Manufacturer: Panasonic

The Panasonic TB-65W60AEY is a 65-inch LED-backlit LCD television offering a 4K UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels at 68 ppi, with a 10-bit panel capable of reproducing 1.07 billion colors. It supports HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG for broad HDR format compatibility, and features an anti-reflection coating along with wide 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The set runs a built-in smart TV platform with Chromecast built-in, Google Assistant, Alexa compatibility, voice commands, a web browser, and smartphone remote support, making it a fairly connected living room device.

On the connectivity side, the Panasonic TB-65W60AEY includes three HDMI 2.1 ports, two USB ports, one RJ45 port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and Miracast support, alongside Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. Tuner support covers DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-S, and DVB-S2. Audio is handled by a stereo speaker system with a combined output of 20W, with support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus, plus both HDMI ARC and eARC. The TV also supports USB recording, has a sleep timer and child lock, and operates at a refresh rate of 60Hz with a standby power consumption of just 0.5W.

Pros
  • Supports HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG across a 10-bit panel capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors, covering a broad range of HDR content formats
  • Both HDMI ARC and eARC are available, simplifying connection to soundbars and external audio systems
  • Three HDMI 2.1 ports provide ample input options for modern source devices
  • Chromecast is built in and the TV is compatible with both Google Assistant and Alexa, offering flexible smart home and voice control integration
  • USB recording is supported, allowing content to be recorded directly to an external drive
  • Standby power consumption of just 0.5W keeps idle energy use minimal
Cons
  • The 60Hz refresh rate limits motion handling for fast-moving content and is not suited to high frame rate sources
  • No adaptive synchronization technology is available, which affects smoothness when frame rates fluctuate
  • AirPlay and Siri/Apple HomeKit are not supported, limiting integration for users in the Apple ecosystem
  • The built-in stereo speakers output only 2 x 10W with no subwoofer, which may be insufficient for larger rooms
  • There is no ambient light sensor, so the display cannot automatically adjust brightness based on room lighting conditions
  • The EU energy label rating of E indicates relatively higher energy consumption during operation
Who is this for?

The Panasonic TB-65W60AEY is a good fit for living room setups where broad HDR format compatibility is a priority, as it covers HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG across a 10-bit panel with wide 178° viewing angles — making it well suited to rooms where viewers are seated at varying positions. Users who are invested in a mixed smart home environment will benefit from the simultaneous compatibility with Google Assistant and Alexa, as well as Chromecast built-in for straightforward content casting. The three HDMI 2.1 ports and USB recording support also make it a practical choice for users with multiple source devices or those who want to record broadcast content directly.

Who is this NOT for?

The 60Hz refresh rate with no adaptive synchronization makes this TV a poor match for users who prioritize smooth motion in fast-paced content or who want to connect a gaming device that benefits from variable refresh rate support. Those who rely heavily on the Apple ecosystem will find the absence of AirPlay and Siri/Apple HomeKit a meaningful gap. Additionally, users who expect room-filling sound without a separate audio system may find the built-in 2 x 10W stereo speakers — with no subwoofer — insufficient for a 65-inch screen in a larger viewing space.

Final Verdict

Its broad HDR format support across a 10-bit Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG-capable panel, combined with wide viewing angles, three HDMI 2.1 ports, and dual voice assistant compatibility, gives it a well-rounded profile for everyday viewing and multi-device households. Where it falls short — notably the 60Hz refresh rate, absent adaptive sync, and modest built-in audio — those trade-offs will matter more to some users than others. For households that prioritize HDR versatility, smart platform flexibility, and a solid connectivity layout over gaming or high-motion performance, the TB-65W60AEY is a straightforward and functional choice.
