Panasonic Z95 Series (2024 Model) 65-inch OLED 4K Ultra HD Smart Fire TV, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, 144Hz Refresh Rate and Hands-Free Alexa - 65Z95AP

I bought the Z95 to replace my trusty Panasonic TC-P50ST50. I own several 4K TVs and gaming monitors but nothing that performs like this. I will be replacing one or two of them with the Z85 in the coming months.Pros-Amazing picture quality-Very smooth motion (default settings are a bit aggressive for some things though)-Very good sound system, beats every sound bar I have ever been exposed to.-Audio calibration uses mic in the remote similar to Yamaha YPAO-Price (LG was asking more for the G4 prior to Panasonic's return to NA)-4 HDMI ports (looking at you Samsung)-4K 144Hz-Easy setup-Alexa can control most of the basic functions of the TV-Hands free Alexa mic built into the TV can be disabled with a toggle switch and you can still use push to talk on the remoteCons-Audio is great but its an unnecessary cost if you have mid to high end sound system and dont plan to use it-Remote is fine but its underwhelming for a TV in this price range-built in WiFi is great but gigabit Ethernet would be nice-Panasonic took down the 4K demo "Display" by Perfume before I got to buy a 4K Panasonic TVThe next best thing costs the same amount and its not nearly as capable.

I rarely write reviews but since several reviews said it arrived broken, and that concerned me, I figured I would write a positive review. I've had it up for about a month and it's been flawless so far. I had an older LG OLED before, and it had significant burn in, so my only concern in getting another OLED was burn-in but I've read they have improved this a lot since in the years since that previous unit.For my specific use case I have this tv mounted in our great room, which has a lot of sun light and isn't suited for a sound bar or sound system. The picture is great, even with a lot of sun light, as OLED's are known to be (but was pleasantly surprised how much brighter this new OLED is vs the old). The standout feature for this tv is the sound. It's really good, and fits my use case perfectly.So overall I highly recommend it.

I have two plasma zt60 st55 both are beautiful tvs on there own capable of 3d and extremely good picture quality just like the old kuro that still surpasses most tvs i seen oled and leds but finally bitethe bullet on this one as it was on sell here im happy with my purchase no complaints and wow it has a stunning picture i had too tweak it a bit but side by side comparison to my zt60 and dam is my word it just as good or better than my zt60 and Is capable of most formats the dolby vision is the best on it i do feel that it does not like heat we keep our home fairly cool and i do have a power conditioner most of my things i have upgraded or modified as i repair electronics and am a electrician im not a nerd but i love picture quality and sound quality sure could have gotten a Sony or lg but given how my panasonics have been so good all these years and surpassed there warranty as i hope this one does im glad i did choose this tv if you like the plasma picture quality this is the secret sauce panasonic thanks for great products and keeping too quality .I have yet too have any troubles with my set add a picture i had took over the holidays excuse the mess in the background that was karate kid playing oh one more thing the sound built on it is awsome without any audio equipment but much better with audio equipment for sure .

The TV died in 5 hours of operation. While watching some content, a red vertical line appeared on the screen. I could not believe it was TV, so I just returned to main screen, and sure enough the line did not disappear. Turned it off, turned it on, unplugged it, plugged it, nothing but a black screen with red line, which eventually disappears and leaves you with a black screen only.The TV I am replacing is Panasonic plasma, that is still in perfectly good condition after 16 years. Once I heard Panasonic is back to US, I got motivated to move to the OLED world.Since other people don't seem to have this issue, it might be this particular item that is defective. So, I asked Amazon for replacement. I was told replacement was not an option! I have to return it, get refund, and order another one if I want a replacement! I'm glad I kept the box. I can't pack this myself, so I asked for Amazon to come and pack it for me and pick it up. After talking to three people transferring to each other, I finally got affirmative response to that request. We'll see how it will go.Couple of things about the TV that I observed within 5 hours (!) with no external connection to my receiver or Apple TV device:Good:- Picture quality is really good for 4K content.- Sound is impressive for Dolby Atmos content.Bad:- When delivery people unpacked it, the first thing I noticed was that the power cord is attached to the TV, rather than being a cord that can be plugged in. Moreover, the plug is ungrounded. This is a cheap adaption to US market.- I am not impressed with upscaling whatsoever. I can't compare it to another TV, but If you're not watching 4K, the picture quality does not have a wow factor. Having said that, I am not sure if I could have a better experience if I had the chance to play with different settings.So, the single star is for Amazon.I would give 4 starts to the TV itself, hoping that the defective item I received is isolated, and is not related to the TV's adaption to US electric system.
