You hate one company that you feel overprices their luxury goods. Top tier TVs are luxury goods. Of all the silly first world problems to invest so much of your energy into.

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

I will not but a new TV without an ATSC 3.0 tuner.

Robert Zohn · 07-31-2025, 06:24 PM

I apreciate your post ^ and we agree that ATSC 3.0 is very important.

For anyone who wants to add ATSC 3.0 OTA we have ZapperBox ATSC 3.0 NextGEN TV DVR. So this ATSC 3.0 Tuner/Decoder also has a DVR so you can record your favorite OTA content and watch when your like and also have the capibility to fast forward.

Have they resolved the DRM issue with ATSC 3.0. Built in tuners don't have a problem. The FCC needs to resolve this issue.

Robert Zohn · 07-31-2025, 09:01 PM

I have not seen any issues with the 3 ZapperBoxs we have setup.

I have one at home and one in each of our two A/V Showrooms where we distribute the ZapperBox's HDMI output to 18 Home Theater Demo Rooms and also in our main showroom where our ZapperBox is distributed to 12 TVs and one Home Theater room.

For those wondering what's going on with ATSC 3.0, here's a current sitrep video....

Panasonic's Z95B did win our July 26, 2025 4K HDR TV Shootout® Evaluation Event.

Robert Zohn · 08-11-2025, 06:58 AM

All of Sony's BRAVIA TVs in all screen sizes are on sale now! Here's just a couple examples:

BRAVIA 8 II 65" XR80M2 $3,499, sale $2,999, + we gift our clients w/$150 credit. 55" XR80M2 $2,999, Sale $2,299. + we gift our clients w/$115 credit.

All BRAVIA 5 XR50 TVs are on sale! Love the 98" XR50 $6,499.00 Original price was: $6,499..Now on sale $4,499.

Also love Sony's BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K HDR TV, 77″ $2499.99 – 65″ $1599.99 – 55″ $1499.99

And all BRAVIA 7 and BRAVIS 9 TVs are all on very aggressive sales now!

Jay Mammoth · 08-11-2025, 10:27 PM

Rather buy another 77 inch G4 for cheaper than a 65” Sony.

Robert Zohn · 08-11-2025, 10:42 PM

I like and appreciate your post, but wanted to just add that Sony's New 2025 Flagship BRABIA 8 II has the new 4th Generation QD OLED panel and several other processing upgrade enhancements vs, LG's discontinued 2024 G4 MLA OLED TV.

So of course the price difference for Sony's New 2025 will naturally be higher priced then the final closeout promotional prices for LG's G4,

I do also like the larger screen size, but being a lifetime A/V enthusiasts, I go for the largest screen size available and reasonable for my use and always, and typically a flagship model that is one of the highest rated TVs.

I want to get the Panasonic Z95B. Looks like a major win for Panasonic. But I saw in Vincent's review it has issues with posterization in Dolby Vision which is strange. Sounds like something that could be fixed in a firmware upgrade. But it would be nice for Panasonic to actually address that directly before purchasing it with the assumption that they will fix it.

Robert Zohn · 08-13-2025, 03:14 PM

I don't see any posterization with Dolby Vision or with any content on Panasonic's Z95B OLED TV.

Panasonic's New Flagship Z95B Multi-Stack OLED TV came in first place for 4K HDR at our July 26, 2025 TV Shootout® Evaluation Event.
