Great brand but is using LG's inferior MLA tech.
I would avoid them until they adopt QD-OLED tech.
Interview with someone from Panasonic, I believe they said the tv's will be available this month.

Panasonic's Surprise New OLED TV: Hands-On With the $3,200 Z95A
After a gap of 8 years, Panasonic returns to the US market with a high-end, 65-inch OLED TV. I compared it to Samsung and LG OLEDs in the lab.

Yeah but it's Panasonic..................
Only thing better is Sony.
And I'm only talking about TV's btw.
Panasonic is great.
However MLA is inferior to QD-OLED.
Sony's QD-OLED A95L won best tv two years in a row vs LG's MLA G3(2023) and this years MLA G4.
What we can expect is Panasonic to put out a better MLA TV than LG.
So you're saying we can expect Panasonic to put out a better TV than LG.
That's all I wanted to know. Thanks.
So I'm potentially in the market for a 55" TV, and was going to do some eyeballing around for a Sony Bravia 7 maybe early February when they're blowing out the year old/display models. This approach has worked well for me in the past.
Well now I have the Panny W95A to look out for. Gonna have to dig deeper.
But Panasonic coming back to North America is a good thing for consumers.
Yes they are better than LG.
Like I stated if they adopt the QD-OLED tech it would be even better and give Sony's QD-OLED TV's a run.
"Return of the King" there is very apt (I think I'm using that term correctly)
This is potentially exciting tech news to me. Who even owns Panasonic? All these companies seem to be under a huge umbrella system.
Whoever does though, why did they bury the Panasonic brand in N.A.? Never made sense to me.
Now bring back Pioneer Kuro TV's.
Remember Panasonic TVs? They're Back—This Time With OLED and Mini LED Sets - Consumer Reports
Panasonic, once a plasma TV powerhouse, returns to the U.S. TV market after eight years, with OLED and Mini LED sets.
So this is Amazon/Costco driven?
That makes me sceptic.......... just slapping on the Panasonic badge to some other TV? Probably. But.......might be good......and surprisingly affordable?
No these are the same Panasonic tv's that are available everywhere else, the flagship 65 inch OLED is $3200. These aren't off brand sets with Panasonics name being put on them. MLA OLED panel, their newest processor, beefed up sound system, supports 144hz gaming etc.Remember Panasonic TVs? They're Back—This Time With OLED and Mini LED Sets - Consumer Reports

No idea what BF means here. You can't mean best friend or boyfriend so I'm super confused.
Anyway, seems like the ideal TV for me personally. I probably won't buy one I'm still pretty happy with my whole set up. Never a bad idea to wait and wait and then the upgrade will likely be more amazing.
Black Friday…. November 29
I doubt he means the next one on the 30th, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation…. That sounds like a Halo CE day to remember the covenant ship.
Truth and Reconciliation - Ship - Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Truth and Reconciliation was a Covenant Ket-pattern battlecruiser in the Fleet of Particular Justice. Its Shipmaster was Lat 'Ravamee.
I actually called a place and had a great conversation about this TV, but just TV's in general and "open box" and "display model" and when the best time to go look for a deal is.
I guess things have changed. I really can't afford to upgrade right now, and I'm satisfied with my old ass Sony HX850.
We'll see next year when I get a tax return and profit share from work if I can justify a new TV finally. And my set up will require a new A/V receiver also.
So it's perhaps not financially wise. I'll just be happy with what I have at the moment.

Seems like every year I think I need to get a new TV and every year as we get closer to the end I say I'll wait until next year. I am looking at a couple of OLED's right now. The two Samsungs (which I never thought I'd consider buying) are both QD OLED and the cheaper model almost matches the more expensive one in every way other than not having a one connect box or a matte screen.
The S90D and S95D are supposed to be great for gaming and the 65 inch S90D is considerably less money than the 65 inch S95D ($1700 vs $3100 at best buy) so buying that and the extended warranty which covers burn in is pretty appealing. Not sure if I'm going to do it or not but thinking about it.
