PANASONIC JZ2000: THE RECORD-BREAKING OLED TELEVISION IS NOW TOO READY FOR GAMING
Panasonic is the benchmark when it comes to vision quality. The Japanese company certainly needs no introduction, especially in the OLED field, after all Panasonic has focused on this for its top-of-the-range TVs. Last year the HZ2000 impressed in our review , thanks to a peak brightness unattainable for other OLED TVs, painstaking care in calibration and its versatility, since it supports all HDR standards on the market, all elements that make it a one-of-a-kind TV .
This year Panasonic has decided to raise the bar even more,
making its successor JZ2000 ready not only to best represent video content,but
also games , thanks to the implementation of HDMI 2.1 and an even more accurate
gaming mode.
A truly versatile TV
Panasonic JZ2000 is the spearhead of the OLED 2021 range.
The other models are still unknown, which will be unveiled in March, however
the Japanese house has allowed us to take a look at its top of the range, albeit
in a virtual way. Also this year Panasonic aims to impress with an
above-average peak brightness of OLEDs , thanks to the use of a Master HDR OLED
Professional Edition panel, which should allow to reach up to 1000 peak nits.
This year there will also be competition from Sony with its A90J , also with a
higher brightness than average, but the fact remains that Panasonic has been
offering solutions of this type for some time and has more experience in
pushing to the maximum. an OLED panel.
JZ2000 will come in 55 and 65-inch cuts and will be equipped
with the new HCX Pro AI Processor image processor : its impact on video quality
and audio output is still to be discovered, what is certain is that compared to
last year they have been made significant steps forward in the gaming field,
also possible thanks to this more advanced processor, which has an impact on
input lag.
During our test with the HZ2000 we had measured an input lag
of about 22 ms, this year, thanks to the test carried out by Panasonic during the
presentation, we can confirm that this value has dropped to about 14 ms . In
the gaming field, however, the most important novelty is certainly the presence
of the functions related to the game of HDMI 2.1 . Full support is given to 4K
at 120 Hz, VRR and ALLM, we also expect a renewed game mode, given the name
change to " Game Mode Extreme ", which will be able to take advantage
of a video preset designed specifically for the game.
Also on the audio front Panasonic has chosen the best
available, with the integrated 360 ° Soundscape Pro speaker system, compatible
with Dolby Atmos, created in collaboration with Technics. We haven't heard it
yet, but the HZ2000 system was already great, with the new model we'll see if
there are any tangible improvements.
Like the last one, all HDR standards are present, from HDR10
to HDR10 +, passing through Dolby Vision. There is also Dolby Vision IQ and
Filmmaker Mode with Intelligent Sensing, two modes that, thanks to the sensors
integrated in the TV, adjust the image quality based on the light present in
the viewing environment . New this year is HDR10 + Adaptive, which applies the
same formula to HDR10 + content.
On the operating system front , the My Home Screen is
confirmed, however, in version 6.0. Although some low-end models from Panasonic
have arrived in Europe with Android TV, the Japanese company continues the path
traced in recent years, confirming its OS also on the OLED 2021 range. No
indication has arrived on the price or availability in Italy, we will probably
have to wait until March for more details.
