Our Verdict

LG G4 OLED

Panasonic Z95A OLED

The LG G4 OLED and the Panasonic Z95A OLED are extremely similar overall, and it's difficult to recommend one over the other. The LG gets slightly brighter with most real content, and it has better low-quality smoothing, but the Panasonic has slightly better upscaling and sharpness processing. The design and smart interface are the biggest differences between these two TVs, so you should get the model with the interface and design that works best for your usage.
