Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. 00:00 - Start 00:15 - Let's dive in... 01:37 - First impressions of the Panasonic Z95B - Design and engineering 03:40 - Testing and Measurements 07:07 - Picture Performance 08:22 - Sound Quality 10:14 - Side-by-side comparisons vs. Panasonic Z95A, LG G5, Samsung S95F and BRAVIA 8ii 14:10 - Conclusion The Panasonic Z95B is an excellent all-in-one TV, delivering accurate SDR and HDR image quality. Its cinematic performance is highlighted by stunning dynamic range, precise colour reproduction, and striking HDR specular details, making it an ideal choice for consumers seeking a high-end viewing experience. While not without flaws, the Z95B's picture quality is very nearly perfect. It exhibits some minor Dolby Vision issues, specifically posterisation and gradational problems at low-level brightness, particularly when transitioning from black. These issues are similar to those seen on the LG G5, which uses the same Primary RGB Tandem Panel, though significantly less severe than the G5's initial state before its fix. Notably, HDR10 and HLG content are unaffected and achieve reference quality. This observation has been reported to Panasonic, with the hope for a future firmware fix. While many enthusiasts will have their external sound systems to use with the Z95B, for a wider audience looking for an all-in-one solution for excellent high-end image quality and sound, the new look design also incorporates a new audio layout for a full Dolby Atmos immersive experience tuned by Technics. The new speaker layout is the result of the incorporation of the proprietary Thermalflow panel cooling that allows the set to achieve its stunning HDR image quality. The Panasonic Z95B marks a significant return to excellence for the Japanese TV engineering team. It delivers stunning out-of-the-box accuracy for both SDR and HDR content, complemented by impressive built-in audio. With UK-specific features like Freely and comprehensive terrestrial catch-up services, alongside a sleek new design, the Z95B is a strong contender for TV of the year, and for home cinema use, it's the Best in Class.
