Panasonic Z85 Series (2024 Model) 65-inch OLED 4K Ultra HD Smart Fire TV, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, 120Hz Refresh Rate - 65Z85AP

The first thing I’ve never ordered a Television online before so I was a little nervous about it but after it was delivered with care I totally recommend it for everyone who’s a little bit worried about it. After I got it I opened it and put it together real quick and plugged it in and the connections were easy to use and the remote was easy to access all of the channels and internet access, I was able to download all of my setting with ease, the weight of the TV was easy enough for me to lift out of the box but I do recommend to have two people to get it out and to put the stand on and place it on your tv stand. All that said the TV is functioning properly and a brilliant picture, I couldn’t be more pleased with its performance and quality. I recommend this TV. Price wise is very reasonable.

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!!!!!

Amazon deiivery left it at my front door, and with the help of a guy who was cutting the grass, we hauled it upstairs, unboxed it, attached the stand, lifted the assembly unto a dresser, put the enclosed batteries in the remote, and-- voila!-- in less than 30 minutes we had a perfect picture (wirelessly, no adjustments to TV). The toughest decision was choosing between this TV and the similarly priced LG set. In the end, sentiment (Panasonic's re-entry after a 10-year hiatus) and the Japanese connection (as opposed to Korean) led to my selection. The set looks great though the OLED picture, at least initially, did not blow me away). That was 2 weeks ago. My now the Panasonic has me totally spoiled. Compared to my LED sets (by Sony and Samsung), the picture comes on much faster and with a brilliance that pops out into the upstairs room, even with morning sun coming in through 2 windows. The sound is good though somewhat uneven to my musical ears. The bass frequency is present, though it's not the big theater-bass that a sub-woofer could supply. The only annoyances (minor): 1. The value of the included Fire TV switch was lessened by my Spectrum cable subscription (legal regulations prevent Fire from carrying the Spectrum app. But a Roku switch worked just fine. 2. The audio quality is over-promised by the description, which must apply to the optional neck speakers or a good soundbar. I plan to purchase the latter not for an immersive experience but to bring out announcerw' voices (during Olympic figure skating and college basketball games). All in all, a very reasonable step up to big screen TV and OLED technology (which I'd been following for 20 years, or ever since Sony premiered an OLED set with a tiny screen at a much bigger price).

Beautiful color saturation, sharp images, great price. It even significantly improves broadcast TV. Definitely choose this over any mini QLED, for about the same price or even less. The one star reduction is for the FireTV OS, it is extremely difficult to use, totally user-unfriendly. Give me ROKU anytime. Overall the TV is excellent, but FireTV sucks.

At the $1100 price point it was a no brainer. Coming from a 10+ year old Panasonic led. Picture is great. Brightness is more than adequate for most viewing conditions. If you have a bright room with windows, watching really dark scenes can be an issue, but this may be common with all OLED. Movies, 4k gaming, all big improvements from my old set. Fire TV is fine, not great, but I can live with it. There's an option to turn off auto play ads in the preferences, featured content. It can be lagging at times and sometimes the apps don't appear on home screen, but usually turning off and on again fixes it. EARC going to my receiver works great for my home theater. Having a built in ATSC 3.0 tuner was great for me since I don't pay for cable or YouTube tv anymore and it's how I watch live sports most of the time. I haven't seen it mentioned in reviews but I really like the integration of the live TV with the antenna. This may not be important to many but this was a surprising feature for me. You can even pause and rewind. Overall no regrets. Easy to recommend for someone looking for an upgrade.

I have had this TV for over a year now. I did have some connection issues at first but those seem settled or I have learned how things work. I have Fire TV so it gets confusing when tuning in local channels. This TV will show the Fire TV version and the antenna version on the guide. I'm never quite sure which one I am tuning into. As far as the picture goes, I am more than satisfied. With some tweaking, I was able to get the colors more natural. Not that the default was oversaturated but maybe the tint was a little off from what I felt was a natural coloration. Of course the content matters too and will vary widely but I was able to find a happy medium that looks great overall. My previous TVs were Panasonic plasmas from around 2010 and I am still using one of those for another week until my 2nd OLED arrives. They actually still work great and have nice deep black levels but the OLED panels rank right there with them and have a much clearer picture (and use much less electricity, don't have the slight buzz that developed with bright scenes, and give off less heat.)

I had the exact same issue with one of the other reviewers: first TV came cracked and broken, and the second TV started developing a bunch of dead pixels and a bright line after 6 months. Now it wouldn’t even turn on. Panasonic support has been stalling me and sending me the same “We are working the issue and sorry for the delay” email for over two weeks now. Looks like they will just keep doing it without trying to provide any meaningful support.

This TV is an insane deal. right around 1100 dollars for a 65" OLED is wild. The picture quality is absolutely wonderful and sits right up there with the LG models that are hundreds of dollars more expensive. Brightness is good, but I would be wary of using this TV in a very bright room. The FireTV interface is absolutely fine. My only issue with this TV, and it's probably just some feature that I have not uncovered, is that even with adaptive brightness turned OFF I will suddenly have content become noticeably dimmer. This is prevalent after an Ad or other screen-overlay content appears over a YouTube video. That issue aside, it's so great to have an option for an affordable OLED TV from a company like Panasonic, who years ago was known for their high quality TVs. One note, and I won't ding my review score for the TV for this, Amazon TV delivery is an absolute gamble. The delivery people do not show the same care for delivering these items that companies like Costco and Best Buy will. Generally, TVs are supposed to stay upright in the box when delivered. My TV was upside down and leaning between two other heavy packages in the delivery truck. Everything ended up fine, but it would be nice to have some confidence that the delivery items are better secured in the truck during transit.
