Panasonic's GZ2000 OLED TVs not only support both the two most prominent, premium, dynamic metadata based HDR formats Dolby's Dolby Vision and Samsung and Panasonic backed HDR 10+, that adds dynamic metadata to the bases structure of HDR 10. HDR 10+ major draw is the lack of licensing fees.
Sofar HDR 10 and BBC/NHK developed HLG are used in most HDR broadcasts, disks and services, only some of the large premium US streaming services use Dolby Vision or other dynamic meta data HDR formats.
The Panasonic OLED TVs for the coming year will be the first TVs LCD or OLED that support both. Panasonic being the obvious candidate for the first as Samsung is too invested in HDR 10+, as its developer, to license Dolby Vision. Panasonic is already licensing Dolby Vision,and has introdcuced the first UHD Blu-ray player wiith both DV and HDR 10+ support.
The Panasonic image processor with its dynamic LUT for content based HDR curve adaptation is updated, HCX is now called PRO. Panasonic's Atmos support now extends to built-in upward-firing speakers. The total audio system has also been tuned by Technics engineers. And of course there is support for voice assistants, to integrate seamlessly with a smart home setup.
"Featuring an even faster Dynamic LUT, the GZ2000 is Panasonic's best TV at selecting and displaying the correct color for every single brightness level. Even when brightness levels and contrast vary rapidly within a scene".
According to Panasonic the "OLED panel incorporates custom hardware improvements by Panasonic". Optimized by leading Hollywood colorist, Stefan Sonnenfeld, the new panel highlights unparalleled color accuracy and significantly better than average brightness levels.
"Customized by Panasonic R&D engineers. This has resulted in even greater control of the parameters that affect picture quality. In particular, the average brightness level has been boosted significantly and contrast handling improved, resulting in increased dynamic range. HDR content now looks even more impactful, with the GZ2000 effortlessly able to reproduce tricky scenes of variable brightness and contrast – often found in live sports broadcasts and in action movies. Panasonic has extended the range and reduced the interval between calibration steps at the darkest end of the RGB and gamma scales".
