Panasonic Returns Nouvelles

Tvs,OLED,HDR

I've spent the past 25 years writing about the world of home entertainment technology--first at Home Cinema Choice magazine, where I became Deputy Editor, and for the past 20 years on a freelance basis.

Renowned Japanese brand Panasonic has announced today that it is returning with immediate effect to the US TV marketplace after a near decade-long absence. The brand has confirmed, too, that its return won’t be some half-hearted toe-dipping exercise; in fact it’s going to be giving US AV fans the opportunity to get their hands on its most premium OLED models - models deemed so good by the home entertainment world that they’re sometimes used as reference monitors in professional mastering suites.

What’s more, I suspect from the flurry of ‘if only they sold these in America’ responses I’ve got to any news story I’ve posted about Panasonic TVs in recent years that there really is some pent up demand for them among US home cinephiles. The Z85s lose the MLA technology and heat sink hardware of the Z95s, and revert to a significantly less powerful audio system. They keep the same new AI processor, though, as well as joining the 65Z95 in carrying the new Fire TV operating system and support over two HDMIs for advanced gaming features such as 4K/120Hz graphics playback and VRR - including both the Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium formats.

Their audio systems won’t be as powerful as the Z85s, and on the gaming side the W95s will lose support for Nvidia G-Sync. Though they do support 144Hz refresh rates while the Z85s do not. The W95 series also gives US AV fans their only way of buying a really big Panasonic screen given that Panasonic has currently not elected to bring to the US its biggest OLED TV in Europe, the 77-inch 77Z93.
