Panasonic teams up with Mozilla to produce a new range of 4K Firefox TVs. The panels also boast HDR support
 
There i a short clip of it running on this video looks 100% better than the current system.
 
Sounds like most of the TV manufacturers are partnering with OS/GUI specialists instead of trying to go it alone. It's probably about time. We need an "IBM" now to set a standard which corrals everyone into the same architecture.
 
I like the look of that. Firefox is well established. It knows a thing or too about this stuff. I will be looking into this ad more info comes out.
I hope there TV set are still THX certified!

I would imagine the CX800 range will be the THX model's and anything below not, i just hope they have fixed the poor light banding issues of the current range for the next.
 
Looks quite good. Hopefully they got rid of the 50 Hz bug and those pesky status LEDs and lowered the input lag. I wouldn't mind buying a UHD TV from Panasonic if they have done so.
 
Does anyone else just think "meh"?

The only thing I'm interested in is OLED, anything else is just dead to me.
 
The pictured set looks quite a lot like a recent mid-range Sony.
 
I like the design, although I agree it does look a lot like Sony's TVs.

They will come, just need to wait a little longer.
 
Am i the only person who wants a good quality tv to watch tv/movies on ???, all these latest gadgets for the internet etc are all tosh to me, i would rather them concentrate on a panel which just displays an excellent picture and nothing else, if i want the internet/youtube etc then i will go to my PC.
 
Totally agree with the above, I can access the internet on my laptop, my phone, my media player and my bd player.

I'd much rather they spent time and money making image improvements - a decent image quality out of the box would be a good start.

I can't remember the last time I bought a TV that had even an average picture on factory settings.

Seconded as above.
I Also agree, need to reduce lag on tvs as Sony has done. getting it down to 15ms is EPIC!!!
We also need more 4k content to display on them.

unfort i don't think they will.... They closed plasma which was 'cheaper' production wise than OLED .................
 
It's still LCD/LED so still poor viewing angles and poor black levels.

oled will come, cant say much more though as its all hush hush.
 
You were right. Panasonic to release their own OLED TV in autumn, see Panasonic unveil their UK TV plans for 2015 | AVForums

I've seen info from there pre show info for uk models, the CX range though look like htey have the annoying bar stand the AX currently have, unlike the USA models we've seen which imo is disappointing.

Not to sure I'm convinced on them being all VA either, better blacks is nice, but the one's they currently use have awful viewing angles and many people sit off center.
 
Panasonic’s 2015 line-up includes four 4K Ultra HD series (CX850, CX800, CX650, CX600) for a total of 9 models.

What do you make of this?
