Panasonic’s latest flagship model features a new panel, a new heat management system and a series of proprietary technologies to enhance image processing, gaming and audio.
HDR images at the top
Brightness is an essential factor for a perfect HDR image and the MZ2000 TV takes us to a new dimension of brightness and OLED expression.
The MZ2000 features Panasonic’s new custom structure, “Master OLED Ultimate”, which uses a new state-of-the-art panel with Micro Lens Array, coupled with a new multi-layer heat management system developed by Panasonic engineers. The gain in terms of brightness leads to a maximum increase of 150% and average values significantly higher than those of the previous models. In combination with Panasonic’s HCX Pro AI processor, Master OLED Ultimate ensures realistic rendering of details and high color accuracy.
Like previous models, the MZ2000 TV also supports a wide range of HDR content, such as Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10 + Adaptive and HLG Photo, the still image format that allows you to reproduce photos in HDR quality.
Cinematic video quality
Panasonic OLED MZ2000 combines Japanese know-how and technology with the professional skills of colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld. Founder and CEO of Company 3, Stefan Sonnenfeld has collaborated with the most famous international directors and is one of the few artists in the world who have been able to masterfully use the “color grading” technique to tell stories and convey emotions.
Defined by NPR as “the Leonardo da Vinci of cinema”, Sonnenfeld has worked on the most acclaimed films of the last decade, including: Top Gun: Maverick, A Star is Born, Wonder Woman, Man of Steel, Beauty and the beast, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Jurassic World, 300 and many more. Like many famous colourists, he uses large OLED screens from Panasonic as a reference monitor in his daily work. Production and post-production houses around the world have already made extensive use of Panasonic OLED TVs for years.
In addition, the MZ2000 TV features an enhanced Filmmaker mode, allowing viewers to enjoy content exactly as the director intended, whether in the cinema or at home. To ensure accurate reproduction of images in any lighting condition, the ambient temperature sensing technology has been further improved for the Filmmaker mode, for example by lowering the temperature in rooms with warm lighting or making dark tones more vivid in the brightest environments.
In addition to optimizing the picture according to its surroundings, the MZ2000 TV improves the playback experience for most sources. Another important function for the variety of content played, ranging from HD images and beyond, is the 4K Remaster Streaming algorithm that detects resolution and analyzes textures by area, to deliver clearer and more detailed images thanks to adaptive processing advanced, with visible results for sharpness and natural effects.
Panasonic MZ2000 also to play
You no longer need a dedicated gaming monitor: Panasonic OLED TV MZ2000 televisions are also a recommended choice for immersing yourself in the ever-expanding virtual worlds of video games. This is thanks to compatibility with the HDMI 2.1 format, full 4K resolution, a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, extremely low latency and input lag, as well as VRR and AMD Freesync Premium technologies.
The MZ2000 TV also supports NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology. When connected to a system with NVIDIA RTX graphics, this technology automatically optimizes input lag and VRR settings, delivering lag-free gaming sessions on an NVIDIA-approved and recognized TV.
To ensure the best possible rendering of video games, the new True Game mode transfers all the accurate color characteristics available for cinema to the gaming world, while the HDR Tone Mapping function provides the source-oriented color expression of the gaming device.
True Game mode is calibratable and displays the Calman Calibrated logo when adjusted with Portrait Displays’ Calman color calibration software, the de facto standard in the world of content creation, distribution and playback. This means that True Game mode is able to reproduce video games according to the exact intentions of the creators. At the same time, Dolby Vision reproduces the images of any video game with maximum realism.
In addition to the picture, the TVs of this series also offer advanced settings for the sound of games too. Configurable on the advanced Game Control Board of the MZ2000 TV, RPG (Role-Playing Game) audio mode is designed for gamers to enjoy an immersive experience, while FPS (First-Person Shooter) mode offers pinpoint audio pinpointing , which allows you to perceive even the slightest sounds, such as the sound of footsteps, offering a tactical advantage to the player.
Superior sound
The Panasonic MZ2000 features an enhanced Bass Booster algorithm which, when selected from the menu, delivers deep bass with immediate response, allowing viewers to enjoy dynamic audio through the all-in-one 360° Soundscape system of Panasonic TVs. Developed by Technics, the multiple system of up-firing, side-firing and front-firing speakers transmits sounds in all directions to produce a three-dimensional soundstage with Dolby Atmos content that makes movies and games even more realistic.
Placed throughout the TV, the front speaker system allows for a wider and more precise soundstage, as well as adjusting the volume of the audio in different parts of the room. MZ2000 features three Sound Focus modes: Pinpoint Mode, to direct the sound to a specific point; Area Mode, to move the sound to a group of people in a specific area of the room; Spot Mode, to increase the volume in one point and still allow other people present to hear the audio.
Directional sound opens the door to numerous advantages: for example, those with small children who sleep in an adjacent room can move the sound away from the neighboring wall, to allow the children to sleep peacefully without sacrificing quality audio. Another practical application is the ability to turn up the volume for a specific hearing-impaired viewer.
Update to My Home Screen 8.0
The new TV runs on the latest version of the manufacturer’s My Home Screen 8.0 operating system, which supports the main video streaming services and has been enhanced with Bass Booster, myScenery and accessibility functions.
Panasonic has partnered with the German Federation of the Blind and Visually Impaired to make accessibility options even more functional. In the initial setup phase, the MZ2000 TV offers various setting options for hearing and visually impaired users who are then guided through voice commands to make the first time installation of the Panasonic TV easier. In addition, there is a feature that helps visually impaired people learn button operation through auditory feedback.
In addition to the accessibility functions, the Panasonic MZ2000 is an ally for relaxation: the myScenery function allows you to choose from a variety of relaxing images and videos, it now also has new nature sounds recorded worldwide by the Joy Foundation encoded in Dolby Atmos format.
