(If you’re vacuuming while watching TV, though, you’ll want to have a word with yourself.) Active Voice Amplifier enhances characters’ voices depending on the background noise in your room, so you can hear what they’re saying even over the noise of the vacuum. The former adjusts the sound output depending on what you’re watching, so goings-on inside a stadium will sound very different to those in a car, say. It also features Adaptive Sound and Active Voice Amplifier. The result? A more immersive audio (and visual) experience, and all without the need for a pricey soundbar.īut that’s not the only audio trick up this telly’s sleeve. This allows the sound to follow the action on-screen, so as a helicopter flies overhead you’ll hear the audio’s spatial diffraction change dynamically. The idea is that each speaker responds as the audio moves, just as pixels in the screen do as the image changes. The technology is called Object Tracking Sound.

Samsung has built eight speakers into the TV at different points, and rather than this being a pure numbers game, it’s made them all work together intelligently to follow the audio around the screen. But Samsung has done things a little differently with the Q90T/Q95T. Some TVs shout about how loud their speakers go, or how many they have. It’s a shame about the high price – as ever, though, you get what you pay for. Indeed, in our five-star review, we praised the HZ2000’s “genuinely immersive sound performance out of the box”, singling out the height and width of its soundstage as particularly deserving of mention.Ĭombined with Dolby Atmos audio tech, it makes for a truly immersive listening experience, and one of the best audio performances of any TV yet. The 140W configuration is identical to last year’s Panasonic GZ2000, apart from the Technics tuning. Also onboard are front-firing upwards speakers to direct the sound more towards the viewer, rather than aimlessly spaffing it into the air.

The built-in 360 Soundscape Pro sound system is tuned by Technics, providing Hi-Fi quality sound for all your films, games, TV shows and music content. Panasonic owns the Technics audio brand (every DJ’s favourite), and it’s put that know-how to good use on this set.
