At the heart of the close relationship Panasonic has with the film industry is the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL). Setup more than 20 years ago to forge closer ties with movie industry creatives, the PHL has worked with professionals from every part of the movie world to gain a better understanding of what goes into creating a film or high-end TV show, and what the people making those shows want from a video display.

This knowledge has filtered directly into Panasonic professional display and television.The brand’s latest televisions use so many of the premium technologies once reserved for professional monitors that they’re erasing the difference between the creation and playback ends of the film-making journey.

Since 2017 Panasonic has been working closely with Hollywood giant Deluxe, to ensure that the technical accuracy of their award winning OLED TVs match the filmmakers’ creative intent. So Panasonic OLED TVs are a common site in studios. Top colourists,image scientists and engineers at Deluxe’s Company 3, EFILM, and Encore post-production companies worked with Panasonic to tune and test the 4K Pro FZ952 and FZ802 OLED TVs. Deluxe now use Panasonic OLED TVs to sign-off their work with the directors and movie company execs.

Enter a new world of picture & sound quality with Panasonic’s Ultra HD Blu-ray Players.

To make sure you get the very best from its 4K TVs, Panasonic has a full range of high quality 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray players for 2018. Every player in this range features the same core Ultra HD Premium certified picture quality engine that earned the flagship acclaimed DMP-UB900 rave reviews on release.

The new generation of Ultra HD Blu-ray disc media doesn’t just give you the resolution you need to unlock the full power of your 4K TV. It also uses High Dynamic Range (HDR) to present pictures that have a greater brightness range, more contrast and a wider colour response. This means images look much more like they would have done in a cinema, and much more accurate to the director’s original intention.

If you’re considering a new 4K Ultra HD TV you’ll want to make sure that it can deliver the best possible picture. You'll see previously hidden detail in dark scenes and subtle shades in metal objects. You can do this with a UHD Blu-ray player. They’ll play & upscale your existing Blu-ray & DVD collections - but they’ll really come alive when you put an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc in. You’ll get a picture better than any other source, as it’s less compressed than streamed content & not dependent on a stable fast broadband connection. More films are being released in this format every week.
