- Panasonic reveals its 2025 TV lineup
- The range is headed by the flagship Z95B OLED TV
- The line includes the W95B mini-LED and W70B LED televisions.
Panasonic has revealed its 2025 TV lineup at CES 2025. The reveal consists of three TVs: the flagship Z95B, the mini-LED W95B, and the W70B, a more entry-level LED TV. There is currently no pricing information or release dates for these models.
The Panasonic Z95B, successor to the Panasonic Z95A, one of the best OLED TVs of 2024, is the flagship of the 2025 line. It will use a new ‘Primary RGB Tandem Panel’ instead of the microlens array (MLA) OLED panel used in its predecessor, which Panasonic says will result in higher brightness, better details and greater color volume.
The Panasonic W95B will have an improved mini-LED panel with up to 2.5 times more dimming zones compared to last year’s W95A, resulting in better contrast and black levels.
Panasonic’s entry-level LED series will support HDR10+ (decoding only), HDR10 and HLG formats and will have a slim bezel design.
All three teams use Fire TV as a smart TV platform. Both the Z95B and W95B will feature a new Prime Video calibrated mode, a picture mode optimized for viewing Amazon Prime Video content, as well as Calman and ISF calibration tools to adjust 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 streaming TV.
The Z95B and W95B will be available in both the US and the UK, while the W70B will be available only in the US. Scroll down for more detailed information on each TV.
Panasonic Z95B OLED 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 quad-layer primary RGB tandem panel, which is combined with Panasonic’s own ThermalFlow cooling system. Panasonic says this will make the Z95B bolder, brighter, more colorful and richer in detail than the Z95A.
The new panel replaces the microlens OLED (MLA) panel used on the Z95A as well as the LG G4. It hasn’t been officially confirmed whether this quad-layer panel is the same ‘quad-stack’ panel that appears on the LG M5 and G5 OLEDs, but it seems likely.
The Z95B features an HCX Pro AI MK II processor, which will support Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ HDR formats. There’s also a Precision Detail feature, designed to “unlock more Dolby Vision content.”
The Z95B’s integrated speaker system has been redesigned to allow for a wider soundstage and improved spatial audio processing. It will also support the Dolby Atmos audio format. If its speaker system is anything like that of the Z95A, which was arguably the best sounding TV released in 2024, we have high hopes.
The Z95B supports gaming features you’d expect to find on the best gaming TVs, including 4K 144Hz, VRR (AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync), ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming, as well as a True Game mode.
Panasonic W95B mini LED TV
The Panasonic W95B is the mini-LED entry in Panasonic’s 2025 line of TVs. It will be available in sizes 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches in both the US and UK.
The W95B features a mini-LED panel that will offer improved contrast, better black levels and better details than previous mini-LED models, according to Panasonic. With 2.5 times more local dimming zones than the W95A (this depends on screen size), the W95B promises better backlight control, resulting in a better overall image.
The W95B will feature the same HCX Pro AI MKII processor found in the Z95B. It will support Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ formats, along with a Precision Detail feature that “unlocks more Dolby Vision content.”
The W95B is also well suited for gaming, with 4K 144Hz gaming, AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision, which also supports 144Hz.
The W95B’s built-in sound system is yet to be confirmed, but yes, a 20W subwoofer is included.
Panasonic W70B LED TV
The Panasonic W70B will be available in the US in sizes 43, 50, 55, 65, 70, 75 and 85 inches.
The W70B uses an LED panel and supports 4K HDR formats, including HDR10+ (although it is decoded), HDR10, and HLG. It will also feature MEMC for fast-paced imaging and sports viewing.
There are four HDMI ports for connectivity, although there’s no confirmation if any of them will support HDMI 2.1 for gaming.
The W70B will feature voice control as part of Fire TV, which can be run using the Alexa voice remote.
