Panasonic has developed a reputation for producing some of the most authentic and accurate TVs available. So much so that some Hollywood studios import Panasonic sets for professional use (the company no longer sells TVs in the US). It’s that sort of reputation that has also made Panasonic TVs the go-to for AV enthusiasts looking to watch movies in the way the creator intended, and it also makes the annual launch of Panasonic’s flagship TV a serious cause of excitement for the What Hi-Fi? reviews team.
Panasonic has in recent years stuck with a flagship formula that involves combining the best OLED panel available at the time with the most sophisticated processing in its repertoire, fine-tuning by the company’s own engineers in conjunction with Hollywood colourists, and a chunky, multi-speaker Dolby Atmos sound system. It’s a formula that has won it many plaudits over the years and, in fact, the LZ2000 was probably the best TV of last year, if you took value for money out of the equation.
The MZ2000 is Panasonic’s flagship TV for 2023. The formula remains the same but there is a big upgrade on the OLED panel front courtesy of brightness-boosting MLA technology.
