TUNED BY HOLLYWOOD
For top end OLED TVs, Panasonic’s technical accuracy is made possible by Japanese knowhow and engineering, merged with the colour-tuning skills of Stefan Sonnenfeld.
Stefan Sonnenfeld, Founder and CEO of Company 3 is a trusted collaborator of some of the world’s best filmmakers. Sonnenfeld is among a handful of leading artists who have championed the power of colour grading to tell stories and communicate emotion.
Described by NPR as the “da Vinci of the movies,” Sonnenfeld has applied his skills as a colourist to many of the most acclaimed and popular features of the past decade: 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 other leading colourists, he uses Panasonic OLED screens as large-format client reference monitors in his daily workflow. Indeed, Panasonic’s OLED TVs are widely used in studios and postproduction houses.
The improved Filmmaker Mode that ensures that viewers can enjoy their content exactly as the artist intended – whether they’re watching in a purpose-built cinema room or an airy family living space.
Ambient colour temperature sensing has been upgraded for Filmmaker Mode, ensuring accurate picture reproduction in any lighting conditions; for example, by lowering the temperature in response to warmly lit conditions, or brightening the dark tones in extremely light environments.
LEVEL UP YOUR GAMING
Gaming has developed rapidly in recent years. Plots are scripted like Hollywood blockbusters, 3D worlds are bigger and more realistic than ever before, and there are myriad gaming universes to explore.
To fully immerse in this growing world of entertainment, gamers have traditionally turned to monitors to get the most out of the latest consoles and PCs that offer advanced rendering technologies and superfast load times.
However, this can all now be achieved with the latest Panasonic OLED TVs, which deliver the experience as it was intended by games developers. Panasonic’s gaming enhancements in 2022 were recognised not just by gamers but by gaming studios and professional eSports teams – and in 2023 this commitment to gamers has gone up a whole new level.
Panasonic is happy to announce that it is the official TV partner for Diablo IV®, the blockbuster gaming title for 2023 from Activision.

In addition, it provides a function for visually impaired users to learn the buttons by audible feedback.8
As well as offering these important accessibility improvements, the MZ1500 also helps you relax. The myScenery feature, which allows you to choose a selection of restful images and videos9, has new nature sounds, which have been collected from all over the world by the Joy Foundation, inc.10 and newly encoded in Dolby Atmos®.

Panasonic announces the MX950 LED 4K Ultra HD TV, offering an exceptional combination of picture quality and versatility, as well as the latest Mini LED2 panel technology.
Available in 55- and 65-inch screen sizes, the new model delivers a premium LED TV experience, designed specifically for picture quality enthusiasts with bright airy rooms that still want to enjoy a high level of picture fidelity at a reasonable cost.
PANASONIC’S BRIGHTEST LED PICTURE YET
Thanks to Mini LED technology, which enables far greater control over the backlighting of an LED TV, the MX950 flagship LED TV is capable of outstanding brightness and contrast. Mini LED also minimises the halo effect found on many LCD TVs, by reducing light bleed and thereby ensuring that darker areas of the screen remain dark. Furthermore, the MX950 utilises a Quantum Dot layer for astounding colour reproduction.
Marrying these top-quality LED TV panels to the advanced HCX Pro AI processor and an improved Filmmaker Mode ensures that viewers can enjoy their favourite content just as the artist intended.

Taking full advantage of this peak picture performance, a range of HDR (high dynamic range) formats are supported – Dolby Vision IQ®3, and HDR 10+ Adaptive.
IN THE GAME
With the MX950, switching from TV to gaming couldn’t be simpler, thanks to Panasonic’s Game Mode Extreme.

And, when connected to a system using a NVIDIA RTX graphics card4, the new models automatically optimise input lag and VRR settings for tear- and stutter-free gaming sessions.
Bringing new layers of intensity to every gaming session, the TVs come with new gaming sound modes, that allow players to lose themselves in whatever universe they’re exploring.
Available to set up in the MX950’s upgraded Game Control Board, RPG (Role-Playing Game) Sound Mode is designed to make users feel as though they are submerged inside the game’s virtual world, while FPS (First-Person Shooter) Mode helps users sense where other players are through surround sound, allowing them to hear subtle sounds such as footsteps for a tactical advantage.
SOUND WITH REAL IMPACT
A great picture is nothing without impactful audio, of course. For immersive sound that delivers new realms of depth, clarity, and detail, the MX950 features Dolby Atmos® that creates an enriched surround experience.
Meanwhile, Panasonic’s Dynamic Theatre Surround uses a built-in sub-woofer to deliver deep powerful bass and a truly dynamic sound that transports you from your sofa to the heart of the action without the need for a bulky separate speaker system.
