Specifically, it is an improvement, but you cannot expect a very big difference. So Panasonic has had its thinking cap on. The GZ2000 doesn’t just support ALLM, but also has an input lag of just 22ms. A complete overview of all models that Panasonic brought to market in 2019 can be found in the 2019 Panasonic TV line-up . But Panasonic also uses the speakers to give your music a more spatial experience. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. With this in mind, let’s quickly look first at the GZ1500. The Home key displays a list of options at the bottom of the screen, in a bar. The Panasonic GZ2000 uses the latest version (4.0) of the company’s My Home Screen smart platform. An OLED’s strengths reside in its ability to deliver deep blacks, while retaining shadow details just above those blacks. Although, as an end user, you obviously don't play with the volume all the time, we still find this a flaw, especially since the adjustment in timbre is remarkably strong. You may opt-out by.
There’s a full complement of video streaming apps, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and Freeview Play. This light control is particularly evident during very dark scenes, as the set picks out every last detail from even the darkest corners of the image without any hint of the near-black blocking noise or unstable local black levels most OLED TVs suffer with from time to time. You can almost smell the exhaust fumes as vehicles
fly into view, and integration between the front-facing speaker bar and the canopy of overhead sound is good. So what does that mean? The Panasonic TX-65GZ2000 comes with a full-blooded sound system from Technics built into the TV itself. The saying “if you want the best, you just have to pay for it”, though, could have been invented for the 65GZ2000. The GZ2000 doesn’t just look good, it also sounds good with a Technics audio system that supports Dolby Atmos using upward-firing speakers. pretty interesting.
A handy tip is the picture mode key at the top, right next to the on / off key. The Panasonic GZ2000 is very easy to install, and the build quality of the cabinet, brackets and screws is top notch. Panasonic offers a lot of settings and sometimes it is a real search to find something in the menus. Some OLED models are known to be plagued with irregularities on a dark background: vertical stripes, partly as a result of temporary burn-in. With dedicated surround speakers both front and rear, it promises an out-of-the-ordinary sound experience. That’s a lot of money you could otherwise have spent on 4K Blu-rays….
The upshot is better colour accuracy and brighter images. Under the front glass is a specially made OLED panel from LG Display, originally developed for professional use. The caveat is that the GZ2000 comes with a price
tag that makes many competitor OLEDs look impressively affordable, and that it may even be over-specified for many home cinema users. But the most striking at the rear are of course the upward-facing built-in speakers. And that from LCD! And I suspect that as well adding more bass, doing this would take some pressure of the slightly over-stressed mid-range. But especially the audio performance is disappointing. Since Panasonic stopped selling its TVs in the US, I don’t cover them on Forbes as much as I used to. Eventually we listen to a number of songs on volumes 35, 50, 65, and 75. These exclusive models do not appeal to the masses, but are instead tailored for enthusiasts who are extremely concerned about image quality, and not least willing to pay for it. The GZ2000 is certainly not equipped with a less handsome sound solution (more on that), but it is better concealed. It’s also the fact that this extra brightness is delivered against a backdrop of the sort of deep, rich black levels that OLED is renowned for. With those results, the GZ2000 shoots to the top of the OLED rankings.
Instead, you get a cheap plastic remote with swampy buttons and a low-quality feel. Panasonic says this equates to an average picture level (APL) improvement of around 30 per cent. This customisation feature keeps things clean and simple, making it easy to quickly find all the apps you use regularly.
