PANASONIC Z95 Series (2025 Model) 77-inch OLED 4K Ultra HD Smart Fire TV, HDR10+ Adaptive, Dolby Vision IQ, 360 Soundscape Pro, 144Hz Refresh Rate and Hands-Free Alexa - 77Z95BP

Love this TV, mostly. Excellent picture right out of the box. Every review I read was right. Panasonic is top of the heap. The Fire TV crapware is what I hate. Not a fan. Plays all the 4K HD formats that are current. Except Dolbyvision 2 has just been announced. 🙄 Sounds great, but I’ve switched over to my stereo, anyway. I didn’t buy it for the excellent built-in sound. The remote sucks. It’s a 6.2” Fire Tv remote. I hate the Amazon remote and the overlay, but the rest is banging. I was hoping to get the Panasonic remote pictured in the manual for the TV, but the manual is wrong. Has ATSC 3.0, so it’s NextGen TV ready. (I do use an antenna.). For picture- it’s 5 stars. That was my primary focus in purchasing. A TV that could play all the 4k formats natively. The built in Filmmaker Mode. All good stuff. I haven’t changed a setting yet. And from what I read, it can get even brighter with a professional calibration. I don’t see the need yet though, as I’m not doing color correction or anything on the screen yet. Maybe if I get back into the video field I pay the extra money for it. I think it looks fantastic right out of the box. I highly recommend, but am completely bewildered why Panasonic would allow this product to be Amazon-ified with the FireTV overlay on its menu screen. That part really annoys the hell out of me.

My disability leads me to watch a lot of TV. Now, this makes it much better and more pleasant. With this Panasonic 77Z95B, I changed from a 65" LG 2020 C series which was my first OLED tv and I loved that device. This Panasonic 77" Z95B is a definite move up not just in the size of screen but also the visual. Panasonic provides multiple 'out of the box' picture settings. The main reason many will want this is the most obvious with the built in Technic's audio system. If anyone already has a soundbar or some other audio system they may not the overly interested in this item. The audio is way beyond anything in any other flagship UHDTV brands so if you have no audio system and don't want to buy one, this TV is the obvious choice. One reason that I went with this UHDTV is not just the 4 stack RGB panels, the same as on the LG G5 model, but also with the professional grade Panasonic Processing. In addition to those panels that need to cooled, it is cooled by the very important system called 'ThermaFlow'. That is the Panasonic term for the cooling system for the panels that will keep it bright and last much longer. Many people will get frustrated or really dislike the Amazon 'Fire TV' operating system.Let me tell you, no company has the perfect OS. Changing brands just leads to a new learning curve on what works best in the OS that the TV has. The 'FireTV' system just takes time to get used to and learn what works best for each owners needs and desires. This TV was just mounted on 8/6/2025 and I am extremely pleased with what I see and hear.. The 'out of the box' picture presets are great, easy to use, and quite possibly, I may not need to get it professionally calibrated. If I do decide to have it calibrated, it already has presets for the CALMAN calibrator access to the needed settings.I am very happy with this expensive, but worthwhile purchase.

We have really enjoyed having this tv. The picture quality is unbeatable. We also enjoy the built in soundbar. Another unexpected favorite has been the Alexa feature. It’s actually really nice to be able to change the volume or turn the tv off with voice activation.I think my only concerns are the ads and some of the apps/software seems buggy. For the ads when you turn the tv on it can automatically play the preview of whatever is at the top. I find that annoying any day, but especially on a tv at such a high price point. The bugginess is another concern. I sometimes have to select an app twice for it to actually turn on. I didn’t deduct another star for this only because it is the 3rd party apps that do this, not the pre-loaded apps. It’s possible it’s not the tv software that is the problem, but it is worth noting that some apps aren’t designed well for this tv.Overall we have thoroughly enjoyed this tv. It’s next level to get to watch shows with such an amazing picture. It is on the pricier side but you can see and hear the quality when you have it.
