-HDTVtest 2020 TV shootout-
Our 2020 TV shootout event has been severely disrupted by the pandemic, and we have to decide whether to proceed or not with a brand new format, where all the TVs will be calibrated and then scored by ourselves.
2020 TVs being considered for the shootout include:
1) LG CX
2) Panasonic HZ2000
3) Samsung Q95T or Q950TS
4) Sony A8
We would also like your feedback on:
1) whether to use 55-inch or 65-inch models;
2) whether to include a Philips 935 OLED if it's released in time for the shootout.

We picked the best TV of 2020 in our annual TV shootout where the:
LG CX,
the Panasonic HZ2000,
the Philips 935,
the Samsung Q90T
and the Sony A8
were compared vs a Sony BVM-X300 reference mastering monitor.
All competing TVs were 55 inches in screen size, and were calibrated in SDR and HDR modes to the common standards used within the film and broadcast industry, perceptually matched to the Sony X300.
Eight categories (with more subcategories) were judged, namely:
blacks & shadow detail,
colour accuracy,
HDR tone mapping,
colour accuracy,
video processing,
screen uniformity,
bright-room performance,
as well as gaming.
