HDR10+ Adaptive and new HCX Pro AI processor

The main addition to the new OLED from Panasonic is the HCX Pro AI processor, with artificial intelligence to detect the type of content being played and adapt the image accordingly.

Panasonic explains that more than a million pieces of content have been used to help the engine understand if we are watching a movie, a soccer game, or a documentary for example. Depending on the type of content, the image and sound settings will be adapted accordingly.

In addition to the processor, Panasonic incorporates its Master HDR OLED Professional Edition, which is nothing more than OLED panels calibrated by Panasonic’s team of engineers and adjusted by the colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld, a contributor to films such as ‘Jurassic World’ or ‘Star Wars: The Awakening of Strength’.

Panasonic does not forget about Dolby Vision IQ, HLG Photo, and the Filmmaker Mode, which combines with its Intelligent Sensing to adapt the image quality according to the light.

The company promises that the brightness levels of its OLED, both the maximum peak nits and the overall average brightness of the image, are above its rivals.

For the software, Panasonic opts for My Home Screen 6.0, with some new features at the design level and a collaboration with LoungeV Studio and Lumix Club to access exclusive content. The TV also incorporates a Dual Bluetooth Connection to be able to send the sound to two devices at the same time.
