Our 2025 TV shootout between the LG G5 & Panasonic Z95B 4-stack WOLED TVs + Samsung S95F & Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLEDs.

All competing TVs were 55 inches in screen size, and were calibrated in SDR and HDR modes to the common standards used within the film and broadcast industry, perceptually matched to a Sony BVM-HX3110 dual-layer LCD mastering monitor capable of reaching a peak brightness of 4000 nits.

All the TVs were masked, so the 6 video professional & sole enthusiast judges didn't know which TV was which when scoring different picture attributes.
