The MZ2000 series from Panasonic – in the 55, 65 and 77 inch sizes – it offers what has already been seen in the past: exceptional colours, extraordinarily deep black levels and top-of-the-range performance. On paper it looks like the definitive OLED television for 360° entertainment – video games included – but let’s find out all the details in this one review del TV Panasonic MZ2000.
Our review of the Panasonic MZ2000 TV
The Panasonic MZ2000 Smart TV is a latest generation device that promises a sensational viewing experience. With a elegant and modern design, this television integrates perfectly into any home environment; Its slim frame and adjustable stand allow you to easily place it on any surface. The OLED panel (for this review 55″) offers sharp and realistic images, thanks to its ability to reproduce a wide range of colors and exceptional contrast levels.
This model is equipped with the new structure “Master OLED Ultimate” Of Panasonicwhich uses a new cutting-edge panel with Micro Lens Array(not available in the 77″ model). This innovative technology allows you to significantly improve light efficiency of every single Pixel (up to 150% plus) while increasing the viewing angle at the same time.
In terms of design…
…the MZ2000 series does not differ particularly from the previous generation models.
The TV raises a ultra-thin frame and an adjustable stand, adapts perfectly to any environment. What immediately catches the eye is the thickness: we are talking about approx 6.5 centimetersi in thickness (for 25,5 kg in weight) mainly due to the new heat dissipation and power technology of the panel.
Added to this is also the space occupied by additional speakers that accompany the front soundbar with 2 upper “upfiring” speakers, 2 side speakers and double woofers with passive radiators. All this translates into audio quality Dolby Atmos exceptional and an overall power of 150W (in the 55″; in the 65″ 160w and in the 77 170w)
To ensure the best audio quality, the system exploits the potential of Artificial Intelligence to analyze the space in which the TV is positioned: through acoustic signals, the system will study elements such as the distance of the sofa from the TV or the size of the room to return the best possible audio quality.
The same concept is also used for images. The technology of detection of the ambient temperature, already known in other Panasonic televisions, has now been further improved to ensure accurate image reproduction in all lighting conditions. With the MZ series the technology is able, for example, to lower the temperature or make dark shades more vibrant, all depending on the amount of light present in your space.
A new level of video quality
Without a doubt the strong point of this Panasonic MZ2000 is the aforementioned “Master OLED Ultimate” panel which in addition to offering all the quality of OLED panels also offers a resolution in 4K Ultra HD, 10 bit nativo e refresh rate fino a 120Hz. This translates into nothing short of exceptional image quality with vibrant colors and intense blacks, even in low light situations.
The MZ2000 series also supports all available formats: HDR10, HLG e Dolby Vision or even the new HDR10+ adaptive format. Added to these is the Dolby Vision IQ functionality, which adds a new dimension to HDR vision thanks to the television’s advanced sensor for ambient light. All to obtain the best possible quality.
The television is finally powered by a processor HCX Pro AI which includes further improvements in terms of Artificial Intelligence. Not empty words or marketing techniques but concrete functions that help manage all those functions linked to environmental conditions or energy saving.
Gaming side: your ideal gaming companion
Having mentioned gaming, we cannot help but dedicate a paragraph to the world of video games in which the Panasonic MZ2000 series moves excellently. It really is the ideal gaming companion thanks to its compatibility with the HDMI 2.1 format, 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, ultra-low latency and input lag and, last but not least, support for VRR and AMD Freesync Premium technologies and NVIDIA’s G-SYNC.
Among the television settings we also find one True Game mode all new that brings all the color fidelity for cinema to the world of video games. Added to this is the function HDR Tone Mapping for a better rendering of “Source-Oriented” lights and shadows. The integrated 360ﾟ Soundscape Pro audio system is in the same vein, capable of bringing us to the center of the action for a level of total immersion suited to different video game genres.
The evolution of the operating system
Also in the MZ2000 family we find the operating system native of Panasonic”My Home Screen” arrived at the version 8.0. The innovations are not so revolutionary and mainly concern accessibility and customization functions but they bring with them all the peculiarities of the UI that we have learned to love over the years. We find customization functions, entertainment platforms, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+, predefined image presets depending on the situation and so on.
Everything is as it should be although we wouldn’t have minded a few more changes. For example, some platforms such as NOW o Paramount+ and of Cloud Gaming still no trace, but overall it moves excellently and offers a level of customization of image and audio quality that is still unparalleled.
