Panasonic revealed its 2025 TV lineup at CES 2025. The reveal consists of three TVs – the flagship Z95B, the W95B mini-LED, and the W70B, a more entry-level LED TV. There is currently no pricing or release date information for these models.
The Panasonic Z95B, successor of the Panasonic Z95A, one of 2024 the best OLED TVsis the flagship set in the 2025 line. It uses a new ‘Primary RGB Tandem Panel’ instead of the micro-lens matrix (MLA) OLED panel used in its predecessor, which Panasonic says will result in higher brightness, better detail and greater color volume.
The Panasonic W95B will have an improved mini-LED panel with 2.5 times more dimming zones compared to last year’s W95A, which will result in improved contrast and better black levels.
The entry-level Panasonic LED series will support HDR10+ (decode only), HDR10 and HLG formats and will have a slim-bezel design.
All three sets use Fire TV as their smart TV platform. Both the Z95B and W95B feature a new Prime Video Calibrat Mode, a picture mode optimized for viewing. Amazon Prime Video content, as well as Calman and ISF calibration tools to tune picture settings, a first for a Fire TV model. In the US, both the Z95B and W95B will also feature an ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN TV tuner for broadcast TV.
The Z95B and W95B will be available in the US and the UK, while the W70B will only be available in the US. Scroll down for more detailed information on each TV.
The Panasonic Z95B will be available in 55-, 65- and 77-inch sizes, with the smaller and larger models available for the first time in the US (the Z95A was only available in a 65-inch size last year) .
The Z95B’s biggest upgrade over its predecessor, the Z95A, is a new four-layer primary RGB tandem panel, which is coupled with Panasonic’s ThermalFlow cooling system. Panasonic says this will make the Z95B bolder, brighter, more colorful and richer in detail than the Z95A.
The new panel is in place of the micro-lens-array (MLA) OLED panel used in the Z95A, and also LG G4. It is not officially confirmed if this four-layer panel is the same “four-stack” panel that is installed in the LG M5 and G5 OLEDs, but this seems likely.
The Z95B features an HCX Pro AI Processor MK II, which will support both Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+. HDR trained There’s also a Precision Detail feature, designed to “unlock more from Dolby Vision content.”
The Z95B’s built-in speaker system has been redesigned to allow for a wider soundstage and improved processing for spatial audio. It will also support Dolby Atmos audio format. If his speaker system is something like the Z95A, which was undoubtedly the the best TV for sound released in 2024, we have high hopes.
The Z95B supports the gaming features you’d expect to find on the the best gaming tvincluding 4K 144 Hz, VRR (AMD FreeSync Premium is Nvidia G-Sync), ALLM and Dolby Vision games, as well as a True Game Mode.
The Panasonic W95B is the mini-LED entry in Panasonic’s 2025 TV lineup. It will be available in 55, 65, 75 and 85 inch sizes in the US and UK.
The W95B features a mini-LED panel that provides enhanced contrast, better black levels and better detail than previous mini-LED models, according to Panasonic. With 2.5x more local dimming zones than the W95A (this depends on screen size), the W95B promises better backlight control, resulting in a better overall picture.
The W95B features the same HCX Pro AI Processor MKII found in the Z95B. It will support Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ formats, with a Precision Detail feature that “unlocks more from Dolby Vision content.”
The W95B is also well suited for gaming, with 4K 144Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming, which is also supported at 144Hz.
The integrated sound system of the W95B has yet to be confirmed, but we assume that there is a 20W subwoofer included.
The Panasonic W70B will be available in the US in 43, 50, 55, 65, 70, 75 and 85-inch sizes.
The W70B uses an LED panel and supports 4K HDR formats including HDR10+ (although this is decoded), HDR10 and HLG. There will also be MEMC for fast imaging and sports viewing.
There are four HDMI ports for connectivity, although there is no confirmation as to whether any of these will support HDMI 2.1 for gaming.
The W70B has voice control as part of Fire TV, which can be performed using the Alexa voice remote.
