About this deal

Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 29th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) The TX-55DX600 wears its 55-inch screen handsomely. Its angled-in silver screen frame is exceptionally trim, in keeping with the current fashion, while its centrally fixed stand can be mounted either way round, with its shiny legs straight out, or facing inwards to create an arc in front of the screen. I preferred the straight look – but it’s nice to have the choice. Focusing on the HDMIs, as is all-too necessary these days, the JZ1500B has two that are HDMI 2.1-certifiied. These support 4K@120Hz, VRR and ALLM. There are some limitations, though, in that 4K@120Hz and VRR can’t be used simultaneously, and 4K@120Hz signals of all types are displayed with the vertical resolution halved. That latter issue sounds like a big one, but it makes surprisingly little difference in action, and both limitations are due to be fixed via firmware updates before the end of 2021. It’s worth noting that 4K@120Hz and Dolby Vision can’t currently be used together either, and no fix for that has been announced. Dolby Vision does work at 60Hz, though, and without any of the faff that you have to go through with the Sony A80J and A90J.

JZ2000: Powered by the HCX Pro AI Processor and with four HDMI inputs, two of which are 2.1 certified, the JZ2000 is last year’s top-of-the-range OLED. Its audio system is “Tuned by Technics” and it uses Panasonic’s premium Master OLED Pro panel.Detailed 4K Ultra High Definition picture with the extra colour and brightness of High Dynamic Range LZ800: The LZ800 is Panasonic’s cheapest OLED in 2022 and as such, is the least well-specced. The panel is of the basic OLED variety, while Cinema Surround replaces Cinema Surround Pro. HDMI 2.1 features are still supported, however, as are Dolby Atmos, Filmmaker mode, Dolby Vision IQ and Auto AI picture processing. LZ980: Available in four screen sizes, the LZ980 uses Panasonic’s premium processor but makes do with the basic OLED panel configuration. It includes almost all of the other features found on the LZ1000, but gets a stand that doesn’t swivel. Switching to stereo music with Sunday Driver by The Raconteurs, the Panasonic struggles slightly to project the vocals but provides a pleasingly open and spacious delivery.

There is, however, one part of its picture quality make-up that sets alarm bells ringing: its use of an IPS-type LCD panel. Past experience has shown that while such panels deliver a slight boost in terms of viewing angles over the more common VA panel types, they also suffer with substantially poorer contrast. This is likely to become more of an issue now that people are starting to expect their TV pictures to look increasingly bright. Panasonic TX-55DX600B – SetupFor such an affordable TV, the TX-55DX600B offers plenty of picture set-up tools. Which is just as well, actually, as I found myself tinkering extensively with some of these tools during my tests. Despite not being an HDR-capable TV, the TX-55DX600 uses one of Panasonic’s “Bright” panels and supports a wider colour spectrum than a bog-standard LCD TV. However, both features deliver only relatively minor improvements to brightness and colour compared with the more extreme technologies used in this year’s high-end HDR-capable TVs.

The 48in and 42in variants have basic OLED configuration panels, less impressive speaker setups and different stands but will of course cost rather less. By supporting 3 leading HDR (High Dynamic Range) formats our premium TVs assure best possible performance - regardless of picture source. Brightness and colour are optimized whether the source is Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR10.
