The Massive 77" Panasonic Z8BA 4K OLED Fire TV Drops to Just $1,199.99 Shipped

The Panasonic Z8BA is a 2025 TV that uses Panny's updated Master OLED PRO panel, which is an LG-sourced W-OLED panel paired with Panasonic's own processor. Rtings tested it and mentions that it's very similar in picture quality to the pricier LG Evo C5, just not as bright. Because this is a true OLED TV, the Z8BA boasts near instantaneous response time, near infinite contrast ratio, and true blacks. It's superior to other panel type (LED, Mini-LED, etc) in most scenarios.

Thanks to its native 144Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 ports, the Z85A is a perfect match for consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X that can run games in 4K at 120fps or higher. It's a great TV for the Switch 2 as well, even though the console is locked at 60fps when running games in 4K. The Z8BA also has other convenient gaming features that are present in most modern day TVs such as variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode.
