XBOX SERIES X
While the previous generation of
consoles trailed behind TV tech,
the Xbox Series X and PS5 have
surged ahead of it, delivering
features such as 4 K at 120 Hz,
aggressive HDR and automatic
low latency mode switching that
only cutting-edge TVs can handle.
We’re highlighting the Series X,
though, becauseat the timeof
print, it’s the only console that can
handle variable refresh rates... but
we’re sure the PS5 isn’t far behind.

PANASONIC UB820
While most streaming services
now support 4K, HDR and even
Dolby Atmos sound, they still
can’t compete with a 4K Blu-ray.
Especially a 4 K Blu-ray played
on Panasonic’s UB820. With
its advanced picture features,
premium components and support
for both of the advanced Dolby
Vision and HDR10+ picture
formats, the UB 820 unlocks the
full potential of your TV better
than even the best stream.
