I think that it's noteworthy that there was
less than 1 point (0.61) separating the
Winner and
Runner-up for the "Best Overall TV of 2017" award/title.
[Panasonic EZ1002 (
32.99 points) / LG B7 (
32.38 points)]
Personally, I would pretty much consider it a tie for 1st place. (Not to mention the fact that the Panasonic is not available to purchase in North America and is quite a bit more expensive than the LG.)
It should also be noted that they each received
2 "awards/trophies" (Pana: "Best Home Theater TV" & "Best Overall TV of 2017"; LG: "Best HDR TV" & "Best Gaming TV"), with Sony (A1) taking the last one for "Best Living Room TV".
It should also be noted that the Sony TVs
did win the "Video Processing" and "Motion" categories.
I think all 3 of those OLED TVs are very close to each other in performance and would be an excellent choice - you really couldn't go wrong with any one of them.
Lastly, as @
imagicwas quick to point out
, the two LCD/LED TVs
did in fact outperform the OLEDs in the "Bright Room" category (the Q9 edging-out the ZD9 in this case - most likely due to it's superior anti-reflective coating).
I should also add that both @
ARROW-AVand@
RobertR1, who were both at the Shootout, felt that the LG B7
should have been the overall winner (their pick) and that the Sony ZD9
should have been the runner-up for "Best HDR TV" (instead of the Pana).
