Panasonic’s new TV, the LZ2000, uses sensors to detect the color temperature of the light in the room and adjust the picture accordingly, for example if you’re watching TV when it’s dark outside. The feature is based on Panasonic’s AI Auto mode, which was introduced last year, which uses artificial intelligence that identifies in real time what content is being played and then automatically optimizes the picture and sound accordingly.
The LZ2000 also offers directional audio, as well as a Panasonic Soundscape 360-degree system, which can connect to Dolby Atmos. The TV’s speakers are upright, side and front, and this should help create a more immersive sound.
If you are a gamer, there is a “Game Control Panel” function which, among other things, allows players to precisely adjust the black parts in dark scenes, making it easier to see the path ahead or spot enemies hiding in the shadows. Panasonic has also reduced gaming lag at 60Hz, which most gaming devices support with its “60Hz refresh mode”.
An interesting feature for people with low vision is that the accessibility settings can be easily accessed via the context menu, which also provides voice guidance automatically.
The LZ2000 will be available in 55, 65 and 77 inch sizes. The LZ2000 supports most HDR formats, including Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Vision, Filmmaker Mode, and HDR10+. All models have 4K resolution and support for Alexa and Google Assistant.
The 65- and 55-inch LZ2000 will launch in stores in June/July, while the 77-inch will launch in August. Swedish prices are not available at the time of writing.
