Design and connectivity of the Panasonic TX-58DX900E
Here’s the tasteful design of the Panasonic TX-58DX900E. Although from the side or behind it loses a bit, on the front it offers a thin wall-frame-style frame that gives it a somewhat classic touch but with a glossy black panel (although careful with reflections) and silver and beveled edges smooth on its edges with a rough dotted surface. Its pedestal or table support has a circular brushing within its square front ends, which gives a sense of originality of circular reflection within square lines of silver again to stand out from the front made up of the black frames and panel.
In terms of connectivity, this Panasonic TX-58DX900E has plenty of: 3 USB with HID and recorder, 4 HDMI (one of them ARC), Bluetooth with HID to connect headphones, keyboard, mouse … And in addition to two CI + and tuners of all kinds has a rare connection: SD card. In short, this high-end smartTV does not lack almost anything, nor its famous In-House Streaming being both a server and a client when sending or receiving the signal that the television is broadcasting to / from another compatible television through streaming. So we can not depend on the connector or antenna socket or any additional decoder of our pay TV service anywhere in our house with this more than interesting function.

There is so much to talk about about the image quality of this Panasonic TX-58DX900E that you don’t know where to start … It has a 4K PRO panel with HDR Premium and THX certification, that is, if George Lucas developed the THX certification in sound, now this same certification in terms of image is offered after passing numerous and meticulous image requirements with the sole and important objective that the image in terms of brightness, color, contrast and sharpness that the filmmaker created for his film is reflected perfectly in your living room.
Its processor, the jewel in the crown for Panasonic, the 4K Studio Master HCX + offers the best for image processing aided by impressive 3000 Hz BMR to ensure fluidity, image refreshment and a natural movement like few screens on the market can be appreciated.

In addition, the system has been adjusted in Panasonic laboratories in Hollywood touching the colors, blacks or brightness all of this to be as faithful as possible to the creators of the images.
As for the sound, we have 4 10W speakers (40W in total) with VR-Audio Master Surround 2.1, squarter, woofer and passive quad radiator in all of them. Come on, we need only popcorn to enjoy the home theater.
Software analysis / SmartTV
my Home Screen 2.0 based on Firefox OS offers us interesting functions such as a Firefox browser, voice assistant to navigate I will interact with the TX-58DX900E although we miss some variety in terms of applications. Apparently the operating system itself and consequently smartTVs with this operating system do not go much down the road of creating and improving apps, so in this sense it does give fluidity when navigating menus and programs, that is not little.
Your operating system my Home Screen it is smart as it contains links to access your favorite applications and content chosen by you or by the television itself depending on your uses. In addition, personalize said content for each member of the family so you can have your own personalized screen.
Another interesting option is the Swipe & Share, or what is the same, as with the app Panasonic TV Remote We can launch our TX-58DX900E through our Wi-Fi and just by sliding our fingers up multimedia content or a replica of what is seen on our smartphone or tablet.
We also have the function TV Anywhere where after transmitting the image or broadcast from the television to our mobile or tablet we can continue to enjoy said content on a device device and even turn off the television to save energy by getting up from the sofa to wherever we want, that is, do not go outside your wifi coverage from home because otherwise the transmission would be lost.
