Good deal – The Panasonic TX-55JZ1500 “4-star” television at €1,239.00

The Panasonic TX-55JZ1500 television – 55-inch (140 cm) version of the Panasonic TX-65JZ1500 that we tested – uses the Oled Professional Edition panel of the high-end JZ2000 model, but skips the Dolby Atmos audio system, which which allows it to display a slightly more contained price.

In line with the JZ2000, the Panasonic TX-55J1500 – 55-inch (140 cm) version of the Panasonic TX-65JZ1500 that we tested – is an excellent television that displays top-flight performance in all areas. It will suit both movie buffs and video game enthusiasts. Like its big brother, we can simply blame it for its lack of applications and features (AirPlay), but that’s a lesser evil as it performs well in terms of audio and video rendering.

Strong points

• Image quality in SDR and HDR.
• Unequaled brightness peak on an OLED TV.
• Powerful Intelligent Pro HCX processor (motion compensation system).
• Rotating foot.
• Filmmaker Pro Mode with Intelligent Sensing just perfect.
• Two HDMI 2.1 inputs (4K 120Hz, ALLM, VRR).

Weak points

• Limited interface (few applications, lack of AirPlay compatibility).
• Heavy, non-backlit remote.

Alternatively

The Samsung Neo Qled QE55QN95A — the 55-inch (140 cm) version of the Samsung QE65QN95A we tested — is an excellent LCD TV. The use of a Mini-Led backlighting system makes it possible to obtain a very high peak of luminosity without causing an explosion in consumption and while limiting the effect of blooming (bright halo around bright objects). The icing on the cake, the image quality is simply perfect. If we add to that the new remote control with its small solar panel and the One Connect box, it’s almost faultless for this first Samsung Ultra HD Mini-Led TV.
