Why It’s Our Top Pick:
“We believe that movie buffs will especially take a liking to Panasonic’s HZ1000 and its many visual enhancers. We also feel that they will enjoy having the convenience of the intuitive smart TV platform it offers.
It is bound to be their choice of TV, just like how it became the go-to for Hollywood professionals.”
Features:
The HZ1000 can tackle any type of lighting thanks to Dolby Vision IQ and the Filmmaker Mode with Intelligent Sensing. With universal HDR support and a 4K resolution screen, users get the best visual quality on Netflix Calibrated Mode.
Performance:
Since this is an OLED TV, it showcases inky blacks, resulting in greater contrast and picture depth. Dolby Atmos provides a rich and deep sound for a more immersive viewing while its clutter-free user interface makes the user experience all the better.
Access hundreds of thousands of shows with smart TVs like the Panasonic HX740.
Features:
The 4K TV has an Android TV OS, as well as Chromecast and Bluetooth, giving users various sources of content. For sharper imagery, it has visual enhancers like Dolby Vision and Panasonic's picture technology, Vivid Digital Pro.
Performance:
The LED TV can display bright and dynamic colours due to the Super Bright Panel Plus feature. Mesmerising visuals are all thanks to the HX740’s wide viewing angle and borderless design.
The Panasonic HX800 is more of a budget gaming TV than a full-fledged one, but it has a few tricks of its own.
Features:
The LED TV has three HDMI 2.0 ports, which means that it can run on 4K resolution at 60Hz. Although it lacks a variable refresh rate (VRR), it does possess Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), an HDMI 2.1 feature. As a bonus, it has complete HDR support.
Performance:
Experts claim that the HX800 delivers an astoundingly low input lag, crucial for games that demand quick responses from gamers. They also mentioned that the colour accuracy is top-notch while local dimming gave good contrast for gaming in the dark.
Despite being the predecessor of the HZ1000, Panasonic’s GZ1000 still stands as a great 4K TV.
Features:
Just like its successor, the GZ1000 has an OLED display as well as universal HDR support. Users can operate the TV hands-free too, as it also works with Alexa and Google Assistant. Bluetooth functionality is available as well.
Performance:
Unlike the HZ1000's IQ version, it only has Dolby Vision but is still capable of producing consistent and accurate colours while its 4K resolution delivers detailed pictures. Besides, experts noted that its UI is simple and functional.
The feature-packed Panasonic JX700 will be money well spent.
Features:
It is equipped with complete HDR support, Dolby Vision and Filmmaker Mode with Intelligent Sensing. For convenience, it has Bluetooth and an integrated Chromecast. Moreover, it has ALLM, a feature that's more common in HDMI 2.1 despite only having HDMI 2.0 ports.
Performance:
The 4K LED TV has a Super Bright Panel that's ideal for brightly lit rooms, according to Panasonic. Gamers will also benefit from the low input lag in Game Mode that can kick in automatically thanks to ALLM.
The Panasonic G300 is a decent TV to get if you’re on a budget.
Features:
The G300 has a stylish, bezel-less design. It features basic connectivity options like three HDMI 1.4 ports and a USB port, to which users can plug in a memory stick with their desired content and enjoy the said content via Media Player.
Performance:
Together with FHD resolution, the LED TV’s slim bezels grant an immersive viewing experience to users. Users can pick from 4 picture presets or customise their own to best match the genre of the displayed media.
Looking for a decent TV that’s not too pricey? Consider Panasonic’s HX600.
Features:
The HX600 has an onboard Chromecast and Bluetooth for wireless content streaming. Should users prefer, they can opt for HDMI and USB connections. And with the presence of HDMI 2.0, the LED TV can run 4K gaming at 60Hz.
Performance:
Users will be able to indulge in dynamic colours and crisp imagery; a result of enhancers like HDR10, Dolby Vision and Vivid Digital Pro. Meanwhile, wide viewing angles help retain the vividness of the images regardless of viewing position.
The Panasonic H410 is a small TV that’s ideal for small spaces.
Features:
Just like the G300, this LED TV is targeted at the budget market. Hence, only rudimentary connectivity points - like HDMI 1.4 and USB ports - should be expected. Additionally, a Media Player feature is also available for multimedia playback.
Performance:
Users reported great visual quality for its price, owing to its HD resolution and Vivid Digital Pro. Although there were no mentions of its audio, we imagine that it would have been just as good, as users commended its overall product quality. Plus, it is Dolby Audio-equipped.
Is 32 inches too small? Then we recommend going for the 43” version of the Panasonic HS550.
Features:
The HS550 has Bluetooth and a built-in Chromecast, which are considered upgrades from the H410. Unfortunately, both devices share a downside; this LED TV is also subjected to older-generation HDMI 1.4 ports.
Performance:
With FHD resolution and Vivid Digital Pro at its helm, users can expect detailed yet vibrant picture quality, which can be maintained with a wide range of viewing angles. Users are also treated to an uncompromised audio performance by Dolby Audio.
43 inches is still not large enough? Try out the 55” variant of Panasonic’s HX655.
Features:
The HX655 has Bluetooth capability as well as a built-in Chromecast. It is equipped with Panasonic's self-developed Hexa Chroma Drive, which is flanked by HDR 10 formatting, providing a more vibrant image. Besides, Dolby Audio serves as an audio enhancer.
Performance:
The 4K TV boasts a wide viewing angle and narrow bezels, which enhances the viewing experience. On the other hand, the inclusion of Google Assistant in the LED TV makes control very convenient.
What is the Best Panasonic TV to Buy?
If you ask us, we think the best Panasonic TV to buy is our first choice, the HZ1000. But with such a high price tag, it’s not a feasible choice for all. Therefore, the "best" Panasonic TV should be defined more by the options that are within your budget.
A TV with a bounty of features can naturally feel like the "best" choice but the more attributes a TV has, the higher its cost. So do think twice and ensure that you pick a TV with features that will be put to good use.
Is Panasonic TV Better than Samsung?
This is another subjective question; Panasonic and Samsung are leaders in their rights.
Samsung is big in the QLED world. They are the developers of QLED and pride themselves on incorporating it into many of its latest product displays. QLEDs are often brighter and can produce better colours than LEDs.
Panasonic on the other hand does not dabble in the aforementioned technology; most of their TVs are made of LED panels. As LED panels have been around for longer, they are more easily manufactured at any size and resolution, which generally makes them more affordable than QLEDs.
Conclusion
We are honoured to have the opportunity to help you on this journey. No matter which brand or TV you end up purchasing, we will be glad if we’ve helped you make your decision.
