nor the heatsink. So am I right in thinking picture performance would be exactly the same as the LZ980?
What else separates the two models at 42" sizes? They can both be found for £999 currently, are we expecting prices to go down? Or stock to disappear?
Thanks.
EDIT: I also saw on one site that the LZ1500 doesnt support Dolby TrueHD. Does that mean it can't passthrough uncompressed Atmos via eARC to a soundbar, as you would expect on a 4k disc?
