Our Verdict
Panasonic W95A
Panasonic W70B
The Panasonic W95A is significantly better than the Panasonic W70B. The W95A delivers a far more impactful HDR experience thanks to its higher peak brightness and full array local dimming feature. Colors are brighter and more vibrant on the W95A, and it displays a much wider color gamut. The W95A is also better for gaming thanks to its better selection of gaming features, including VRR support and a 144Hz refresh rate.
