Panasonic Z95B

The Z95B is Panasonic's flagship model for the year 2025 and is a special case in multiple respects. It uses the same Primary-RGB tandem panel as LG's G series and achieves 2811 nits peak brightness. It is the only television in this comparison that simultaneously supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Furthermore, its 170-watt audio system tuned by Technics with a dedicated subwoofer renders a soundbar unnecessary for many households. hifi.de rates it 9.4 out of 10. The MSRP for 65 inches is 3999 euros.

Classification and Target Audience

The Z95B is the television for movie enthusiasts who value picture fidelity and sound quality, and do not wish to set up a soundbar. For gamers, it is the weakest choice among the flagships – more on that below. Those who own a large Blu-ray collection will find the most comprehensive HDR support on the market here.

Picture and Panel

The device achieves 2811 nits with HDR4000 material; in dynamic mode, it is around 2800. A more crucial figure is another: in Filmmaker Mode, the Z95B maintains 1000 nits reference fidelity – it displays HDR as it was mixed in the studio, rather than brightening it. The second-generation HCX-PRO-AI processor analyzes the metadata scene by scene, which is rare in this precision.

Gaming and Connections

Here lies the device's weakness:

• Only 2 of the 4 HDMI ports support 4K at 120 Hz
• Maximum 144 Hz in gaming mode
• VRR with FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility
• ALLM present

For a device priced at 3999 euros, the limitation to two full-featured ports is difficult to understand. Those who connect a console, PC, and soundbar will reach the limit.

Sound and Operating System

The audio system is unparalleled: 170 watts, a front array, channels that radiate sideways and upwards, as well as a rear subwoofer with two passive radiators, tuned by Technics. The counterpoint is the software: Fire TV responds noticeably sluggishly during app launches and updates – according to tests, the only genuine criticism of the device.

What’s Missing

In addition to the HDMI ports, the power consumption stands out: efficiency class G with 112 watts in SDR and 190 watts in HDR operation. Furthermore, the Z95B is only available in three sizes – 55, 65, and 77 inches for 2999, 3999, and 5999 euros.

Conclusion and Value for Money

3999 euros MSRP for 65 inches (as of August 2026). For home cinema users with an HDR collection and no soundbar, the Z95B is the most rounded device in comparison – the combination of both HDR formats and Technics sound is not available elsewhere. Those who regularly play on multiple consoles should opt for the LG G6 despite the weaker sound.
