The Panasonic TX-65HX940 is capable of an impressive picture performance, but squeezing that quality out of it takes a fair bit of patience and time, and that will be a bit off-putting to some potential buyers.

All of this year’s Panasonic OLEDs use OLED.EX panel technology. This sees the hydrogen elements found in typical OLED displays replaced with deuterium, a heavier compound capable of emitting stronger light. The best sound often adds a lot to the price of a TV, and external sound solutions are usually a far better option. Panasonic has decided to keep things on the economical side with the HX940 and fitted a standard two 10W speakers system to the rear. Users get some control over the precise flavour of that audio with Dolby Atmos, Bass Boost and Surround sound processing options, but the inescapable result is a presentation that’s clear but also thin.

LZ1000: The LZ1000 uses the same processor as the two models above it but its Master OLED panel is a step down in terms of quality. It has plenty of other things going for it, however, with HDMI 2.1 ports that support next-gen gaming features, Cinema Surround Pro audio, Dolby Atmos and a swivelling stand. This year also marks the arrival of new screen sizes across the Panasonic range. A 77in “cinema size” version of the LZ2000 will be available in addition to 55in and 65in models, while the LZ1500 gets new 48in and 42in options to complement the 55in and 65in variants available last year.When a Bluetooth device is connected to the TV, it is possible that the Bluetooth audio output may not be synchronized (i.e. be delayed) with relation to the images on the screen. This is not a defect of the TV or the device. The delay time will differ depending on the device.

Equipped with Bluetooth® our MX650 Series allows you to pair your TV with any Bluetooth™ enabled audio device, such as soundbars, headphones or speakers wirelessly and thus enhance your audio experience even further. The bigger problem is when it comes to the action sequences. This sound system barely delivers with the opening car chase of the film.
