Metz FA64 55"

Manufacturer: Metz

The Metz FA64 is a 55″ OLED television offering 4K UHD resolution at 3840 x 2160 pixels, delivering a pixel density of 80 ppi across its large screen. Built with a 10-bit panel capable of displaying over 1 billion colors, it also features an ambient light sensor and anti-reflection coating, making it well-suited for varied lighting conditions. The set runs a built-in smart TV platform with browser support, smartphone remote functionality, and USB recording capability.

On the display side, the FA64 reaches a typical brightness of 1000 nits and a 100Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time, complemented by full HDR support across HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG formats. Connectivity includes four HDMI 2.1 ports with ARC and eARC support, three USB ports, one RJ45 port, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Audio output is handled by stereo speakers rated at 2 x 30W, with support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Audio, alongside a digital audio output. The television supports DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-S, and DVB-S2 tuner standards and carries an EU energy label of E, with an operating power consumption of 71W.

Pros
  • Supports all four major HDR formats — HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG — covering a wide range of content sources
  • Four HDMI 2.1 ports provide ample high-bandwidth connections for multiple devices simultaneously
  • The 1ms response time and 100Hz refresh rate make the display well-suited for fast-moving content
  • Both HDMI ARC and eARC are supported, simplifying connection to external audio equipment
  • Stereo speakers deliver 2 x 30W of audio output, offering substantial built-in sound without requiring an external system
  • Standby power consumption of just 0.35W keeps idle energy draw very low
Cons
  • Pixel density of 80 ppi is relatively low for a 55-inch 4K panel, which may affect perceived sharpness at closer viewing distances
  • Adaptive synchronization is not supported, limiting smoothness for variable frame rate content
  • Dolby Atmos is not available, restricting the audio experience for content that relies on object-based surround sound
  • The remote control is not rechargeable, requiring regular battery replacement
  • There is no external memory slot, limiting local storage expansion options
  • The EU energy label of E indicates relatively lower energy efficiency compared to higher-rated alternatives in the same category
Who is this for?

This television is a solid fit for living room setups where a large 55″ OLED screen will be viewed from a comfortable distance, as the wide 180-degree viewing angles ensure consistent picture quality across seating positions. Users who consume a broad mix of streaming and broadcast content will benefit from full HDR format coverage — including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG — alongside DVB-T2, DVB-C, and DVB-S2 tuner support. The four HDMI 2.1 ports also make it a practical choice for households running multiple source devices, while the built-in smart TV platform, browser, and smartphone remote support suit users who prefer a self-contained entertainment hub without relying on external streaming boxes.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who sit close to the screen may find the 80 ppi pixel density underwhelming for a 4K OLED panel, as fine detail can appear less crisp at shorter viewing distances. Those who rely on variable frame rate content or use devices that benefit from adaptive sync will find the lack of adaptive synchronization support a notable limitation. Additionally, anyone looking to build an immersive audio setup around the television itself will be constrained by the absence of Dolby Atmos, making this a less suitable choice for users who prioritize object-based surround sound without an external audio system.

Final Verdict

The Metz FA64 55″ presents a well-specified OLED television that covers the essentials for a modern living room setup, with its comprehensive HDR format support across HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG standing out as a genuine strength alongside the generous four HDMI 2.1 ports and a 100Hz panel with 1ms response time. The built-in smart TV platform, broad tuner compatibility, and ARC/eARC support round out a feature set that suits most everyday viewing and multi-device scenarios. That said, the absence of adaptive synchronization, Dolby Atmos, and a relatively modest pixel density for its panel size mean it falls short for users with more demanding or specialized requirements. For households seeking a capable, well-connected OLED screen for mixed content consumption without niche technical demands, the Metz FA64 is a coherent and functional choice.
