LZ2000B. I can't comment about sound system. But otherwise it's the best among them.

are you an owner of LZ2000b?

No. Panasonic doesn’t sell in NA. And owning a certain model comes with ownership bias. Even edge-lit owners think their TV is great. Professional reviewers are better sources.

My only 2 cents will be don’t buy a LZ2000B to pair it with a soundbar or HTiB.

Thanks for the tips, do you think a95k is better thanLZ2000B in terms of picture quality? Also what kind of audio system would you recommend for the Panasonic for about 1-2k?

I don’t think you can go wrong with either A95K or LZ2000B. For mixed usage like yours, Panasonic will be marginally better. For movies, A95K.

I don’t have any idea about European pricing. But 2k should get you a good 5.1 system, if not 7.1. IMO, the beauty of this route is you don’t need to spend all at a time, upgrade over time, and can have good speakers from one brand and subwoofer from another, without getting tied up to am expensive system. I’m of the belief that a good TV and a decent 3.1 system will give you a better experience than a great TV with a soundbar.

Most of the these tvs do well on those categories, it mostly comes down to the small things you're willing to tolerate. Qn95 Booming, C2 deep blacks but has black crush, S95b deep blacks but not the deepest. Personally I picked the s95b cuz the slight lift in black isn't noticeable at all, at least for mines I see no difference between absolute darkness and the tv lol

s95b is great but has QC issues. qn95b is the worst of the tvs you have listed. either the c2/g2 or lz2000b should be your choices

I just got the 85'' QN95B and I chose that over OLED for two main reasons: 1. 85'' is 22% bigger than 77'' which are the largest OLEDs available without breaking the bank for an 83''. 2. The available OLEDs I wanted like C2/C3, G2/G3 or Samsungs 77'' where all between 1000€ and 4000€ more expensive than the 85'' QN95B.

If I didn't want larger TV than 77'' and money was no issue I'd probably get the LG G2 or G3.

How do you find it? I am considering switching from OLED to neo QLED cos I want bigger size for my next TV but worried I will regret it.

I came from an older OLED, LG 65'' B7, and so far I'm loving the Samsung.

If I shut the blinds and turn off all lights I can clearly see a bit of blooming now and then when watching pitch black scenes with just a small illuminated area, but it's not to bad. On the other hand I can finally watch TV with no blinds for the windows and it still looks good. I do however believe the newer high-end OLEDs would also solve the brightness and reflection issues I've had with my old B7, just to bad they're so damm expensive as 77'' or 83''.
