Panasonic’s Z95B has the secret OLED TV tech we were hunting for

The Panasonic Z95B OLED TV.

After a long absence from the American market, beloved TV manufacturer Panasonic enters into its second year back in the U.S., announcing at CES 2025 today not one but three new TVs. In addition to a new mini-LED and a new lower-tier LED option, all eyes are on Panasonic's latest flagship OLED, the Z95B that features spatial audio sound and a new "next-generation" four-layer panel structure that improves color volume and brightness without the need for MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology.
Panasonic Z95B series OLED TV
At the end of last year, Panasonic made a triumphant return to the U.S. (after being absent for more than a decade) with the launch of two of the best TVs we've ever seen: the Z95A OLED and the W95A mini-LED that our TV experts called "one of the top 5 TVs ever made" and "its best QLED mini-LED," respectively. If the Panasonic Z95B Series OLED picks up where its predecessor left off, then nit nerds will be in for a treat this year. We saw a sample of it during the press conference at CES, and it is stunning.

With LG being sheepish with the details about its non-MLA (Micro Lens Array) OLED panels, Panasonic has shed some light on things, detailing the Z95B's "Primary RGB Tandem Panel and ThermalFlow Cooling System." The technology employs a four-layer emission structure with individual red, green, and (two) blue layers -- instead of the two blue with a red/green/yellow-green layer sandwiched between. It means it "refines the wavelength of light and increases color purity, thus enhancing light efficiency by 40 percent," a press release says. "This improvement enables a significant increase in brightness and a broader color volume, delivering even richer, more realistic imagery."

JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition headphones.

For years, JLab has been synonymous with budget-friendly audio, but lately, it's been making inroads into the mid-to-high-end market. The latest product in that effort was revealed at CES 2025: the Epic Lux Lab Edition wireless noise-canceling headphones, which have a sleek design that reminds me of luxury models from Bowers & Wilkins, Sennheiser, and Sony. Still, in keeping with JLab's focus on accessible pricing, these new cans are priced at just $200 and will be available for preorder starting January 6, with shipping expected to begin on January 30.

Many of the Epic Lux Lab Edition features and specifications will feel familiar to those who keep an eye on the wireless headphone space, e.g.: 32mm dynamic drivers, spatial audio with head tracking, Bluetooth Multipoint, Google Fast Pair, and Find My Device functionality. They're also the first JLab headphones to offer adaptive noise canceling and transparency modes.

The Samsung S95F OLED on display at CES 2025.

It's January, and you know what that means -- CES 2025 is revving up. Samsung burst out of the gates tonight by announcing its offerings for the year, including its 2025 Neo QLED and OLED TVs, audio products, and more, all of which are poised to push the limits of AI-powered features and functionality. Pricing and availability details are still unknown, but here's what we know so far.
Vision AI features
Before we get into the specific TV models in Samsung's 2025 lineup, it'll be helpful to understand the artificial intelligence direction the company is heading in this year, as this will all play into the TVs and tech to follow.

"Vision AI" is how Samsung is branding it this year, and in addition to enhancements and improvements to its AI Upscaling, Auto HDR Remastering, and Adaptive Sound Pro features from previous-year TV models, Samsung has also added a new Color Booster Pro feature that "leverages AI to offer richer, more vibrant colors than ever before."
