Panasonic\u00a0is one of the firms that we usually recommend when purchasing a television despite the fact that they do not usually release so many models during the year. The advantage is that the alternatives they have compete well with other televisions, and sometimes offer better performance.\u00a0Today we will talk about the mid-range that the\u00a0Panasonic TX-55LX800E presents\u00a0, an option that offers good characteristics in the main sections that seem correct to us considering the price it offers.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the Panasonic LX800<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It has an interesting combination that provides us with a pleasant aesthetic, although it presents certain details that bother the design a bit in general.<\/p>\n

Aesthetically, the\u00a0Panasonic 55LX800E\u00a0is a regular television that has attractive details, however, it also has some negative points.\u00a0Therefore, it is not an advantage, although you can take advantage of its design.<\/p>\n

You only need a good placement so that the positive looks more.\u00a0We are facing the\u00a055-inch\u00a0version that offers dimensions of\u00a0787 x 1234 x 269 mm\u00a0, ideal for having in medium-sized rooms or rooms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can improve the placement using the VESA support that allows you to integrate the television directly on the wall in order to show off the front part, which from our perspective is the space with the best construction.<\/p>\n

Due to the thin bezels they implement,\u00a0which generate a striking appearance that comes to be considered elegant\u00a0.\u00a0The television at the back has a somewhat bulky thickness that takes away its presence.<\/p>\n

Likewise, we note that the materials are of regular quality, therefore, you must be careful when installing it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

We like that the\u00a0Panasonic TX-55LX800\u00a0includes only the essential connectors, so you have more space and there won’t be excessive use of cables.\u00a0Here we highlight the three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs that allow devices to be connected and send their signal directly to the television.<\/p>\n

It works with two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports that offer two important benefits, for starters, you can play content from compatible drives.\u00a0However, the most valuable thing ends up being the possibility of recording content to view it later.<\/p>\n

The rest of the physical connections are very useful, but they end up being the same that you will see in other models, so we will not talk specifically about them.\u00a0Although you can see the available options in the table above.<\/p>\n

What we do have to highlight is the wireless section that dual-band\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0offers us to take advantage of our internet, likewise, you have\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0that facilitates connectivity with certain sections.\u00a0And to transmit you have\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the Panasonic 55LX800E<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Panasonic TX-55LX800E\u00a0doesn’t have the best image on the market today, however it holds up well and for specific content it may be sufficient.\u00a0First of all, it integrates a\u00a04K\u00a0resolution that seeks to show better details.<\/p>\n

However, one of its main problems is the inclusion of an\u00a0Edge LED\u00a0backlight that improves a bit compared to Direct LED, but it is not something incredible either, and specific problems continue to be seen.<\/p>\n

For example, the brightness and contrast levels are still low despite the fact that it already includes local dimming.\u00a0For this reason,\u00a0we recommend placing the television in a space where the lighting has a better balance\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In order that there are no noticeable quality losses in dark or bright environments.\u00a0The good thing is that it integrates a VA\u00a0panel\u00a0that slightly improves these parameters and the final result ends up being better.<\/p>\n

The bad thing is that now the colors will have less fidelity and precision, however, it includes some improvement technologies that work on those aspects.\u00a0Added to the compatibility with\u00a0HDR10 + Adaptive\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The fluidity in the images will be acceptable for a frequency of\u00a060 Hz\u00a0, however, in more demanding content if we notice a shorter response time.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Similar to many other mid-range models, you have a power of\u00a020W\u00a0which is fine within the category, however, each time the content requires a little more, so at certain times you will notice the difference.<\/p>\n

At least it adds two very nice technologies to make the experience slightly better.\u00a0We are talking about\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0and\u00a0Cinema Surround\u00a0that provide an immersive environment.\u00a0To connect external systems you can use Bluetooth Audio Link.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more features of the Panasonic TX-55LX800<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It works with Android TV, a system that improves the experience in terms of entertainment and other functions that will be available<\/p>\n

Something that makes the\u00a0Panasonic 55LX800E worthwhile\u00a0is its system that delivers various features for a better entertainment experience.\u00a0We are talking about\u00a0Android TV\u00a0that presents an intuitive platform for users.<\/p>\n

Among the most interesting we find an extensive application store with more than 7,000 options, obviously not all of them will be functional.\u00a0But it has the most extensive store among all systems to date\u00a0.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It allows voice control thanks to\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0that facilitates the use of the television due to the functions that you can control.\u00a0To facilitate the transmission of content, it works with\u00a0Chromecast\u00a0that provides greater compatibility.<\/p>\n

Another interesting aspect of the\u00a0Panasonic TX-55LX800\u00a0is that it works with\u00a0AMD FreeSync Premium\u00a0that will greatly improve the gaming experience, especially with new generation consoles.<\/p>\n
