Our take on the Panasonic 77" Z8 Series 4K Ultra HDR Smart OLED Fire TV

The Panasonic Z8 is a 77-inch 4K OLED TV running Amazon's Fire TV smart platform instead of Panasonic's own. OLED gives it per-pixel contrast, deep blacks and wide viewing angles, which suits dark rooms and film watching. Fire TV brings the full Amazon app ecosystem and voice search built in. Against rivals, it trades Panasonic's usual My Home Screen interface for Fire TV, so buyers who want Amazon integration get it without a streaming stick.

Questions and answers

Is the Panasonic Z8 a true OLED TV?

Yes. The Z8 uses a self-emissive OLED panel, so each pixel produces its own light. That gives near-infinite contrast and deep blacks rather than the backlight zones of an LCD.

What smart platform does it run?

It runs Amazon's Fire TV, not Panasonic's My Home Screen. You get the Fire TV interface, the Amazon app store and Alexa voice control from the remote.

How does it compare with Panasonic's own OLED models?

The panel technology is similar, but the Z8 swaps Panasonic's interface and tuning for Fire TV. Choose it if you want Amazon integration; choose a Panasonic-OS model if you prefer its picture presets and menus.

Is a 77-inch OLED good for a bright room?

OLED excels in dark rooms. In a bright room with direct sunlight, a high-end LCD can hold up better on peak brightness, though the Z8's contrast still holds for most living rooms.

Does it support wall mounting?

Yes, it is a standard large flat-panel TV and can be wall mounted with a compatible bracket. Check that the mount is rated for a 77-inch set and its weight.

What is in the box?

Expect the TV, its stand feet, a Fire TV voice remote and the power cable. A wall bracket and HDMI cables are not included.
