- We attended the Panasonic UK TV launch held in central London on the 12th of May 2022 and got hands-on with the LZ2000, LZ1500, LZ1000 and LZ980 OLED TVs. There are new features across the whole range line-up with a new 77-inch screen size for the range-topping LZ2000.

Most underrated OLED TVs, along with Philips.
I hate everything from phillips
I actually love the Panasonic LZ2000...best Oled picture i've ever seen through the years...I just hope Panasonic engineers can fix the newer model for 2023...the subwoofer speaker shakes the plastic on heavey bass causing me to lower the volume and raising my home intigrated amp higher...
Great review and info ty.
My favorite company .
I love Panasonic tv
Very mature and objective honest content.
Always!
I had a jz980E panasonic model the picture quality on that tv is very good
Can't wait. Also, low key, a feature that really excites me is the 60hz direct mode, since I play a lot of retro games and Switch, so this could be the fastest monitor on the marked if 1.5ms input lag is true combined with Oleds faster than LED response time.
1.5ms is not input lag imo. xd
lol
Any idea what's going on with the 42" versions? They're on the Panasonic website but only a few websites list them and none have stock. Are they out yet? Or already dropped?
Hope they fixed their nearblack pblms. If it is the case, lz1500 will be line waiting a pana with qdoled panel.
hello congratulations for the channel I just subscribed
I wanted to ask your expert advice which is brighter between the sony a80J and the panasonic LZ980? which of the two has a higher brightness with brighter colors? deep and sharp images? which idie tv has better upscaling? I'm torn between these two 65-inch models
thanks a greeting from Italy
Are their LED TVs any good?
Greetings from Serbia. I have been following you regularly for a long time. You have an excellent channel with a lot of content. Do you have any information about the Panasonic model LX 650E? I can't find much information about him other than official. If not, do you at least have an idea where I should look? Thank you and greetings from Novi Sad!
Good timing, Almost. Speaking to my main Panasonic retailer in Guernsey yesterday. Late July/ Early August is likely delivery to them. Panasonic always late compared to other offerings. As of this region I will be looking at how it it handles PAL, 50 Hrtz content, SKY box content from you and Vincent. Have to replace one of my Panasonic Plasmas this year. Can't wait for a proper review for this region centric info.
Did you find out anything? I'm trying to choose between the LZ1000 and the 1500 and we watch quite a lot of free to air broadcast TV in our house. Also, LZ1000 - 'Master OLED', LZ1500 'Master OLED Pro'. Supposedly the same new EX panel with heatsink but it seems impossible to find out what the difference is between the two (so making it impossible to know whether to pay the £600 extra at 65").
Who's the retailer in Guernsey, and do you think they'd ship to Jersey? I've been trying to get one of these in Jersey but no-one here deals in Panosonics. Amazon will deliver to Guernsey, but not Jersey (even though it would come on the same boat!)
How diferent is the LZ1500 48" and 55" panels? Is the "Master Oled Pro" panel from the 55" and above much better or not that much? Because for my living Room 48" is the maximum I can have
Hope they'll also make QD-OLED soon!
they will not...
Dat 77' oled!
Thanks for the TV Line-up updates - TV's seem quality - but why that circular base on the LZ2000 ? IMHO that cheapens the look of it. :-(
The white sub pixel will dilute colours.
Hello Phil is there in "My Home Screen 7.0" also HBO Max?? This is a big problem of Panasonic TV for me. Thank you very much for your answer.
Smart TV OS is why I am leaned toward Sony Google TV
No IMAX or DTS ???
Does anyone know why Panasonic OLEDs are not sold in the States
I would have thought that NOW TV would be classed as a major app? I have been a Panasonic fan for 30 years . I contacted Panasonic about the lack of the NOW app. And they told me they had no plans to make the app available on their TV’s .which was very disappointing. And now the 2022 model is out and still no NOW app , I think they are making a mistake. For that reason alone, I just bought a LG 55 A1 OLED tv with the App I need to reduce the number of cable and power sockets to get NOW TV .
Is the LZ2000 an improvement over the JZ2000? Seems like there hasn’t changed much except for speakers and game mode?
This looks incredible..this will be available in the USA in 2022?
Unfortunately no.
quand la lz2000 sort?
I wish you had mentioned that the LZ 2000 dose not have a free sat tuner it only has free view which is what you would get with cheaper TV
First. Hats off to Panasonic for not jumping on the QD-OLED hype train just yet. Panasonic makes some beautiful OLED tv's and they along with LG dont need it in my opinion. But I know they will get into it eventually because thats how the buisness works. But the new OLED's from Panasonic look beautiful. The only sad part is they dont sell them here in the US.
Yes Panasonic company won't selling any damages inside TV. There makes money from customers if have any damage company technician will do. Panasonic TV OLED flickering screen don't change panel change display cable left or right inside TV all model are same... don't buy Panasonic TV OLED or UHD better go for LG OLED any problems customer service will respond fast.
Yeah the panasonic oleds are good good picture quality but their customer service isnt good as azriazris says
When did they stop selling their tv’s in the U.S?
Tsese are the fist time models not manufactured in-house by Panasonic themselves since the clousere of the last remaining TV plant in Check Republic.
Do we know who this task was outsourced to?
Ok these have been out a while now I have a question. Uk resident with sky q and sky soundbox speaker. Should I get lz1500 and keep using sky soundbox OR get the lz2000. Basically is the built in speakers better than the sky q soundbox.

@@avforums thanks for the links. Being an avid reader I had read these already. But I was more looking for your opinion on the specific question on whether the lz2000 sound system is £500 better than the sky q soundbox ? Thanks again
Any idea how I can get one in the States?
Ge the Sony A95K much better TV
Why no freesat on the LZ 2000 77inch tv after paying 4300 pounds you would think they could afford a freesat tuner ?
Disappointing the LZ1500 is not 77". Don't really want the speaker on the LZ2000.
Are they 120Hz screen?
Yes.
Every single OLED panel coming from LG Display is a 120Hz panel !
The only (on purpose) exception is the LG A series ... here LGE uses the regular 120Hz panel but artificially limits it to 60Hz for cost saving reasons (but it's still a 120Hz panel tho).
What's the point of getting the lz2000 when you can get the A95k with a free ps5
Prices?
Not yet
Thanks for your review but...NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE...LZ2000 has luminance brightness technology...after seeing them demo the same, side by side,the LZ2000 is brighter...why is this been hidden from the public?...also I've heard people complaint of the rattling of the plastic from the subwoofer speaker on LZ2000...
Agreed. It makes a difference side by side. But I doubt I would've noticed on the 1500 on its own
wow a lot of glare, can see your windows as bright as the picture
LZ1000 - 'Master OLED', LZ1500 'Master OLED Pro'. Supposedly the same new EX panel with heatsink but it seems impossible to find out what the difference is between the two. What does the latter do over the former? It's really important to me because the difference in price is £600 at 65".
There is no heat sink in the LZ1000, only the LZ1500 and LZ2000.
@@avforums Hi. I've seen multiple sources that report the 1000 does come with a heatsink (HDTV test, flatpanelshd, spark chronicles etc). Having looked again at the latter just now, they are the only ones who seem to know that there is a difference in the heatsink design between the 1000 and the other two models (which leads to a difference in peak brightness, 900 vs 1000 nits). This is the information I'd been looking for for the last few weeks actually. It makes sense, there is no way when the C2 produces 730 nits peak without a dissipation layer, that the LZ1000 would capable of 900 unless it had a heatsink.
sparkschronicles: /panasonic-tv-2022-heatsink-for-the-entire-oled-range-in-italian-stores-from-september/
Can we get some clarification on this? Like the commenter above I’ve also read that LZ1000 features heatsink but it’s impossible to find any spec sheet from Panasonic that would explictly say which models have heatsink
Did anyone find out what exactly are the differences between these 2? LZ1000 currently on sale and debating whether to get it over C2 or Sony A80k as they're pretty much the same price
@@EsoTarek Peak brightness is one difference. If the continental reviews are accurate: LZ2000/1500 = 1000nits, LZ1000 = 900nits, LZ980 = 800nits. One of the other differences is in sound, the spec jumps each time. Lastly, the 2000/1500 have a heatsink, the 980 doesn't and the jury is out on the 1000 as to whether it does or doesn't. Most think it does, including Vincent, we know for certain that the C2 doesn't.
I'd say the LZ1000 is a better unit than the C2, as the LZ1500 is better than the G2, plus it covers every HDR format, the LG's are missing HDR10+. This shows in the respective prices.
If you're in the UK and watch a reasonable amount of terrestrial TV, then definitely, definitely get the Panasonic. If you're a big gamer maybe still consider the C2.
disappointed the LZ2000 is 77inch only not the LZ1500 for people who don't want the soundbar. looks like its LG G2 for me
Yup, G2 is definitely the 77“ to get this year. I‘m not gonna move my center speaker lower and further away from the screen just because Panasonic still hasn‘t understood how useless an integrated soundbar is in a home theater enthusiast product. I‘m gonna stick with my G1 for now but I‘m worried about next year because Sony still hasn‘t figured out the gaming stuff, LG won‘t use QD-OLED panels and Samsung overbrightens everything and can‘t even be calibrated in game mode. So Panasonic might be the only real option but I don‘t want that stupid soundbar… also not in 2023 🤦🏻♂️
Yep man , i was gonna finally buy Sony 83 A90J but hopeless near black gamma issues and no automatic switch of video mode from SDR and HDR and vice cersa , convinced me to wait and buy LG 83 G2 !!!!
@@ledooni the top of the line sony tvs in 2022 now finally come with built in VRR and ALLM.
@@ledooni Sony A80K 77 over G2 for cinema
C'est quand ils veulent pour ça sortir.....??? ..
I am between Sony A95K or Panasonic LZ2000. I prefer Sony in OS but first year technology Qd oled is a doubt although Sony Master series is higuest quality
Me too same predicament the problem I’m having is I really want a 75 or 77 inch screen and that’s the LZ2000 at 77”
But currently the Sony A95K only has 65” as the max size and not sure when the larger versions of QD win be available
@@danbryan5442 I precisely has an A90J 83 in large living room. Super happy. But want to change this year a LG B6 55 for small living room. Consider A80K 77 X95K 75 or even Z9K 75 if you have good budget for new tv
Seems to be a good advice to first get all information about QD-OLED ... and I mean ALL pros and cons. I am pretty sure there will be some major issues due to the very first year of panel production and implementation into tvs.
At least it is pretty exciting atm to see what this new technology is all about, it's actual advantages and what it will/can finally add to our tv experience (in 2023).
@@marcuscole8796 A95K has big delay due to world situation and people is getting as crazy reservations or buying first units. I am never buying a TV no watching this or at least with deep expert reviews. Nothing of this now is possible today with A95K
@@lifeextensionespana580 I’ve decided to get a 77 inch Panasonic TX-LZ2000B I just need to know when it’s available.
Im not overly keen on the sound bar so the LG G2 is tempting but the pana pic processing is probably slightly better and more accurate out the bad than a G2 and the thing is if you’re going to get a G2 might as-well save the money and get a G1🤷🏻♂️. Decision, decisions.
What is the difference between LZ421500 and LZ980?
I called Panasonic and the guy said the 1500 had better sound but I don’t think he knew what he was talking about? Lol
The 1500 has better sound and a OLED Master Pro display. A step down is the 1000 which has the same sound as the 980 but a OLED Master display(without the ‘pro’). And a step underneath the 1000 is the 980 you are referring to that has the basic OLED display( without ‘master’ and ‘pro’)
It's a real shame Panasonic have still not fixed the buggy firmware on the Panasonic JZ OLED series which prevents them from working properly at 120Hz in VRR on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. Gamers beware!
Let's hope it will be fixed in this new LZ model
What is not working? I have no problems with PS5 and Xbox series x!
I have no Problems with my JZW 2004
Wasn't that fixed back in october?
@@SturmAH it was!
And 77 " will cost same as LG 83 C2 🤣
I was rather disappointed when I was told by someone, that I have a "dodgy and cheap" Panasonic television and that it isn't the real deal... 😥How come ?
Depends, mate. The mid and high-end Panasonics are pretty damn good. There are lesser, cheaper Panasonic TVs that have cheaper internals and don’t do many of the cool things one might expect of Panasonic. If your TV looks good to you, that’s what’s most important. Whoever told you that is a purist or an enthusiast, but definitely an arse. Hope that helps!
@@mother3crazy Thanks alot for the vote of confidence, Sir ! 👍 I was not impressed with what that old codger said though. I have had my TV just over two years now and has minimal hours of playtime, due to regular Load Shedding here in South Africa. I am sure you have heard of it. I switch the TV off completely during these periods.
No QD. Welp there goes the envy of pannies not being available in the states
Panasonic OLEDs have had the overall best picture quality for movie watching for the last 2 or 3 years. Yes it would of been great if this year's Panasonic OLED had quantum dots. But it will still be one of the best OLEDs in 2022 for movie watching.
@@C--A QD oled still on samsung and sony caused of production method issue. so they limit the OEM. agreed, hexachroma drives for me quite sold. the problem i think the design quite bit 2020esque.
You're getting a little too sucked into the hype there - we shall see but I genuinely believe the LZ2000 and 1500 will be far better reviewed than the new Samsung QD OLED. Not sure about the Sony - I think it will do well.
@@StevieV It's an objectively better technology. Samsung did what it did because it's Samsung's style. Panasonic would have made QD OLED it's own. The gap is only going to widen as time goes on. I think somy is really going to make the new tech strut for the purist.
@@gaurd3 well I really hope Panasonic have a QD next year, they are still my fave tv manufacturer. I fully agree the Sony is going to wipe the floor with the Samsung
Why are Panasonic so far behind other tv manufacturers sailing there TVs
How are they?
@@StevieV every manger tv manufactures already have there new tvs out already Panasonic are weeks behind them
LG sell below cost price to maintain market dominance
Nooo.. The LZ980 got an ugly semi matte coating.. It looks like a cheap LCD..
Is this something you spotted in the video? I'm thinking of getting the LZ1000 but can't find out if it has the same coating as the 980 or the 1500.
@@trevhib And you will have a hard time finding out because in retail they sell 2021 Panasonics.. This all is a paper launch..
@@TheRealJohnHooper Which region are you in? John Lewis has all the 2022 models for sale in the UK currently (incl the LZ1000, which is exclusive to them).
@@trevhib One retailer?
@@TheRealJohnHooper Marks Electrical, AO, Crampton and Moore, Richer Sounds are all selling them in addition to JL. What's your beef here.
No QD o dear
Once again, Panasonic‘s design with the integrated soundbar makes absolutely no sense in that price range since every enthusiast is going to have a dedicated home theater system anyways. It just takes up space which would ideally be used to move the center speaker closer to the screen. I don‘t get how they still haven‘t understood that in 2022…
And I just bought one of these exactly because of the nice integrated Soundsystem 😄
The LZ1500 is the one without the soundbar and up-firing speakers, but the same panel and picture quality as the 2000. It was designed just for the use case you suggest, just no 77-inch this year.
There are many people who would like a tv with good integrated speakers. Not everyone wants their home to sound like a cinema everyday.
TVs with included Soundbars are extremely rare and you are mistaken if you think that all Premium buyers are "enthusiasts".. There are many normal people out there with lots of cash that want a premium design..
@@mrtickleuk that is a very niche market and most likely unprofitable.
looks like Panasonic fell asleep like LG
There's no pleasing You whingers.
Still don't understand why Panny don't go with Google TV, their smart platform is getting better, but still pretty poor.
Because the Panasonic Fans really like the Panasonic software..
They will switch to Google tv the mid Range and lower models this year will allready come with Google tv. I think they will in long term completley switch to Google.
Tv stands are horrible
Don't buy Panasonic TV OLED or UHD TV 4k.... Cannot trusted company respond when damage on tv or flickering..go for LG OLED or Samsung most butter than... please 🙏 our friend don't buy Panasonic TV any more.. this my experience and request 😭
