The Panasonic MZ2000 is a superb flagship OLED TV designed for movie fans and now offers the brightness benefits of MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology mixed with proprietary heat sinks to offer superb peak brightness and HDR playback.
SDR and HDR content are accurate thanks to Filmmaker Mode out of the box, plus there is the added benefit to bright room viewing of a new light sensor and white balance adjustment that follows the creator's intent but adjusts the image to suit your environment.
Peak brightness and HDR tone mapping match that of the other major flagships in 2023, with excellent HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision playback that is incredibly bright, vivid and colourful.
Gaming is also good with two HDMI 2.1 ports (40Gbps) an improved game bar and an accurate True Game picture mode. It’s not perfect and there are a few slight niggles here and there, but overall, the Panasonic MZ2000 offers superb cinematic SDR and HDR image quality along with an excellent Dolby Atmos sound system and it certainly lives up to its flagship status.
Highly Recommended.
The good
Superb cinematic SDR & HDR image quality
Excellent brightness with superb black levels and shadow detail retrieval
True game picture mode, game bar and decent gaming features
Very good sound quality
The not so good
Only two 40Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports with eARC using one
Some posterisation around bright objects
Some just above black dithering noticeable
Best picture settings for the MZ2000 - • Panasonic MZ2000 BEST ...

It’s a shame you cannot get the same TV spec without the the built in sound bar. It doesn’t consider those of us that have a separate system. I went with the awesome G3 which looks fantastic wall mounted.

I adore Panasonics Image approach, it's so naturalistic and film-like vs. even Sony. I'm still driving a Panasonic Plasma (the last one - the best one) and even all these years later, I LOVE it's image, even playing PS5 on it. Will say, their design needs a bit of a touch, to stand out, as it's 'best image' with a huge compromise on a very standard looking set (they should stand out in a way that B&O does, in their own way)

@vlcthefish 10 ай бұрын

Yes they got the best approach for image when watching more critical content like movies at night but their marketing is terrible and the lead they use to hold over other brands a few years ago is shrinking substantially to the point the LG G3 scored higher by AVForums review. Not to mention assuming you happen to live in a country that they sell them their prices can be very high depending on the country and they don't even offer MLA in 77" whereas LG and Phillips will have this option.

@koincidental 10 ай бұрын

@Richmondthefish I agree. That commitment to image quality, comes at a premium that does male their sets unfortunately too expensive. Having said that, my plasma is some 15 years old, and if still runs like a charm and has image quality that rives 90% of led lcd tvs. So there's something to be said for that ;) But, unfortunately the market is run by NIT numbers and jargon.

With regards to the LZ2000 I think there were certainly some quality control issues with the sound system.

@smugeebear The MZ1500 & MZ2000 will be great tv going by the available reviews. On paper the MX950 looks very good and is lot cheaper them the two models mentioned. However when it comes to reviews of the MX950 complety non-existent except for the 4 reviews on the panasonic website. Confused on whether the MX950 is a good tv. Guessing it will be similar to the Sony mini led tv which has been reviewed well. But jury's out until any reviews are available and feedback on the mx950.

But when it comes to using overall latest smart tech/apps/softwares updates, gaming 120hz & number of ports supported from Smart tech TV's then LG & Samsung will be leaders in 1st place equally😅. It's always a difficult buy decision to make between these 2 Japanese & SKOREA great TV brands 😊

Sony are not picture accurate due to their reliance on the faux sharpness setting ‘reality creation’. That’s why Sony’s will never have the filmmaker mode picture preset on their TVs. Disable reality creation and the PQ via Sony’s, any model, is truly appalling. The only way to defeat this is by way of calibration and who wants to pay an extra £400-£500 for calibration on top of the already overpriced Sonys?!

Better to say S90C would beat it being the better one overall and futureproofing than S95C as it also share same problem with bandwidth limitation, but for picture and even colors MZ2000 is the best looking tv we had so far. Best tv last year except gaming? LZ2000/LZ1500 (last year models). Have you seen LZ2000/LZ1500 beside a S95C just to make a even very different comparison. Also, have you seen a S95B (1211/1204/1205) properly calibrated vs S95C?
