Panasonic W95 Series 75 inch Mini LED 4K Ultra HD Smart Fire TV (2024)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having a Samsung tv for over 13 yrs with zero problems- it was time to update - 1) bigger screen 2)who Knows Trumps Tariff madness Had considered either another Samsung or Sony - then received a email about Panasonic review , I was impressed with I was hearing about Panasonic - Utube & reviews - made the decision on Panasonic - Price was a issue for me and on the Panasonic website was a sizable discount . Originally was going to purchase a 55 inch and figured how how I can fit a 65 inch in a small space, well did the 65 inch - good choice . It's a brilliant picture , quality is wonderful . Buy it !!!

In general, I'm a Panasonic fan. I've been a happy customer for decades - everything from microwaves, to oscillating fans and boom boxes, so I was excited to be able to buy a new TV. My last Panasonic TV was a 41" 2010 model that only recently died. Out of the box, overall picture quality is excellent - at least to my taste, requiring minimal adjustment. Color saturation is especially pleasing, but in a natural, velvety way that's less stark or cartoonish than with many other TVs. TV build quality is good, as I've come to expect from anything Panasonic, despite allegedly having been manufactured by TCL (to Panasonic's specifications). It's not all good though. The remote control is disappointing - it looks and feels cheap. I realize it's a standard FireTV remote, but Panasonic can and should do better. The remote provided for the otherwise same UK model is much better. Also, FireTV is simply not as good as GoogleTV for reasons I won't go into here. The "full experience" requiring an Amazon account (of course) is a bit too onerous and intrusive for my taste. The "basic" option is more limited than the "basic" GoogleTV equivalent. Also, grey uniformity is a bit disappointing. There are some noticeable "dirty screen effects" or DSE visible, though fortunately only under certain content situations. Apparently, it's very common to LCD panels, but still disappointing, as I believe it's a bit worse than a Hisense U8N I bought last year. The number of dimming zones is purportedly far less than other "flagship" level competitor TVs, and significantly less than those of the 2025 model. I haven't noticed a huge difference between this TV and a Hisense U8N, but there is certainly some difference. For being the most OLED-like from a black level perspective, the edge goes to the Hisense, but from a color accuracy perspective, the edge goes to the Panasonic. Overall, for the clearance price paid, I think it's a good TV. Had I paid anywhere near the original MSRP, I'd be disappointed, mostly for the reasons already mentioned.

Amazing picture, ease of setup and use, and incredible value make this the brand to beat!

This TV is a real banger! It just does everything right and is absolutely stunning to behold. Sports, games, shows, and movies look fantastic. The upscaling and low quality content smoothing work very well. The image, color, motion, blacks, highlights, and contrast are all exceptional. The Amazon Fire OS is very good and the remote fits in the hand perfectly. It is very responsive. My panel even had extremely little to virtually no observable Dirty Screen Effect(DSE), which is fantastic. It also gets bright enough for most rooms. If you are in the market for a premium TV but don’t want to spend a fortune, do yourself a favor and BUY IT!
