If you're looking for a 4-inch 55K TV that really does it all, the Panasonic JZ2000 can help. Panasonic has long had a reputation for delivering exceptional OLED TVs, thanks to the use of a custom Master HDR Professional Edition panel that raises the brightness normally possible on an OLED screen. This year's iteration doesn't change much in that regard: last year's HZ2000 effectively had the same panel and brightness, but the continued excellence of Panasonic's flagship displays, along with tweaks and improvements made to connectivity and output output. audio from the JZ2000, it could make it a shoe for the best 55-inch OLED TV we've seen this year. That's high praise indeed, in a year that saw the LG G1, a Gallery-series display that similarly bumps up in brightness compared to regular OLED screens, or the top-scoring Sony A90J. Screen of the manufacturer of televisions of the Sony. A9G 2019. But while all of these displays share excellent image quality and processing, with high-quality chipsets powering the deep black, infinite contrast, and all-out vibrancy of OLED panels, which, let's remember, come from the same Vendor (LG Display): The JZ2000 has an advantage in terms of the audio power it packs into a single display's built-in speakers. Not to mention the side speakers (new for 2021) that help extend sound into your living room or home theater, ensuring sound quality is heard clearly anywhere nearby.
The alarm sounds
(Image credit: Panasonic) The JZ125's 2000W output really shakes the walls, even if you only turn the volume up to half its potential. This marks a welcome change from the often sub-standard onboard audio of so many high-end displays, which challenge the presumption of a separate audio system in your home, or even question the dedication of consumers. . to premium audio along with the excellent image quality of these OLED displays. The OLED LG C1 and LG G1 each have just 40W total audio output, with a muddy bass response that feels preschool compared to advances in Panasonic extended audio systems. In our LG C1 review, we said the only real problem with the screen was how "audio can be all over the place, which means you'll hear booming bass and almost hissing highs with weaker dialogue when watching this blockbuster from Hollywood. For us it happened during Falcon and The Winter Soldier, where the sound effects were fantastic but the voices of the live actors got lost in the mix. It's a small glitch, and it's true that it can be fixed by choosing a sound preset from Improved dialogue or by turning on volume leveling, albeit at the expense of bass output, which means it's a tradeoff.The Sony A90J certainly impressed our review on the audio side, though its Acoustic Surface Audio+ system, which literally shakes the screen panel to output sound, could be a bit of a Marmite option, which seems expansive to some and a bit confusing to others.

We wrote in our review that “The JZ2000's speakers are truly amazing for built-in audio, being able to recreate both the delicate step of a staircase and the roaring explosion of a car crash in equal measure. You get crisp audio detail along with powerful bass response, and while some subwoofers and surround sound systems can outperform these, you just won't get better built-in sound on a smart TV just yet. “While any TV has a 'sweet spot' for picture and sound (usually in the center), the wide viewing angles of the OLED panel and side-firing sound from the JZ2000's speakers mean it's sitting just about anywhere in the room. your living room should be an awesome movie night. And it's this combination of picture and sound capabilities that makes the JZ2000 an all-in-one home theater in a way that the LG C1... just isn't.
Check all the boxes
There are definitely more reasons to buy a TV than its audio performance. But in an age where OLED, even brightness-enhanced OLED, is becoming standard on some flagship lines and the HDMI 2.1 specification is available on mid-range and high-end equipment, audio remains a wildly variable spec on everyone's screens. the sizes. . and price tags. Panasonic's TV department is also smart enough to vary that audio output between its OLED screens, settling at 30W on the entry-level JZ980 and JZ1000, gradually shifting to 125W on its flagship JZ2000 model. Unsurprisingly, you'll be paying a lot for this high-end Panasonic screen. It starts at €2,699 for a 55-inch waist, going up to €3,499 for a 65-inch model. Both also have the same sound system, which means you can get plenty of audio punch from even their smaller size option. If you're looking for an OLED TV in the UK that sounds as good as it looks in 2021 and can do all of this at 55'', rather than needing a wall space of 65 inches or more, the JZ2000 will definitely should be on your radar.
