The result is cinema-grade visuals and perfect blacks that immerse the viewer like never before. Multiple screen sizes, from 13 to 42 inches High dynamic range (HDR) for the best possible image quality All-screen design to maximize the display area 360° spatial audio with moving surround sound High-fidelity sound combined with spatial audio takes immersion to a personal level previously unheard of. It’s the perfect complement to high-quality 4K visuals. Turning standard definition into HD with Panasonic's upscaling algorithm Panasonic's new Astrova IFE system has the capacity to transform any video content to 4K quality — the highest resolution currently available in commercial seatback monitors; transforming 480p, 720p, and 1080p to 4K with little to no discernible impact to picture quality. Because a 4K TV has four times as many pixels on the screen as a 2K 1080p TV, it analyzes the incoming signal and 'fills in the blanks' for non-4K content. Panasonic Avionics created the all-new peripheral bar The peripheral bar is a removable, elegant, plug-and-play solution that allows airlines to introduce new power outlets, audio jacks, function buttons, and wireless features like Bluetooth without having to remove the entire seatback screen. It's a key feature of Astrova, Panasonic's newest modular in-flight entertainment system. Satisfy tech-savvy passengers Right now, Astrova's default peripheral bar comes with two USB-C power outlets, offering up to 100W of power — enough to fast-charge a laptop from zero to 85% within an hour. It also features Bluetooth and spatial 3D audio to the seatback system. Unmatched picture quality Create a premium home theater experience with a 4K OLED display and its all-screen design which maximizes the viewing area with ultra-sim bezels on the capacitive multitouch touchscreen monitor. Effectively eliminate the need for AC power Allow passenger to fast-charge all devices including laptops with up to 100W USB-C charging at every seat. Go from 0 to 50% battery in around 30 minutes and to 85% in about an hour. thoughts and impressions, flight review, Icelandair economy review, aviation news, flight tech, travel tech, walkthrough, UI, movie, TV show, games, inflight experience, 4K HDR OLED TV, WI-Fi, Starlux airlines, smart display, portable monitor, TV, new tech, economy class review, business class, not first class, travel vlog, flight map, new plane, updated plane, cabin, solo travel, experience, train, flight simulator, redesign
