professional standard of zero compromise,” Sowa states of the new OLED.
“My world of visual storytelling is based around colour accuracy and the need for a display that compliments the creative vision. Panasonic has engineered their newest 4K Pro OLED TV to a standard that I would only expect in professional displays.”
Panasonic states the TX-65CZ950, which also supports high dynamic range technology, is the first ever THX-certified 4K OLED.
– Nubo
Panasonic has also used IFA to announce the launch of its Nubo mobile monitoring cam – which employs 4G LTE, 3G or 2G mobile connectivity – into the consumer market.
The Nubo is designed to make monitoring possible in places that don’t have Wi-Fi connectivity, such as in a tent or on a moored boat.
