Panasonic has announced

offerings – the GZ2000, GZ1500, GZ1000 and GZ950 – all of which support HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Also with these platforms, there will


also be three new 4K LCD series this year – the GX920 (available only in 75- inch screen size), GX800 and GX700. Sound is boosted by built-in upward-

All OLED screens and LCD models down to the GX800 support HLG Photo, the new still image format that brings stills photography into the HDR world. All OLED models also work with popular voice assistants so can integrate seamlessly with a Smart Home setup.
