I just tested one of the best OLED TVs ever made — and it's not from LG, Samsung or Sony
Price: $3,399.99Screen size: 65 inchesModel: 65Z95BPResolution: 3,840x2,160HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, HLGRefresh rate: 144Hz nativePorts: 2 HDMI 2.1, 2 HDMI 2.0, 3 USBAudio: TBDSmart TV software: Amazon Fire OSSize (without stand): 57x35.9 x2.2 inchesWeight (without stand): 53 pounds Panasonic isn't always the first name that pops to mind when you think about high-end OLED TVs, but that might be changing. Last year's Panasonic Z95A showed that the company still had it when it came to making dynamic TVs, and this year's Z95B proves that last year was no fluke. The Z95B stands up right alongside the current top performers from the likes of LG, Samsung, and Sony in terms of power, features, and price, and makes an excellent case for itself in every area. It's packed with features designed to improve picture and sound performance, and it succeeds at doing so time and time again. To the extent there are problems at all, Panasonic's dim tuning of its most accurate picture modes might be a turn-off for some and require a bit of extra time and care to get the picture looking its best and brightest all the time. Also, the Amazon Fire OS interface is old-fashioned and clunky. These are inconveniences you may not appreciate if you're shelling out nearly $3,400 for a TV. But if you can put up with them, the Panasonic Z95B is both one of the best OLEDs and one of the best TVs you can buy period. As Panasonic's flagship OLED set in 2025, the Z95B stands at the top of the company's TV offerings and replaces last year's Z95A. Whereas that earlier model was available only in a 65-inch size, the Z95B can be purchased in any of three: These are premium prices, yes, but right in step with the top-of-the-line sets from other manufacturers. The LG G5, for example, also has a list price of $3,399.99, and can be found on sale for $2,899.99. Although we evaluated the 65-inch model of the Z95B, all sizes have similar components and use the same technologies, so we believe you can expect similar performance across the product line. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Most high-end OLED TVs today pride themselves on their thinness. Panasonic, however, has taken its OLEDs in a different direction. This 57-by-35.9-inch TV is, like the LG G5, much thicker (about 2.2 inches, from the front of the svelte glass screen to the back of the rear panel), and the whole thing weighs 53 pounds. It looks nice and stylish, though, with dark-gray fabric covering the top and side edges and the 2.3-inch bottom bezel, on which the power light is visible in the lower-left corner. A hardware button in that same area lets you instantly access Power, Inputs, Volume, and Channel functionality with a single touch. The rotating stand is a terrific feature, making it easy to reach the various ports. You do, of course, have the choice of using the 300x300mm VESA holes on the rear panel to mount the TV on the wall. But if you prefer to go the entertainment center route, the stand included with the Z95B bears some additional mention. In addition to the large metal support foot (measuring just past 15 inches in diameter) and the cable channel built into its back, it allows the TV to rotate. Just gently push the left or the right side of the screen to either reach the ports (see below) or adjust the screen to be viewable straight on from anywhere in the room. This is a terrific feature and something we haven't seen on major TVs since… well, since the Z95A. The power cable plugs into the Z95B's rear panel on the right, and the rest of the ports are in a depression on the left that is easily hidden behind a snap-on plastic panel. Panasonic has positioned nearly all of the input ports (four HDMI, one with eARC, and two USB) to face out the left edge and all the more 'permanent' ones (S/PDIF optical audio out, Ethernet, IR blaster, coaxial cable, headphone, and one USB port) to face downward on the back. Of the HDMI ports, only two support the newer HDMI 2.1 standard that allows for refresh rates at up to 144Hz on connected devices as well as support for features like Auto Low-Latency Mode (ALLM); the others default to HDMI 2.0, which is limited to 60Hz. Although some companies (Sony being a major one) do restrict the number of HDMI 2.1 ports, many are maxing them out to help better future-proof their sets. (Though with the even speedier HDMI 2.2 on the horizon, how much this matters at this point in time remains to be seen.) We follow a standard testing protocol for every TV we review at Tom's Guide. Our benchmarks include a series of technical and subjective tests designed to rate the set's performance. For our technical tests, we set the TV to Filmmaker Mode (usually the most accurate out of the box) and take measurements using a Jeti spectraval 1501-HiRese spectroradiometer, a Klein K10-A colorimeter, a Murideo 8K-SIX-G Metal pattern generator, and Portrait Displays's Calman TV-calibration software. We also use a Leo Bodnar 4K Input Lag Tester for determining the Tv's gaming prowess. Subjective tests vary based on the reviewer but usually include anecdotes from a diverse selection of movies, TV shows, and other content reflecting the types of things you may actually want to watch on the TV. For a more detailed look at what we do and how we do it, check out our 'How we test TVs' page. Panasonic touts a number of innovations that set its flagship OLED apart from the pack, including what it calls a Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel that uses a four-layered cell (red, green, and two 'deep blue') to improve brightness and color gamut performance, and an improved ThermalFlow cooling system that draws in air from the bottom of the set and expels it straight out the top. Those specifics are hard to measure, but there's no denying that the resulting picture looks wonderful almost all of the time. Panasonic Z95B LG G5 Panasonic Z95A Samsung S90F Sony Bravia 8 II SDR Brightness (10%, in nits) 103 465 114 255 103 Delta-E (lower is better) 1.36 1.99 2.33 1.12 3.59 Rec. 709 Gamut Coverage 96.80% 99.69% 99.23% 99.99% 99.99% HDR Brightness (10%, in nits) 983/2,263* 2,296 1,625 1,231 1,584 UHDA-P3 Gamut Coverage 99.77% 99.79% 98.34% 100.00% 100.00% Rec. 2020 Gamut Coverage 81.42% 82.42% 74.44% 89.03% 90.55% Input Lag (ms) 12.7 12.9/9.2 (Boost) 12.6 9.1 16.3 * As tested with changed brightness limitation setting. See review for more information. The picture looked gloriously crisp in Filmmaker Mode (usually the most accurate, as it's designed to replicate Hollywood creators' intent) no matter what I watched, and colors popped quite a bit in movies where that's particularly important, whether in animation-heavy titles such as 'A Minecraft Movie' and 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' or live-action fare like 'Barbie' and 'Wicked.' 'Deadpool & Wolverine' and 'Dune: Part Two' played well, too, with the action scenes exciting, and the latter also benefitting from the OLED screen by delivering an appealing grittiness that precisely characterized the barren wastes of Arakis. Ryan Coogler's hit vampire film 'Sinners' looked appropriately harsh and moody, too, if occasionally a bit dark. Other things I watched, such as YouTube videos, also seemed to be dimmer than I expected. Changing to other picture modes (primarily Normal, this set's version of Standard, and Dynamic) did help correct this, but not as much as I expected. The Z95B covered considerably more of the Rec. 2020 color gamut than the Z95A (81.42% versus 74.44%), which is also more than the LG C5 OLED. What caused this issue? Two things. First, like many higher-end TVs (such as the Sony Bravia 8 II), the Z95B has its best picture modes (Filmmaker, Cinema, and True Cinema) tuned quite dim. But unlike those sets and, for that matter, the Z95A and almost everything else, the Z95B has been designed so its modes limit brightness to 1,000 nits unless the source is specifically mastered higher. When I asked my Panasonic contact about this, he explained that this change was implemented 'to improve the overall gradation and accuracy for [video content]…below 1,000 nits.' This tracks with the brightness results I saw: 103 nits with SDR content and 983 nits with HDR, all at Filmmaker Mode's default settings. But when I used Calman to remove the 1,000-nit restriction, its brightness zoomed to a first-class 2,263 nits — only a tick behind the G5. This is extraordinarily unusual — if not unique — to see in a major TV, and not something that will benefit everyone. If you don't watch things mastered above 1,000 nits (and you very well might not even know), it's all going to look quite a bit darker on the Z95B. You can increase the Luminance level in the picture settings to regain that brightness, or you can switch to Dynamic mode (which I do not endorse doing, but its brightness is opened all the way up), but just be aware that, if you don't, you may not be seeing everything this TV can do. It can do a lot, too, especially with color. The Z95B's measured Delta-E (the value that represents the difference in color between the image source and what appears on the screen, with lower numbers being better) is a deliriously good 1.36. That's exceeded (and only very little) by a few of the higher-end sets out there, such as the LG C5 and the Samsung S90F and S95F. (The Z95A's still-excellent 2.33 can't compete.) And the Z95B covered considerably more of the Rec. 2020 color gamut than the Z95A (81.42% versus 74.44%), which is also more than the LG C5 OLED, but not the G5 or the Samsung or Sony sets. The Z95B covered just a tick more of the UHDA-P3 gamut than the Z95A (all of this generation's sets are hitting upwards of 99% anyway), and we measured slightly less coverage of the Rec. 709 (SDR) gamut (96.8% versus 99.99%), but color performance offered next to nothing to complain about. Further bolstering HDR performance on the Z95B is the fact that the set supports all four major formats (Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG). And like all OLED TVs, the Z95B delivers strong uniformity of color and picture quality from any viewing angle, though the rotating stand largely ameliorates that problem anyway. Even the best TVs are rarely known for their superlative sound quality; the best I've heard have been the higher-end Sony TVs that turn the screen itself into the speaker, and even those could never be mistaken for a real home audio system. But the complex setup in the Z95B gives that solution a run for its money. It combines a large number of speakers in multiple locations (the bottom of the TV, the dies, and upward-firing as opposed to the typical downward-firing) with a subwoofer, ultimately delivering audio that sounds impressively above average. It doesn't matter what you're listening to, either: Traditional dialogue scenes, Gatling-gun-intense action-movie sound effects, pure music (neither the bass nor treble reminded me of attending a live concert, but the sound for both was fairly accurate, appropriately rich, and crystal clear), or a combination of the above all are a delight. True audiophiles will probably still want to pick up one of the best soundbars on the market, but if that's not you, you won't feel like you're missing much. To its credit, Panasonic has also implemented some of the best sound positioning I have ever heard from a TV with the use of its 360° Soundscape Pro technology. By activating Sound Focus option in the TV's menus, you can implement any of four configurations for your specific space, audience, and content, and aim the sound anywhere in the room you want it. There's four main modes here: Pinpoint (all of the sound at one place), Area (all of the sound everywhere), Spot (some sound everywhere, all of the sound somewhere), and Ambient. You make these adjustments with the volume on, so you can hear the sound move as you alter the positioning, making it even easier to get it exactly right. It's a fun, fascinating feature that works exactly as advertised, though I must admit, I tended to keep it off — the Z95B's audio doesn't need a whole lot of help. Every other TV maker: Take notes. Using my Leo Bodnar 4K Input Lag Tester, I measured the Z95B's input lag at 12.7ms. That's below the 16ms threshold of a single frame, and thus more than sufficient for most gamers' needs, though LG's and Samsung's sets do get in the low-9ms range, giving them an ever-so-slight edge. In playing through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, I noticed no lack of responsiveness and the animation was smooth whether in stealth or full-out fistfight moments. If you want to hook up a PC with a discrete graphics card, you will also be thrilled with support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. Though the Game Control Board (Panasonic's name for the pop-up in-game menu) offers access to all the same settings and information as the menus from other manufacturers (including the picture and sound modes, ALLM and VRR status, and more), it is a bit more distracting. It dims at least a third of the screen and fills it with round, colorful icons that took me out of the game just enough. A somewhat more subdued, cohesive design would be an improvement. It's rare these days to find many TVs not manufactured by Amazon that use that company's smart interface, but the Z95B does. This strikes me as one of its biggest missteps. Though it resembles other interfaces, it has some notable limitations. The home screen surfaces Amazon Prime content heavily (perhaps exclusively) in its top carousel. Aside from the 'Continue watching' bar, there are not many clear, useful elements situated in the upper part of the screen. And although it's easy to change your Amazon profile or add a new one, browse your Prime Video purchases, or search the service's catalog, doing anything else always takes a few more clicks than it feels like it should. Adding the HBO Max and Paramount+ apps to the app bar proved a shockingly byzantine procedure, making installing the app and placing it on the bar two entirely separate actions — something rare these days. It's an unfriendly approach I could do without. And even though the TV is clearly tied in to my Amazon account and should know my viewing preferences, its suggestions were curiously off-point. I'm a bit old for 'Peppa Pig' and 'Paw Patrol,' for example, and I'm not sure what I've watched to give the system the impression I would want to watch either 'One Night in Idaho: The College Murders' or 'Heads of State.' (That both are Prime Video exclusives is, I'm sure, entirely coincidental.) This made me miss the broader-ranging power of Google TV or the lean-and-mean ease of LG's webOS. At least the remote's voice search function worked well and quickly, presenting my results with a minimum of fuss. Apple AirPlay is supported for streaming from mobile devices and, increasingly unusually for TVs these days, there is an ATSC 3.0 tuner for watching the widest variety of over-the-air broadcasts (including in 4K). And the Z95B can use Alexa to tie in to your pre-existing smart home ecosystem. The Z95B's remote reflects the current industry trend toward smaller, simpler designs, in line with what we've seen from LG, Samsung, and Sony. It's less of a flat-candy-bar shape, though, with a rounded underside that makes it somewhat more ergonomic. There is a microphone button at the top, followed by a control wheel, and then a restrained selection of other keys designed for pain-free navigation on on-screen menus. There are only four dedicated shortcut keys: Amazon Prime Video (of course), Amazon Music, Netflix, and Disney+. My only real issue with the remote is that it's a bit slow interacting with the TV. I experienced lag constantly when changing the volume or pausing a YouTube video, and though it wasn't bad enough to disturb my viewing, it was more noticeable than I'm used to. The Z95B proves that Panasonic can play in the top tier of luxury OLED TVs and not miss a beat. With performance and features that, in most cases, match what you get from the best sets on the market, and a few flourishes you won't find anywhere else (its design, its ear-pleasing audio system), it gets just about everything right. The only real things it gets wrong are that brightness issue and its strange choice in smart platforms. Intentionally limiting a set's capabilities, particularly when it's one of the brightest you can buy, is a gutsy move, to be sure. But it's one that won't appeal to everyone and that may have an immediate, negative impact on certain types of video unless you crank up the brightness or change modes. And you could correctly niggle about there only being two HDMI 2.1 ports or the clunky Amazon Fire OS. On any pricy, high-end TV, those details do matter, and they matter just enough to keep the Panasonic Z95B from being the new king of OLEDs. But they can't stop it from being an outstanding set and one that — minor frustrations aside — earns its hefty asking price.

It's time to replace your TV if you notice any of these 5 issues
As far as big purchases go, TVs are relatively reliable. With a bit of luck, a new TV will last you several years — especially if it's one of the best TVs on the market. But TV hardware doesn't last forever, and depending on your viewing habits, there comes a point where replacing your TV makes sense. Make no mistake: You should feel empowered to wring every ounce of use out of your TV before you upgrade — there's enough e-waste in the world without you tossing out your perfectly good TV. However, if you're seeing these signs, then the time to upgrade is nigh. Like any computer, stuff just gets sluggish after a while. Your TV's software is one of the primary canaries in the proverbial coal mine. For better or worse, TVs have more in common with computers today than at any other point in their history. And, like any computer, stuff just gets sluggish after a while. This is especially true given the influx of regularly doled-out software updates from big-name brands like LG, Samsung and Sony. These updates are essential in keeping your TV up to date (not to mention secure), but over time, they can bog down its hardware. Unfortunately, while you can upgrade your PC's processor, but you won't be able to swap your TV processor out when it starts to slow down. You're far more likely to notice that it's lost a step if you rely on its built-in streaming features, since all of those apps are getting updates on the regular, too. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The good news is that you don't necessarily have to replace the whole kit and caboodle if everything else about the TV is perfectly fine. My solution? Just offload streaming duties onto a dedicated streaming device with its own internal hardware. We've painstakingly tested and reviewed all of the best streaming devices on the market, but my personal favorite is the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is pretty much everything you need in a streaming device. It's compact, its software is easy to use and its app support is robust. There are a ton of hidden Roku tricks to make the most of this software experience, too. It's not the most affordable streamer you can buy, but if I'm going to lose an HDMI port to a streaming device, I want it to support Dolby Vision. Roku's simple, clean interface is another massive point in its favor. Of course, if your TV's hardware is straight up failing, it has ways of letting you know about it. You don't have to be a precocious child actor in an influential psychological thriller from 1999 to see dead pixels. These dark spots on your display are exactly what the name suggests: individual pixels that have given up the ghost. Your TV doesn't have to be old for one or more of its pixels to be dead. Heck, I've seen them on TVs that have just come out of the box. At the worst of times, they cluster together, creating blotches of darkness in an otherwise normal picture. If you've clocked a dead pixel on a relatively new set, there's a good chance it can be replaced, per a manufacturer's (or retailer's) warranty. Unfortunately, if your TV is a bit older, it won't be addressed without a paid panel replacement. Depending on the make and model, it might be more cost efficient to upgrade to a new TV that fits within your budget. Of all the ways your TV's picture can visually degrade, the most likely candidate is an overall dimming of the picture. An LED TV's backlight — often an array of individual LEDs — can't last forever. This is known as the circle of light. (Sorry.) If it's getting tougher to make out details without the lights off, your TV's backlight might be reaching the end of its lifespan. Panels degrade in strange ways over time, too. I've seen backlight bleed on the edges and corners of a panel become increasingly more noticeable as a TV ages. And, while visual banding is often a product of poor upscaling or picture processing, hardware-related banding is tougher to ignore, as it remains static from one scene to the next. Think you're immune because you've got an OLED? Think again. OLED TVs are susceptible to many of these issues too. They leverage organic materials, after all. You've probably heard of the dreaded issue of OLED burn-in, but if not, I recommend taking a spin through our guide on how to prevent OLED burn-in for the full scoop. OLED TVs are uniquely susceptible to burn-in due to the nature of their display technology. Due to the materials used and a relative lack of preventative measures, this is especially true of older OLED models from 2016 to 2020 that are just now coming into old age. If you notice any of the following on your OLED TV, it might be saddled with burn-in: a ghostly, static outline, strong discoloration or permanent lines. Many new OLED TVs come with a limited warranty, some exclusively for issues of burn-in. As mentioned, newer OLED TVs also arrive with an array of software- and hardware-based preventative measures. From what I've seen over the course of my career, OLED TV-makers have gotten really good at preventing for what it's worth, there are a number of bizarre, OLED-related visual artifacts that might rear their head throughout its lifespan. I recently did a deep-dive into common OLED TV issues and whether or not they're worth worrying about. Have you recently found yourself wondering, why are TV shows so dark? You're not going crazy. The era of dark, hard-to-see content can be explained with a number of factors, but the biggest reason that folks often squint at their favorite TV series is due to how this content is shot and mastered. Most big-budget shows are produced from the top down for High Dynamic Range (also known as HDR). Most new TVs support HDR on paper, but they lack the capability to create a meaningful HDR picture. When you combine this with cinematic trends that lean into darker aesthetics, your ultra-affordable, six-year-old LED TV is bound to deliver a lackluster experience — especially if its backlight is already starting to degrade. Fortunately, in 2025, even some budget-friendly TVs are bright enough to overcome this. The QM6K represents one of the most affordable ways to land a Mini-LED TV at the 65-inch size point. It's not the brightest TV on the block, but thanks to its Mini-LED backlighting, it's bright enough to deliver a great picture in HDR. If you want to upgrade to a reliable TV without scraping the bottom of the barrel, this is a set worth considering. A TV like the TCL QM6K is what I recommend to folks who want to upgrade to a set that will make it more fun to watch new, HDR-mastered movies and shows, but who'd rather not spend upwards of a thousand bucks for the privilege. Don't feel guilty about upgrading your TV when it's technically still usable. If watching your favorite stuff is starting to feel like a chore, there are ways to improve your viewing experience without spending more than you're comfortable with and there are plenty of good ways to re-home your old TV, including donating it.
