In today's TV market, the potential of OLED TVs has been increasingly unearthed. LG has invested heavily in new OLED production lines and has lowered the price of products by introducing a number of OLED TVs. Therefore, OLED TVs are now The price is no longer above it.
Now, Panasonic also decided to launch its own TX-65CZ952, the first new OLED TV in 2015. Not only is the price not so exaggerated, but the overall picture quality is also quite outstanding. We are also very surprised at the design of the TX-65CZ952. Under the oversized 65-inch screen, the thickness of the body is well controlled, making people look like 20 years later.
Nice design
The Panasonic's curved OLED TV design is as beautiful as ever. The back of the silver-gray backplane is wrapped in an unusual curve and cleverly hides the interface, lines, and tuner inside.
The aesthetic advantages of curved screens are more visually pleasing, and curved screens can also cause some distortions. Therefore, how to properly place TVs in a room layout is a matter of concern.
Image Quality
The early OLED screens were always lacking in detail when dealing with shadow effects, but the TX-65CZ950 did not have this problem. It has strong control over the dark places. This is the first place where people are impressed.
The overall tone of "House of Cards" is too dark to test the performance of television in the dark. Many LCD TVs are in complete details when dealing with such scenes, but even on night scenes in Panasonic TX-65CZ950 you can see the details of the trees, even the material of the clothes. This point has been highlighted by Panasonic as early as IFA 2015. Many people have noticed many details that they did not see after watching the “Dead Battle†episode.
The TX-65CZ950 has no problem with the details of shadows, and the next step is the high-light environment. This can still be tested with the House of Cards, such as Robin Wright's scene in her office, where there are white walls, white lights, and white shirts. At this point, the overall performance of the TX-65CZ950 is still good. The materials with similar colors are clearly visible. You can also see from the lights the effect of gradual change with distance.
Even so, the TX-65CZ950 is inferior to the "black" when it is "white", and when the lights are lighted to a certain degree, you can no longer distinguish the changes.
What about the color performance? The color of this TV is also very beautiful. For OLED TVs, it is a challenge to represent natural and true colors because it is easy to exaggerate. At this point, the TX-65CZ950 performed quite well. Like the human elbows and cheekbones, where the comparative complexions are difficult to deal with, there is no problem.
Since it is a 4K TV, it certainly can not be forgotten. Although the TX-65CZ950 is Panasonic's first 4K OLED TV, it is not exposed in this respect. 4K content is full of detailed and transparent images like other high-end products.
If you want to explain the shortcomings, the dynamic performance of the TX-65CZ950 should be better. It is recommended that you set the dynamic processing option to "Minimum" because the screen appears to be muddy when it is completely turned off, and the screen is smoothed when it is set to "Highest".
Sound effects
The performance of the TX-65CZ950 can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and its built-in speaker performance is better for a TV, but it is still far worse than the long Soundbar. Taking into account the high price of the TX-65CZ950, it should be able to perform even better.
Highlights
Panasonic's exploration of intelligent content is a bit cautious. You can find many streaming service providers' applications in the system, but they are not displayed at the front of the interface. Compared with LG or Samsung, Panasonic's menu interface is not fancy, and it is a very simple grid-like distribution, which makes some people care.
TX-65CZ950 is a curved screen TV. Subjectively, its curved curvature is just right. Most people who don't like Qu Ping should not be too concerned about watching it. The right amount of curvature will not prevent you from hanging it on the wall.
If you don't like wall-mounting, its bracket is also good. The TX-65CZ950 has a beautiful curve, but it is still very stable. The four fulcrums are evenly placed on the table. This is much better than the previous Panasonic design.
The highlight of the TX-65CZ950 is its rear panel, which is covered with a layer of high-grade Alcantara fabric. This material will generally only appear on sports cars. Yes, this design is not necessary, but for such a high-priced TV, it can bring a lot of satisfaction. In addition, this layer of fabric is not completely unpractical. It provides a certain degree of wire management. After removing this layer of Alcantara, the rear interface will be revealed.
to sum up
Panasonic TX-65CZ950 is undoubtedly an excellent TV. As its first 4K OLED product, the TX-65CZ950 performs very well. It overcomes many difficult problems on the OLED screen, has excellent details in the dark details, and other aspects exceed the average level, which is a satisfactory television.
