The most affordable flagship in Panasonic's 2018 OLED TV lineup is the 55-inch TX-55FZR800 with a narrow metal stand. The traditional set of interfaces of the device is complemented by the presence of two Cl-slots, which allows using a pair of subscription packages to coded channels simultaneously without constant rearrangement of CAM modules.
Reference picture
The TV is equipped with a 4K Master HDR OLED panel, the potential of which is revealed by the proprietary HCX image processor. This tandem, in addition to excellent contrast, perfect blacks and large viewing angles, provides a wide colour gamut and accurate colour reproduction. The picture is quite bright, as natural as possible and deep in terms of reproducing various shades and halftones. The advantages are noticeable both when viewing HDR content (HDR10 + standard) and lower quality content.
The Panasonic TX-55FZR800 processor handles well with the reproduction of dynamic scenes, including thanks to the screen refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Pure sound
The TV is equipped with four-channel 40 W acoustics without a subwoofer. Cinema Surround Pro technology creates clear, embossed and spacious sound. If the proposed sound level seems insufficient, then you can connect additional audio equipment wirelessly via Bluetooth Audio Link. Higher sound quality "out of the box" is able to provide the older model Panasonic TX-65FZR950, equipped with a subwoofer.
Smart TV
The "smart" functions of the TV are helped by the My Home Screen 3.0 platform. It is characterized by a simple and easily customizable menu, high performance and no errors in operation. But the choice of multimedia and other applications in the shell is much inferior to Smart TV's main competitors. Another disadvantage of the TV is the usual remote control, while most premium devices offer a multimedia version with voice control.
Otherwise, the Panasonic TX-55FZR800 deserves the attention of those who are looking for an OLED TV with impeccable picture quality and need additional advantages, such as two Cl-slots.
