I had the chance to check out Panasonic's range of 2023 OLED TVs in action recently, and there was one model that I initially passed over – but the more I learned about, the more I realised that the brand's got something interesting on its hands. For those who want a premium home cinema experience but at a price that's not as premium as a lot of the best OLED TVs – and provided you don't really care about gaming features – this set might just be the perfect option.
The TV is the Panasonic MZ800, and it's the second-cheapest model in the company's 2023 lineup. As with all Panasonic OLED TVs, it won't be sold in the US, but is coming to the UK, Europe and other parts of the world. It'll cost around £1,599 (approx. $2,045 / AU$2,970) for the 55-inch model, which is pretty cheap for an OLED TV in 2023. But the 65-inch model is where it gets interesting, because that will cost around £2,099 (approx. $2,685 / AU$3,900), which is a lot less than the £2,499 that a 65-inch LG B3 will cost you. The B3 is LG's cheapest OLED TV of 2023 in the UK and US, so for Panasonic to undercut it so drastically makes the MZ800 very interesting, especially because of its movie-friendly features.
