A Quality Brand With a Solid Reputation
For starters, I’ve always been a Panasonic fan. I did a lot of research before settling on this TV. I bought it to replace a 48″ LG-C3 OLED, which I had for 18 months and realized I preferred a 55″ screen. Price wise, you can’t do better for the same class of an OLED. The build quality is excellent. I don’t find the image too dark as what some are saying. I never get direct sunlight, and I prefer watching in a dim to dark room anyway. Even when I have on my overhead halogens, the picture is fine. The settings are good right out of the box, but I did have a friend come over who is a tech wiz and he help me set up my Apple TV to it – and the settings DO matter on that device if you want the brightest and sharpest image. Remember, it all depends on what content you are watching and how it was mastered. I do prefer my Apple TV over the Fire TV OS, but it’s just my preference. Fire TV works just fine. I have a Sonos soundbar connected to it which works great, however when switching inputs there tends to be a lag of up to 30 seconds before the sound and screen “coordinate” with each other, resulting in a black screen and no sound. When not using the soundbar, there is no lag when switching inputs. Could be different with other soundbar brands. The TV speakers are pretty decent for a TV, but not in the same league as a good soundbar. Movies look superb on the screen, and I watch a lot of older content and the upscaling is amazing. Sure, I could have spent 2K + for a brighter model, but I wasn’t looking for that price range so I’d say the Z85 is a pretty safe bet with a company that has a good solid reputation.

FANTASTIC!
Great build quality, excellent picture accuracy with ample fine tuning adjustments allowing for multiple personalized settings. All of this at a more than reasonable price point makes this one of the best choices if you are looking for a quality OLED television.

Great quality priced right
The picture sharpness and color quality is excellent. I am able to do without my Roku device. It is very easy to add apps. The user interface is easy to navigate. Excellent value for the money.I have had excellent experiences with Panasonic reliability with past electronics (TVs, microwaves…)

One good set and one terrible. Replacement good.
Bought one of these TVs a few weeks ago and it was perfect, I had Panasonic Plasma TVs in the past and this OLED TV was the first one I’ve gotten since to live up to the old plasma TVs, and the built in sound is better than most soundbars, it even has a built in subwoofer. I loved it so much I ordered a second one for another room.Unfortunately the second one has horrible dark spots and a much brighter horizontal line of pixels that’s really noticeable in dark scenes like the ones in the pictures I attached. It forms what looks like a sideways cross and is really distracting. I tried looking up fixes online and some suggested a break in period requiring 100hrs of hdr content to fully wake the pixels up so I spent the last week playing HDR nature videos as much as I could and it didn’t help in the slightest. It still has the distracting sideways cross look in dark scenes. I finally saw that someone mentioned checking a dark grey screen to fully see what was happening, it looks like giant portions of the TVs pixels are half as bright as the other pixels on this TV and the cross shape comes from the pixels that are fully awake contrasting against these extra dark spots, plus there’s a really weird pink glow, I took a picture of this as well for this review. I did the same test on the original TV I got a week prior and it looked perfect, with all the pixels looking like the brighter pixels from the second set.It’s wild to me that I ended up with one absolutely gorgeous and perfect screen and another one that has horrible black blotches that outline a bright sideways cross shape with glowing pink around it. Everytime I watch a dark scene I feel like I’m staring at a swedish flag reflection.Very disappointed in the second set I got, and never thought I’d say that about a Panasonic TV. Amazon doesn’t seem to have any in stock anymore either so I’m probably not going to be able to get a replacement from them. Hopefully it will get better in the next 100hrs, but at this point I doubt it and am probably stuck with a $1000 dud.Update: I got a replacement for the bad set and the new one looks great. So two out of three were good. I must have gotten a defective unit with the second set. Adjusting my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars.

Panasonic, wow!!! ❤️
Just had my new Panasonic Z85 OLED 65” TV delivered and set up by Amazon Delivery. It is replacing a ten year old Samsung. Out of the box with no adjustments and streaming from an Apple TV, the picture looks AMAZING!!!! It is bright and vibrant with great and natural looking colors.I included a picture but it does NOT do this tv justice. It truly is a sharp and beautiful picture! Awesome quality! This picture looks better than the LG and TLC tvs I saw at Best Buy. I highly recommend this TV! ❤️❤️❤️Note: some have said the picture is not as bright as other tvs but IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! I’m watching it next to a window at 3:00 in the afternoon and reflections are very minimal. I don’t notice any reflections really unless I look for them. Again, the picture I posted with this review really doesn’t do this tv justice.Buy this and don’t think twice! It’s Panasonic so it’s built great, looks beautiful, and it comes with a great little sound system on the back of it with just enough bass to enjoy but not wake the neighbors. 😍😍😍 LOVE IT!!!!!
