Z85A OLED (65-inch)

Panasonic OLEDs are a cult favourite among European AV enthusiasts for their reference-grade out-of-box accuracy, and the Z85A is the more affordable way into that pedigree.

Read the product overview

It pairs a standard WOLED panel with Panasonic's HCX Pro AI processor, which is widely regarded as one of the best in the business for tone mapping and faithful colour, and it is one of the rare TVs that supports every major HDR format: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and the broadcast-friendly HLG variants. It runs Amazon Fire TV in Europe, gaming is handled well via two HDMI 2.1 ports at 120Hz, and Filmmaker Mode plus calibration-ready presets make it a purist's pick at a sensible price.
