Welcome to T3’s Panasonic GZ2000 review – please note that the GZ2000 has now been replaced by the new Panasonic HZ2000, as of 2020. What follows is our original review of this TV.

While OLED TVs produce fantastically rich pictures – hence why so many of our best TV picks use the technology – there is one area where it traditionally struggles against its LCD nemesis: Brightness.

With the GZ2000 OLED model, though, Panasonic thinks it’s come up with a solution. This set, uniquely, takes the usual LG-made panels found in every OLED TV and applies some proprietary Panasonic hardware innovation to them to deliver nearly 20% more brightness than its nearest OLED rival.

Add in some outstanding Hollywood-inspired processing that’s designed to provide images as close to what directors and editors see as possible, and the GZ2000 really is the home cinema dream machine serious home cinema fans have been waiting for.

We’ve tested the Panasonic TX-65GZ2000, which is the 65-inch model. There’s also a 55-inch model, called the TX-55GZ2000. It’s only available in those two sizes.

Panasonic GZ2000 review: Price and features

Not surprisingly considering that it relies on exclusive Panasonic hardware, the GZ2000 series costs more than most OLED TVs. In fact, depending on what you compare it to, it costs a lot more. The LG B9 is more half the price, and that’s still an OLED TV.

Panasonic never intended the GZ2000 to pull in the masses, though. The brand has plenty of other much more affordable OLEDs in its range (The Panasonic GZ950 is slightly cheaper than the equivalent LG C9) for people with tight budgets to stick to.

No; the GZ2000 is made for the sort of AV enthusiast who wants the best and will pay what it takes to get it. Or perhaps more specifically in this case, it’s aimed at the sort of AV enthusiast who wants a TV that can give them images that get as close as possible to the way their creators intended them to look.

Trying to get much detail from Panasonic on exactly how the new brightness-boosting hardware built into the GZ2000 works is like getting blood from a stone. Clearly the venerable brand is not keen on others copying its work. Essentially, though, the tech builds on techniques Panasonic picked up during its years of plasma TV dominance, by introducing more efficient power management and better panel cooling.

The cooling part is particularly important since heat is a key contributor to screen burn, where prolonged exposure of OLED panels to bright static image elements can eventually see a permanent shadow of those elements being left behind. Panasonic is adamant that the way its technology works completely removes the possibility of the GZ2000’s extra brightness increasing the likelihood of screen burn. Certainly we saw no hint of it during our time with the set.

In a bid to put some numbers on Panasonic’s brightness claims, we measured the GZ2000’s light output when showing a white HDR box covering 10% of an otherwise black screen at just about 1,000 nits. The closest any other OLED brand has got to this is LG, with its C9, E9 and W9 panels. But even these only manage around 850 nits in their very brightest settings.

The 1,000-nit figure is particularly important in today’s world of high dynamic range (HDR) video, since that’s the peak light level achieved by the professional OLED mastering monitor many mastering studios have been using when finalising the look of films and TV shows. So in theory, at least, the GZ2000 should be able to track the light levels of HDR content more accurately than other OLED TVs.

The ‘as the director intended’ flourishes of the GZ2000 don’t stop there, though. Panasonic has long had a laboratory in Hollywood that works with directors, colourists and other creatives to find ways of reproducing more of the look created on £30,000 pro mastering monitors using the consumer TVs people have at home. And with the GZ2000, the results of this collaboration have resulted in a new generation of its HCX Pro video processor, together with picture tuning by top Hollywood colourist Stefan Sonnenfeld.

Sonnenfeld is the co-founder of renowned post-production house Company 3, and has worked on films as huge as Wonder Woman 1984, Top Gun: Maverick, and Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. So Panasonic getting Sonnenfeld to both help tune and endorse its flagship OLED TVs is quite the coup.

The HCX Pro processor is particularly focused on colour, combining with advanced dynamic colour look up table (LUT) technology to replicate the subtle tones and variations professional colour graders want you to see. The HCX Pro processor also applies significant power and proprietary know-how to the difficult ‘near black’ part of OLED picture performance, keeping subtle gradations where other panels start to look noisy or ‘rough’.

The processor works, too, to match the sharpness of pictures to the levels selected in the mastering studio. This minimises the chance for the GZ2000 to make pictures either too soft or too sharp, as can often happen when content passes through a TV’s processing engine.

One final great touch of the HCX Pro system is that it introduces support for all the key HDR formats: HDR10, HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG. Most rival TVs drop either HDR10 or Dolby Vision from their list of supported formats – even though both HDR10 and Dolby Vision content is now widely available.

The only disappointment about the GZ2000’s picture features is the lack of support for key gaming aids such as variable refresh rates and automatic game mode switching. Though the set’s game mode does deliver a satisfactorily low input lag time of 21ms, it does all mean that gaming is an afterthought after movies.

The Panasonic GZ2000 isn’t just interested in picture quality. It also sports an innovative audio system – designed in conjunction with Panasonic-owned audio brand Technics – that combines built-in Dolby Atmos decoding with a powerful multi-channel speaker array. There are even drivers built into the TV’s top that fire upwards, to create the distinctive Dolby Atmos height effect.

Panasonic GZ2000 review: picture performance

The GZ2000’s new hardware design really does take OLED performance to new heights. Especially when it comes to the increasingly important picture element of brightness.

Fed a wide range of HDR sources, the 65GZ2000 consistently produces them with more brightness than any other OLED TV released to date. Daylight exterior shots look comfortably lighter right across the screen, for instance, than they do even on LG’s 9 series of OLEDs.

Bright highlights of dark scenes, such as street lamps or candles, radiate with a gorgeous intensity thanks to the 65GZ2000’s unique combination of unprecedented OLED brightness and OLED’s ability to position an image’s darkest pixel right alongside its brightest one with none of the ‘cross pollution’ associated with LCD’s external backlights.

Most surprisingly of all, even though the 65GZ2000 delivers bright HDR shots with a higher baseline light level than other OLEDs, it still finds another brightness gear for the absolute most intense HDR highlights – direct sun shots, reflections on metal or glass and so on. There’s no sense of the bright end of HDR’s light spectrum getting compressed.

The extra brightness headroom helps the 65GZ2000’s colours, too. Very bright tones, in particular, look more natural and evenly balanced, without the slightly gaudy, flat appearance they can occasionally take on with less bright OLED and LCD panels.

Panasonic’s advanced colour processing is in evidence too, in the beautiful finesse with which the screen portrays even the finest of colour blends, or the faintest of colour tone shifts. This refinement helps both HDR and standard dynamic range (SDR) pictures enjoy a more immersive sense of depth, while objects have a more three-dimensional presence – especially with native 4K sources.

Focusing on the colour refinement also rams home how subtle the 65GZ2000’s light management is. Right down into the very darkest corners of the very darkest scenes, Panasonic’s flagship set delivers detail with scarcely a hint of the noise, blocking artefacts or brightness instability that other OLEDs can suffer with in such difficult picture areas.

Dark scenes on the 65GZ2000 reveal, too, that the hardware measures introduced to boost brightness haven’t compromised OLED’s traditional black level strengths. Its dark scenes still enjoy superbly deep, consistent black colours. And these in turn play their part in underlining the screen’s emphatic colour and contrast.

The Panasonic 65GZ2000’s premium control over colour and light contributes to a lovely sense of natural 4K detail and sharpness, too. There’s never any doubt with good 4K sources that you’re watching a 4K screen, and there’s never any doubt when watching an HD source that it’s being converted to 4K with plenty of finesse and skill. At the same time, though, there’s no sense of the image being over sharpened. Especially if you use the True Cinema preset.

Motion is effectively handled, too – irrespective of whether or not you use the 65GZ2000’s motion processing (though stick to its gentlest setting if you do use it).

There are a couple of minor picture issues. First, strangely the 65GZ2000 can lose a touch of shadow detail in very dark shots compared with cheaper models in Panasonic’s OLED range. This is a fairly small point, though, and I suspect some viewers won’t mind at all trading it for the 65GZ2000’s deeper black levels.

Second, colours aren’t quite as vivacious as they are with the Standard picture preset on LG’s premium 9 series OLEDs. This is possibly, maybe even likely a deliberate side effect of Panasonic’s FOCUS on accuracy. But if so, it might have been nice if Panasonic had provided at least one picture preset that really lets its hair down on the colour front.

Panasonic GZ2000 review: sound quality

With five speakers and a massive 140W of power to play with, you’d expect the GZ2000 to deliver a potentially class-leading sound performance. While it’s certainly not bad, it doesn’t quite scale the heights we’d hoped for.

In the plus column, the upfiring speakers create a genuine sense of height/verticality in the TV’s ‘wall’ of sound. There’s a surprisingly effective portrayal of relative height and left/right height effect positioning in this vertical sound wall, too.

The 140W of power helps deliver plenty of raw volume, and propels the sound away from the TV’s bodywork to create a wider soundstage. Yet despite the size of the sound, it generally does very well at keeping all the subtle effects within the soundstage coherent.

So what’s the problem? First, despite the TV including a forward-facing ‘soundbar’ hanging off its bottom edge, the sound struggles to project forward into the room. This leaves it sounding a bit indirect and low on impact.

A lack of clarity during dense soundtrack moments, meanwhile, can leave them sounding a bit muddled and swallowed. Bass performance is OK but doesn’t reach as deep as we’d hoped, and voices can feel a bit weedy and abstracted from the rest of the mix.

Panasonic does provide the option of adding a (not included) external subwoofer via the headphone jack. We weren’t able to try this during our tests, but it’s likely worth doing if you don’t already have a separate sound system. Although, if you’re spending this much on a TV designed to be the pinnacle of home cinema quality, you probably do.

Panasonic GZ2000 review: design and usability

The Panasonic GZ2000 only shows off the usual ultra slim profile associated with OLED TVs in its top left and right quadrants. The rest of the rear is actually quite chunky; a necessary result of its built-in speaker system and heat dissipation required for that bright screen.

The 65GZ2000 also presents a slightly larger face to the world than most 65-inch OLED TVs, thanks to the significant forward-facing speaker bar that hangs off its bottom edge.

While more ‘function over form’ in its approach than most OLED TVs, though, its impressive build quality still gives it an air of class.

It’s very easy to use, too. A simple icon-based home screen complete with multiple scrollable content ‘decks’ gives you a slick and easy way of finding content. The home screen is also easy to customise, and there’s voice control support if you’re fond of talking to inanimate objects.

The only issue with Panasonic’s My Home Screen 4.0 Smart interface is that it’s not as rich in apps as most rival systems. The lack of both Apple TV and Disney is particularly glaring in 2020. Though you can, of course, get those apps via external devices if you don’t mind spending extra on them.

Panasonic GZ2000 review: Verdict

Okay, the Panasonic GZ2000’s sound isn’t quite as good as hoped, and its Smart system is lacking a couple of big hitters. But these are both solvable problems.

If you want a TV that delivers HDR more convincingly than any other OLED to date, and can actually reproduce pictures at home that look as close as possible to those the filmmakers are crafting in their mastering suites, this is the set for you. It is, put simply, the best TV for watching movies on.

The brightness even means it erodes the advantages that LCD TVs have for viewing in bright rooms during the day – though it’s still only as bright as upper-mid-range TVs, while the top tier ones that match it for price are still much, much brighter than this goes (but won’t match it for accuracy and that richness in dark images).

The set is also, inevitably, not cheap by today’s standards. You can get an 8K TV for this price… but it won’t have the purity of this set. If you can afford it, this is the best OLED has ever been.

Panasonic JX850 review

This Panasonic a 4K LED Dolby Vision TV is a Smart buy if you’re after a screen suitable for movies, sports and 60Hz gaming. Using an HDR Bright Panel Plus screen, it’s particularly good in rooms with high ambient light.

Panasonic is best known for the cinematic image quality of its 4K screens like the JZ2000, but with the JX850 it’s looking to satisfy a rather different demographic with a much lower price. Here, overall panel luminosity is high, making this a screen for bright room sports and gaming fans.

The more affordable JX- model in the Panasonic stable, the JX850 lacks the 120Hz HDR Cinema Display Pro panel used in the range-topping JX940. It also drops Dolby Vision IQ, found on that step-up model.

However, the TV does boast Filmmaker mode with Intelligent Sensing, and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 Adaptive formats, in addition to the HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma). So it’s certainly no slacker.

Audio compatibility extends to include Dolby Atmos, which can be routed from the set over HDMI eARC to an external sound system. All this with starting at £529 for a 50in model which is the one on test here.

Design Build

The JX850 looks and feels premium for that reasonable price. The screen has a wafer-thin bezel and sits on a wide pedestal, which slots in like two separate feet. The panel itself is positioned on top of the frame, creating a novel two-step border; it’s a design trick we’ve seen before from the Band, but it adds a premium flourish.

Edge-lit, it’s slim at just 63mm, and tips the scale at 16kg with a stand (which, it has to be said, requires quite some assembly!).

There are three HDMI inputs, all ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), and there’s eARC for sending audio to a soundbar. There’s no support for 120Hz playback which requires HDMI 2.1, so next-gen gamers hoping to see their consoles like the PS5 hit 120fps will need to look elsewhere.

Additional connections include analogue AV, a digital optical audio output and Ethernet, to support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Dual Bluetooth connectivity means the set will transmit to two paired headphones simultaneously, for private listening which is neat. There are also two USB ports should you need them.

The TV comes with a button-heavy remote control that includes shortcuts for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Rakuten TV, YouTube and Freeview Play.

Specs Features

The JX850 runs the latest version of Panasonic’s own Smart TV portal, my Home Screen 6.0. This new iteration introduces My Scenery, which allows users to select images and videos to provide background ambience – a little like Samsung’s The Frame – and also comes with an On Timer which allows you to set a wake-up call, with channel selection.

The JX850 also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can use voice commands to check the weather or news, as well as control the screen.

Streaming service support covers all the top line attractions, including Netflix, Prime Video, Rakuten, Apple TV, Brit Box, YouTube and Disney.

The set also has a Freeview Play tuner, which delivers all main channel UK Catch-Up TV services, including BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5 and UKTV Play – and yes, the BBC iPlayer app supports 4K. However, there’s no satellite tuner option on this model.

Despite the lack of 120Hz, and VRR (variable refresh rate), the screen is a decent buy for console owners. I measured input lag at 10.4ms (1080/60) with Game mode selected. That should be more than good enough to keep you ahead of the competition.

Picture Sound Quality

The JX850 certainly makes good on its Bright Panel Plus promise of higher than average picture levels. The panel has a wide colour gamut, for maximum pop.

The set runs Panasonic’s next-gen HCX Pro AI processor, which in addition to the usual selection of image presets (Normal, Cinema, True Cinema, Sport, Game, Custom and Dynamic), offers an Auto AI picture setting, which is Smart enough to detect content and adjust image parameters accordingly.

Any suspicions Auto AI would not sensibly balance the demands of movies and sport prove largely unfounded, and for most users, this would be my recommended viewing option. But it does favour image interpolation, courtesy of Panasonic’s icy smooth Intelligent Frame Creation cocktail.

I rate the TV’s HDR performance slightly above average for its class. Peak HDR brightness was measured just shy of 500 nits using the Normal preset, within a 10% measurement window, and the Adaptive Backlight set to Off.

Watch Dolby Vision content, and the viewing options change to Dolby Vision Bright, Dolby Vision Dark and Dolby Vision Vivid. My preference here was for Dolby Vision Dark, as the set is intrinsically bright to start with.

Dolby Vision Bright seems to rob the image of contrast and punch. When watched in a room with high ambient light, Dolby Vision Vivid actually looked pretty good. However, when you select Dolby Vision Vivid, motion interpolation on its Max setting kicks in, with smoothing clearly visible.

Edge lighting invariably brings issues. I noted some backlight uniformity problems, with light pooling around the bottom of the screen, but this is only really noticeable in certain situations, for example when watching a letterbox movie. For general full-screen viewing, the evenness of tone is quite acceptable.

Panasonic describes the set as having Local Dimming Pro technology, but this shouldn’t be confused with true local dimming and zone control. It’s actually a reference to some sophisticated light control around the edge of the panel.

The set has a fairly routine two-channel audio system, powered by 2x10W amplification. Audio modes cover Standard, Music, Speech, Stadium and User. Onboard audio is perfunctory, but not short of volume.

The Sports preset boosts greens and blues in the image, and also applies post-processing on the audio front to create an enhanced sense of ambience. It’s quite effective.

Helpfully, the JX850 is compatible with Dolby Atmos, and will route immersive audio out of the set to a compatible soundbar for more cinematic sound.

Price

The JX850 is available in 40-, 50-, 58- and 65in screen sizes (TX-40JX850B, TX-50JX850B, TX-58JX850B and TX-65JX850B), priced at £599, £529, £599 and £699.99 respectively.

The model on our test bench is the 50-incher. The line is flanked by the JX940 series (available in 55-, 65- and 75in sizes), and the JX800 series (40-, 50, 58- and 65in).

Panasonic doesn’t sell TVs in North America, or a corresponding model in Australia, although there are similarities with the GX850, available in 55-, 65- and 75in models (TH-55GX850A, TH-65GX850A and TH-75GX850A).

For more options, check our best budget TV chart.

Verdict

In many ways, the JX850 is an atypical LED TV from Panasonic. It’s clearly got traditional LG and Samsung buyers in its sights, offering a performance optimised for daylight rather than late-night viewing.

The brand’s HCX Pro AI processor, with its Auto AI picture setting, is particularly impressive. I also like the brand’s customisable My Home Smart platform and the screen’s overall design is the right side of premium.

Its gaming appeal is also considerable, provided you’re not fixated on HFR playback, thanks to its low latency performance but there’s no 120Hz support here.

Other small downsides include a basic sound system and some pooling from the edge lighting, particularly when watching letter-box content.

Long story short: the Panasonic JX850 is an excellent screen given its upper budget price tag, and well worth short-listing.

Panasonic Reveals OLED, Mini-LED LED/LCD TVs for 2023

North American videophiles are out of luck again when it comes to Panasonic’s OLED, Mini-LED, and LED TVs for 2023. Japanese, European, and Middle Eastern consumers win big with some excellent new models.

For those that live in the UK, Japan, Ireland, most of Europe, and other select markets including parts of the Middle East and Africa, Panasonic has announced the forthcoming availability of its 2023 TV lineup which includes several 4K UHD Smart OLED, Mini-LED, and LED/LCD TV models.

Tip: Panasonic does not market TVs in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, or China.

Once the go-to-brand when Plasma TVs were in their prime, Panasonic’s TV business hasn’t been the same since those sets were discontinued in 2014.

What makes this limited market distribution a sore point with consumers is that Panasonic TVs are well-reviewed as some of the best on the market, especially their OLED models, and it looks like their 2023 lineup is not going to disappoint those that have the opportunity to purchase one.

For those that live in a Panasonic TV market, here are brief highlights of what their 2023 OLED and mid-to-high-end LED/LCD TV models offer.

Tip: The product page links provided are from Panasonic’s UK and Ireland Website.

Panasonic 2023 OLED TVs

MZ2000 Series

This is Panasonic’s 2023 flagship TV that was first shown at the 2023 CES. Why they showed this model at CES is a mystery because it was never intended to be available in the U.S.; a move that makes consumers more frustrated that Panasonic isn’t in the U.S. market.

That being said, this model series has top-notch features including an LG Display Meta OLED panel. This includes MLA (Micro Lens Array) with boosted OLED brightness levels right up there with some of the best LCD-based TVs. To maintain brightness stability, Panasonic also includes its own heat-sink feature. Panasonic labels this panel/heatsink structure as “Master OLED Ultimate.”

Tip: The OLED Meta panel is not used on the 77-inch model.

The HCX Pro AI processor and Hollywood tuning ensure accurate color and HDR picture quality. HDR support includes both HDR10 Adaptive (developed by Samsung) and Dolby Vision IQ.

Filmmaker Mode is also included which disables all unnecessary picture and motion processing that distracts from the accurate display of film-based content.

New gaming features for 2023 include NVIDIA G-Sync Compatibility, True Game Mode, Source-Based Tone Mapping (SBTM), and Game Sound Modes.

Panasonic’s proprietary 360° Soundscape Pro (with Dolby Atmos) is further enhanced by an upgraded Bass Booster algorithm for better low-frequency output.

The MZ2000 includes Panasonic’s My Home Screen (ver 8.0) Smart TV OS.

MZ1500 Series

The MZ1500 shares many features of the MZ2000 but incorporates a step-down “Master OLED Pro” panel (LG display OLED EX) which doesn’t include the added benefit of MLA technology. However, Panasonic still includes its heatsink system.

The MZ1500 also includes the same HCX Pro AI processor, Filmmaker Mode, HDR10 Adaptive, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos sound system, and gaming features as the MZ2000.

However, for more placement flexibility, the MZ1500 has a swivel base. The TV also incorporates Dynamic Theatre Surround Pro (includes Dolby Atmos) delivered via front-firing speakers and a built-in subwoofer.

The MZ1500 includes Panasonic’s My Home Screen (ver 8.0) Smart TV OS.

• Panasonic TX-65MZ1500 (65-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-55MZ1500 (55-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-48MZ1500 (48-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-42MZ1500 (42-inches): Price Coming Soon

MZ980 Series

The MZ980 is only available in the UK (the near equivalent model for other markets will be designated as the MZ1000).

This TV model series incorporates an OLED EX panel from LG Display without added MLA or Panasonic’s heat sink technologies (labeled simply as 4K OLED). As a result, this TV can’t get as bright as the MZ1500.

The MZ980 features the same HCX Pro AI processor as the MZ2000 and MZ15900 for precise video upscaling and processing.

Other features include True Game Mode, FreeSync and G-Sync, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), my Home Screen 8.0, and Theatre Surround Pro (includes Dolby Atmos).

The MZ980 includes Panasonic’s My Home Screen (ver 8.0) Smart TV OS.

MZ800

One distinguishing feature of this model series is that it incorporates the Android TV platform (which also includes Chromecast Built-in) instead of Panasonic’s My Home Screen 8.0.

HDR10 and Dolby Vision are supported but not HDR10 Adaptive or Dolby Vision IQ. Dynamic Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos are included as well as a built-in subwoofer.

• Panasonic TX-65MZ800 (65-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-55MZ800 (55-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-48MZ800 (48-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-42MZ800 (42-inches): Price Coming Soon

MZ700 Series

This TV is almost identical to the MZ800 (including the inclusion of Android TV with Chromecast Built-in) but without a built-in subwoofer or HDR10 Adaptive support.

• Panasonic TX-65MZ700 (65-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-55MZ700 (55-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-48MZ700 (48-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-42MZ700 (42-inches): Price Coming Soon

Panasonic 2023 LED/LCD Models

Although Panasonic’s TV emphasis is on OLED, they are offering two mid-to-high-end LED/LCD TVs for 2023

MX950 Series

What makes this model exciting is it that utilizes Mini-LED backlighting combined with Quantum Dot color enhancement (the first time for Panasonic). For those that can’t afford or aren’t interested in OLED TV, this is your next best option. Although it won’t be able to display absolute black or have as wide of an effective viewing angle as an OLED TV, many consumers will find that it provides an excellent viewing option for brightly lit rooms.

Additional features include the HCX Pro AI Processor, Filmmaker Mode, and Game Mode Extreme with AMD FreeSync Premium. HDR capability includes HDR10 Adaptive and Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Atmos is also supported via Panasonic Dynamic Theater Surround.

The MX950 also includes Panasonic’s my Home Screen ver 8.0 Smart TV OS.

MX800 Series

This Panasonic TV model series employs standard full array LED backlight (no miniLED or Quantum Dots) that Panasonic labels “HDR Cinema Display” which will still appeal to many consumers.

To boost picture quality, the MX800 incorporates Panasonic’s original HCX Processor. It doesn’t provide as much refinement as the rest of the models in this list but is designed to provide a pleasing result.

HDR10 and Dolby Vision support is also included but not the more precise HDR10 Adaptive or Dolby Vision IQ.

Another interesting feature of the MX800 is that instead of providing the My Home Screen or Android OS, it incorporates Amazon’s Fire TV OS streaming platform.

In support of Fire TV OS, the TV works with Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant, using the bundled Voice Remote.

• Panasonic TX-75MX800 (75-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-65MX800 (65-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-55MX800 (55-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-50MX800 (50-inches): Price Coming Soon
• Panasonic TX-43MX800 (43-inches): Price Coming Soon

Which Is The Best Led TV Among Sony Samsung And Panasonic?

Among the three brands, Sony has the most experience, having invented many popular electronics like CDs and Blu-ray discs. They are also one of the top manufacturers of TVs and FOCUS on advanced features like Smart TVs and console integration. As a result, they have some of the highest quality sets on the market. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly set or a premium model, Panasonic offers a range of options to suit your needs.

The Sony X950H offers superior video processing, excellent brightness, accurate colors, and superb local-dimming capabilities. It also supports Dolby Vision HDR, but it lacks features like HDMI 2.1. Its screen does not provide as dark a black level as Samsung or Hisense picks, and it doesn’t reduce ambient light reflections. It is not as bright as the Samsung QN90A, but it does have a decent screen and is one of the most affordable LED TVs on the market.

The more expensive 4K TVs are the most expensive, but they also come with more features. For example, the more expensive Samsung QLED TVs can handle 4K resolution, while the cheaper Panasonic models don’t. However, both brands are very similar in their picture processing and are equally impressive. But the Samsung QLEDs are much more dynamic and powerful. And it comes with some very unique features.

Which Is Best Panasonic Or Samsung?

The most obvious question in a comparison between these two TVs is which is better in terms of picture quality. While the Samsung TVs do have slightly higher prices, Panasonic’s models come at a much lower price. Nonetheless, if you want to watch high-definition content, you may find the Sony A90J to be the better option. While the Sony A90J is slightly more expensive than the Panasonic TVs, it is much cheaper and has more vibrant pictures.

When comparing the two televisions, it is important to remember that the price of a Panasonic TV can be lower than the cost of a Samsung TV. You can find similar models from both companies at Amazon, but it is important to check the ratings of each brand. For example, the Sony Shop on Amazon has a rating of 96%.
