Panasonic has shared details on its 2026 television range for Europe. The company adds a budget-friendly OLED model while keeping last year’s top options. It also rolls out several miniLED LCD sets with various features and smart platforms.
OLED Models in the Lineup
The 2026 selection keeps the Z95B and Z90B from before. These serve as the premium choices. The Z95B comes in 55, 65, and 77 inches with a Primary RGB Tandem panel and ThermalFlow cooling. The Z90B offers sizes from 42 to 77 inches, both with 120Hz refresh rates and support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Filmmaker Mode.
A fresh entry is the Z85C and Z86C series. These mark Panasonic’s most affordable OLED TVs to date. They use the new OLED SE panel made by LG Display. Available only in 55 and 65 inches, they handle 120Hz, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Filmmaker Mode, and Dolby Atmos. They include three HDMI 2.1 ports with variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode, but skip some gaming extras like Game Mode Extreme.
The main split between Z85C and Z86C lies in the operating system. Z85C runs Google TV for continental Europe, while Z86C uses Fire TV in the UK.
MiniLED LCD Options
Panasonic focuses much of the 2026 updates on LCD TVs with miniLED backlighting. The top W95C and W97C models are QD-miniLED types. They come in 55, 65, 75, and 86 inches. These boast over 1,000 dimming zones, peak brightness around 1,500 nits, and 105% DCI-P3 color coverage. They feature Glare Free Ultra coating, 144Hz panels, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and HDMI 2.1. Both run Google TV and have a built-in microphone for voice commands.
Next down is the W94C, available in 55, 65, and 75 inches. It shares many traits like Glare Free Ultra, 144Hz, and Dolby formats, but uses Fire TV. A similar W92C variant opts for Google TV.
For more basic miniLED, the W91C and W90C cover 55, 65, and 75 inches with 60Hz panels and Glare Free Ultra. The W91C introduces Roku OS to Panasonic in the UK, and W90C sticks with Google TV.
Other LCD and LED Choices
Beyond miniLED, Panasonic offers QLED and LED models. The W85B from last year continues in 43 to 65 inches with a 120Hz panel. New W83C and W80C QLED sets span 43 to 75 inches at 60Hz, with Glare Free Max on larger sizes, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+.
Entry-level includes the W60C 4K LED from 43 to 75 inches on TiVo, plus smaller S65C 2K and S45C/S40C HD-ready options.
Partnership and Future Outlook
Panasonic teams up with Skyworth Display Technology for TV production. This deal aims to boost resources while Panasonic handles high-end development. More changes may come in 2027.
No prices or exact release dates were given yet. The lineup targets different budgets and needs with varied screen tech and smart systems.
