Very excited to hear the news of Panasonic TVs being reintroduced in the U.S. Brian, did Alex mention anything on when Canadian consumers will also be able to see Panasonic TVs back north of the border? I have been looking online for any information on availability in Canada and it looks like at this period of time there isn't any mention on Panasonic's Canadian website, and nothing on any big box and online stores here. Also shut out from importing the Panasonic TVs through the Amazon U.S. website to Canadian addresses. Hopefully, Panasonic will remember how many of us in Canada love their products.🤞
When I got my ST60 calibrated, I wasn't in a hurry to get an OLED. Honestly wasn't a night a day difference in picture quality. OLED will always have better blacks, brightness, but its not a huge gap to buy another tv.
Congratulations on being the Channel to break the news of Panasonic coming back to the US TV market with three new 4K HDR TV Series of premium 55" - 85" MiniLED TVs, 65" and 55" OLED TVs and 65" Ultra Premium MLA OLED TV. Great to have Alex Fried as your host!
Still have my VT50 from 2012. Still going strong 'til this day. Give me a Flagship Oled TV and I'm officially jumping in. Panasonic back in the U.S. ! This is huuuuuge !
I had the vt30 & vt65 (65") To this day the vt65 is hands down the best tv I've ever owned ( and I've had a few oleds ) none of this abl nonsense that both my oleds had.
@@davidbenning10 no longer have them , replaced with oled (lg) but the vt65 was thr better tv, panasonic bought the pioneer patent for the vt 65 and zt and it was the best tv they made, finally matched the pioneer kuro in black level and detail . ( Also was the best build quality ive ever seen)
Brian, you and I exchanged a few posts in a recent video of yours on how we both missed Panasonic and wished they'd return.... This is the best electronics news I've heard in several years! Super stoked to get my hands on a new Panasonic! I miss my VT60 and now I can finally have another Panasonic!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Right on. My Panny 65” S64 is still alive and kicking with a phenomenal pq. Looking forward to seeing what Panasonic has to offer in OLED and LCD. More comp might mean lower prices. This is excellent news and excited to see one at at a local Costco.
My brotha you have come full circle! Trying to upgrade from your Panasonic plasma panel is where this whole experience began !! Look how far you have come my brotha !!
First. STOKED to see the legendary Panasonic is back in the US and I wish them tons of success. Second. There are two manufactures that are the very best when it comes to OLED and that is LG and Panasonic and they are my most trusted brands. Excellent video my brother.
@jeffmeier1663 you'll love it ... I got a 65inch pro panel from couple yrs ago and a voltage tweaked 9g kuro still jn family room... you get the same cinematic plasma look to their oleds but the hdr is the real difference.. stick it in professional mode and ifc (intelligent frame creation) to off and few tweaks amazing screens..
@@christophercharles3426oled with no motion smoothing looks awful and nothing like the smooth motion of a plasma Just shaky looking double vision like you're drunk. Significantly worse than LCD let alone a plasma.
@paulcox2447 Not if you put it in professional mode... something panasonic do with their oleds make it like plasma ... as a family we still use a 9g pioneer kuro in the main lounge and I only use my hz2000 oled for movies via panasonic ub9000... no soap opera effect... why I'm hoping they do an 83inch...
And of course not 77” flagship. Panasonic being Panasonic…usual dollar short and day late. Trust me I sold Panasonic for years, PITA to do business with. Sony is a dream to deal with, great support and communication.
I'm very happy that Panasonic is back, I usually got that TV back in 1978 best TV in the world, and now something new for me never seen one like this I love smart TVs 4k different brands they should never miss part band and should be in the store miss out of them
think what Panasonic would do Help to sell well would be a realese earlier in the year...a qdoled gen 3-4 with great heat dissipation...and of course a pure glass display. I think that would sell really well.
@@christophercharles3426 yes I saw that from another post. Not sure why they didn’t have the same size here with this big launch. Is the 77” OLED a QD OLED or MLA panel?
Truthfully, Fomo and I had it first😁 my vid dropped the moment the embargo lifted. I thought it would be more impactful having Panasonic deliver their message personally. Thank you so much for being here.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Good call. Hearing from the actual rep also helps dispel rumors and misinformation, not that there still won't be some. I really hope these three TVs sell well for Panasonic this year. Enough that they continue and build upon it, and don't get discouraged and leave the US again. I'm sure they appreciate that they are starting pretty much anew compared to the TVs that have been available in recent years. I'm not in the market for a TV this year, especially in the sizes the Z95A is available, but want that option in a year or two when I am ready for a side move 77" or maybe even an 83". I was a big Panasonic guy, not only in TVs but lots of consumer electronics all the way back to the early '90s.
I've been a die hard Panasonic guy I still have a Panasonic plasma I've had them a long time where can you buy the oled at I would buy one for sure my plasma is from 2012 it's a tcp60st50 it's an awesome tv I watch a lot of sports on it they look awesome
FYI...I think your guest was given an incorrect product chart. The Z85 OLED is only 120hz, not 144hz. You can verify on the Amazon listing. That may be a key reason the MiniLED (144hz) is priced the same as the entry level OLED.
65 will get a lot of buyers if it looks as good as it sounds. I have a 75 so even if I wanted to buy one I'm not going smaller. This was way too early here for me to watch live and I had to work later till they just called me off now. Panasonic should be a beast and fully compete with Sony heads up. My first new TV was a Panasonic GAO super flat 27 and it was an excellent SD CRT set, good enough I later bought the upgraded version with dual tuners and multiple picture in picture modes. Hope they make bigger sets and 8k eventually, I do love my Z9K but bigger and hopefully cheaper sets will come from Panasonic. I'm watching now as I type, thanks Brian.
Yeah YOU'RE WELCOME EVERYBODY! I wait for years for Panny to start selling their OLED's in the US, give up and buy a Sony, and only then do they come back. 😂
My man Brian, this countdown/intro is an absolute Beast! Love the editing, there's so much of your effort put in these videos. I could not watch it live, I will start now. Cheers! ❤
I got burned so many times by companies that decided they no longer want to do businesses in a certain market or no longer support a service after only a few years so I'm very skeptical about Panasonic return in the US.
As you should be. They have no clue how to succeed with video in the US. They almost left the US TV market in the 90’s. Great product…clueless management. They smoked Sony when flat panels hit the market, only to be destroyed by the Koreans. Always scared to have too much product in the USA warehouses killed more sales than I care to remember. That is what our rep said, they would rather lose sales than be “stuck” with products. Panasonic didn’t believe huge TV’s sell in the US…how they have been proven wrong! Jusat like Toyota didn’t believe Americans drive huge trucks daily.
( Z85A )How many NITS of peak brightness for the Panasonic Z85A? Thanks again for your time and help it's greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work! Love your channel.
Heck yes!!!! Used to work with Alex, he’s a hell of a guy, salt of the earth, integrity is his real name. Panasonic forever! With Pentatonix new MLA technology this will be a game changer! This will be the first time the MLA technology has ever been used in the United States 🇺🇸, by Panasonic. Panasonic used to make some of the best plasma televisions on earth. Now Panasonic has turned its creative and technologically advanced eye onto OLED with advanced Ultra Elite MLA technology, that will change the way we view content at a fundamental level. Sorry guys, work in marketing and get excited.
Panasonic Z95A for North American market in 55/65? :) Panasonic released a North American firmware update yesterday for those models, so they’re coming to the U.S. and/or Canada. Also - rumors that Samsung will announced a glossy S95D at IFA.
The only Panasonic device I've had the slightest interest in past few years are their UHD Blu-ray players. Last Panasonic device I bought was in 1994, a very excellent 27 inch crt that lasted until about 7 years ago.
Just stumbled upon your page, and now sub’d. Thank you for interviewing the panasonic rep! I am still using my ZT60 till this day, but now I’m ready to upgrade my living room setup to a Panasonic oled (using a 48 C1 in bedroom). Any chance you will be reviewing the Z85a? As much as I would like to have the MLA on the Z95a, the price range is too high at the moment. I feel like the Z85 will be like the C4 just like how the Z95 is like the G4. Hopefully you will get some Z85 to test out!
Yes! Still going strong on my THX Panasonic plasma! Which btw still looks great if not better than modern tv’s on dvd library too.. movies not available on bluray nor streaming can only find on dvd
Would love to see in-depth reviews of both the Z85A and W95A. I was looking at the Z95A but have no interest in the built-in sound system as it does not support all audio formats. I plan on getting a dedicated sound bar. Wish the Z85A had all the same features, including MLA, just without the built-in sound bar. However, that does not appear to be the case. I am still interested in either the Z85A or W95A since both support all the HDR formats, unlike Samsung, LG and Sony.
There was Panasonic years ago , OLEDs as well i thin in USA as well . , there is Panasonic OLED in the shop locally here in Europe . Not these but older ones . But its not like Panasonic did not make TVs .
Hey Brian, will you be testing the W95A? There are two things I'm especially curious about: how effective local dimming is in game mode, and what the PWM flicker rate is (as well as if it varies between picture modes).
From some one who has a panic MZ2000 and a A95L , the MZ2000 is the best tv in my home , accuracy and detail is better when I watch movies and soccer, and one thing that sony and Panasonic have in common is accuracy, but sony want push there tvs hard to be super bright so there tvs can be accurate , Panasonic push there tvs hard for brightness while still maintaining brightness they are the creator of the heatsink technology.
@michaelfoster3441 awesome... thanks for that... I love panasonic cinematic picture and was what I wanted to hear... be either that or 83inch G4 but price gap from 77 to 83 is huge
@michaelfoster3441 I'm in the UK and they never left... I may have to if no 77mz left by time I move.. I watch in a dark room so that would be perfectly bright enough..
You own a u9n? Bro, people aren't talking about that tv. I saw that video on fomo asking about if it's a poor mans b9. People nut hugging sony because the other tv is a hisense. Kinda sad. I would rather have a 16-bit panel from hisense than a sony tv. Im sure Processing has a plus on the b9 but seriously, nobody's out here watching 360p 480p/i. Almost everyones internet is 50 Mbps down or more. 1080p or 1440 is the old 480p.
Why is Panasonic using WOLED that has hit its peak? Hopefully Panasonic will bring QDOLED or something better next year. This is very exciting news that Panny is back.
I will be excited for a bigger tv, I’m talking like a 95 inch or bigger… so until those are made I will be fine with my current tv, unless qd oleds will get to the 85 inch size or go bigger at 95-105 or something else that would be bigger, then our 65-85 sizes
Hello everyone! Thank you so much for watching! As a Panasonic Plasma fan, it's amazing to have them back in the mix!! How excited are you guys?

@christophercharles3426 Yes I have the 77inch MZ2000 it also has the heat sink
@michaelfoster3441 awesome... thanks for that... I love panasonic cinematic picture and was what I wanted to hear... be either that or 83inch G4 but price gap from 77 to 83 is huge
@christophercharles3426 I would wate until next year , the Panasonic rep says they plan on bigger sizes next year in the us .
@michaelfoster3441
I'm in the UK and they never left... I may have to if no 77mz left by time I move.. I watch in a dark room so that would be perfectly bright enough..
U9N since I just bought a B9 (no regrets)! 😊
I totally forgot about the u9n.
You own a u9n? Bro, people aren't talking about that tv. I saw that video on fomo asking about if it's a poor mans b9. People nut hugging sony because the other tv is a hisense. Kinda sad. I would rather have a 16-bit panel from hisense than a sony tv. Im sure Processing has a plus on the b9 but seriously, nobody's out here watching 360p 480p/i. Almost everyones internet is 50 Mbps down or more. 1080p or 1440 is the old 480p.
Best News. Now let’s see if Canada is not far behind. Going to stay with my GZ2000 until I hear more.
Yes, please for the love of all things Holy bring back the plasma..
Never going to happen. No one is paying 5-10k for a 4k plasma.
They could never get the tech to scale to 4k
Hell freezes over 😱
I have a panasonic 3d tv that I gave to my daughter no issues
Panasonic
Best TV I ever had was a plasma Panasonic 🫡🦾
Why is Panasonic using WOLED that has hit its peak? Hopefully Panasonic will bring QDOLED or something better next year. This is very exciting news that Panny is back.
It has MLA. Saying it hit is peak when they just improved it last year with MLA is a bit disingenuous.
That's Fantastic news. But I'm so Jealous. Is there any plans for Panasonic to bring their TVs back to Australia?
Will they also be selling within Canada too?
Move over Sony Panasonic is here
55 and 65 OLEDs is a miss. Panasonic doesnt understand the US market. They need 77 and 83 inch OLED's if they want to compete.
Brian,
Any word from Panasonic on the brightness (10% and 100%) of the 55" W95A ?
@@MadLadsAnonymous nope! But I have it! Stay tuned 😁
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY please share something and your review for pana mini LED. Hoping it is the sleeper hit we all waiting for…🙏🏻🤙
I will be excited for a bigger tv, I’m talking like a 95 inch or bigger… so until those are made I will be fine with my current tv, unless qd oleds will get to the 85 inch size or go bigger at 95-105 or something else that would be bigger, then our 65-85 sizes
