Panasonic Z95A OLED TV Review | This TV Has Something Special

[@MithunOnTheNet]

Good to see Panasonic back in the US market with a stellar OLED TV!

[@arungupta9140]

Time for them to come back to Canada!

[@umano.teodori]

Always loved Panasonic, my dad still has a plasma from probably more than 20 years ago, with little to none image retention. But yeah I am happy to see that ease of use, good sound, balanced and beautiful image quality (in the sense of accuracy and fidelity) are still paramount for Panasonic

[@baronnedeneuve]

You're absolutely right! I bought the Z95A last month (I has a Panasonic plasma from 2006 and it's still great!) and I do not regret my purchase, this OLED Panasonic is awesome! (sound & image)

[@jayallen7368]

Good to know i had my panasonic plasma and ended up with a sony 0led love it but trust panasonic more the plasma still works after 10 yrs

[@ranman3371]

Caleb, being in the market for a new 65" TV I spent a lot of time pre-Black Friday/Cyber Monday researching various brands and models. Having come across Digital Trends videos (along with some other reviewers) I was intrigued by your comments about the Panasonic Z95A made in your best TV's of 2024 video. One of the features that is important to me is the built-in sound bar. I watched your "unboxing" video of this model, and I was happy to hear your comments about the sound system. I was waiting for your full review of this TV but was concerned that Amazon's "Limited Deal" might pass me by. So, I pulled the trigger. The TV has arrived however, I have not yet been able to set it up due to some remodeling. Based on your new review I am chomping at the bit to get it set up and fingers crossed that I will be as happy with it as you are!

[@ghenry910]

Thank you Caleb for this review. I'm from Scandinavia got this tv yesterday and I love my Panasonic Z95 65" soo much. I also don't like the Fire TV, so I don't use it. I use my 4k apple tv. I follow your steps in this video to set it up, so now I am on Fire....( you get it Caleb) hehe.

[@rufdymond]

I felt exactly the same way when I auditioned the Panasonic OLED that I have - I viewed it against a Sony A95K. Yes the Sony was better in some respects and the Panasonic was better in others. However there was just something about the way Panasonic processes their picture that kept me coming back…….can’t put it into words, but I just preferred the picture. Oh, and I’m happy that I got the last Panasonic OLED with their custom home-screen software instead of Fire TV.

[@virtualpilgrim8645]

Be sure to take the same meds when watching one TV and then the other, otherwise your perception will take on a different perspective leading you to believe that the differences in the TVs are external to you.

Thanks!

[@shiladitya_biswas]

For those who dont know, Panasonic makes oled TVs that are actually used in hollywood color grading suites that grades movies like Top Gun: Maverick.(Some of them, especially netflix also uses panels like LG C1/C2 with custom Calman calibration too) Like the model GZ 2000, they are used by professional colorists in Hollywood studios like company 3, as a reference client monitor. So no wonder why they have such granualr level color tweaking capabilities and already out of the box color accuracy.

[@Marc.Google]

As does Sony.

I love your enthusiasm for TVs.

[@SturmAH]

Amazing review! :D For any gamer out there, the Panasonic can make any picture profile into “game mode” so with basically a few clicks on the remote you can have “Film Maker” mode accuracy on your games and no need to calibrate a dedicated game profile from scratch.

[@MrTunney3]

Panasonic 👍 beautiful picture great review 👍

[@LeezahB]

I can’t put my finger on it. There is just something special about this TV review! So delightful and approachable!! 😀

[@DayoAworunse]

If money isn't a concern, get the Sony A95L. If you want Sony-esque picture quality but not a proper sound system, get the Z95A If you have your own audio system and still want amazing picture quality, get the LG G4.

[@aleksanderaleksandrov168]

I've been waiting for this review,and I hoped there would be a more deep focus on the sound system,how does it work,does the atmos feel ok,are the side firing speakers doing their job,this TV's sound can be calibrated to fit a specific room or space,and you didn't mention,that you can connect a subwoofer to the TV and make things almost perfect. So if possible a little more info and test of the sound 🙂

[@pixel2224]

A brilliant TV package, the sound is awesome. I have taken to another level by adding a REL wired subwoofer. Thanks for all your insightful reviews and comments.

[@curtis311]

@2:53 I immediately ended the video to update all of my FireTV devices to change those settings! SHEESH! I def came back to finish the video though. Thanks Caleb and team!

[@HeraBros07]

I love your videos. Quick recommendation, during your Nit-Nerd section, can you during editing highlight/circle the actual numbers you're referring to as there is a bunch of numbers on those screen shots just to draw the eyes to exactly what you're talking about as the video plays. As you can tell I DON'T skip that section of the video 😊. Numbers matter, as any nerd 🤓 can tell you. Thank you.

[@krisshimmin4294]

Great review.... I have tied myself in knots over the last 2 weeks deciding on a new 65" OLED. I have been a Panasonic advocate for the last 10 years and was set on the Z95A until reading and watching so many reviews praising the LG G4. Yesterday I took the plunge and ordered the G4 but after watching this latest review im questioning if I've made the wrong decision. The LG was £400 cheaper than the Panasonic which was one of the main factors I chose the LG.

[@zr1cvette]

You’re getting a way better OS with the G4 and also LG has sound options which will make setup easy. I don’t think Panasonic makes its own sound yet. As far as Soundbar setups and stuff.

[@johnmartin7158]

I own this TV. The sound is 2nd to none. It has 7 speakers. No sound bar necessary. A fantastic TV for watching sport. This TV is easily in the top 3 if not the top 2. Some reviewers have even gone as far to rate it number 1. Cheers.

[@toejo78]

I have this TV too it’s amazing, the only complaint is the weird faint smell from the top speakers lol, smells like a small dog has pooed in it. I hope this goes away over time lol

[@johnmartin7158]

@ I got mine in NZ for a song. It was already rock real bottom price due to sales. And then I played hard ball and I said to Harvey Norman’s to take another 600 smackaroos off and to my shock they agreed, lol. So I say to anyone bargain and bargain hard and you never know. Got my 55ins for 3k kiwi dollars about 2 months ago. I’ll check for that smell as well to see if I have it above the speaker.

Great review Caleb! Its good to have Panasonic back in the US.

[@Uncle_Titus]

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

It's special, but not special enough to warrant the price in Europe. You can buy two S90Ds for the price of one z95A, an LG G4 is about 500 EUR less, as is the S95D, even the A95L is cheaper (prices are for Bulgaria)

[@Caleb_Denison]

Wow! That is … whacky. Had no idea.

[@insertnamehere4419]

Hahahahaha, it's like they don't want to actually sell them. Let them rot in obscurity then. Screw these companies.

[@terrym540]

Here in the UK the price of the 65" Z95A is £2799 compared to the LG G4: £2499 Samsung S95D: £2399 (before £200 cashback) Sony A95L: £2699 There must be a price premium for the Z95A's comprehensive audio system.

Reminds me of my old Pioneer Elite ( Panasonic panel) those blacks were just better than the competition....for many years!

[@johnhender]

I am still using a Pioneer Elite Kuro - I love that panel

[@mikebour454]

My Panasonic ZT60 plasma was built by Pioneer Kuro engineers. It's still a great tv.

[@peterfreeman3317]

Panasonic never had Pioneer panels. They each made their own. They were going into a joint venture but the financial markets blew up in ‘08. Panasonic bailed on building a new plant and soon Pioneer was gone from the TV market.

[@cp070476]

Pioneer's Kuro concept was Star Trek of it's time. It had near OLED blacks and was only 9mm thick back in 2009... 10th Gen we never got to see. The video is on youtube! look it up.

[@peterfreeman3317]

[@sdelgeorge7700]

Considering how uniquely good the audio is on this TV, maybe should have also mentioned the TV includes a sub out port (shared with headphone jack). Would like to know if there are any settings to help dial in a sub, set the crossover, etc.

[@joeferguson3820]

This TV with the built in sound bar at the bottom and where the power light indicators are gives an old nastalgia feel and optics to the old Panasonic plasma TVs. I think Panasonic took pride in the aesthetics of this TV for the US market. It instantly takes you back in time.

[@michaelgrant3619]

I've used lots of your advice, you seem knowledgeable and trustworthy somehow. Anyway, thank you.

[@joes3800]

Wow, thanks Caleb! Panasonic coming back is awesome: last one I owned was one of the last plasma models. Now here's my ask from all TV manufacturers: some cost is devoted to improving built-in sound, like the Z95A. That's understandably great for a lot of people, i.e. those that don't have soundbars or HTs. But wouldn't it be great for those of us who already have soundbars and HTs if there was an option -- maybe just for the flagship model, or for certain models -- that has bare-bones speaker(s),or perhaps no speakers, at a reduced price? Such model options would be cheaper, lighter, and less wasteful since we already have external soeakers and we'll never use the TV speakers. (I've mentioned this before, and the feedback I've received usually centers on it not being cost-effective for manufacturers to have to build and offer yet another model. But I contend that you don't know until you try; manufacturers might be surprised at how popular "no-sound" or "strictly-monitor" models might be and how well they might sell, especially if it turns out that such models could be offered for $100s or perhaps even a $1000 less than their counterpart model with the exact same PQ and video features... and maybe also a thinner or otherwise smaller profile and/or at a lighter weight.)

[@stepheng8779]

Some may find this interesting, I did, as to why certain TVs sell more than others when reviews would suggest the results should be different. 4 of us went into a large shop this week & whilst there I said to the others ignore brand, price, just pick your favourite TV. I like to think I know what I'm looking for, the others just know what they like, all 4 of us chose the Samsung S90. Now I know it's the way the store had the TVs set up, the A95L looked particularly awful but it shows why they shift a load of that particular model over others on view.

[@sdelgeorge7700]

Maybe I missed it but did you mention it's also one of the few TV's to play both DolbyVision and HDR10+ ?

Thanks for your review. With it's side, and upward firing speakers the sound system is so much more than the soundbar to which you refer. Is my understanding correct that the TV can perform a room calibration on it's audio system?

[@denvera1g1]

5:30 Keep in mind that if your devices support CEC, and you turn on the device before the TV the TV will eventually switch to that device(generally) i have a shield and an Xbox, and after switching to 'last input' it now no longer takes 15 seconds to switch from the fireTV home page that tells me i need to connect to a network. Thank you by the way, and my mom thanks you, she doesnt like to wait for it to switch either.

[@scottivlow9962]

Caleb Hisense has eARC problems too. The eARC won't just turn to Auto every single time time and stay on Auto. If you turn off CEC you screwed yourself big time. You can't just turn it back on. You have to do a restart. I get notifications invite TV that says CEC must be turned on and when it is the eARC will say that it isn't because you turned it off. They have huge software issue recognizing eARC. I do make sure that HDMI cable is good and it works and checking the Port connection because a very slight bump could cause the cable to disconnect from eARC. Since Hisense uses the same software on every TV I can't be the only one that has a different brand sound bar and looses the HDMI handshake connection. When the sound bar is turned off for most of the day. It tells me the subwoofer not found when both devices get tuned on. Then for me to manually make that reconnection. Which is like doing a reboot start.

[@cp070476]

I love seeing these reviews rave about the LG G4 and Panasonic! It's forcing Sony to drop the price of the A95L. Seriously looking at the 77in model. Reference display all day long.

Both are punchy and dynamic with good overall fidelity -- but if I have to pick a winner, it's the Z95A for me. -- Caleb

Caleb's advice from previous videos is: if your TV is >4-5 years old and was not the absolute top of the line, then just about any modern TV you buy, you will be extremely happy with. He has also said, if you want the "BEST" (eyeroll) 77 inch or under TV for a bright room then buy the Samsung S95D. But.... they're all fantastic so go with the brand that you like the best or the TV that impresses you most in the store - go Hisense or TCL if you care about price/value, go Samsung for color and reflection handling, go LG for gaming and picture quality, go Sony for motion/upscaling and build quality admittedly at a higher price, go Panasonic if you have owned one of their plasmas and love their way of doing things (I still have nostalgia for my Panasonic plasma).

[@fantasprite916]

Ich weiß nicht ob wir das gleiche Flackern meinen aber das ist eindeutig nicht normal und ist ein Problem welches Panasonic nicht in den Griff bekommt. Ich habe den LZW 2004 und dieser hat gerade in Dolby Vision Helligkeitsflackern. Er leuchtet für ein paar Millisekunden heller auf und reguliert sich dann wieder zurück. Es ist extrem nervend und darf einfach nicht sein. Zusätzlich habe ich manchmal oberhalb im Bildschirm einen horizontalen Streifen der aufflackert. Wie gesagt es ist bei Dolby Vision aber auch bei SDR Kontent. Wenn es über die Apps wie Netflix, Prime etc läuft beim Zocken auf der PS5 habe ich keine Probleme. Einer von euch meinte es ist selten, sorry das ich es so sage aber bei mir war es am Anfang auch selten und trat mit der Zeit immer häufiger auf. Ich hoffe das es bei dir nicht so ablaufen wird. LG hat auch solche Probleme. Der Sony A95L scheint wirklich sehr gut zu sein und nicht solche Probleme zu haben. Es ist einfach traurig das es kein Review gibt die auf solche Probleme hinweisen. Motion smoothing ausstellen hat nix gebracht. Ich habe noch eine Sonos Arc am Fernseher angeschlossen aber ich denke daran liegt es nicht. Wie äußert sich das Flackern bei euch?

[@clemdye2996]

It’s all well and good having a decent integrated audio system, but a lack of support for any DTS codecs makes it a total non-starter if you have any physical media that you want to watch. Totally braindead. But there’s more: Panasonic makes 3 4K blu-ray players that offer full support for the DTS codecs, so anyone wanting to enjoy a totally integrated Panasonic solution is out of luck. An external soundbar with HDMI inputs will be needed. At this price point that’s not acceptable. Panasonic is doing a Samsung here. Pathetic.

[@patrickmiller4987]

Who needs DTS/Atmos thru tv speakers? Silliness, get proper speakers!

[@clemdye2996]

@ I agree, but Panasonic has included a sound system that many will view as an alternative to a sound bar or external a/v system. As such, it’s not unreasonable to expect to perform like one, especially if a sub is added, which mandates DTS codec support to my mind. I stand by my original comments. Panasonic is treating its (would be) customers with contempt. Inexcusable.

you seem to completely forget the whole amazon firestick thing when choosing this over the G4. That is something you'd potentially have to interact with every time you use the TV, unless you purchase a separate box entirely, completely bypassing all the Smart TV features... That alone is enough to rank it far below the Sony and LG.

My wife has 55" bush with Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos built in it's for the bedroom even I have turned to either my left or right hand side has if there is sound there it's very good but not as good as my Samsung 5.1.4 sound bar system but the TV for bedroom does it's job

I wish Amazon TV had a feature to “dumb” it down like the Google TV platform. Great review Caleb! Is it really worth the ≈ $700 savings over the Sony? Whoever can afford these TVs, $700 is not a deal breaker

Fire tv is ok but I like something with airplay as an a option

What's the best Gaming TV going into 2025? LG G5?

My first flat panel display was a Panasonic plasma in 2011 and it was the most amazing TV that I had ever seen. Unfortunately, it burned out (Stopped Working) by 2015 and plasma no longer existed. So I ended up buying a Samsung LCD and was instantly disappointed, especially with the off-axis viewing. However, the Samsung TV is still going after all of these years. I'm hesitant to buy a new TV because I'm one of the very few people who actually enjoy 3D movies and obviously 3D TVs no longer exist. I actually feel a little frustrated that 3D came out as early as it did. I think if it came out a few years later, it would have been integrated into the 4K spec which would have helped make it a better experience. But maybe not because 4K movies don't sell very well. There is actually a large number of people that just buy standard SD DVD discs. So maybe 3D TVs would have become obsolete no matter what. I guess after this TV stops working, my only opportunity to watch 3D movies would be through the Apple Vision Pro? Oh well.

Maybe TV manufacturers should consider allowing users to download/purchase separately their own preferred TV OS software

[@GinandTronics]

Isn't that like adding a stick. And getting it to auto power on too that

[@msd5808]

@@GinandTronics yes, except it seems like you shouldn't have to buy extra hardware that sticks into a USB port

[@frommatorav1]

@@msd5808 The streaming sticks are like $20-$140 from ONN to AppleTV, which is minor when buying a TV over $1000. You have the option to choose whatever one you want and don't have to rely on the TV manufacturer to implement the software correctly.

if you have ever used fire tv OS connection support with 1, 2 or 2 + 1 sub echo speakers as a wireless home theater sound system you are missing one of the big differentiators between it and google tv, tizen web os and apple tv. i have a new mini-led with google tv and what is considered one of the best built in sound systems and a pair of wireless echo speakers driven by firetv OS is much better sound solution.
