Cheapest I've seen the Panasonic's Flagship 2022 55" TV with an impressive inbuilt sound system. Quite a few places have dropped the price by £300 today. Chose John Lewis to post as some people get staff discounts or have vouchers for their and some people like to take out the screen burn in protection JL offer.
If spending this sort of money and want it professionally calibrated to ISF standard before receiving it for £199 then Crampton & Moore is where to get it. (Although the calibrated picture right out of the box is meant to be the best on any TV currently on the market) Considering getting my Sony A95K calibrated by ISF and had a quote for over £300 to get it done by them, so a decent saving overall on calibration price

sorted byWhen I popped into RS the chap there said it's a waste of time spending money on professional calibration and just do it yourself by looking on YouTube or elsewhere online. Probably agree with him as most people wouldn't truly notice the difference. Classy Tech Calibrations is a YouTube channel that offers calibration settings.
There are loads online providing calibration settings for the top end TVs and is probably the route I'd take. Just need to put a bit of effort in.
Just my opinion though.
Everybody's viewing perspective is different. So need to decide if to stick with this or try some other calibrated settings or get it done professionally
The LZ1500 is meant to be exactly the same spec wise as the LZ2000 minus the TV speakers, so if the sound isn't important to you, may be worth waiting to see if the LZ1500 drops in price in the coming weeks also (edited)
Appreciate not everyone wants or needs their TV calibrated, but if spending this sort of money, some people may, although as said in the description, out of the box this Panasonic OLED is meant to be the best calibrated picture of any 2022 TV of its competitors (edited)
I've only heard good things about the new Panasonic TVs.
only commenting as in mine when using netflix, I'm sure it defaults to the Dolby settings. and I can't use the filmmaker setting.
I haven't calibrated mine, but Im perfectly happy with the filmmaker and picture calibration out of the box
No idea if the 2000 suffers the iPlayer issue but if you're on the fence between this and Sony and use the 'free' services from BBC, ITV and C4 I'd recommend doing some digging before you buy.
I use the beta iplayer, it works flawlessly on my jz1500, as does 4 and itvx. I have constant hdmi handshake issues with the tv and devices plugged into it, its just a buggy tv overall it seems, picture is up there with the best though. (edited)
