THE KING IS BACK 👑👑👑👑👑

[@kev3226]

I am only interested in QD-OLED. Hopefully Panasonic will offer a model with it in the future.

[@michael-4k4000]

Yeah, im not sure about that. I have a Sony A95L, and LG C2 and C9. All of them are awesome and as I type this now watching Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind on my LG C9 (which has moved to our basement). Watching on my LG C9 I don't feel like I'm missing any brightness or color. Is the A95A technically a better tv, YES, but that doesnt mean you wont enjoy and not feel FOMO from watching on any older OLED. All OLED is good OLED.

[@ThatGuyTechs]

Just wanted to say I’m a big fan of both your content.

[@WilliamSmith-hf8um]

LFG! Panny is the only one that can dethrone Sony

[@gabrielpanola]

I'm still rocking my 2013 ST60 panasonic plasma!!!! It still looks great!!!! Glad to see them back!!!!!!

[@mikebour454]

Likewise with my ZT60

[@MechaGodzilla]

FOMO, will you be testing the W95A? There are two things I'm especially curious about: 1) how effective local dimming is in game mode, and 2) what the PWM flicker rate is, and if it varies between different picture modes.

[@kommandantklink5032]

Back in the plasma days it came down to Panasonic or Samsung for me. I was sad when Panasonic left the US market. Sony has been my recent tv brand of choice because they have had the best processing and out of the box picture without have to mess with changing a lot of settings. Panasonic TV's have this same type of reputation so I am so glad they are back in the game in the US and it's going to make my future buying decision very interesting. I am glad to hear you are going to start doing your tv reviews by no longer calibrating the TV's. Most people are not getting there TV's calibrated so reviews should be more meaningful for most consumers in my opinion.

[@halodave]

Yes but the people watching these types of videos likely are calibrating I think? I also have a Panasonic from 2012 so I'm die for an upgrade but man this thing is a beast and only 1080p

[@kommandantklink5032]

@@halodave Not sure about that especially as Fomo's channel as grown? The people I know watching Fomo's videos are not calibrating there TV's but that is just my circle of friends. With so many TV's to pick from they are looking for a starting point and for Fomo to narrow the field down and depending on their use case it could narrow down their choice further? Fomo's buying guide comes in very handy for them. That is why they watch his videos then they go out and look at the actual TV's they are interested in based on Fomo's recommendations. Most probably spend anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 on a TV (maybe up to $2,500) so they are what I call Mid-Tier buyers. They don't see big differences in picture quality between Mid-Tier & Top Tier and even if they do they see a big price difference which knocks them out of the top tier game anyway. Again this is just the circle of people I know. Some people ask me what good TV can I get for $500. I just laugh.

[@markludwiczak1126]

I’m so surprised and thrilled by this news. I’m still rocking my ZT65 and have been putting off buying an OLED cause motion/stutter issues are my biggest pet peeve. I’m so happy Panasonic is back in the game and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on how they handle stutter/judder/motion with these!

[@baracudasmile]

Own 2023 48 MZ1800 Panasonic for a bedroom TV. Stand is Japan award winning center pivot that can be rotated a bit and tilted a bit, but suction cups the table top, as in Japan is at risk for heavy earthquakes. I have this TV mounted on a dresser and it is solid.

[@neiltaylor6645]

Going to give Sony a run for it’s money

[@TheCaballo777]

Their TV would be perfect if they went with QD-OLED instead of WOLED. Otherwise the A95L still reigns supreme.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Not happening until Panasonic starts using QD-OLED.

[@markfurchtenicht8274]

Only on price and that's it

[@paulcox2447]

Sony's having a hard time staying in the TV business Panasonic's having an even harder time. Between the two of them they're what maybe 7% of TV sales worldwide? 10% tops

[@whiskizyo2067]

@@TheCaballo777 yeah because the reddish greyish tint of a QD screen with the quantum dots activated by ambient light, as well as lower more common white lighting and so fullscreen brightness is so much better than WOLED just because colour range is a bit better - in some scenes...

[@ethanwetzel7]

Columbo, the gold standard in SDR testing

[@SEAGOONS1]

Wow at those prices they are significantly cheaper than in the United Kingdom where the Z96A is the equivalent of $5,5136. Glad to see Panasonic back in the US market but does make it feels like we are being squeezed on Pricing in Europe

[@Dark7Tidez]

Hi Fomo, I am happy to see Panasonic tvs back in the U.S. market. I watched Brian’s video interview with the Panasonic rep and it was pretty exciting. I see a lot of comments about qd oled. I’ve been watching your channel and others for a while now. From everything I know and have seen I think qd oled vs w oled is not any kind of a game changer for me. There are things to me that are far more important than what type of oled tech it is. I don’t have to go any further to prove this than the very fact that your buddy Brian has a Sony w oled sitting in his house instead of qd oled. You have stated many times that the G4 is your pick this year. The tvs of today are so good that any of the mid to upper tier would not be disappointing. I think processing, build quality and size are far more important. I will say I would only buy an oled though. I know that there are great mini leds but to me oled in general is king. I do want 83” or bigger though. When I sit in my room and watch my 83” w oled I am very satisfied. I would never know any different unless I had another model sitting in that room right beside it. In the near future I will definitely be looking for an upgrade and Panasonic will be one I look at. What I have heard about their dark scene picture quality has me seriously interested. It is the one drawback of my LG. Well, I could say more but there’s my 2 cents. Thanks for all the latest in this tech market, I really get a lot out of you and Brian’s videos. One last thing, I would like to upgrade my q990c sound bar. I have really leaned towards a Nachimichi Dragon for some time but I hear really good things about the bravia quad theater system also. Money is no obstacle, what would you advise?

[@robmartinez5653]

Very excited for the return of Panasonic here in the states. But I'm confused why they chose W-OLED MLA vs QD-OLED. MLA gets bright, thats great, but colors on QD-OLED are next level

[@mexdrago3009]

qd is better, and the colors are better for sdr content, but when watching 4k hdr ci content, they all have accurate colors. Now, if you increase color saturation even on qled, you will get red skin tones. If the panasonic 5:5 pull-down judder truly is judder less, then it's a game changer.

[@michael-4k4000]

Honestly, they are both great. Have a Sony A95L and a C2 and I love them both. Yes the colors are slightly brighter on the sony, but not one person in my family can tell the difference between the C2 and A95L, obviously I can, but no one else. So I don't agree that QD-OLED is that much better, I think I better way of stating it is that they are different. QD-OLED has brighter colors, and WB-OLED has brighter whites. Either way they still are both OLED. Comparing an oled tv to another oled tv is fine, they share about 95% of the same features.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

​@@michael-4k4000Better is still better. QD-OLED > W-OLED.

[@paulcox2447]

​@@michael-4k4000this is the internet where these people are comparing these TVs based on specs. "On paper" is all that matters to people who are living vicariously through influencers watching videos of TVs on their phone

[@antsgamingvideosn2b]

Very happy to see Panny TVs back in the U.S.!

[@mwj9080]

Good to hear Panasonic is coming back to the States. This is good for competition and innovation. I personally don't like Fire TV but I recently bought an ONN 4K Google TV box that's blazing fast so I may just use that.

[@unclepeg33]

Thank you. Been waiting for you do a Review Now Panasonic is Back in the USA 🇺🇸 Market. 👍

[@unclepeg33]

Allgood, Unfortunately the Z95 is over Double the Price of the USA in NZ 7.460.00 NZ Dollars at one Retailer

[@techlord5573]

Price is everything

[@ke3226]

Can you all test the panning motion on the Panasonic compared to the other oled?

[@Cmdaddy88]

Panasonic European TVs are assembled by TCL, this partnership makes me believe Panasonic will forgo QD-OLED for TCL's inkjet printed RGB OLEDs that are meant to go into production late this year.

[@shadowbotz4293]

They really should have went QD- OLED. Cool that Panasonic is back in the game though.

[@trumpetmusic5672]

What are the specs? I usually go to Rtings but I guess it's too early.

[@mexdrago3009]

Thanks FOMO! Am enjoying my Sony A95L on this cool September day. God bless everyone here! Like and Subscribe and tell a friend about FOMO's channel. FOMO will hit 200k subs this year! Just don't mention the Dragon or Andrew Robinson will flip out and blow a gasket.

[@DHJD-c8k]

How does the W95A miniLED compare with the Bravia 9? Was going to get an 85" B9 but need to see this Pana TV.

[@Kristian-uz8mq]

How is the sound quality on the Panasonic Z95A's built in speakers and subwoofer. I want more technical specs for the sound.

[@stopthefomo]

We don’t have the measuring equipment for sound specs like you’d find on Audio Science Review but I’ll give you my subjective impressions next week!

[@Kristian-uz8mq]

@@stopthefomo Thank you so much, I also wish to see all the sound settings in the menu. Many people who I saw a review on Panasonic TVs only show all the picture settings. Thank you

[@larryhoffman7471]

Are they coming to Canada?

[@RedSinter]

Does Costco have a TCl Q7 derivative?

[@RedSinter]

So, I would think that what niggling issue with Fire OS that Panasonic's expertise could trickle down as people run elbows.

[@lbnycity89]

I have a few questions: Does the Panasonic have all four HDMI 2.1 ports at 144 Hz with one earc? Is this a QDOLED like Sony and Samsung or is it a 0LED with MLA like LG? And I forgot if I heard this mentioned, is it true that it has Dolby vision and HDMI 10+?

[@stopthefomo]

2x 48gbps 144Hz HDMI ports for high performance gaming. Not QD-OLED but MLA wOLED (like G4). YES, both DV and 10+

[@ITWINGMAN]

Will be very interesting now that Sony no longer makes the 83" A90J and its current flag ship is the 77" A95L QD-OLED so hope to see in the Future a 83" QD-OLED and above from Sony and Panasonic will offer 83" and above W-OLED. But if things heat up between Sony and Panasonic, Sony and Panasonic could both start to produce W and QD OLED with their World Renowned Picture processing. Hopefully this will be a win-win for the manufacturer and the consumers and increase sales and drive down the cost and see a more affordable 97” and above OLED. This will only force the Chinese to produce bigger and bigger LED TV’s to compete. One then could have an OLED AND LED TV in the home. I have the SONY 83" A90J and 85” X900H so it's only worth buying a 97’ OLED and not worth buying the bigger LED until the 115” is affordable, But until all the SMOKE Settles I am just going to buy a Projector and turn my garage into a Living Room Home theater since it is 20”x20” and do a 150” to 200” Screen hopefully.

[@habsfan5750]

65" $3100

[@iamLegend0523]

I want a S95D but scared of the reviews of the new screen. if it will be in my man cave, mostly in a dark room will I be good? does it hold its own against the A95l? I'm deciding between the two

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Matte screens degrade the picture quality of OLED. Samsung doesn't even support Dolby Vision. LG and Sony don't support HDR10+. Panasonic supports all of them.

[@Ajax-322]

Why did they leave in the first place!?

Nah. Panasonic fucked up by only releasing a 65-inch flagship in the U.S. They don't deserve our hard-earned money just because they're back in the U.S. They must EARN our money.

[@MrUpscaleman]

@PSYCHOV3N0M lots of people buy 55 and 65 tvs. They sell WAY more of them than flagship 77 and especially 83 inch models. The lack of profit at the large size is why you won't see an 83 inch qd oled.
