It is necessary to clarify that at the time of writing the opportunity to test the image quality EZR1000 at CES does not provide. However, OLED matrix is almost always give odds LCD TVs. Visually Panasonic novelty meets the specs. It was possible to visually compare EZR1000 and last year's model LG OLED TV (or with professional Sony OLED displays) but the recorded content Panasonic test, of course, gave an excellent image.

Even blacks on screen look really EZ1000 except for minor flaws. According to Panasonic, the new model EZR1000 can play at the peak brightness of 800 nit at a sufficiently precise image, the coating color range close to the maximum for the DCI-P3 and Rec.2020. In fact, a review of the TV EZ1000 can not be called complete due to lack of data grayscale measurements, color accuracy and reproduction of content HDR in the laboratory.

At the conclusion of the review 65EZR1000 from Panasonic, we note that the manufacturer has made a step forward by releasing OLED television, surpassing the features Panasonic CZR950 predecessor. At the moment, we can not say whether the manufacturer uses its own OLED panel or a panel of third-party manufacturer. But some of the technical solutions Panasonic introduced into the design of their offspring.

Most importantly, according to the officials, EZR1000 model really provides professional image quality level simple consumer. But we can not confidently confirm or deny until the TV has received laboratory test trials. Highlights, which is to focus - the lack of 3D mode and support for Dolby Vision.

However, HDR stated EZR1000 10 and HLG. Panasonic announced a peak brightness of 800 nit in 65EZR1000 model, we recall that in EZR950 this option was at the level of 450 nits. New high-quality sound system Dynamic Blade Speaker affects the large number of speakers and the ability to use an optional external speaker instead of the original gives the user a wide choice.
