Stunning contrast, with deep blacks and lifelike colour means that it excels with all types of viewing.

Factor in enhanced sound and style, and this TV continues to impress in every respect.
Naturally OLED
Rather than using regular, LED TV technology, the Panasonic TV-42Z90AEB features superior OLED screen tech. With its individually illuminated cells, you get incredible contrast, with inky deep blacks and bright whites. Panasonic’s Wide Colour Spectrum further enhances colour definition, while the Smooth Motion Drive PRO panel delivers fluid motion.
HCX Pro AI Processor MK II gives you the truest colour
Powering Panasonic’s ultimate screen is their most powerful processor. The advanced HCX Pro AI Processor II uses a sensor to detect the ambient lighting condition and then adjusts the picture to suit. Each colour tone is adjusted individually, giving this Panasonic 42 inch OLED TV the highest ever colour accuracy.
The ideal picture setting for the content, with Auto AI
Panasonic’s smart Auto AI processor identifies the type of content you’re watching, such as movie, sports, music or news, and automatically optimises the picture and sound settings to suit. This gives you the very best in sound and vision, without having to make any user adjustments.
HDR10+ Adaptive and Dolby Vision IQ – ultimate detail in all lighting conditions
HDR10+ Adaptive and Dolby Vision IQ take HDR10 and Dolby Vision to the next level, making them the ultimate HDR picture processors. HDR10+ Adaptive and Dolby Vision IQ use light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without compromising the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is.
Multi-format HDR support for a stunning picture from all sources
As well as HDR10+ Adaptive and Dolby Vision IQ, this Panasonic 42” OLED TV also offers multi-format HDR, including HDR10+, HDR10, HLG and HLG Photo. With so much HDR processing ability on board, you’re guaranteed the most detailed and brightest picture, whatever the HDR format.
Filmmaker Mode – enhanced
Designed for movie lovers, Filmmaker Mode bypasses the TV’s own motion and picture processing settings and lets you see the image just as the director intended. Aspect ratio, colour and frame settings are all faithfully reproduced, giving you a truly cinematic viewing experience. Now featuring an upgraded colour temperature sensor, it detects lighting conditions more accurately, giving you the ideal image, whatever the ambient lighting.
Netflix, optimised
If you’re a fan of Netflix, you’ll love Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode. Netflix productions are made to the highest technical standards, ensuring they look just as good on the big screen as they do at home. With the Adaptive Calibrated Mode you get optimal picture quality, in all lighting conditions.
Epic gaming
Panasonic’s new Game Control Board lets you easily view settings and make changes on the fly. With their Game Mode Extreme setting, you also get epic responsiveness. Game Mode Extreme almost halves input lag, giving you incredible reaction times. With support for 144Hz, AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC, you also get the smoothest, tear-free motion, making gaming more lifelike than ever. Two gaming sound modes switch between RPG mode for a more cinematic sound experience and FPS mode for when you need to hear the subtle sound of an enemy sneaking up on you.
Dynamic Theatre Surround Pro and Dolby Atmos for enveloping sound
For a sound upgrade, the TV-42Z90AEB comes with Dynamic Theatre Surround Pro. The Dynamic system enhances the range for a more cinematic audio experience. Compatible with Dolby Atmos sound, this Panasonic TV also creates a more cinematic and enveloping soundstage.
