Although Panasonic has not completely forgotten LCD TVs in recent years, there is no doubt that its main objective is OLED. This is not surprising, given the similarities between OLED technologies and plasma technology that was previously such a specialty of Panasonic. However, with the 58-inch TX-58GX800 in 2019, Panasonic seems to have delivered its most powerful LCD offering in years. For starters, the GX800 moves away from the low-contrast IPS displays used in many of Panasonic’s previous LCD screens. It also features a powerful and refined image processing engine, as well as built-in Dolby Atmos audio playback. Best of all, this is the first TV launched that supports hDR10 and Dolby Vision formats. Panasonic TX-58GX800B: Design 4x HDMI entries 3x USB multimedia ports LAN and Wi-Fi network options The body of the GX800 is quite heavy plastic. However, this is only really obvious when you handle the whole thing; There is nothing seemingly cheap, which looks like observation, no matter how far traveled. In fact, the ultra-thin black screen frame and the pleasantly metallic central lying desk holder create a rather elegant look. Much of the rear is also very thin by The Standards of LCD screens – barely a centimeter deep. The Connections of the GX800 are about equal for a high-end TV. Three HDMiIMs support 4K and HDR resolution, while there are LAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and two USB connections for streaming and multimedia streaming. In an ideal world, a fourth HDMI port and a third USB port might have been nice, but most households will probably find the right connectivity for their needs. As with most 4K TVs, the GX800’s HDMI is not built to specification 2.1. They probably won’t be able to handle the 4K/120Hz signals promised by the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles, limiting console usage to lower refresh rates. The current 60/50 Hz tv broadcast rate and the 24p shooting rate of Hollywood films do not require it, so it won’t matter to everyone. There is also no support for two HDMI 2.1-related features that are sometimes found on HDMI 2.0 ports: eARC and VRR. No eARC means that non-loss audio data based on objects (Dolby Atmos or DTS: X) is not transmitted via the GX800’s HDMI ports to compatible sound bars or receivers, while VRR does not mean support for refreshed frequency games variable chissement. However, opponents have allM (Automatic Low Latency Mode), which automatically switches to Game mode when it detects the appropriate signal, optimizes images for game sources and reduces the time it takes for the screen to render the images within 24 ms. Panasonic TX-58GX800B: Image features HDR support: HLG, HDR10, HDR10, Dolby Vision Processing engine: HCX The GX800’s 58-inch display has native 4K resolution and supports HDR. In fact, in addition to the HDR10, it can handle the new HLG Photo format as well as the dynamic HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR formats. There is also HLG support for broadcasting (although, at the time of writing, it doesn’t work with BBC iPlayer. We interviewed Panasonic, which confirmed the problem with this statement: “We have identified a limited problem with HLG video playback from the BBC iPlayer app on Panasonic 2019 TVs. We have developed a fix to fix this issue, which we will publish in a firmware update in the coming months. “) HDR10 and Dolby Vision carry additional scene-by-scene image data to help compatible TVs produce more powerful HDR images. The GX800 is the first TV of any brand capable of supporting these two high-end HDR formats, ensuring the best possible image quality, regardless of the source, regardless of the format in which it was handled.
