Panasonic has just unveiled its new 2025 OLED TV collection with three distinct ranges: Z95B, Z90B and Z80B. Each demonstrates a significant technological evolution, with major advances in picture, sound and ergonomics. These models integrate Amazon’s Fire TV and offer premium features designed for movie fans and gamers alike. What does the Z95B flagship model have in store compared to the Z90B and Z80B ranges?
Panasonic Z95B: brightness, precision and total immersion
An even brighter RGB tandem panel
The Panasonic Z95B series benefits from a Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel with a four-layer emission structure (Tandem OLED LG Display). This improves luminous efficiency by 40% and broadens the color spectrum. The result: brighter, more realistic and nuanced images, even in very bright environments.
ThermalFlow: optimized cooling, preserved performance
Panasonic has completely redesigned the heat dissipation system of this new OLED TV range with ThermalFlow, a structure inspired by automotive aerodynamics. Air flow is channeled more efficiently, keeping the panel at a stable temperature. This thermal control makes it possible to achieve and maintain high brightness without compromising picture quality.
A new design for harmonious integration
The Panasonic Z95B range adopts a new aesthetic, designed to blend discreetly into any interior. The soundbar built into the front panel is covered with an acoustic fabric that also covers the sides and top of the unit, providing refined visual continuity. This textile finish helps to soften the TV’s presence in the living space. At the rear, the corners of the chassis are now rounded, softening visual breaks and reinforcing the uniformity of the design.
The TV rests on a pivoting central stand for easy positioning, while the shallow depth allows discreet wall mounting. Panasonic Z95B TVs combine audiovisual performance with discreet elegance.
A calibrated image for all content
In addition to the HCX Pro AI MK II processor, the Panasonic Z95B OLED series benefits from the Prime Video calibrated mode, Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive support, and ambient light sensors for dynamic image adjustment. CalMAN calibration tools, with ISFccc support and 3D LUT integration, enhance color accuracy, with precise grayscale and color management.
Scott Anderson of Portrait Displays, publishers of the CalMAN calibration software, explains:
“This latest milestone brings together Panasonic’s advanced display engineering and our state-of-the-art CalMAN calibration tools to deliver professional-quality color accuracy.”
Note that the Z95A, Z90A and Z85A ranges will also benefit from CalMAN Ready certification, via a future firmware update.
A gaming experience designed for high-performance
The Z95B TVs are highly suitable for discerning gamers. They support a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) compatibility, AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync, for optimum fluidity without image tearing. The True Game mode, designed to render games as the developers imagined them, adds to the advanced settings accessible via the Game Control Board. This dedicated dashboard lets you quickly adjust image parameters, activate or deactivate Tone Mapping and select specific sound profiles according to game genre. The very low input latency rounds off this configuration, ensuring immediate responsiveness to every action.
Soundscape Pro 360° audio system calibrated by Technics
The Soundscape Pro 360° system features a multidirectional 5.1.2-channel driver system (front, top, side) tuned by Technics. The presence of a 30-watt subwoofer, Sound Focus technology and Dolby Atmos audio track management ensure cinematic sound immersion, true to the creators’ vision.
