The complete Piqelo review

A closer look at movie-night picture quality

If you usually watch films with the lights low, the 77-inch Panasonic Z8BA OLED has a clear picture-based appeal.

When the film takes over

Deep OLED blacks, accurate color and wide viewing angles suit films and off-center seating. Perfect OLED blacks, vibrant accurate color and wide viewing are major strengths.

The compromise to understand

Brightness is insufficient for demanding bright-room viewing.

The Piqelo verdict

Panasonic Z8BA OLED 77″ is most appealing when films are a priority and its picture strengths match your room. Think about the lamps and windows around its actual viewing position before deciding.
