Is the Panasonic Z95B OLED worth it?
Yes — a flagship OLED with great sound built in.
Its four-layer OLED panel and cooling plate make it one of the brightest OLEDs, and Panasonic's tuning keeps the picture natural and detailed, the way films were graded. The built-in 5.1.2 speakers with up-firing drivers sound better than many soundbars, the stand swivels, and it runs Fire TV with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and 144Hz gaming. Only two HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1, the accurate picture modes look dim in a bright room, and the remote feels cheap. It comes in 55, 65 and 77 inches.
