Panasonic Z95B review: what the specs say
Panasonic's flagship 2026 OLED, built around class-leading built-in sound and a new Tandem panel. At $3,099, Panasonic's 2026 model sits at the premium end of the category — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 8.6/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Picture Quality at 9.4/10 — panel technology, contrast, and color accuracy. The weakest is Value at 6.9/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: 144Hz refresh — below the 165Hz offered by the LG/Samsung flagships; and fire TV platform has a smaller native app/settings footprint than webOS or Tizen. Every specification on this page comes from Panasonic's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
