Panasonic LZ2000
Pansonic stopped selling TVs in the U.S. many years ago, but it returned to CES 2022 with a product every American will hope comes stateside. Available in 55-, 65- and, now 77-inch sizes, the LZ2000 is an improvement over the previous model in just about every way—it’s brighter, adds gaming features, and comes with a new front-firing speaker array.
Picture enhancements include using sensors to detect the ambient room light color temperature and adjust the image to deliver what Panasonic considers a “more natural” viewing experience that’s more comfortable in dark environments. The TVs also use Panasonic’s Master OLED Pro, which sounds a lot like the other OLED flavors in that it promises improved brightness. Gamers will benefit from the new Game Control Board settings, which automatically detect Nvidia GPUs, improve 60Hz latency, and support HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K, 120Hz gaming.
Pricing for the LZ2000 will be revealed closer to the TV’s summer 2022 launch.
