The HZ2000 won our best TV award for 2020 and deservedly so – its picture and sound quality excel.
Much of its excellence is down to the Professional Edition Master OLED panel, which allows the HZ2000 to reach higher brightness for a punchier HDR image. And those images are artfully painted by the TV’s HCX Pro Intelligent processor, which produces a superb HDR performance, terrific black levels, stunning near dark detail and impressively balanced colours. Upscaling is impressive too, and the set’s motion skills make it adept with handling fast-moving sports. It is a cracking all-round TV.
We found the audio system expansive for a TV, creating a sense of width and height that’s convincingly immersive. Gaming is fine, but without the various HDMI 2.1 features, the HZ2000 is not primed to take advantage of the latest gaming consoles.
