Yeah I'm happy they leave upscales softer. Panasonic's are not for everyone, won't be best for latest and greatest BT2020 games, cartoons etc . But it you want the best PQ, the most natural image, the best dark scene handling . Then well worth considering a this TV. It wasn't perfect, but in normal day to day, these minor nitpicks won't even register , If you already have a big library of Bluray/DVDs, Plex server a great option. If young and starting out maybe a G4, S95D or Sony QD-OLED. I still have a Panasonic plasma and for SDR and just a cinematic experience I still after it after 12 years . Sometimes with processing Less is More
Lack of 4K makes plasma completely unusable for me for everything except bedroom 2nd TV and/or Nintendo switch duty. The difference in clarity is substantial.
Stick with the LG G3 - I'm not convinced that the Panasonic brand in the 21st Century is the same quality as the 1990s brand! IMO the LG OLEDs take a lot of beating in terms of performance, cost and design.
I just upgraded from a Panasonic GZ2000 OLED to an LG G4. The LG is better in every way except for built in speakers; but I use an external sound system now
Dropping $3500 on a new 77 in TV isnt a yearly upgrade path for me. Maybe in 3 years when tech transforms an image even more than HDR improvements or a few extra fps. I miss 3D I had on plasma.
As a person who has worked in a charity shop/thrift store here in the UK that sells used electronics (they mainly do furniture though called British Heart Foundation and are the largest chain in the UK for this type of store) I can say BY FAR Panasonic might be my favourite due to the fact I can use ANY Panasonic brand remote on ANY of their TV's from like the past 15 or so years and the basic controls such as on/off and volume controls and channel selection work without calibration or anything or having to disconnect from one TV to the next (additional features can depend on the model of the TV and remote for example if the TV is a smart TV and the remote being used for it was initially included with a non smart TV). whichever TV is closest will receive the input from the remote and the reason I bring this up is people would donate stuff all the time that would not work but if it had a remote we would keep them just in case someone else donated something that was missing a remote. I could even control their TV's using one of their media player remotes from a Blu-Ray player or sound system also replacement third party remotes that just work on their TV's are EASY to come by as a result since they are likely to work on almost all TV's from them

Love your very informative review with all of the important features/specifications and capabilities in an easy to follow and understand technical information. With your permission I'd like to add the link to this video on our upcoming Panasonic OLED (65" Z95A and 55" & 65" Z85A) and Mini-LED (W95A) TVs from 55 to 85 inches.
This is Great news, always loved my Panasonic Plasma ST60. I know the picture and features are going to be amazing, but no-one is talking about why not go with a QOLED instead of the W-OLED? Even with MLA Gen 2 still won't produce colors like a QOLED. MLA Is great, but it is still old tech. Would be great if they could come up with MLA QOLED... It is nice to have Panasonic back in the states though.
I have owned Panasonic since I was a teen in the 1990s. The last Panasonic I bought was the 3D model in the early 2000s, and it still works! I buy my first Oled from them.
This is hilarious. I imported my GZ2000 from Canada in 2019, and earlier this year I imported a couple MZ OLEDs to replace my GZ and another TV from Richer Sounds in the UK. Glad they're back, it's about time. Also glad I got the last of the Myhomescreen OS models, not a fan of FireTV and the light weight fast OS is better for use with an Apple TV and UHD BD players I use with them anyway.
This is the 2nd review I saw today where the out of the box settings needed tweaks by calibrators to get it in good shape - I thought this was supposes to be the big selling point of Panasonics while the LG G4 keeps knocking it out of the park. I am not a calibrator, nor do I have the equipment to calibrate or the money to hire a pro to do it - LG seems to understand this better than now.
Panasonic TVs have always been known for their outstanding accuracy OOB. No need for calibration, for most people. That has always been one of the reasons to buy a Panasonic TV. So, I‘m a bit confused and disappointed about the red-shifted white point. AVForums reports the same in their review. There‘s another review from Germany which measured very accurate colors, so perhaps some kind of error happened with the current UK panels?
We've been rockin' our Panasonic LCD for 13 years now and still love it. But I would love to have a Panasonic OLED, but on the smaller side. 42" would be great.
Picking up an old 55" vt60 for my son and i with 3d glasses and 5.1 surround. Can't wait to see his face. Also I'm buying the z95 the first chance i get. I love Panasonics dedication to Cinema quality imaging and sound. WELCOME BACK TO THE STATES.
DUDE I was looking for the release date of this TV online just a few days ago, thinking about when the reviews are gonna come. After seeing this today I have to say I feel blessed yet again to be interested in something RIGHT before it gets released. Thanks for the review Vincent, love ya.
I wasn’t SURE if they still MADE Panasonic TVs (or if Panasonic as a brand or company was EVEN STILL AROUND). Literally, my FIRST TV EVER was one of those old “black box” Panasonic TVs (it was a little 15” one that I got as a Xmas gift with my PS1 so I wouldn’t monopolize the family TV with my newly-acquired console). Anyway, I feel like 20-25 years ago, EVERYONE I KNEW HAD at least one of those old Panasonic TVs (that was a black box with the tube in the center and the silver Panasonic logo at the bottom-center of the TV).
@@Neonmirrorblack Sadly was a one off of surplus 2018/2019 FZ/GZ1500s Panasonic brought to the US for sale as large format client monitors to Hollywood post facilities. Value got them in Dec. 2020, about 40 of them and he sold out in like 2-3 weeks. When they left the Canadian market in late 2019, they got out of the business of making 120V SKUs for North America except bespoke special imports for large studios. I found a disgruntled enough custom AV integrator in Canada that was willing to sell me his last new in box 65" GZ2000 as long as I arranged freight to the US in late Summer of 2020. Blew away the Sony A8F I was using for barely a year when I got it. There's Panasonic, and then everyone else. True professional grade reference panels. Looks like Amazon has the exclusive distribution for now, due to the new Fire TV deal with Panny. Wouldn't be surprised if Value doesn't get them until 2025. I ended up importing the 77" MZ2000 on sale this spring from England to replace my 65" GZ and a 42" MZ980 for my office. Sadly neither size made available by Panny in OLED sizes here. The 2024 77" model was downgraded however from flagship tier to "Z93A" under their new lineup naming convention. So basically what a 1000/1500 used to be. Perhaps wait for 2025 to see if they bring the 77 next year!
@@ELcinegatto87 The feature set of these TVs is amazing, but I've already acclimated to a 77''. I can't go back to a 65''. Probably just end up getting a G5 next year. Coming from a C9. Still have my Panasonic Plasma in the bedroom.
@@Slitwheel Not OLED, or at least it wasn't shown to sell in that size, and it also looked like the largest size they were bringing to the US was 65'' (OLED).

@@yuragi1454 A95L is still popular this year though, which is what OP stated. The A95L literally won this year's 2024 TV shootout...again. So your correction was kinda pointless
The Sony A90J also had full 48gbps Hdmi 2.1 only on 2 ports and one being EARC smh. While most brands were capping it at 40 or 42 something like that. In my opinion even though most people won't utilize the tv to the point they need the full 48, if I'm dropping a couple thousand or more on a tv I want it to have a true hdmi 2.1 port at 48gbps. Sucks it's only 2 ports for the price I paid. Great video as always.
This would be the TV to have, if I didn't need a 77", I didn't have a sound bar, I didn't need it flush against the wall and I had £1500 extra to spend... Jokes aside (I have a 77" G4 and love it), I can't wait to see this Panny in the shootout, maybe it will come out on top. At least they finally, finally sorted out a new SoC and therefore resolved that banding issue.
I am very disappointed to have discovered that the calibration out of the box is not up to par, this in my opinion is a serious thing! Panasonic has always been the best in this respect and I don't understand why they didn't live up to expectations this year.
Tampa FL - Retired my Panasonic 65VT60 several years ago. It was the best back in 2013?? Moved to the LG77 G2, may have to look at Panasonic again. What is the largest screen size? 77", 83"?
Dude, exact same. 65VT60 > LG65 G2 but thinking getting an additional LG77 G4. Unfortunately here in the Philippines, the screen sizes for high end OLEDs are limited.
around 10 years ago i had a 42" 1080p tv and i had to replace the power supply and it was an amazing tv it looked just as good as 4k tv's i sold it to get a 4k and the person loved the crisp clean picture { I used Avatar the Movie } to show the quality of the tv and person didn't haggle the price [ i sold it close the price i paid for it ] in 2024 the same person says it still works great and still looks awesome.
My Panasonic plasma just broke when the Samsung QD-OLED panel came out. It was replaced. Would have loved to replace it with another Panasonic oled option.
Finally love my Panasonics plasmas was heart broken when they left the market and jumped to LG oled and they been great tanks but panny back I’ll definitely get back to my favorite brand
3D is ok for people that can see on 3D. I can't see in 3D. I tried all the different 3d technologies from when we used those red and green glasses to any other 3D technology. I didn't see any 3D.
@@Steve30x I can see the 3D effect and doesn't have anything against the 3D viewing expensive itself. But for me the tech has been too uncomfortable and lacking in immersion. Maybe in future tech improvements can change my mind.
Wish they weren't so expensive in Europe, the Philips 909 uses the same panel and will be much cheaper, notwithstanding the z95a is probably the best TV currently in production
Nice. Also, Love the work you do, keeps me pseudo-knowledgable about display tech. I mostly wish tho that we'll see MLA and QD-OLED together, but I doubt that'll happen before we see 75" microLED under $4k As in, Never.

The Sony A90J also had full 48gbps Hdmi 2.1 only on 2 ports and one being EARC smh. While most brands were capping it at 40 or 42 something like that. In my opinion even though most people won't utilize the tv to the point they need the full 48, if I'm dropping a couple thousand or more on a tv I want it to have a true hdmi 2.1 port at 48gbps. Sucks it's only 2 ports for the price I paid. Great video as always.
HDMI 2.1 switch Amazon and plug into HDMI 2.1 eArc port
This would be the TV to have, if I didn't need a 77", I didn't have a sound bar, I didn't need it flush against the wall and I had £1500 extra to spend... Jokes aside (I have a 77" G4 and love it), I can't wait to see this Panny in the shootout, maybe it will come out on top. At least they finally, finally sorted out a new SoC and therefore resolved that banding issue.
Hi Vincent, are you gonna do a Bravia 9 review?
I still have my 2012 ST60 Plasma here in Australia. It's going really well. I hope Panasonic comes back here too.
Really? - Did they leave Australia too?
They have always been for sale here in New Zealand ( Never left )

@@albey1816 Really? Have to wonder WTH they would stay in NZ after leaving AU seeing how much smaller the market is o.O
You should review mobile screens laptop screens tablet screens. You are my screen man you know you are awesome!
I am very disappointed to have discovered that the calibration out of the box is not up to par, this in my opinion is a serious thing! Panasonic has always been the best in this respect and I don't understand why they didn't live up to expectations this year.

@@FuIIDiveVRhe already apologize for bad measurements
HDTVTest award to any TV is a must buy , the only caveat is this is not in my region😂😂
To make a long story short it’s a Beast😂😂😂 This mug sounds amazing right as I ordered a 65” A95L. But I doubt I’ll have buyers remorse
Tampa FL - Retired my Panasonic 65VT60 several years ago. It was the best back in 2013?? Moved to the LG77 G2, may have to look at Panasonic again. What is the largest screen size? 77", 83"?
Dude, exact same. 65VT60 > LG65 G2 but thinking getting an additional LG77 G4. Unfortunately here in the Philippines, the screen sizes for high end OLEDs are limited.
They do a 77" but it's not MLA.
I’ve got a Panasonic gzh1000 65 oled, excellent tv that hasn’t let me down
Love Panasonic. The Japanese trio are back together: Sony, Sharp, and Panasonic.
Was Sony ever gone from the US?
Say what?? Sharp TV's are in the U.S.???
@@djoetmaHe didn't imply that Sony ever left.
I actually thought Sharp has exited TV market
@@PSYCHOV3N0Mstating the three are back indicates they all left bud
My 65inch PANASONIC Plasma is still working great since MAY of 2013.
Next Year please with a qd oled panel and we have a new King.
They need to bring plasma back.
Now we need to get this tv in 77 & 83 inch !!
WITH QD-OLED.
W-OLED sucks.
Agree if I am going to upgrade I want the largest size. 65 doesn't do it for my vision disability
"Time to buy my first Panasonic TV" That's what you said? @@PSYCHOV3N0M
Panasonic always best❤
around 10 years ago i had a 42" 1080p tv and i had to replace the power supply and it was an amazing tv it looked just as good as 4k tv's i sold it to get a 4k and the person loved the crisp clean picture { I used Avatar the Movie } to show the quality of the tv and person didn't haggle the price [ i sold it close the price i paid for it ] in 2024 the same person says it still works great and still looks awesome.
I wonder if Panasonic will ever use a QD-OLED panel?
Or switch Google TV much better OS
Great news! I've missed Panasonic.
This is a dream come true!
Shame about the limited screen sizes...
I had a Panny plasma. 55”. It was glorious…for the time.
Finally!!! I’d buy a Panasonic OLED!!!
My Panasonic plasma just broke when the Samsung QD-OLED panel came out. It was replaced. Would have loved to replace it with another Panasonic oled option.
Finally love my Panasonics plasmas was heart broken when they left the market and jumped to LG oled and they been great tanks but panny back I’ll definitely get back to my favorite brand
I am very happy for all USA Panasonic fans out there 🙂🙃🙂
Gotta start saving for one of these great sets!
Just bring back 3D playback, and these tv’s would be perfect
Uhh, no thanks for me 😅
I've my VT30 plasma for that. Was gaming in 3D yesterday, Assassin's Creed III.
3D is ok for people that can see on 3D. I can't see in 3D. I tried all the different 3d technologies from when we used those red and green glasses to any other 3D technology. I didn't see any 3D.
@@Steve30x I can see the 3D effect and doesn't have anything against the 3D viewing expensive itself. But for me the tech has been too uncomfortable and lacking in immersion. Maybe in future tech improvements can change my mind.
No 3d is dead it was a dumb gimmick that didn't work perfectly unless you were in the right seat
I love the cool eyeglass frame!
If it was 55” I would be sold! 65” is just a tad out of my range, breaks my heart tbh, I want one of these
65 inch only, unfortunately ; even though 65" is quite the sweet spot for TV viewing. Would have loved to see a >85" model.
Im looking at my 42inch Panasonic Plasma thats as old as the dinosaurs right now and its great
I want a 1080p OLED gaming monitor.... with black frame insertion quality as good as or better than televisions (rolling scan, not full frame black)
Wish they weren't so expensive in Europe, the Philips 909 uses the same panel and will be much cheaper, notwithstanding the z95a is probably the best TV currently in production
My TX-P42GT50B :) Living room tv hasn't passed on yet. We still have a VT20B. LG B7 in Kitchen and LG E9 in my bedroom.
tempted to purchase! But inclined on waiting for the bigger sizes.
Nice. Also, Love the work you do, keeps me pseudo-knowledgable about display tech. I mostly wish tho that we'll see MLA and QD-OLED together, but I doubt that'll happen before we see 75" microLED under $4k
As in, Never.
