Our Verdict
Panasonic Z95B OLED
Samsung S95F OLED
The Samsung S95F OLED is better than the Panasonic Z95B OLED overall, but the Panasonic still has some advantages. The Samsung is brighter in SDR and its matte coating does an amazing job essentially eliminating reflections, so it's more suitable for very bright rooms. As good as the colors are on the Panasonic, the Samsung's QD-OLED panel displays a wider range of very bright colors. The Samsung also supports 165Hz and doesn't have visible diagonal lines when you sit close to the screen, which is great for PC gamers. On the other hand, the Panasonic offers superior image processing and supports Dolby Vision, making it a bit more enticing for use in a home theater.
