Review: Panasonic television 65 inch - The first thing I’ve never
ordered a Television online before so I was a little nervous
about it but after it was delivered with care I totally recommend
it for everyone who’s a little bit worried about it. After I got
it I opened it and put it together real quick and plugged it in
and the connections were easy to use and the remote was easy to
access all of the channels and internet access, I was able to
download all of my setting with ease, the weight of the TV was
easy enough for me to lift out of the box but I do recommend to
have two people to get it out and to put the stand on and place
it on your tv stand. All that said the TV is functioning properly
and a brilliant picture, I couldn’t be more pleased with its
performance and quality. I recommend this TV. Price wise is very
reasonable.
Review: A Quality Brand With a Solid Reputation - For starters,
I've always been a Panasonic fan. I did a lot of research before
settling on this TV. I bought it to replace a 48" LG-C3 OLED,
which I had for 18 months and realized I preferred a 55" screen.
Price wise, you can't do better for the same class of an OLED.
The build quality is excellent. I don't find the image too dark
as what some are saying. I never get direct sunlight, and I
prefer watching in a dim to dark room anyway. Even when I have on
my overhead halogens, the picture is fine. The settings are good
right out of the box, but I did have a friend come over who is a
tech wiz and he help me set up my Apple TV to it - and the
settings DO matter on that device if you want the brightest and
sharpest image. Remember, it all depends on what content you are
watching and how it was mastered. I do prefer my Apple TV over
the Fire TV OS, but it's just my preference. Fire TV works just
fine. I have a Sonos soundbar connected to it which works great,
however when switching inputs there tends to be a lag of up to 30
seconds before the sound and screen "coordinate" with each other,
resulting in a black screen and no sound. When not using the
soundbar, there is no lag when switching inputs. Could be
different with other soundbar brands. The TV speakers are pretty
decent for a TV, but not in the same league as a good soundbar.
Movies look superb on the screen, and I watch a lot of older
content and the upscaling is amazing. Sure, I could have spent 2K
+ for a brighter model, but I wasn't looking for that price range
so I'd say the Z85 is a pretty safe bet with a company that has a
good solid reputation.
