![]() All 2021 Panasonic TVs down to the JX940 will pack in two HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K/120Hz passthrough from a games console, while VRR (variable refresh rate) capability will keep input lag at 60Hz down to just 2.5ms, compared to 8ms in 2020 sets.Īn update in 2021 will bring full VRR capability to 120Hz VRR too, and Panasonic tells us that 4K resolution VRR will be announced at some point down the line. Game Mode Extreme is Panasonic's take on gamer-friendly features, such as lag reduction and removal of screen tearing (through AMD FreeSync Premium). However, it also adds support for a number of gamer-centric features such as VRR, low latency, and HDMI 2.1 – meaning you’ll be able to make use of a next-gen gaming console, like the PS5 or Xbox Series X, with any display that has an HCX Pro AI processor. ![]() This was introduced largely to add an AI picture mode that auto-calibrates the TV’s settings depending on what’s being shown on the screen. The main change over previous years is the new HCX Pro AI processor. You're making do with a 60Hz panel, and won't be getting HDMI 2.1 ports for those keen on next-gen gaming, but the average television user shouldn't be let down either. Panasonic JX800 (40, 50, 58, 65-inch): Last year's HX800 was an incredible television, offering great mid-spec performance and broad HDR format support at a reasonable price, and we expect the JX800 to do the same. Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG are all supported though. ![]() It's an LCD set, and the cheapest in this range to feature Dolby Atmos audio, though you won't get Game Mode Extreme or any HDMI 2.1 ports. Panasonic JX850 (40, 50, 58, 65-inch): We don't have much specific information on the JX850, but it'll sit below the JX940 and above the JX800. It's the only TV in this guide to come in a 75-inch size, making it the best choice for a big screen too. It comes with a 120Hz panel for smooth motion, and wide viewing angles for gatherings of family and friends. Panasonic JX940 (49, 55, 65, 75-inch): This top-tier LCD is aimed at sports fans in particular, as well as gamers, with the same advanced HCX Pro AI processor as the OLED models above and Game Mode Extreme for low input lag and VRR support. The two main sacrifices will be the swivel stand, and a slightly more basic motion processing system, though it will bring the price more in line with other mid-spec OLED TVs. The JZ980 won't have a custom OLED panel, but you're still getting the deep black and bright highlights of an OLED TV, along with Dolby Atmos audio. Panasonic JZ980 (48, 55, 65-inch): The 980 series was first introduced in 2020, though it clearly was successful enough to warrant a successor. But the extensive format support, custom OLED panel, and gamer-centric features such as low input lag are all thrown in. You'll be making do with around 30W of Dolby Atmos audio instead of 80W (or 125W, in the case of the flagship JZ2000). Panasonic JZ1000 (48, 55, 65-inch): The JZ1000 is effectively the same as the HZ1500 in all specifications except the audio. You can expect around 80W of Dolby Atmos audio, based off last year's HZ1500, as well as two HDMI 2.1 ports and VRR. ![]() You won't get side-firing audio, but features such as Dolby Vision IQ, Intelligent Sensing, and a swivel stand are all on show here. Panasonic JZ1500 (48, 55, 65-inch): The JZ1500 is a step-down OLED TV, though one that still makes use of the custom 'Master HDR OLED' panel usually reserved for Panasonic's flagship. ![]()
