<\/p>\nIn early summer 2023, Panasonic unveiled its 2023 TV lineup.\u00a0Not only top models have become known, but also the names of TVs in the initial and middle price segments.\u00a0What’s new and should we expect improvements in 2023 Panasonic TVs?\u00a0We will try to answer these questions in this article.<\/p>\n
Panasonic\u00a0‘s flagship OLED TV, the MZ2000\u00a0, which is the predecessor to\u00a0the LZ2000\u00a0, promises “the best and brightest picture” thanks to its new custom OLED panel, which the brand has dubbed the Master OLED Ultimate.\u00a0The TV is equipped with a Panasonic HCX Pro AI processor.<\/p>\n
It also features a new layered thermal management system and uses Micro Lens Array\u00a0(MLA) technology\u00a0to better focus light from the panel’s OLED displays and increase brightness.\u00a0The company claims peak brightness will be 150% higher than Panasonic\u00a0‘s 2022 OLED TVs\u00a0.\u00a0This should make it perfect for watching HDR content.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like previous Panasonic OLED TVs, the MZ2000 supports\u00a0Filmmaker mode\u00a0, which aims to present the image exactly as the director intended.\u00a0But the new model goes even further.\u00a0It is equipped with an upgraded ambient color temperature sensor that better detects the lighting conditions in the room.<\/p>\n
According to Panasonic, this allows the TV to more precisely adjust color and contrast to provide an optimal viewing experience.\u00a0As with previous OLED displays, Panasonic once again enlisted the help of longtime collaborator and noted Hollywood colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld to ensure the highest possible color fidelity.<\/p>\n
The new TV features a\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0sound system , tuned by Hi-Fi brand Technics.\u00a0It features multiple built-in speakers that are directed upwards, sideways, and frontally.\u00a0The front speaker system, hidden under the grille, runs the full width of the TV and now has a wider soundstage.<\/p>\n
The sound system has three modes that allow you to control the placement of the sound: at one point (fine position mode), at a specific location or group (area mode), or at one specific location (spot mode).\u00a0The bass boost algorithm has also been upgraded.\u00a0It should have more of an impact on low frequencies when the soundtrack calls for it.<\/p>\n
The increased brightness of the MZ2000 will certainly benefit everyone, whether they’re watching movies or playing video games on their TV.\u00a0Gamers will get a new True Game Mode.\u00a0This mode promises to be as carefully calibrated as the movie presets on your TV.<\/p>\n
Panasonic says the MZ2000 will feature improved tone mapping for more accurate HDR, as well as dedicated sound modes for gaming.\u00a0ALLM and VRR (including G-Sync and\u00a0FreeSync\u00a0) will also be supported.\u00a0ALLM and VRR are key features expected from any modern gaming TV.<\/p>\n
After all, they allow the TV to adjust the frame rate.\u00a0This means these features can push the frame rate beyond the traditional 120fps, offering a more responsive gaming experience when a compatible console like the PS5 is connected to an HDMI 2.1 port.<\/p>\n
However, like its predecessor, the MZ2000 still only has two HDMI 2.1 connectors with 4K\/120Hz support.\u00a0This is a little disappointing considering its high-end rivals boast four such ports.\u00a0Its Dolby Vision\u00a0game mode\u00a0also has a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz rather than 120Hz, which may disappoint some Xbox Series X gamers.<\/p>\n
Now it’s time to figure out exactly which Panasonic TV models to expect in 2023.\u00a0The MZ2000 is Panasonic’s line-up leader for 2023.\u00a0The 77-inch model has a slightly better screen than the smaller models.\u00a0Panasonic calls it Master OLED Pro Cinema Size.<\/p>\n
Sizes: 55 inches, 65 inches, 77 inches.
\nDisplay type: Master OLED Pro Cinema Size (TX-77MZ2000B), Master OLED Ultimate (TX-65MZ2000B and TX-55MZ2000B).
\nResolution: 4K.
\nProcessor: HCX Pro processor with artificial intelligence.
\nHDMI 2.1 – 2 pcs.\u00a0+ HDMI 2.0 – 2 pcs.
\nGame Features: Game Mode, VRR, ALLM, AMD Freesync Premium, G-Sync compatible
\nSound: 360\u00b0 Soundscape Pro.<\/p>\n
Panasonic will be similar to last year’s LZ1500 in that it will be similar to the MZ2000 but with a simplified sound system.\u00a0It will also come in a larger range of sizes from 42 to 65 inches than its more expensive sibling.<\/p>\n
Panasonic MZ1000 will be another step back compared to the flagship MZ2000.\u00a0The MZ1000 features a Master OLED panel rather than a Master OLED Pro like its more expensive brethren.\u00a0So far, there is no reason to believe that the MZ1000 will not have the same degraded screen as more expensive models.<\/p>\n
The Panasonic MZ980 will be basically identical to the MZ1000, except that, apart from a different design, the sound system will consist of two 10W speakers.<\/p>\n
Now about Panasonic LCD TVs.\u00a0Last year, the company launched the\u00a0Panasonic LX940\u00a0with a 120Hz LCD panel and LED backlight.\u00a0However, this model was intended only for EU countries.<\/p>\n
In 2022, the Panasonic LX800, unlike the rest of the Panasonic line, ran the Google Android TV operating system.\u00a0It came in 43″, 50″, 55″, 65″, and 75″ sizes.\u00a0The two smaller models had HDR Bright Panel+ displays, while the larger models had HDR Cinema Display.\u00a0We hope to see the MX800 in 2023 with a few updates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Panasonic also introduced new entry-level LCD displays.\u00a0The MX600 series with 4K resolution and Dolby Vision sounds especially interesting.\u00a0The new Panasonic MX600s are also the only models that still fit into the lower middle class.\u00a0In addition to HDR10 and Dolby Vision, they have support for Dolby Atmos.<\/p>\n
Apps for Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube are right on board.\u00a0Voice control is implemented on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.\u00a0The MX600E series models are available in 43\u2033, 50\u2033, 55\u2033 and 65\u2033 screen sizes.\u00a0A triple tuner is also present on board.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Panasonic doesn’t reveal exactly what features the HDMI ports support other than\u00a0eARC\u00a0.\u00a0Most likely, there will be only ALLM, and not VRR or 4K at 120 Hz.\u00a0As interfaces, the manufacturer calls three HDMI, two USB, optical audio input, headphones and Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n
Then come the three entry-level series MS330, MS350 and MS360.\u00a0The MS330 and MS350 are available in 24″ or 32″ screen sizes at 720p resolution.\u00a0These models have a triple tuner.\u00a0The difference between the Panasonic MS350 and the MS330 is that the MS350 comes with streaming services as apps at the factory.<\/p>\n
In addition, this series is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice assistants.\u00a0The Panasonic MS360 series with a 40-inch screen has a resolution of up to 1080p.\u00a0It should be noted that Panasonic acts primarily as a brand.\u00a0The company relies on Vestel as a low cost LCD partner.\u00a0Vestel is also behind brands like Toshiba or Telefunken.\u00a0So Panasonic is more of a brand than a manufacturer here.<\/p>\n
