LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic today announced the launch of its flagship Z95B series OLED TV (55", 65", and 77"), introducing new standards in display and audio technology.

The Z95B series features a revolutionary Primary RGB Tandem Panel combined with Panasonic's unique ThermalFlow cooling system to deliver unprecedented brightness, high contrast, and exceptional color volume. In a further boon to picture performance, the Z95B series features Prime Video Calibrated Mode and sees a return of Calman calibration and ISFccc support.

Thanks to the integration of Fire TV built in, these TVs revolutionize how you discover and enjoy content, offering a personalized home screen that brings together streaming services, apps, live channels, and tailored recommendations, as well as integration with compatible smart home devices.

Panasonic's flagship OLEDs have long set the standard for built-in audio performance, and the Z95B series builds upon that, with a redesigned and upgraded 360-degree sound system. New line array, side, and up-firing speakers–which have been repositioned and optimized–along with enhanced spatial audio processing, provides an even more immersive, theatre-like audio experience.

Panasonic's design philosophy for 2025 focuses on optimizing form with function, blending technology seamlessly into living spaces, and also providing the perfect stage for outstanding picture and audio performance. The design changes go beyond aesthetics as Panasonic's designers implemented innovations to enhance both the picture and sound quality experience, while also giving the TV a fresh, premium appearance. The Z95B series features a full-flat design utilizing premium fabrics that integrates well in any home. Features like detachable terminal covers, swivel options¹, and wall-mount depth reduction help maintain a minimalist look.

For gamers, the Z95B series supports both AMD Freesync^™ Premium and NVIDIA^® G-SYNC^® Compatible, providing industry-leading low latency, support for 144Hz refresh rate, while True Game Mode allows you to experience games as the creators' intended.

Advanced Picture Quality with Primary RGB Tandem Panel and ThermalFlow Cooling System
The Z95B series uses the latest next-generation OLED panel with Primary RGB Tandem technology, which employs a four-layer emission structure that refines the wavelength of light and increases color purity, thus enhancing light efficiency by 40 percent. This improvement enables a significant increase in brightness and a broader color volume, delivering even richer, more realistic imagery.

Complementing the OLED enhancements, Panasonic's new ThermalFlow cooling system—exclusively designed and developed by Panasonic engineers—elevates the heat dissipation efficiency of the panel. Inspired by aerodynamic techniques seen in race car design, the Z95B series chassis features a totally redesigned thermal airflow structure through optimizing the position of vents and repositioning the subwoofer and other components. As a result, the improved heat dissipation sustains the peak performance of the OLED panel.

The Z95B series is powered by the HCX Pro AI Processor MK II processor supported by a 4K Remaster Engine that enhances streaming picture clarity. By leveraging AI and mathematical models, it delivers crisp, natural images with exceptional noise reduction for a and superior viewing experience. Gradation has also been improved to reduce banding.

The Z95B series also supports Dolby Vision^® IQ with Precision Detail, an innovative feature that unlocks more from Dolby Vision content, improving contrast in bright and dark areas. With added texture and depth, images take on a new dimension with astonishing crispness on the TV. This technology works in tandem with the TV's embedded ambient light sensors to perceive how bright it is in the living room and then adjust the on-screen picture to ensure that every detail can be seen, even the darkest of scenes. The HCX Pro AI Processor MK II also enables Dolby Vision support up to 144Hz.

Furthermore, Panasonic has merged the technical accuracy made possible by Japanese knowhow and engineering, with the color-tuning skills of Stefan Sonnenfeld. Stefan Sonnenfeld, Founder and CEO of Company 3 is a trusted collaborator of some of the world's best filmmakers. Sonnenfeld is among a handful of leading artists who have championed the power of color grading to tell stories and communicate emotion. Like many other leading colorists, studios, and postproduction houses, he uses Panasonic OLED screens as large-format client reference monitors in his daily workflow.

Immersive Sound Further Optimized
Panasonic has redesigned the speaker units, expanded the audio layout to create a wider soundstage and renewed its spatial sound processing. Additionally, Technics engineers have meticulously tuned the Z95B series, ensuring content is viewed and heard as intended by its creators.

The Z95B series features Dolby Atmos^® and a revamped 360 Soundscape Pro, featuring a newly redesigned, advanced sound system tuned by Technics that delivers an expansive, dynamic soundstage akin to a premium theatre. With a unique speaker system design, the upgraded immersive 360-degree sound system includes new fabric-wrapped speakers to seamlessly blend into the living environment.

The integration of new line array, side, and up-firing speakers ensures a deep, resonant sound that fills the room, boldens the immersive audio experience. The independently controlled high-output multi-speaker system leverages Space Tune and Sound Focus technology to optimize sound placement. By positioning the up-firing and side speakers higher and further apart, the redesign significantly enhances immersive sound effects, doubling the width of the soundstage and improving audio dynamism across both Dolby Atmos and 2-channel content.

The integration of a powerful new woofer elevates bass output from 20W to an impressive 30W, creating deep, resonant low frequencies that enhance the listening experience. Paired with an open structure design, this innovation unlocks the full potential of the subwoofer, enabling crystal-clear spatial audio with remarkable volume and power.
