TH-55FZ1000U OLED TVs - Panasonic New Zealand

Experience True OLED Perfection

The ultimate in television technology, OLED cannot be matched; accept no imitations. In Panasonic OLED TVs, true detail, true contrast, and true colour combine to create the most exquisite picture quality imaginable while a complete suite of smart technology provides access to all the content you could ever need and a premium Technics speaker provides cinematic sound.

Features

8 million pixels, a billion colours

True black, shows true colour. Panasonic OLED TVs have a self-illuminating system that individually regulates 8 million pixels. It controls the intensity of the illumination based on the amount of electrical current flowing. When there is no current at all, no light is emitted, enabling stunning expression of deep, rich blacks, as well as the ultimate contrast ratio.

OLED Panel Structure

OLED is a self-illuminating panel technology which individually illuminates each pixel. As it needs no backlight like LCD TVs, when the signal level is reduced to zero, black parts of the screen are real pitch black.

Freeview from the word go

Built-in Freeview Live TV & On Demand

Panasonic TVs are set up with Freeview ready to go so that set up is easy and you can enjoy all free-to-air channels right away. More than just live TV, you can now enjoy Freeview On Demand on your Panasonic TV. Binge on entire seasons or catch up on what you have missed, it really is up to you.

This is True Detail

Experience every detail in exquisite clarity

Discover detail in light and black; from the very brightest to the darkest, with silky-smooth gradation. See real-life details in precision beyond imagination with Ultra-Fine Tuning; an advanced technology designed to reveal unimaginable nuance in tone, expressing the finest life-like details.

This is True Contrast

Experience the most dynamic contrasts between dark and light

Brilliant light emerges from the deepest black. Panasonic utilizes the Dynamic Tone Mapping of HDR10+ and the Absolute Black Filter to create exceptional contrast.

Absolute Black Filter

Panasonic’s own external reflection neutraliser

While OLED technology is renowned for its ability to deliver ‘absolute black’, external reflections can reduce the accuracy of black tone reproduction. The unique Absolute Black Filter inside Panasonic OLED TV neutralises reflections to deliver intensely rich and accurate black shades.

What is HDR

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. A TV with HDR expands the expressible brights and darks to achieve more detailed images. When images are captured and displayed in 4K HDR they show greater colour and brightness range than even the naked eye can take in resulting in exquisite detail. Some TVs are stuck at an outdated 100-300 nits (brightness measurement) – reflecting the days of CRT TVs. In producing images at this level, a lot of details are lost in dark and bright colour areas. HDR delivers real-life details by increasing the brightness level to 1000 nits.

Multi HDR Support

Support for multiple HDR formats

Panasonic TVs now support multiple HDR formats such as HDR10 (the standard HDR format for films and UHD Blu-ray™ discs), and now also Hybrid Log Gamma (the HDR format for broadcast TV developed by the BBC and Japan's NHK). In addition, the next generation, new HDR format, HDR10+ is also supported.

This is True Colour

Experience colour like it’s the first time

Panasonic OLED TVs have the power to reproduce the colours of the real world using professional colour-processing technology: Hexa Chroma Drive Pro.

The Best Colour Ever

Panasonic’s technology provides natural, beautiful colours using what we call "6-colour Reproduction".

Hexa Chroma Drive Pro

What is Hexa Chroma Drive?
It is an original Panasonic technology for providing natural, beautiful colours using what we call “6-Colour Reproduction”.

What does this mean for you?
It means you experience a more subtle, naturally toned colour palette which looks authentic in any scene. Put simply, no matter what you’re watching on TV, the picture quality will be bright, colourful, and natural!

Wide Colour Space

By using special Wide Colour Phosphor Technology capable of producing a wider colour range, Hexa Chroma Drive covers more than 90% of DCI standards.

6 Colour Reproduction

Hexa Chroma Drive uses 6-Colour Reproduction, it manages colours by adding 3 complementary colours (CMY) to the 3 primary colours axes (RGB). This creates images which are naturally beautiful.

3D LUT

Panasonic Premium 4K TVs use a professional colour management system, 3D Look Up Tables, to reproduce colours in extremely fine brightness increments. This ensures that tones look accurate at virtually any brightness level.

Take your TV with you wherever you go

TV Anytime

Have you heard of TV Anytime? It is Panasonic’s unique and innovative feature which allows you to access your TV from a tablet or phone regardless of where in the world you might be. You can use the system to set recordings on your TV or, even better, you can stream live broadcasts or recorded content from your TV to your smart device - even if you're outdoors. All you need is an internet connection and "Panasonic Media Center App" in your smart device. Even thought On Demand provides us with easy ways to catch up on missed programmes, there are still things like sport, the news, and live events that we simply don’t want to miss. TV Anytime means you don’t have to miss those moments.

Expect more from your TV

4K HDR Game Mode

We know that for many, buying a TV is about more than sport, TV shows, and NETFLIX. TVs are the centre of our gaming experiences too and so our engineers got to work to make sure that our optimal picture quality was matched by speed and feedback performance for the ultimate in gaming capability. By switching to 4K HDR Game Mode you’ll halve the display lag time from 40 milliseconds to 20 milliseconds. Superior image processing means quicker response times and an experience of instantaneous game play. Additionally, as the name suggests, the mode is perfect for 4K capable games; you’ll notice the difference.

This is True Sound

Dynamic sound and powerful low tones deliver an immersive, spectacular audio experience.

Dynamic Blade Speaker – Tuned by Technics

Powerful, Dynamic Sound

Created in collaboration with Panasonic's high-end audio brand Technics, this speaker offers a remarkably high level of sound quality. Inside this deceptively slim audio system are no fewer than 12 speaker units. It maximizes images with richer bass and more realistic surround sound. On top of this, the Panasonic Bluetooth Audio Link brings breathtaking sound from a smartphone or tablet device for the ultimate in listening pleasure.

Dynamic Blade Speaker

Multiple Speaker Units + Quad Passive Radiator

Full 80-watt output realizes dynamic sound, even with a thin profile and powerful bass. A larger woofer and increased speaker capacity also achieve more powerful sound. In addition, two passive radiators are located in front of and behind the right and left speaker units. This opposing configuration dramatically reduces vibration noise.

True to the Filmmakers’ Vision

The choice of Hollywood’s Professionals – Panasonic OLED

Panasonic has long understood that delivering the most accurate TV pictures possible means working with the creative community who actually make all those films and TV shows you love to watch. This is why there’s been a Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory in the heart of Los Angeles for more than 20 years, collaborating with film studios, individual directors, cinematographers, and colourists for the latest technology.

360° of elegant style

Like a work of fine art, the design the sophisticated design of the FZ1000 completes any living space. Designed with you in mind and adjustable for perfect viewing conditions, Panasonic has merged the ideas of individual style with personal environments to create a model that seamlessly integrates with your environment – whatever your style.
