While Panasonic isn’t as big a player in the TV market as it once was, the brand still releases some commendable products. One such product is the Panasonic W95 Series Mini LED 4K TV. The TV, which features Mini LED backlighting and a 144 Hz refresh rate, is currently on sale at a big discount on Amazon.
As a result of the 65% discount, the 75-inch Panasonic W95A price has dropped to only $799.99, down from a list rate of $2,299.99 (linked at the end). This incredible $1500 discount takes the Panasonic 75W95AP to its lowest price ever.
Panasonic W95 Mini LED TV delivers a bright and contrast-rich picture
The defining quality of the Panasonic W95 is its Mini LED backlighting that allows the TV to deliver a rich contrast and high brightness. Rtings’ review of the 65-inch version of the TV shows 1,400 nits of Peak 25% Window Brightness in HDR and an impressive 670 nits of Real Scene Peak SDR Brightness. The high brightness complements the high native and Local Dimming contrast of 5,267 and 58,338:1, respectively.
Moreover, thanks to Panasonic’s in-house HCX Pro AI Processor MK II, the Panasonic W95A also excels in upscaling and content smoothing.
For gamers, the Panasonic W95 75-inch Mini LED TV can handle 4K@144 Hz and supports VRR technologies. The TV’s input lag and response time are also quite good, making the Panasonic W95A a pretty good TV for gaming.
That said, there are obvious shortcomings that the prospective buyers of the Panasonic W95 Series Mini LED TV should be aware of.
For starters, the TV needs user calibration, which you can do with the help of Rtings’ guide. The TV is also not good at reflection handling. So, direct light sources behind the TV will shine through quite a lot. Coupled with narrow viewing angles, the Panasonic W95A is not suitable for a large seating area with bright lights.
Finally, gamers should also be aware that they can’t, for whatever reason, use VRR with Local Dimming enabled.
In short, if you want a mid-range, cost-effective TV with good picture quality, high brightness, and useful gaming features, the Panasonic W95A will get the job done.
