Combining professional-level OLED performance with a revolutionary swivel design, Panasonic's new MZ1500 4K Ultra HD TV delivers exceptionally immersive film and gaming experiences that echo the company's flagship MZ2000 model.

With their Hollywood tuning and superb colour accuracy, Panasonic OLED TVs have long been considered the finest choice for films, TV shows, and gaming. Available in 55-, and 65-inch sizes, Panasonic’s latest model boasts an extraordinary HDR performance, alongside a host of proprietary picture processing, gaming, and audio improvements.

The result is a beautifully bright OLED display that sounds as good as it looks and works as seamlessly for gaming as it does for film – making the MZ1500 a must-have TV for movie lovers and gaming fanatics alike.

UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY

Brightness with control is everything when it comes to delivering the perfect HDR picture – and with MZ1500, Panasonic takes OLED panels to the next level with Master OLED PRO1.

Developed in Japan, Master OLED PRO panel modules deliver enhanced brightness, leading to a superior dynamic contrast and viewing experience. Meanwhile, the HCX Pro AI Processor instantly analyses the picture, refining colour accuracy, contrast, and clarity to ensure even the fastest-moving scenes look flawlessly natural.

Supremely adaptable, MZ1500 uses Panasonic’s Auto AI feature to analyse the incoming signal, instantly adjusting picture and sound settings for sport, live music, film scenes, and more. For crisp streaming content, the Streaming 4K Remaster algorithm identifies the resolution and analyses textures by area to deliver more detailed, cleaner images through adaptive advanced processing.

As with previous models, the MZ1500 supports a wide range of HDR formats, including Dolby Vision IQ®2 and HDR10+ Adaptive.

A PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL PERFORMANCE AT HOME

Panasonic’s latest OLED TVs represent the combination of 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.

In addition, the MZ1500 features an 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.

Using ambient colour temperature sensing, Filmmaker Mode ensures 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 bright environments.

NEXT-LEVEL GAMING

In response to the rapid development of gaming on TVs in recent years, the MZ1500 comes with a host of new features to guarantee gamers get the most out of the latest consoles and PCs.

With support for HDMI 2.1 key features such as full 4K resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, ultra-low latency, and input lag, VRR, and AMD FreeSync™ Premium technology3, the MZ1500 brings epic speed, high resolution, and seamless motion to every game.

The MZ1500 is also NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible. When connected to a system using a NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics card, it automatically optimises input lag and VRR settings for tear- and stutter-free gaming sessions, on a TV validated by NVIDIA.

To ensure every title looks its best, the new True Game Mode brings all the colour accuracy features available for movies into the world of gaming, while improved HDR Tone Mapping delivers source-oriented expression from the gaming device. In addition, True Game Mode is calibratable and shows the Calman Calibrated logo after adjustment with Portrait Displays’ Calman® Color calibration software – the de facto standard in the world of content creation, distribution, and playback. This means True Game Mode reproduces games as intended by their creators. Meanwhile, Dolby Vision® unlocks the most lifelike visuals each game has to offer4.

Of course, there’s more to crafting a great gaming experience than delivering the perfect image. Newly added gaming sound modes allow users to fully lose themselves in the gameplay, adding new layers of intensity, tension, and reality tailored to whatever title they’re playing.

Available to set up in the MZ1500’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 users to hear subtle sounds such as footsteps for a tactical advantage.

SUPERIOR SOUND

Impeccable vision is nothing without an audio performance to match. Panasonic’s Dynamic Theatre Surround Pro5 delivers truly dynamic sound that transports you from your sofa to the heart of the action without the need for a bulky separate speaker system.

The MZ1500 also comes with a new built-in front-firing speaker and built-in subwoofer6 for an immersive spatial soundstage with Dolby Atmos® that brings movies and games to life.

With a wide selection of sound modes to choose from, the MZ1500 delivers deep, powerful bass and crystal-clear dialogue, whatever kind of content you’re watching.

REVOLUTIONARY DESIGN

The MZ1500 has been carefully designed to deepen the sense of immersion offered by Panasonic’s impeccable HDR picture, with lean, beautiful lines that invite you into a world of captivating imagery.

Coming in a range of sizes to suit everything from gaming setups to home cinema rooms, the MZ1500 makes use of Panasonic’s revolutionary Swivel Design, allowing for a wide range of ideal viewing angles7.

SMART FEATURES

The MZ1500 features the latest iteration of Panasonic’s highly rated smart TV OS, my Home Screen 8.0, which supports all major video streaming services and comes with improvements to the Bass Booster function, accessibility features, and the myScenery function.

Panasonic has worked with the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted to further improve our accessibility options. In the initial set up, the MZ1500 offers different setting options for both hearing and visually impaired users, which then can be guided through the initial setup by Voice Guidance to simplify the first time installation of the Panasonic TV. 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®.

You can control the MZ1500 using just your voice with Alexa built-in11 or Google Assistant-enabled devices12.

FLEXIBLE RECEPTION WITH PENTA TUNER

Panasonic makes TV reception extremely flexible with the MZ1500 and uses the convenient Penta Tuner with Twin function, providing five different options for advanced broadcast reception. Only available from Panasonic, it’s perfectly equipped for all conceivable TV reception paths today, including DVB-C (cable reception), DVB-S (via satellite), DVB-T (traditional out/indoor antenna), TV to IP, and IPTV.

For the reception of cable, satellite and antenna, the twin concept offers a first-class experience, with the ability to watch one programme live while a second is recorded on a connected external USB hard disk. Meanwhile, two CI slots allow for the decoding of paid TV programmes. During installation, the TV automatically detects and selects which signal source is connected.

It also allows for TV to IP, receiving all TV programmes from the home network via a server, as well as IPTV, which streams content directly from the Internet.

With IPTV, the HbbTV Operator App Standard13 provides part of the TV user interface, combining terrestrial TV programmes with online content and automatically activating the app of the HbbTV operator every time the TV is switched on.
