Panasonic TX-65MZ800E is a high-end entry model. It has many aspects that are more than desirable and even unbeatable, modern, updated and in demand. Without a doubt, it is a television about which you will have few complaints.<\/p>\n

Design and connectivity<\/h3>\n

For the Panasonic TX-65MZ800E, a deep black\u00a0color was chosen, very correctly,\u00a0a sign of the\u00a0elegance\u00a0that the model exudes in terms of design.\u00a0It is still evident when you see how, despite the fact that its lower frame is not the narrowest in the world, together with the lack of the three following frames it creates a beautiful composition.\u00a0Likewise, the\u00a0versatility\u00a0of this television is total.<\/p>\n

Something that I find very curious about him is his\u00a0profile\u00a0.\u00a0Obviously it’s up to taste.\u00a0And although no television has a completely straight side, it has two completely different areas that are not joined by any type of ergonomic line.\u00a0The lower area of \u200b\u200bthe case is somewhat wide\u00a0to house the connections and speakers.\u00a0If we look up we see that, suddenly,\u00a0the profile becomes exclusively the panel, which is only a very few millimeters\u00a0(something, on the other hand, spectacular to hang).\u00a0Whether it is positive or not is up to everyone’s taste, since I am perfectly capable of understanding that a profile of this type is liked as much as another with smooth lines.\u00a0In any case, I think it is the least important thing to me if I have to buy a TV.<\/p>\n

The TV measures\u00a0874 x 1449 x 281 mm\u00a0and its weight is\u00a034.5 kg\u00a0as long as we consider its pedestal, of course.\u00a0This is a shiny deep black rectangle located in the central area.\u00a0But, as you have seen in the first image, we can keep only the screen, which is\u00a0839 x 1449 x 49 mm and 28.5 kg\u00a0and is placed with a\u00a0VESA of 400 x 200 mm\u00a0.\u00a0As you will see, the difference in weight is considerable, which lets us know that the model will be highly stable.<\/p>\n

Tuning and connectivity<\/h3>\n

We have a total tuning given by a\u00a0digital DVB-T\/T2, DVB-C, DVB-S2, HEVC, analog NTSC\/PAL\/SECAM, CI+ 1.4 ECP and HbbTV 2.0.3.<\/p>\n

In the image we see which connectors you can enjoy and how they are housed.\u00a0Just in case, we find a\u00a0CI slot, triple HDMI, two USB with recorder, two antenna plugs (RF and F), optical digital audio output and RJ 45 headphone jack\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Wireless is handled with both\u00a0Bluetooth<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0WiFI ac<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h3>\n

Panasonic TX-65MZ800 uses an\u00a0OLED panel from LG Display with 3840 x 2160 pixel\u00a0resolution.\u00a0This has a 30-bit matrix and a 10-bit color depth without distortion, something logical considering an OLED that works, in conjunction with the\u00a04K Color Engine Pro processor\u00a0, with color in an exceptional way.<\/p>\n

The excellent support for HDR, which includes\u00a0HLG, Dolby Vision and HDR 10+,\u00a0allows us to enjoy images of the best quality with sharp contrasts and purity in colors and brightness.\u00a0The\u00a0filmmaker mode\u00a0, also activated, is more of the same, the exact sample of the audiovisual as it comes out of post-production.<\/p>\n

With the native plus the Smooth Motion Drive PRO\u00a0technology\u00a0we get up to\u00a0120 Hz,\u00a0ideal for, together with ALLM and VRR, enjoying the best video games playing them on the television.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/h3>\n

Panasonic 65MZ800E comes with a\u00a02.1<\/strong>\u00a0like sound system.\u00a0This has two 12W speakers and one more 12W subwoofer.\u00a0The total is therefore\u00a036 W RMS<\/strong>\u00a0for power.<\/p>\n

The processing of the model reaches\u00a0Dolby Atmos<\/strong>\u00a0, so you will be able to enjoy content with surround sound that makes us feel immersed, very consistent with the filmmaker mode that we have already talked about.<\/p>\n

As extras, we have\u00a013 sound modes and track playback via Bluetooth<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software\/smartTV and general functions<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

This is what Panasonic 65MZ800E looks like on<\/p>\n

The TV has an Android TV 11<\/strong>\u00a0operating system in the background and a Google TV as the front\u00a0(the layer that users see).<\/p>\n

Google makes some of its services available to us in this model, such as:<\/p>\n
