If you want a TV that focuses more on image quality, Panasonic has an interesting model within the mid-range. To begin, we are talking about a device that will not be so expensive and that any user can have the possibility of obtaining it. That is precisely one of the details that makes the Panasonic TX-50GX830E interesting to analyze .

Obviously we are not saying that it is the perfect TV, since that would not be true and we seek to be honest with our analysis, therefore, we are also going to mention the negative points of the Panasonic 50GX830E . With the idea that you can know if it really is a model that is worth acquiring or you should keep looking in the market.

Exterior design of the Panasonic TX-50GX830E

P2 1

A nice design because of how thin it turns out to be on the front

Despite the fact that the Panasonic TX50GX830 came out in 2019 we must say that its design is still quite interesting, in fact, at that time it was considered one of the most complete. In this case, the first thing we must highlight is that its size fits perfectly in any position, in addition, it integrates well into any environment .

Among the most remarkable we have that its front provides us with thin bezels that will give the TV more elegance, therefore, it will look good from any angle. This is also great when watching content , since the useful space of the screen will be much greater and that prevents the image from having cuts.

The view from the sides is interesting because we can see that its appearance is thin, although the back has a slightly wider thickness, however, it is not something that is going to bother too much , on the contrary, the good design is maintained at all times . Its construction is not bad at all and it has quite resistant materials.

Connectivity

We have been pleasantly surprised by the good connectors that are received in this model. First, we find three HDMI 2.1 inputs (ARC; CEC) that are great for connecting different external devices and sending their signal to the TV. The good thing is that for its version we will have a better data transmission. Likewise, we have two USB that we can use to play or record content. One comes in version 3.0.

As you can see it contains the most usable options, however, it has some extra connections that can also be quite valuable. Here we highlight that it has a satellite input, an Ethernet port, a component video, an optical audio output and an antenna. At the wireless level we do not find any problem, since we are going to enjoy the best options of today such as Wi-Fi , Bluetooth and DLNA .

Image quality and general functions of the Panasonic 50GX830E

If something stands out in the Panasonic TX-50GX830E it is that it offers a powerful image quality that will be perfect for enjoying any content. To begin with, we find a 4K resolution that due to its power should give us better details , which in theory are considered more realistic no matter what we are seeing.

Its panel could be considered the least attractive in this regard, since it does not have the necessary power, and that is mainly noticeable in very dark or bright environments, therefore, we must take care of the location as much as possible . This detail does not affect as much as in other televisions due to the improvement technologies that we find.

One of the most interesting is Wide Color Spectrum which, as its name suggests, will give us a wider spectrum of colors, which in principle are more vivid and intense to give more naturalness and realism to the scenes. Thanks to the Brilliant Contrast and Local Dimming functions we will enjoy a sharper and more precise contrast.

Sound

In our opinion, we can consider that its audio is one of its weakest points, and not because it is a completely bad quality, but because it may not be enough for certain content . The main problem lies in the power of its two speakers, which barely have 20W, although this is usually normal in the mid-range.

Fortunately, two of the best technologies of today are added, such as Cinema Surround Pro and Dolby Atmos, in this case they both seek to give us a much more immersive and clean experience, especially if we are watching movies. The improvement feels quite a lot, however, the power of its speakers is still a problem .

Panasonic TX50GX830 Software / Smart TV Review and More

This television has its own system that seeks to make itself known and be considered among the best

The Panasonic 50GX830E includes my Home Screen 4.0 which is a proprietary system of this brand, obviously it will not have the quality of more advanced systems, however, the work they have done is noticeable and they want it to be able to compete directly with the best. What we can mention is that it has good optimization and security .

Likewise, it has a catalog of applications that in principle seems acceptable to us because it seeks to add popular options, however, we also believe that it could be even better . An interesting detail is that we have a voice command to control certain functions of the television and thereby achieve what would be a better order.

The truth is that they still have a lot to improve their system, however, we think they have been doing a good job. We hope that for the next updates they have already improved certain aspects. The interesting thing is that the Panasonic TX50GX830 is perfect for movies or series thanks to the fact that it includes HDR10 , HDR10 + , HLG and Dolby Vision .
