An example of excellence

published

The screen is big, the image is sharp, the engine is fast. No. not like in a motor vehicle, a television has an "engine" a computer which powers the system, and in this television it is very quick to react to commands. Go to a shop and try the programme guide for example. Some TVs race through and others take ages to scroll from one line to the next, that's the engine at work. Sadly it is the excellence of Panasonic which has led to them leaving Australia because people here are happy to accept cheap instead of quality. If you can still find a Panasonic TV in Australia.....GRAB IT.

Some still available.

Anybody still looking for the Panasonic Gz1000 65'' Oled and finding that most stores are now all sold out. I've just seen them still available in store at Costco in Perth for $2895 but if you check online, they don't appear to have them listed for some strange reason even though they are definitely still available in store. I would assume that other Costco stores also have them available but give them a call just to be sure.

So good... staggering picture quality

published

Having owned a faultless Panasonic VT20 for 10 years, i didn't need to upgrade but decided to after hearing Panasonic was leaving the Australian market.

If you appreciate calibrated vision, Panasonic has created another benchmark in picture standards. Mated with a 4k Apple TV supporting native Dolby Vision, little to no calibration is required.

For those in the market for a new panel and who appreciate/understand white balance and calibration, you have to look at this panel.

Hi Jules, thanks for taking the time to provide your 5 star review and sticking with the Panasonic TV. Happy viewing.

I did not expect a TV image could be so richly engaging. Astounding!

published

What an amazing TV. The depth of colour, and how natural the images look is so impressive. One example, I started watching Carnival Row on Prime. Lighting is used to such wonderful effect in this show. The GZ1000 allows you to, say, experience the intensity of a candle in a dark room and yet still see into the darkness in a very natural way. So beautiful. On a regular LED you simply would not achieve that sense of lighting depth. You would probably turn up the brightness to see into the dark. The image would be flat and the candle would of have no intensity or presence. It is simply top notch. Well done and thank you Panasonic.

Hi Ashely, thanks for taking the time to provide the 5 star review, we love hearing how happy our customers are with their products. The OLED picture quality is brilliant like you describe. Happy watching!!

i was nervous

published

I was dead set on getting a LG C9. after watching Utube reviews for months.
but as i was about to pull the trigger, I decided to check a local supplier that had Panasonic.
They sold me on the Panasonic and I have been very pleased with my decision. Beautiful picture. easy set up.
i use a Sonos system so don't really have an opinion on sound quality.
my only complaint would be the limited apps.
i hope there is an update coming for that.

This is how its Done !

published

I purchased a TH-65FZ950U in the 2022 Black Friday sales. For me, it was a big deal to splash out on such a luxurious item. But hey, you only live once right. For 13 months i enjoyed this luxury, The picture quality and features were incredible. Unfortunately the TV developed a Panel fault, 1 month out of warranty. I thought i was screwed. I called Panasonic. The customer service was incredible! They offered to replace the TV for me. I couldn't believe it. The process was very simple and i got an upgrade in the process. I am now enjoying the TH-GZ1000U. I have not stopped telling everyone about my experience. Well done Panasonic. I applaud you and I will continue to support you.

I am not using optical cable. I have a direct HDMI cable from the Apple TV, and another HDMI cable direct for the audio return channel to the receiver. Thanks for any suggestions you might offer.

Absolutely love it, with a caveat

published

I agonized with my decision over which OLED to buy. I have a pretty good sound system, so chose the Panasonic as I fell in love with the picture and wasn't worried about the TV sound, even though it is OK. I really believe the Panasonic is great value for money. The picture quality is fantastic. The viewing angles are great as well. There is one hiccup though. When switching from TV to Netflix, I don't get sound to my receiver. Apparently an ongoing issue on the TV. I have to manually switch my receiver on and off, then I get it. Bit annoying, but apparently Panasonic are onto it and hopefully we'll have an update to fix the problem.

Hands down the best TV I have owned!

published

I did a lot (likely too much) research before deciding to purchase this TV. My requirements were that it had to be a 4K OLED screen with HDR10+ (and) Dolby Vision support. I do not purchase new TV's often, so I wanted a unit that supported (both) of the 4K HDR formats. The design and functionality of the TV is awesome, the 4K HDR picture quality is just simply amazing (BUT) the biggest and best feature is truly the up scaling of HD content!! HD (Blu-ray and Netflix) look BEYOND amazing on this TV. Absolutely hands down the best TV I have owned to date!

GZ1000U Series

I can't get my new GZ1000u out of shop mode and I am unable to get TV channels- saying no signal (yes I have checked aerial).

We just returned our one month old GZ1000 for a refund because it cut out three times in three weeks showing the no signal/no service message. We were able to reset it each time using picture reset and turning off the power but it just kept going blank every now and then so we thought it was likely a faulty TV and didn't want to risk a replacement. Now have a Sony OLED, a bit more expensive but no prepared to give Panasonic another chance.

GZ1000U Series

Did anyone manage to use Google Home to control the power on and off as well as volume? I have followed the instructions from setting up the account to all the way entering the Panasonic code but still no luck. Appreciate if anyone who can assist me?

Hello...it was a bit of mucking around but when i first got my tv i went through the smart tv speaker settings and was able to turn the tv on and off with google assistant...it controlled volume as well. I noticed with the function enabled that the led standby light was always orange after i turned the tv off (put into standby) so i was concerned that panel maintenance was on all the time..i contacted panasonic who assured me that even though the orange light was on only normal panel maintence was completed and it wouldnt wear out the panel..once you have the tv smart speaker operating you still have to "find it" in google assist...its a bit messy but eventually it works. I left it turned off in the end.

Hello, not suggesting you didnt get it right but i think the steps are: turn on the smart speaker setting on the tv and get the id codes for the tv, then go to google home, select "settings" then select "more settings", then in the middle of the screen select "assistant", scroll down to the bottom and select "add device", you will get a long list of devices, scroll through to "panasonic tv" and add the device and input the tv id numbers and "connect" and it should be connected and functional....thats the best i can remember about how to get it to work....if you are trying to connect with an iphone or apple tablet i would have no clear idea but i presume google home works much the same on ios as it does on android? Have fun......

TH-55GZ1000U (55")

Hi, I have noticed in the last week or so that the colours on programmes I'm watching do not apprear clear or vivid. In particular blacks seem to be in shades of grey. I have noticed it a lot on in night scenes. I find frustrating to watch. Can you explain in simple terms why this happens in this type of tv and can it be rectified?

1 answer
Panasonic
Panasonic Australia C.Panasonic

Hi Isabella, sorry this isn't a simple answer, this could be due to the broadcast you are watching and many other factors. The best way to test this would be to play a BluRay disc. If it still persists on this, we would recommend a reset to factory settings. if that still persist, please contact our customer service team on 132600 for further assistance.
