There is no indication of how many releases are planned to include DV, this doesn't really change much. Unlike DV every UHD BD must support HDR10. The benefits of DV are also substantially less apparent with sets without substandard tonemapping like LG's 2016 OLEDs. The nice thing about Sony and Panasonic OLEDs is that's less likely to be an issue so if Panasonic can deliver better processing for HDR10 than Sony they can pretty much completely mitigate not having DV.
lol
Get the b6, it has lower input lag : 27.5ms vs 34.8ms. I had the c6 and returned it for the b6, the curve is just something I can't stand and the b6 is about 15-20% brighter then the c6 due to no 3D filter so it is much closer to how bright the 2017 oled's will be
Yeah I don't get it. More DV content is coming, and from three major movie farms at that. That your shiny new, high-end, TV won't be able to display that content is not a bad thing apparently.
It won't be able to play the DV version of the film on the disk yes. But it will play the HDR10 version. So the question isn't about missing content, there is nothing wrong with including DV. Not including it doesn't matter either at this point if the HDR10 implementation is good which Panasonic's probably is.
There is far less people with nice soundsystems than there is with nice TVs which would be my other argument for better TV speakers tbh. For most people the extra bulk of a proper sound system is not practical. There is also apartments etc to consider. High end audio formats already exist. There is very little movies using more than 48Khz 24-bit, but you can do up to 192Khz 32bit on DTSHDMA/DTS:X and DTHD/Atmos, for streaming these lossless audio formats can require several megabits of bandwidth on their own with little benefit to their end users so that's why they just use AAC or some other lossy container.
. Only when it's terrible I'm able to tell. So I'm actually very happy with TV speakers and their fake surround sound... except for speech...My issue is so very specific that I'm unsure if it's worth it to spend even that much money. I'm one of those weird people who somehow are incapable of appreciating good sound
Thanks for all the help y'all. Should be delivered tomorrow so I should be able to give some impressions over the next couple of days.
Ended up getting an 65" E6. Spent forever debating between this and the B6, and whether I should get a 65" or 55". Not quite sure why I went with the E6 considering the B6 is a lot cheaper in the UK and has lower input lag (with the recent firmware update which should out in a few days over here) but I blame it on getting tired of the obsessive research and making a rash decision lol. I hope I'm happy with my purchase
Depending on the size put the panel the thinness makes it less practical and kinda ugly. For larger sets 2 people should hold the screen from the bottom from either side. Smaller sets one person is fine.
