Our Verdict
Panasonic W70B
Samsung Q7F 2025
The Samsung Q7F 2025 is better than the Panasonic W70B, but both TVs deliver a poor experience overall. The Samsung is slightly better for dark room viewing thanks to its higher native contrast ratio and better black uniformity. The Samsung also has slightly better colors.
