Panasonic W95B Mini LED TVs with Fire TV are presented at CES 2025

The Panasonic W95B series of Mini LED TVs was announced just now. It will include four models dubbed as follows:

• Panasonic TV-85W95B
• Panasonic TV-75W95B
• Panasonic TV-65W95B
• Panasonic TV-55W95B

The Panasonic W95B series delivers an improved double area control, building on the backlight area control and signal-based contrast adjustments introduced in previous models. By independently powering each LED and increasing the number of backlight zones by over 2.5 times compared to last year (depending on inch size), the system now enables even more precise control, delivering a heightened sense of contrast and detail.

The 2025 W95B series Mini LED TV delivers a significant evolution in color stability, due to the integration of a high color gamut backlight system with a proprietary real-time color tuning system. Utilizing a high-color-gamut phosphor-based backlight, the system dynamically adjusts in real time to ensure vibrant and precise color reproduction. Where panel performance, such as white balance, can be affected by environmental factors like temperature, this advanced system continuously compensates for color shifts caused by temperature and other factors. This innovation maximizes the potential of the high color gamut backlight system, delivering stunning, accurate colors in every scene.

Additionally, the introduction of Hybrid Tone Mapping technology elevates HDR content by analyzing the signal according to several factors and adapting tone mapping processes to each scene. This ensures vivid, lifelike visuals even in high-brightness areas, overcoming the color washout often seen with conventional tone mapping. Whether showcasing the brightest highlights or the most nuanced tones, this breakthrough maintains rich, vibrant colors across the entire luminance range, setting a new standard for HDR excellence.

The W95B series is powered by the HCX Pro AI Processor MK II processor supported by a 4K Remaster Engine that improves streaming picture clarity. By leveraging AI and mathematical models, it delivers for crisp, natural images, and superior streaming noise reduction. Gradation has also been improved to reduce banding.

The W95B series also supports Dolby Vision IQ with Precision Detail, an innovative feature that unlocks more from Dolby Vision content, improving contrast in bright and dark areas. With added texture and depth, images take on a new dimension with astonishing crispness on the TV. This technology works in tandem with the TV's embedded ambient light sensors to perceive how bright it is in the living room and then adjust the on-screen picture to ensure that every detail can be seen, even the darkest of scenes. The HCX Pro AI Processor MK II also enables Dolby Vision support up to 144Hz.

The W95B series is equipped with a powerful 20W subwoofer, delivering deep, immersive bass that enhances the impact of movies, music, and games. Designed for versatility, it also supports the connection of external subwoofers, allowing you to further amplify and customize low frequencies for a truly cinematic and tailored audio experience.

The W95B series includes Prime Video Calibrated Mode, a feature designed to enhance the viewing experience of Prime Video content by automatically optimizing picture settings based on the content type. Through this, users can adjust parameters like brightness, color temperature, and motion smoothing to suite various display types. It also leverages the W95B series’ light sensors to adjust the picture based on ambient lighting conditions and supports both standard and high dynamic range content.

For the first time in a Fire TV, the W95B series introduces Calman and ISFccc calibration, delivering professional-grade tools to fine-tune color accuracy and optimize display performance to industry standards.
