Panasonic не стала экспериментировать с гнущимися и изогнутыми экранами, но, как и остальные А-бренды, анонсировала на выставке CES 2014 свою топовую линейку телевизоров с разрешением 4K Ultra HD (3840×2160). Она получила название Life+ Screen AX800 Series и в нее войдут две модели: 65-дюймовая TC-65AX800U и 58-дюймовая TC-58AX800U.
Само собой, производитель обещает, помимо максимальной функциональности и непревзойденного дизайна еще и отличную картинку. Технологии Studio Master Color должна обеспечить максимально точную цветопередачу и покрывать 98% стандартов DCI. А, реализована система локального затемнения Local Dimming Pro. Процессор 4K Fine Remaster Engine способен увеличивать (апскейлить) разрешение изображения до Ultra HD.
Был полностью обновлен интерфейс, персонализированное меню, теперь называется «Life+ Screen». Помимо уже привычных функций типа погоды, онлайн сервисов, распознавания лиц камерой и голосового управления, появилась система рекомендаций, которая анализирует предпочтения и в My Stream отображает то, что будет интересно зрителю. Телевизоры оснащены HDMI 2.0 и DisplayPort 1.2a и совместимы с HDCP 2.2 и H.265 (HEVC). Младшая, 58-дюймовая модель уже доступна для предзаказа в официальном онлайн-магазине за $4500 (36900 грн / 147200 руб).

A proximity sensor coupled with Face Recognition via the AX800’s built-in camera work together to instantly and automatically display handy information such as weather forecasts, message notifications and a clock.
- Voice Assistant lets the user easily search for their favorite content in a natural, conversational way.
- my Home Cloud makes it possible to download a wide variety of content and apps, home screen templates, and to gain access to places for purchasing accessories via Panasonic’s proprietary Cloud Technology.
