Good deal – The Panasonic TX-55JZ1500 “5 star” television at € 1,489.00 (-16%)

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

In line with the JZ2000, the Panasonic TX-55J1500 – 55-inch (140cm) version of the Panasonic TX-65JZ1500 we tested – is an excellent TV that delivers top-notch performance across the board. It will suit both moviegoers and video game enthusiasts. Like its big brother, we can simply blame it for its lack of applications and features (AirPlay), but it is a lesser evil as it is efficient in terms of audio and video rendering.

Strong points

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

Weak points

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

As an alternative

It’s flawless for the LG 48C1 – 48 inch (122 cm) version of the LG 55C1 we tested – which, like its predecessor, is one of the most successful TVs on the market. It displays a perfectly calibrated image in SDR and HDR, very wide viewing angles and infinite contrast. The surprise comes from the rising peak of brightness which rivals that of the LG G1 yet equipped with the Oled Evo panel. The LG 48C1 will suit both moviegoers and video game enthusiasts thanks to its flawless responsiveness and the integration of the functions essential to enjoy the latest game consoles (HDMI 2.1, 4K120, VRR). Certainly one of the best Oled TVs on the market.
