Our Verdict
Panasonic Z95A OLED
Panasonic Z95B OLED
The Panasonic Z95B OLED offers a nice upgrade over the Panasonic Z95A OLED. The Z95B is brighter overall, so it offers brighter highlights in HDR and overcomes a bit more glare in bright rooms. The Z95B displays a wider range of colors, making them look brighter and punchier. Other advantages that the Z95B offers is better low-quality content smoothing, slightly better accuracy overall, and lower input lag.
