Panasonic TX-65CZ950 promises ultimate picture quality

Mastering the magic of light. Hmm, that’s funny. If you relate that to televisions…what’s there to master? With plasma every pixel could be turned ‘on’ or ‘off’. Good work master Joda! The problem with LED tv’s is that they work with light clusters. Mastering proved very difficult! Then there was OLED. In simple, understandable words this technology combines the illumination from LED with the possibility to adjust the colour at pixel level. Now, we’re getting somewhere. At this time only Panasonic and LG pursue this technology. Samsung believes in further upgrading the LED technology, their top models are labeled S-UHD. How can we consumers still see the light?

Oh, OLED?

The special feature of OLED televisions is that each individual, organic pixel can provide light and color output. This kind of accuracy or dynamics can’t be produced by more traditional screens. OLED televisions can even achieve deeper blacks than the legendary plasma screens from Panasonic, without the noise of plasma technology.

4K Studio Master Processor

The Panasonic TX-65CZ950 is equipped with a special, customised version of the powerful, professional 4K Studio Master Processor. The 4K studio master processor uses technology that is inspired by the professional AV Division of Panasonic, combined with the knowledge and experience of experts from the Hollywood film industry. As the renowned color professional Mike Sowa, who has calibrated the imaging performance of the television in a professional manner. This has raised the level of performance of the OLED display of the Panasonic TX-65CZ950 to an unprecedented level.

Absolute Black

That was a real challenge for the makers of OLED displays, as the shift from full black to just a little less black is a difficult gradation to display. Thanks to its experience with plasma technology, Panasonic has solved this problem with the TX-65CZ950, resulting in incredibly beautiful and fine details in even the darkest parts of the picture. If a director filmed some fine detail, you will be able to see it on the Panasonic TX-65CZ950.

Mike Sowa: “Panasonic didn’t make any compromise in the development of its newest TV with 4K Pro, just as I do in my work. This proves to me that the company really strives for the best of the best. In my profession I tell visual stories. In addition, colors must be faithful and I need a screen that complements my creative vision. Panasonic has applied a standard that I know only from professional screens for the development of its newest 4K OLED TV Pro.”

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
